"Do you need me to spare you some dignity?" He Lianfang chuckled as he looked at Zhao Yao, who wore a bitter expression. "You already knew what kind of person Zhao Zheng is. Why can't you accept it now?"
Zhao Yao calmly replied, "I haven't refused to accept it, nor am I upset." After saying this, he added, "I just don't want to think about it so much, nor do I want to get embroiled in the unpredictable schemes of the capital." He was no longer in the capital and didn't want to concern himself with power struggles.
"Really." He Lianfang clearly didn't believe Zhao Yao's words, but he didn't expose him either.
In order to convince He Lianfang, Zhao Yao unwittingly raised his voice and said, "Of course."
"You haven't returned to the capital, but you're still caught up in its disputes."
