Minister Shen's expression turned solemn.
"Lord Marquis, you are too polite.
"It's fine if I didn't know about this before. Now that I know, I can't sit by idly. This is also my duty."
"Minister Shen is righteous indeed!" Qin Xiaoyao cupped her hands again.
Minister Shen smiled and gestured for Qin Xiaoyao to sit down.
Soon, he started to talk about other topics with Qin Xiaoyao.
Then, they began talking about Song Rui.
"I've already bought my residence and will move there in a few days.
"At that point, if Lord Marquis is free, you are welcome to come and visit us," Song Rui said with a smile as he extended an invitation to Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Song Rui and then at Minister Shen, who was smiling brightly.
"Is… is that okay?" Then, she looked at Song Rui with some interest.
Previously, she had expressed that she did not have many close friends in the Imperial Court.
