Liu Miaoying accompanied her into the main hall. Along the way, they encountered many colleagues. She whispered, "I heard that the Ministry of Justice's investigation in Xu State has not progressed. Surely someone will bring it up today."

Minister Mo Youqian teased, "Xiao Su, you are the youngest Sixth Ministry Vice Minister I have ever seen."
