Chapter 1180: Touched
Mu Yangling met Mrs. Hua’s eyes and smiled. "I chose you because I think you’re the most suitable candidate."
While the few candidates recommended by Little Madam Xia all had their advantages and disadvantages, the most suitable ones were Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Lin.
The reason why Mu Yangling gave up on Mrs. Lin was firstly because she had already decided to let Lin Weide take over as the Editor-in-Chief of The Great Qi Times; secondly, it was because of Mrs. Hua’s social circle.
Although Mrs. Lin was not bad, due to Lin Weide’s influence, her social circle was very narrow. Mrs. Hua’s father-in-law, Hua Hui, was a loyal and brave duke. Not only was he a general, but he was also a noble. She also came from the scholarly family, the Shanyin Lu clan. Thus, it could be said that she had connections in both civil and military positions; also, she had a good relationship with the madams on both sides.
Mu Yangling didn’t want the court to start a fight before The Lily Times even started, so Mrs. Hua was undoubtedly the best candidate.
Madam Lu was the same age as Mu Yangling and was in her prime. When she heard this, her eyes lit up and she said confidently, "Since Your Highness trusts me, I am willing to take on the position at the newspaper office. A scholar will die for a confidant. Jingshu is willing to be Your Highness’s confidant."
As she spoke, Madam Lu bowed respectfully.
Shocked, Mu Yangling quickly came down to support her. Her eyes sparkled as she laughed loudly. "Alright, since you view me as your confidant, I’ll naturally view you as my confidant, too."
Little Madam Xia looked back and forth between the two of them and felt an inexplicable ache in her heart. Wasn’t she Ah Ling’s best friend?
"Your Highness, my maiden name is Jingshu. You can call me Jingshu from now on."
