Su Xu had been serving in Jiangzhou for many years and had now received His Majesty's directive, transferring him to Capital City to work at the Ministry of Revenue.
He had been an official for many years, yet his career paled in comparison to his son's rapid promotions and esteemed positions, but he was still very pleased, since his son was indeed very successful.
When it came to all the young officials in the entire Daliang, there was no one more promising than his son.
However, happy as he was, he wanted to resign.
He had already presented a petition to resign to His Majesty, which was rejected; thinking about his upcoming return to the capital, and his audience with His Majesty, he planned to earnestly plead again in hopes that His Majesty would see the pitiful situation of his separation from his wife and allow him to resign.
