Xie Jue and Fengyu wrapped up their deliberations at the Prefecture Office, and it was already midnight. Xie Jue was still brimming with energy, but Fengyu was utterly exhausted. In his single-minded work ethic, Second Young Master had overlooked that she was a young lady, fragile since childhood, and not as robust as a man. After a brief introspection, he assigned a Shadow Guard to escort her back to rest while he continued to hold an all-night discussion with the Prefecture's steward.
Fengyu sympathized with the officials at the Prefecture in her heart. As she stepped out of the office, Qiuxiang whispered to her, "Miss, the Little Marquis came during the evening hours but left quietly."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You were busy with the Second Young Master; he didn't want to disturb you."
