In just a few days, Han Shizhong had grown more composed and started proactively expressing his ideas, thanks to Liang Hongyu's guidance.
Upon returning to Nian Nujiao, Liang Hongyu couldn't resist speaking to Han Shizhong until the middle of the night—"Brother Shen has befriended us not for mere appearances, but because he truly values your capabilities. However, a person's abilities aren't limited to military command and warfare. If you enter the palace in the future, the court's rules are intricate and abundant. A careless misstep could break protocol. For now, people might overlook the offense out of respect for Brother Shen, but fame and favor are fleeting. Ultimately, people settle scores after the fact. If mistakes can be avoided, they should be avoided."
