Once it was decided to close the case, Zhu Cheng began to draft the preliminary closing documents. He planned to have them reviewed by Zhu Zhengfu.
Duan Rong and Zhu Peng could only stand by and watch.
Not until the afternoon did Zhu Cheng finally organize the preliminary closing documents. He stood up, stretching his somewhat stiff back.
Zhu Cheng tucked the documents into his sleeves and called Duan Rong to accompany him to Zhu Zhengfu's residence.
"Don't I need to go?" Zhu Peng asked in surprise.
Zhu Cheng replied, "No, you don't. Wait for us here."
Zhu Peng sat back down grumbling but knew it wasn't Zhu Cheng's decision; it was because Zhu Zhengfu hadn't called for him.
In terms of family ties, Zhu Peng had to call Zhu Zhengfu his Seventh Uncle properly.
However, since childhood, his Seventh Uncle has never thought much of him. During Zhu Peng's years as the Director of the Imperial Secretariat, he didn't gain any advantage, always receiving scoldings.
