Fu Shinian was not the kind of person who would demand that he put aside important business.
However, Fu Shinian would still watch to see how late Xiao Chengyu stayed busy.
By the second quarter of the Hour of the Boar, hearing from Shaoyao that Xiao Chengyu was still working, Fu Shinian muttered to himself, "If you don't keep a close watch, the marquis might just work straight through till dawn."
"You can't blame the marquis; his official duties are simply too numerous and must be completed by today," Shaoyao said.
"How is the marquis's spirit?" Fu Shinian asked.
"Because he has been sleeping on time the past few days, his spirit is quite nourished. But also due to his improved habits, he cannot quite endure staying up late now. Earlier, he even asked me to burn some awakening incense," Shaoyao said.
"Did the marquis mention how much longer he needs to be busy?" Fu Shinian inquired.
