It was not until he entered the inner hall and waved all the servants back with an excuse that he kept his smile and asked straightforwardly, "Brother, what was our family originally like? I'm afraid there are only a few people in the 4 to 9 cities who don't know. You've only been granted the rank of nobility for seven or eight years, and you sprinkle money like water. I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate if the words got spread?"
"Inappropriate?"
Sun Shaozu was stunned for a moment, he then realized what he meant, and said with a nonchalant smile, "Don't worry, our money is earned in the right channel, not to mention someone gossiping about it. Even if the Ministry of Revenue, Official Qing, were to come to the door, I am completely honest!"
