Manbao opened her lunchbox, took out her dishes and arranged them, then picked up chopsticks and stared at Bai Shan, Bai Erlang, and others, saying after a while, "I was wondering why your faces are all so red; turns out it's the sun. You're done for; you'll definitely be even darker tomorrow."
Bai Shan felt he couldn't swallow his food, and asked, "Can't you comfort us a little?"
"Who's going to comfort me," Manbao said, "I've been impeached too. You guys are better off, twenty-nine of you were impeached, and counting the Crown Prince, that's thirty. The main focus is on the Crown Prince taking the hit for you. I've only one, and I still have to write my own rebuttal."
Upon hearing this, Bai Shan immediately looked up and asked, "You've been impeached too? Were you punished?"
"No, just got scolded a bit. Director Xiao said I just need to sincerely admit my mistake on the report, humph, we're officials, who hasn't been late before? They can't really do anything to me."
