It was barely dawn when the officials who had escorted Song Chongjin back took their leave.
Wang Yongzhu, aware of the gravity of the situation, did not detain them any longer. Song Chongjin, who hadn't closed his eyes in days, was finally able to sleep in peace and was still deep in slumber.
Wang Yongzhu expressed his apologies on behalf of him, and the officials took no offense, even comforting her, "We all appreciate the hard work Young Master Song has put in these past days. If it weren't for Young Master Song risking his life to save ours, my master's fate would have been uncertain. Please tell Young Master Song to rest well. Once our superior has settled matters, we will naturally invite Young Master Song and Madam to celebrate with a drink!"
After saying this, they took their leave.
