Chapter 136: It’s Time to Make a Move on Li Ming’an
Qi Yu was taken aback when he heard what he said and took a good while to realize what he meant. He asked, "You’re not going to be an official anymore?"
A glint of dark light flashed in Song Ling’s eyes, and then he shook his head firmly, "Not anymore."
He had tasted both the bitterness and joy of being an official. By now, if he still didn’t realize that he was not suited for officialdom, his whole experience would have been in vain.
Moreover, he truly did not want to live that kind of life where he had to be constantly on edge every day, just thinking about it was exhausting.
"Have you really thought it through?" Qi Yu felt it was a pity and asked again.
She thought Song Ling was definitely a clean and honest official. It’s just that his disposition was too gentle, which made him easy to frame.
However, if he couldn’t make it in the capital city, he could go to a place where the mountains are high, and the Emperor is far away and be a parental official there.
That would be a good path as well.
But Song Ling rejected the idea without even considering it, "Princess, please don’t torment me. I’m not worthy of the title ’good official.’ I’m a man who bears crimes. Even if I cleared my name one day, how could I have the face to be an official in court again? Besides, the Emperor would never allow such a thing to happen."
Qi Yu nodded, that was indeed the case.
