Bab 443: Chapter 423: Worth It (One More)

"Compared to me, you were born into a prestigious family and educated from a young age. You've spent numerous years as a study companion in the Eastern Palace. You've learned from the Crown Prince about the way of serving the sovereign, nation-building, and governance. You've honed your civil and military skills, all aimed at achieving great deeds for the nation. In the end, aren't you supposed to be on the path to becoming a renowned minister, making your name eternal in history? You're not choosing to abandon your home and career, forsaking your original path for ephemeral love and pleasure, right?"

Jiang Zhu did not believe that nobody had ever said this to Zhou Gu before.

Zhou Gu choked on his words, silent and speechless. After a while, he muttered, "Why do you care about me? I'm asking you. If you refuse, I won't recommend you."

Jiang Zhu fell silent.
