"Little An!"

"What a small saddle!"

"Young Master Marquis has grown so much!"

"He's even more flamboyant than the Marquis!!"

The officials of the central government office immediately surrounded Xu An, some touching his head, some touching his face, and some trying to lift him up as if he were a child.

Xu An, on the other hand, revealed a rare, well-behaved, childlike, innocent smile...

Zhao Cheng was completely dumbfounded!

What's going on here??

Xu An seemed to have returned to her hometown, and she even had a charming and lovable appearance!

"Registrar Jiang!" Du Laihua was also confused and asked, "And who is this?"

Jiang Xuedao said, "My lord, he is Xu An, the son of the Marquis of Qingdong."

Marquis of Qingdong!

Du Laihua's expression changed; upon hearing those three words, he was even more alarmed than when he heard "Right Chancellor."

“Lord Marquis?” Xu An looked at Du Laihua, smiled slightly, and said, “So you are Marquis Yanxi. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Du Laihua clasped his hands in greeting to Xu An and said, "Please give my regards to your father!"

"Definitely, definitely."

"Once today's business is finished, I will certainly treat you to a feast! But for now, I would like to ask Brother Xu to step aside for the time being, as I have official business to attend to."

Xu An laughed and said, "Your official duty is to arrest my brother, I'm afraid I can't back down!"

Du Laihua's smile vanished instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you going to oppose me too?"

Xu An smiled but remained silent.

"I respect the Marquis and have no intention of hurting you... Please have some self-respect!"

Can you hurt me?

Xu An looked towards the garrison outside the courtroom and said, "Uncle Yue!"

Upon hearing this, an officer walked over, scratching his head, and said with a laugh, "You little rascal, I thought you didn't recognize me!"

Xu An laughed and said, "I saw you as soon as I came in. You've beaten me up so many times since we were kids, I'd recognize you even if you turned to ashes!"

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" Officer Yue tapped Xu An on the head and said angrily, "Just like when you were a kid, you're itching for a beating!"

Zhao Cheng was stunned once again.

The officials of the Central Government Office and the garrison officers of Qingdong City all doted on Xu An so much!

"Xu An, you and them..."

I know what you want to ask.

Xu An winked at Zhao Cheng, smiled smugly, and said, "Have you forgotten my father's title?"

"Marquis Qingdong!"

"This Qingdong City is our family's fiefdom!"

Zhao Cheng was completely shocked.

Yes, Marquis Qingdong, Qingdong City...

Why didn't I think of that?

Xu An came to Qingdong City, wasn't he just going back to his hometown?!

This is his home turf!

Xu An looked at Zhao Cheng with confidence and said, "Young Prime Minister, I'm not bragging, but in Yanchuan City I may not be as good as you. However, in Qingdong City, it's hard to say!"

"I grew up here and have lived here for over ten years!"

As if recalling the past, a happy smile appeared on Xu An's face, but it quickly faded.

"It's just a pity..."
