Lv Huaiyu’s smile quickly faded, and he said to Chen Mo meaningfully, "Sometimes, choosing the right path is more important than working hard. If you take the wrong road, it’s like white sand falling into the mire; even if it’s as pure as jade, it will gradually become tainted... If you have time, you can come to the Lv Mansion for a drink."
With that, he turned and left, never once glancing at the two.
Zhuang Jingming watched the towering back, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.
He then turned to look at Chen Mo, his deep eyes scrutinizing carefully, as if wanting to confirm something.
Lv Bojun was as enthusiastic as ever, "Mr. Chen, we meet again..."
The jaws of the court officials behind them were almost dropping to the ground.
The Secretary, Prime Minister, Minister of Revenue... the high-ranking officials of the court were actually lining up to speak with Chen Mo, and even Chen Zhuo couldn’t get a word in?!
This is simply too outrageous!
Yan Peizhi and Feng Jinyu exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with shock.
At this moment, they finally realized that they had completely misjudged the situation!
From beginning to end, Chen Mo was never part of any faction, nor was he backed by the Imperial Consort or the Empress, but by the Imperial Power!
Treating him as a target in the factional struggle was a huge mistake!
"Chen Mo and the Chen Family should be viewed separately, this guy’s background is not as simple as we thought!"
"No wonder he’s so confident, even the Crown Prince defends him publicly, turns out he’s backed by His Majesty?!"
"Now the court is in chaos, the Crown Prince is still young, but when he ascends the throne, he will definitely build his own team, cleansing the old issues... So, Chen Mo is the minister favored by His Majesty to support the Prince?"
This is the only explanation that makes sense.
Everyone quickly realized the connection and their expressions turned even grimmer.
All that trouble and they gained nothing, not only did they offend the Empress, they’ve also left His Majesty with a bad impression... truly like lifting a stone only to drop it on their own feet!
...
...
Chen Mo exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhuang Jingming and Lv Bojun, seeing them off.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a group of people looking at him intently, their eyes seeming to glimmer green.
"Mr. Chen, long have I heard of your name~"
Cui Hao quickly stepped forward, his smile bright like a blossoming chrysanthemum.
Seeing Cui Hao shamelessly, the other ministers couldn’t hold back and hurried over, those who had been loudest in court were now smiling fawningly.
"Mr. Chen truly is dignified and extraordinary..."
"A son should be like Chen Jinyan, this saying is indeed true."
"Mr. Chen fears no power, enforcing the law like a mountain, truly puts us to shame."
Chen Mo was a little dumbfounded by this string of flattery.
Judging by their official robes, they should all be from the Six Ministries, technically political enemies of the Chen Family... Who turned this group of old-timers into this?
He looked at Chen Zhuo from a distance, silently asking: "What’s going on?"
