Manbao got into the carriage that came to pick her up, took the hand warmer that Bai Shan casually handed over, and let out a long breath.
Bai Shan also had one in his hand, hugging it to his chest, he looked at Manbao curiously, "I heard that you and Minister Liu were fined a month's salary for negligence in duties? You would be negligent?"
Minister Liu wouldn't be either, he was known for being diligent.
Manbao felt a bit guilty and asked in a low voice, "How did you find out, do many people know?"
Bai Shan could tell that it was true at a glance, so he said, "Well... not that many," he said with some uncertainty, "When the Ministry of Personnel was sending a list over to the Ministry of Revenue, it passed by our Hanlin Academy and someone asked about it, so we found out."
Manbao: "... Your Hanlin Academy is behind the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue is right next to the Ministry of Personnel, why would they detour to your Hanlin Academy just to deliver a list?"
