County Magistrate Lei and County Magistrate Gao left the Prince Mansion together in the same carriage.
Despite the bitter cold and howling winds outside, their hearts were warm and content.
"No wonder that old fox Cai Ye has won the favor of the Commandery Princess," County Magistrate Lei exclaimed sincerely, "He harbors no personal intentions and dedicates himself entirely to serving the Commandery Princess. If it were me, I'd also favor such a loyal subordinate."
He felt a sense of shame; compared to County Magistrate Cai, his own personal desires were much stronger.
The White Cloud Temple bled the common people dry, and as a county magistrate, he was so afraid of the repercussions that he remained inactive. It was already courteous of the Commandery Princess not to strip him of his entire official position.
