The Prime Minister waved his hand, "Mr. Chen is too modest. Everyone knows that you were wronged last time. It's time to vindicate you, don't you think, madam?"
Lady Wangyue looked towards Kang Chen and suddenly bowed deeply to him: "I'm truly sorry. I am apologizing on behalf of my son, Mr. Chen. I hope you can forgive past grievances considering His Majesty is still a child..."
Kang Chen lowered his head to dust off his sleeves, his stern face reflected in the golden cuffs.
He said slowly: "My wife is not in good health; I must take care of her at home."
Lady Wangyue replied, "About that... Mr. Chen, I hope you can prioritize national affairs over personal matters..."
"I'm truly sorry, I can't be like you, madam. While His Majesty lies half-dead inside, you can stand here so composed, discussing who should act in national affairs. I am worried about my wife and must beg your pardon."
Kang Chen turned to leave, not looking at Lady Wangyue's twitching face.
