Anyway, it's still early before 3 AM, so she has plenty of time to spend here.

An hour later, Mo Lan changed her posture, resting one hand behind her head, crossing her legs, squinting at the stars in the sky, and occasionally glancing down at the room.

Instead of sleeping late at night, you're reading books and drinking tea. How can you sleep with a belly full of water?

Aren't you afraid of frequent urination?

"Sigh, I wonder when this guy will go to sleep?"

"I wonder if the view from my rooftop is particularly beautiful?"

As they were speaking, a white figure appeared three feet away.

"Jiang Mian?"

Mo Lan put down her crossed legs and couldn't help but look down at the room. Under the window, apart from a book lying flat, there was no one there.

Hearing that the other person knew his name, Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood.

Since they can sit on their own rooftop, it's not surprising that they know his name.

However, looking at her leisurely demeanor and the tiles that had been lifted beside her, Jiang Mian's eyes twitched. This girl's hobbies were truly unusual.

Strangely enough, although he had only caught a glimpse of him at the teahouse last time, he recognized him at a glance when they met again.

What puzzled him was why this person was on his roof.

"What brings you here so late at night, young lady?"

Hearing Jiang Mian's calm tone, Mo Lan looked at him strangely. She had been caught peeping, but this man wasn't angry at all?

She certainly has the air of a scholar, but even so, her intentions will change.

"They say that when things are unfair, someone will take care of them, and when the road is uneven, someone will smooth it over. I'm just curious because I've heard that the magistrate governs the city well, and the city is safe and sound, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

As Mo Lan spoke, she noticed Jiang Mian raising one eyebrow and continued, "So, I came here specifically to see who this lord really is?"

"Oh? Now that you've seen it, what do you think, young lady?" Jiang Mian raised an eyebrow, a sudden realization dawning on him; he seemed to have already guessed why the other party had come.

"It's not something you can judge by appearances alone, but there's one thing I don't understand and would like to ask in person."

As Mo Lan spoke, she sat up straight and composed herself.

"You should know about the Lion King Escort Agency incident, right? Even if you're a suspect, you shouldn't let the Chen family humiliate you so frequently. In the entire Ye County, who doesn't know the relationship between the County Lord and the Chen family? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by the people for turning a blind eye like this?"

Jiang Mian listened to Mo Lan's righteous arguments and nodded in agreement, "What you say is very true, Miss. The Chen family has indeed overstepped their bounds."

They admitted it readily.

Mo Lan looked at Jiang Mian with a slightly cold gaze, "Since you knew, why didn't you stop them? You should know that no matter what the Chen family did, although the people were angry, in the end they would all blame the magistrate. Indulging your relatives to harm the people is no different from you personally harming the people."

Jiang Mian gave a bitter smile; he knew all too well.

"Currently, Lion King Escort Agency is the prime suspect. To clear their name, some sacrifices will be necessary. I will provide appropriate compensation afterwards."

Just as expected, Mo Lan curled her lips into a smirk. All this commotion was just to lure her into being a big fish.

"Isn't Your Highness afraid of ending up with nothing? Why not have someone take the blame?"

Jiang Mian stared into Mo Lan's eyes, his face calm, but his mind was racing.

He really wanted to say that you were more suspicious than the escort agency, but he swallowed the thought after it crossed his mind.
