Liu Family seemed quite unhappy with Bai Ruozhu talking to Bo Zheng, rushing over with displeasure and saying, "What on earth has Chang Sheng gone off to do? Why must we all wait for him? It's not like he's doing something unspeakable, right?"
"Grandma, as I've said, Achun is under the Ministry of War and needed to inspect the barracks along the way, as well as meet with some officials, so some delay was inevitable." Bai Ruozhu explained patiently, to avoid Liu Family making a fuss.
Liu Family was about to speak again when Bo Zheng intervened, "It's also thanks to Officer Jiang having duties that we are able to take advantage of his favor and ride on the official ship. Otherwise, if we took a civilian ship, it wouldn't be nearly as comfortable and would be much slower."
Seeing Bo Zheng speak up, Liu Family had no choice but to stop talking and even offered him a warm smile.
