Hearing this, Jiang Yue immediately remembered that Fang Yiming had told her and Xue Yan in the county office that he only recently became an official before this matter arised.
It must have been bugging him this whole time, and now he was able to do something about it.
At that time, Fang Yiming said that he just wanted to be an official who could focus on doing things that would benefit his people. However, it was too difficult to manage that without the right funds. He couldn't hold on anymore, but he still persevered for his people.
He felt that as long as Xue Yan was recognized as the Crown Prince, then Xue Yan's schoolmates didn't need to care about anything anymore. They would just ask him for favors and live off that. Wasn't this the easy way in life?
Now, look, wasn't Xue Yan already starting to escort those schoolmates of his to a life of comfort?
