Jiang Qingyi returned to the National Preceptor's Mansion.
Just as she entered the courtyard, Jiang Qingyi spotted two brocade boxes on the stone table.
"Someone, attend me," Jiang Qingyi called toward the entrance.
"Lord State Preceptor."
A Maid quickly emerged, bowing respectfully to Jiang Qingyi.
"Who sent these two gift boxes?" Jiang Qingyi asked.
"Reporting to the Lord State Preceptor,"
the Maid replied.
"These two gift boxes were sent by Lady Xue of Ningxue Hall and Lady Mu of Hanjiu Hall."
"The two ladies also asked me to pass on a message. They said that they have seen what the Lord State Preceptor has done for His Majesty, and these two items are meant as compensation for you."
"They also said that they can refine that Elixir themselves in the future, so there will be no need to trouble the Lord State Preceptor anymore."
Hearing the Maid's reply, Jiang Qingyi's brow furrowed. Finally, she waved a hand. "I understand. You may leave."
"Yes, Lord State Preceptor."
