The trade fair was the liveliest time in Ye County. Qin Su and Mo Lan hid in the crowd, watching the bustling activity. Of course, what interested them most was the eye-catching young master from a prominent family.

Watching them jump around, trying desperately to get Jiang Mian's attention, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and they always managed to cleverly brush past Jiang Mian.

Forget about bumping into Jiang Mian and talking to him, he couldn't even see him. He was incredibly frustrated.

The three of them were, after all, from prominent families, so they couldn't possibly shout at the trade fair; they could only watch from afar, feeling frustrated.

It was only at this point that they realized that trying to talk to Jiang Mian at the trade fair was completely unreliable. Whenever they tried to get closer, a group of people would always appear around Jiang Mian to block their approach.

Seeing Jiang Mian chatting happily in the crowd, the three of them looked at each other in bewilderment.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, the three of them conspired to stage a chance encounter on Jiang Mian's way back home.

As a result, after waiting until midnight, no one from the Jiang family passed by. After inquiring, they learned that Jiang Mian was resting at the government office because of the busy trade fair.

The next day, when they rushed to the government office to meet him again, they found that the prefect had already left.

After being repeatedly rebuffed, even the three of them, no matter how naive, realized that Jiang Mian was deliberately avoiding them and didn't want to see them at all.

As expected, Jiang Mian held a grudge after their unpleasant parting last time.

They originally planned to leave them hanging for a few days.

Now look what happened, they've become the ones being left hanging.

If these few days are wasted, we won't even be able to see anyone, let alone anything else.

Thinking of this, Wang Wenjue couldn't help but look at Song Yu with a hint of mockery. "Brother Song, what do you think we should do next?"

Song Yu had never been treated like this before, but note that it was he who brought it up, and that he had miscalculated. Even if no one else said anything, he still felt embarrassed.

At this moment, he looked embarrassed and annoyed, "I am too ignorant to share Young Master Wang's burdens, I am truly sorry."

"you·······"

Before Wang Wenjue could retaliate, Han Shikuan stopped him, saying, "Gentlemen, things are urgent now, this is not the time for us to fight amongst ourselves. Brother Song meant well, and we agreed to it at the time. Now that things have turned out this way, we are all responsible and cannot shirk our responsibilities. What we need to consider now is how to get close to Jiang Mian and speak with him."

Wang Wenjue glanced at Song Yu, lifted his eyelids, and crossed his arms. "What do you think we should do next, Brother Han? This can't go on like this."

Ultimately, it was Song Yu who ruined things. If he hadn't been so clever as to leave Jiang Mian hanging, this embarrassing situation wouldn't have happened today.

"Brother Song, I'd like to trouble you to use your brain again and come up with a reliable solution." As he spoke, Wang Wenjue grinned smugly. Wasn't he supposed to be self-healing and clever?

Song Yu's face flushed red, and he flicked his sleeve. If he had known this person was so shameless, he would have preferred to act alone rather than let him join him.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Han Shikuan quickly stopped them, saying, "Alright, alright, stop bickering. Solving the current predicament is the priority."

Sigh, he should have known better than to get involved. The Han family wasn't far from here to begin with, which made things difficult for them. If he hadn't run into these two by chance, he wouldn't have even considered it. He thought they were from prestigious families and should be reliable, but they turned out to be even less capable than the advisors he kept in his household. It's really frustrating.
