The day after Yuan Shu was released, people kept coming by to congratulate him and, with a hint of envy and reverence, offered him gifts.
At this point, the only ones who still didn't understand why Yuan Shu was able to get out so cleanly and effortlessly were Sunx Bofu and Yuan Gonglu themselves.
"Yuan Gonglu, you sure are lucky," Grand Tutor Ma Ridi personally came to see Yuan Shu, the two having been quite close in the past. In fact, in history, it was this relationship that caused Yuan Shu to anger Ma Ridi to death.
However, this time there wasn't any of that conflict. Although both sides were unhappy with each other due to past events in Luoyang, after so many ups and downs, both parties clearly held a more relaxed view. Even after Yuan Shu was imprisoned, Ma Ridi did not stop trying to find connections to get him out.
