County Magistrate Tang knew that these two had never endured much hardship since they were young and feared they wouldn't be able to restrain their tempers and might cause trouble. Therefore, he said, "As long as you don't leave Luojiang County, and don't intentionally go before him, he won't be able to do anything to you."
Manbao and Bai Shan pondered, considering what excuse to use for returning, and what they should do after going back.
Mingli brought over a large food box.
It contained not only vegetables and soup but also two plates of snacks.
Seeing County Magistrate Tang watching, Mingli explained, "The madam heard that Young Master Shan and Miss Man had come and asked me to take some extra from the kitchen."
County Magistrate Tang nodded and said to the two, "Eat quickly, after you finish, I'll have Mingli take you back."
Bai Shan refused, "We have Daji."
