As soon as Lu Hai and his party had departed, a letter from Shen Songming arrived.
"Oh~" Pei Qin, seeing that he finally replied to her letter, opened it, and with just a glance, her face darkened.
"Elder sister! What's wrong?" Pei Qian asked anxiously.
Mo Heng came over to take a look and also furrowed his brow.
"Pei Zongli has donated for an official position," said Pei Qin as she handed the letter to them.
"What do you mean he 'donated for an official position'? He's become an official now!?" Pei Qian said in a shrill voice, grabbing the letter to read it carefully.
Pei Yuan read with a deeply furrowed brow, "This time, it's not because of the Shen family. Which loophole did they exploit to actually secure an official post by donation?"
