After a long moment, Guo Mian finally regained his composure and stammered, "This... how could this be... I..." For a long while, he said nothing of significance.
His face flushed with embarrassment.
Wang Yongzhu smiled and said, "Lord Guo, I don't understand what you're saying! Why, does the Guo family not deeply benefit from the Emperor's grace? Do you or the Guo family not wish to be loyal to the monarch and love the country? Are you not ministers of Great Chu and His Majesty? Do you not wish to repay His Majesty's kindness?"
Each pressing question turned Guo Mian's face ashen, causing him to retreat a few steps and hide his face with his sleeve, not daring to respond.
Wang Yongzhu then sneered, "What? You find it easy to speak of others, being generous with others' wealth, not caring in the slightest, but when it's your turn, you shrink back? You think you can just rely on your ability to talk?"
