Zheng Liang smirked at Yang Luoyang's humble comment about the Yang Household and looked around the beautiful study room before saying, " Minister Yang, I am surprised to see that Yang Household has an open-study room like this. This household is bigger than I had expected." He commented.
Yang Luoyang glanced at Chang Ah with a proud smile and chuckled in embarrassment at Zheng Liang's passing comment and said in his defense, "It took me years to build this household from a single chamber to its current position. It was all because of years of hard work."
" I am honored that His Highness acknowledged my efforts and liked this place." Yang Luoyang buttered him and tried to make a good impression in front of him.
He was aware that Zheng Liang had been keeping him and his activities in check and was suspicious of him for his corruption and schemes to gain more power in the royal court.
