Chen Song waved his hand. "I was just on my way home to get you. I was passing by and saw the two of you in here, so I rushed over. Hurry and come with me to the government office. A reward has come from the court, specifically for the three of you."
At Chen Song's words, Chen Wanqing's and Zhao Jing's eyes lit up.
When they were in the Prefecture, they had heard Chen Song mention this.
Chen Song had hinted to them that the palace would issue a reward for the matter of the treasure chest. The reward itself was secondary; the real benefit was getting recognized by the palace. That would be a huge advantage for Zhao Jing and De'an.
They had waited and waited, hoped and hoped, and were starting to worry that the reward might never materialize. They never expected it to arrive so coincidentally today.
Chen Wanqing quickly pulled five taels of silver from her purse, turned, and placed it on the counter for Mr. Sun. "This is for the box. Please take it."
