The next morning, County Magistrate Tang picked a few people to go to the countryside with him; Mingli stayed at home waiting for the delivery of a case file. After sending off the case file, Mingli took another letter from a box and went to find Manbao.
At the entrance of the alley, he bumped into Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, who were hurriedly rushing out to go to school.
Mingli was surprised, "Young Master Shan, you're leaving for school so late?"
Bai Shan's anxious expression then eased. He coughed lightly and pretended to be calm as he nodded, "Yes, our home is close to the academy. There's no rush."
However, Bai Erlang in the carriage was almost panicked to death. He lifted the curtain and exclaimed, "You're not in a rush, but I am! We have homework due today, and we have to leave early. The teacher said if we don't behave, we won't be allowed to leave early at noon."
Bai Shan couldn't help but glance at him, while Mingli on the ground struggled to hold back his laughter.
