After the two brothers agreed, they sent a servant to deliver the message, and Mo Jiangqing immediately returned to his courtyard, needing to change his clothes before setting off. After playing a little longer under the pavilion, Xiao Mingwei grew drowsy. Lady Li offered her apologies and, along with the wet nurse, took the child back to their courtyard. Lady Xu followed suit and left as well. This left just the mother and son in the pavilion. Mo Jiangche continued reviewing case files with his head bowed, even having Qishu bring official business straight over. Since he had nothing else to do anyway, he was quite willing to stay by Chu Qingmeng's side.

Without raising his head, Mo Jiangche kept writing furiously, "Mother, how could it be so fast? I've just finished the case files, and there is still a mountain of official business."
