Earlier, Shen Hao had already taken the risk of offending Tang Qingyuan to remind him not to take his current "acting position" too seriously. It'd be best just to go with the flow, keep up with the usual duties of the Thousand Households Station, and that way you don't offend anyone.
At that time, Tang Qingyuan really felt a bit sour inside.
It was like someone coming up to you while you were still happy about your wife being pregnant, only to say: Don't get too happy, the kid in her belly isn't yours.
But Tang Qingyuan was an old hand who'd seen his share of ups and downs. He'd hit his peak young, then crashed, and climbed back up through luck and hard work, so he adjusted his mindset quickly—he could tell Shen Hao was speaking from the heart, with no hidden malice.
