Uncle Xu quickly stood up and looked at Rong Ling, saying, "Prince Xie looks up to me too much, but I lack the ability to take on the role of County Magistrate, your kindness is appreciated."
Rong Ling couldn't help but squint at Uncle Xu. The former National Academy Sacrificial Officer was once his teacher. Although Uncle Xu only passed as a scholar, it was merely bad luck. His ability and character were quite commendable; no wonder he was the descendant of a scholar.
Actually, Rong Ling's proposal was akin to a heaven-sent opportunity for Uncle Xu, but Uncle Xu refused, indicating his true loyalty to Feng Qing.
Seeing him like this, Rong Ling couldn't help but respect him more.
At the dinner table, Feng Qing naturally noticed the light in Uncle Xu's eyes and believed him to be a capable person.
If the Prince could indeed push for Uncle Xu to become the magistrate, she believed he could achieve great things.
