Li Nuo woke up the next morning to find that his wife was still not by his side, only a faint, lingering scent remained.
After washing up and having breakfast, he exercised a bit in the yard. Then he took a book from his room and sat down in the yard to read.
After a while, Song Jiaren entered the yard, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Aren't you going to the County Magistrate's Office today?"
Lately, he had gone to the County Magistrate's Office every day, regardless of the weather. Seeing him at home at this time was surprising to her.
Li Nuo put down his book and said, "I'm not going to the County Magistrate's Office for the next couple of days."
Ordinary cases no longer added to his lifespan. Before breaking through his bottleneck, it was better to stay home and read.
At the County Magistrate's Office, Li Nuo had asked them to keep an eye out for him—if any major cases arose, they would come to the Song Residence to notify him.
