Wufu saw Wen Congrui with ease, and she explained her intention. Of course, she wasn't asking for leniency or anything, just inquiring about the outcome for those involved in the case.
"Zhou Xuennian has confessed to his crimes, and by law, all his honors have been stripped, and he is barred for life from taking the civil service examinations. He can be released," said Wen Congrui.
Wufu rose to her feet and performed a courtesy: "In that case, may I come to take him home tomorrow?"
Wen Congrui nodded.
Wufu smiled, saying, "Actually, this was all set in stone already, wasn't it? Whether I came or not, this would have been the conclusion."
"You could say that, it's just a matter of being released sooner or later," Wen Congrui thought for a moment and then added, "If you wanted to preserve his honors..."
"No, this is very good! There are state laws after all!" Wufu quickly interrupted him.
