Zhou Shuren and Grand Master Xiao emerged from the palace quite late, and on their way back to the Ministry of Revenue, they could see many carriages — these were the officials returning home after their duties.
Arriving at the Ministry of Revenue, Xiao Qing dismounted the carriage and said, "You too should tidy up and head home to rest soon!"
Zhou Shuren clearly understood that they must have secured the silver now; the Grand Master of Writing had regained his confidence, "Yes."
Qiu Yan's expression was still relatively calm. Since things had already been settled, he wouldn't foolishly continue to engage in minor schemes, "Master Zhou has returned."
Zhou Shuren replied with a smile, "Yes, the Grand Master of Writing said that everyone at the Ministry of Revenue can go home and rest today. Mr. Qiu, I will be taking my leave first."
