章 1024: Chapter 1022: How is Sijin?

"Emperor, there are only so few matters in the Imperial Academy, and this humble official has finished seven days' worth of public affairs in a single day, which has indeed put me in a difficult position."

"In that case, I shall reward you with a spanking, and you can rest for six days before returning to work at the Imperial Academy."

"No, Emperor! As an ever-enlightened sovereign, punishing a minor seventh-rank official for no reason would tarnish your dignity. Besides, early this morning, I saw Miss Su Yingxue from the Marquis's Manor and her eldest sister heading to the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion. If you go to the Marquis's Manor now, at most you'd only meet Old General Su. Why not grace me with your presence for tea? By the time we have finished our tea, Miss Su should have returned."

Zhuo Junli had calculated everything with his words.

Chu Yihan had come to see Su Yingxue, but she was not at home.
