"Right Minister of the Ministry of Justice? Isn't that a Standard Fourth Rank position?" Yao Mengxian frowned. Gu Chengyu was previously just a Secondary Fifth Rank, why the sudden and rapid promotion?
This simply doesn't make sense; surely there must be something more that they are unaware of.
Seeing her mistress not expressing wild joy, Qing Dai's smile started to fade from her face.
Lianxin noticed her mistress's furrowed brow and quickly asked, "Mr. Gu's promotion is indeed great news! Are you worried about something, Miss?"
Yao Mengxian shook her head; even telling Lianxin and Qing Dai wouldn't clear their doubts and would unnecessarily worry them.
"Qing Dai! You should go and find out the reasons behind this matter. Lianxin, give Qing Dai two taels of silver; some silver will be needed for inquiries."
Yao Mengxian put down the frame she was holding, shifting her gaze to the still-gleeful Lianxin.
