Wang Dao sighed and said, "It's clear your decisions align, but it's all for profit. You must understand, besides profit, there should be virtue. How can all the benefits of this world belong solely to your family? As daughters-in-law, the honor should return to the husband's family; as daughters, it should go back to the maternal family."
"Alas, sages empathize with others, using their hearts to measure hearts, emotions to measure emotions, and kind to measure kind. You are not sages, nor should you deceive your conscience by doing things that benefit yourself at the cost of others," Wang Dao sighed further. "As the Yangzhou Governor, I am deeply ashamed."
The people standing below flushed with embarrassment and felt deeply ashamed.
Among the onlookers outside, someone shouted, "My Lord, a humble citizen wishes to speak."
Wang Dao immediately invited the person inside.
