As Bai Jingtang and his companion quickly withdrew their heads, they heard the voice of Yin Xiaocheng rise from within the room, "Go back and tell your Lord Shen that wanting to get promoted and ascend through the ranks is not wrong, but it should be done on one's own merit. To think of using a woman to climb up the ladder—after serving as an official for so many years, it's simply a disgrace to manhood."
Following the end of his speech, Yin Xiaocheng, with a sullen face, emerged from the private room. And from the room behind him, the cries of Shen Yongzhen continued, accompanied by the sobs and calls of Shen Yongzhen's servants.
Yin Xiaocheng swept a cold glance at Bai Jingtang, Xiao Cheng, and the young servants beside them, snorted contemptuously, and turned to walk out along the corridor.
