QingWu finished writing the "Exorcising Evil" talisman and turned to look at the man standing under the corridor.
"A busy man like you finally found time to show up." She walked over, her tone teasing. Over the past few days, she had barely caught a glimpse of Xiao Chenyuan.
"Here to supervise today?"
Xiao Chenyuan looked at her with her casual, languid expression. Slowly, he coiled the prayer beads back around his wrist, responding as if offhandedly, "The imperial decree demands I recover the embezzled silver within ten days. I have to make it look convincing, don't I?"
The stolen silver had actually been quietly gathered and handed over to Xiao Chenyuan long ago, but over the past few days, more of it kept "turning up" in the homes or businesses of various officials.
Most of these officials were tied to the Crown Prince.
