Asking for an additional reward (2)

Fu Beichou pursed her lips when she saw the reactions of the officials. Though she was quite clear about their refusal to accept Mo Qiang, Fu Beichou still couldn't help but feel that these people were blind to their own faults and flaws. 

So what if Mo Qiang was the daughter of a woman who was once exiled? So what if she was no longer a member of the noble society anymore? She had done what they could never do for years; even with all their wits and resources connected, they couldn't raise the financial stability of this fief. 

Now that they were watching Mo Qiang rise, they felt unstable and disconcerted. If they were half as useful as her, then she wouldn't have to use Mo Qiang in the first place. She pursed her lips and ignored the dissatisfaction among the officials. 

If they felt upset, then they might as well think of ways to get better instead of blaming and targeting someone else who was better than them.
