"Zheng Gongxuan, you're speaking nonsense with your wild accusations!" In the moment when the Second Elder's face flushed with embarrassment, Zheng Yao jumped out, frantically continuing, "You… you speak so lightly, but have you even considered the current state of the family?"
Upon saying this, Zheng Yao turned and fist-saluted the calmly seated Supreme Elder, "Supreme Elder, my suggestion for Zheng Ming to kneel and apologize to the noble families isn't for my own sake; it's for the entire Zheng Family."
"I, Zheng Yao, am wholeheartedly devoted to the family, under the watchful eyes of heaven and earth!"
The Supreme Elder waved his sleeve and said, "I understand your grievances; there's no need to say more. Do you have anything else to say?"
As soon as these words were spoken by the Supreme Elder, Zheng Gongxuan's face turned beet red with anger. Zheng Yao, who was adding insult to injury, came off as a paragon of loyalty to the family.
