Early the next morning, Ning Zhiqui and Yi Xiaoqian went out and saw Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan already waiting in the hall.
Lu Zheng looked refreshed, Liu Qingyan's graceful face radiant, making Yi Xiaoqian purse her lips into a smile, and she pulled Ning Zhiqui to sit aside.
"I was tired yesterday and overslept this morning. I apologize, Brother Lu." Ning Zhiqui cupped his hands in apology.
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Not late at all; we just got up early. After all, it's not courteous to make guests wait. Actually, we also just got up."
That morning, Lu Zheng was still holding Liu Qingyan's warm and soft body while sleeping when she shook him awake, saying they should get up early, so Ning Zhiqui and the others wouldn't wait too long.
"Let's have breakfast first, then I'll take you to the County Government Office," Lu Zheng said, "I'm on good terms with the County Magistrate, County Captain, Chief Clerk, and others, so I can save you some trouble."
