Chapter 202: Confirmation with the Governor

Xiao Yongyan laughed in silence. Lin Xi really didn't miss any chance. "Okay, I'll send you a visiting card as Madam Linglong."

The prefectural government.

The servant at the door took the card and said, "Please wait a moment. I will pass the card to my master."

The person standing at the door was hired by Lin Xi and his team to help. As for the two of them, they sat in the distance and observed the situation.

The servant walked in with the visiting card, but halfway through, he ran into the wife of the prefect who was about to go out shopping.

The governor's wife said unhappily, "Why are you so flustered? Can you be more calm?"

The servant quickly apologized, "Madam, I was wrong."

"What's that in your hand?" the prefect's wife asked after taking a look.

The servant quickly handed over the invitation in his hand, "This is an invitation from Madam Linglong, saying that she wants to invite the master to dinner."

The governor's wife's face suddenly turned dark. "What? Madam Linglong, who is this little bitch from? How come I have never heard of her?"

The servant said, "Madam, Madam Linglong is a businessman."

"Doing business? A woman should do business, why ask a man to do it? You are an official, don't have any dealings with these businessmen, reject it!"

The servant dared not disobey, and immediately said, "Yes, madam, I will go back with the person."

"Tell me, don't let me see it again, or I'll smash her shop!" the prefect's wife said viciously.

The servant complained in his heart that Madam Linglong didn't seem to have a shop and all her business was in the mountains.

But he didn't dare to say this out loud, and quickly ran back to the door and said to the man, "My wife said that I must send invitations from now on."

Any more words were obviously just what the lady said in anger, so there was no need to convey them.

What if the other party gets unhappy and beats you up? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

The man took the returned invitation and relayed the servant's words.

Lin Xi couldn't help but be speechless, "I really didn't expect the governor's wife to be so angry."

Xiao Yongyan was also helpless, "It's really a bad timing."

"How about we just wait here for the governor to come out?" Lin Xi said.

"I heard that the prefect's leg disease has recurred recently and he can't come out for a while." Xiao Yongyan said.

"However, you can ask him to come out using Mr. Shuer's identity." Lin Xi said, "But if you do this, your identity will be exposed. Will it have any impact in the future?"

Xiao Yongyan chuckled, "What impact can it have? This is not something shameful. Just follow what Madam said and I will draft it."

He borrowed the shopkeeper's pen and ink and wrote a new invitation.

Having learned from the last lesson, Xiao Yongyan went to deliver the invitations alone this time.

The servant at the door saw that someone had come to deliver invitations again, and wondered why he was so unlucky today as to have encountered this again.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is your master a man or a woman?"

Xiao Yongyan said frankly, "A man."

The servant heaved a sigh of relief, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and tell you."

This time the governor's wife was not at home, so the servant's communication went very smoothly.

When the prefect saw the invitation, he felt a little strange. He had never met Mr. Shuer before, so why did he suddenly find him?

However, he really admired Mr. Shuer's talent and thought it would be a good idea to meet him.

Zuixianlou.

Following the instructions on the invitation, the governor found Room No. 1, where two people were already waiting.

He pushed the door open, and when he saw the two people inside, he was stunned.

"Why you?"

Seeing him so surprised, Xiao Yongyan joked, "Why, it seems that the master doesn't want to see us."

"It's just a little surprising. I clearly..." The governor slapped his head, "I see. You came to see me under the name of Mr. Shu Er."

Lin Xi, Xiao Yongyan: "..."

Well, since the governor thinks so, they won’t explain.

"Tell me what you want from me," said the governor.

Seeing that all the dishes were on the table, Xiao Yongyan closed the door and said, "Sir, we encountered something in the county a few days ago..."

He repeated to the governor the story of how he rescued the girl.

The prefect was a little confused at first and didn't understand why Xiao Yongyan specifically mentioned this matter, but as he listened more and more, he felt more and more familiar with it.

Judging from all the indications, the girl Xiao Yongyan and his team rescued was most likely his daughter.

"Where is the girl now?" the prefect asked hurriedly.

"We don't know her background at Lord Hang's place. She just said that she came from far away. Instead of staying with us, it's better to let Lord Hang investigate." Xiao Yongyan said lightly.

The governor was about to fly into a rage when he heard this, "Hang Qi is a piece of shit, how could you hand me...that girl over to him!"

After saying this, the prefect became more and more anxious and wanted to run away, but his leg disease flared up and he felt a sharp pain as soon as he stood up, preventing him from moving forward.

Lin Xi advised, "Sir, if you want to rescue that girl, just ask Hang Qi to bring people here and say that someone here is looking for your daughter."

The governor nodded. "I was so anxious that I lost my mind. What you said makes sense. I'll just ask him to come over directly."

After learning of his daughter's whereabouts, the prefect acted quickly and wrote a letter that day, asking Hang Qi to bring the person over.

When Hang Qi received the letter from the prefect, he was confused and didn't understand how the prefect knew that a girl had come here.

But after spending these few days together, Hang Qi felt that Wang Yilu was innocent, lively, and simple-minded.

No matter how you look at it, she's a good candidate for being a daughter-in-law. Thinking that there's a high probability that he'll meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law this time, he went out to buy himself a new set of clothes.

The lawyer was watching from the side, confused. He thought, is it necessary to buy new clothes just to meet the prefect?

But he had no way to take care of Hang Qi's affairs. He could only follow behind and do his work.

Wang Yilu saw Hang Qi was preparing something and asked curiously, "What are you busy with?"

"It seems your family has received news about you and will come to pick you up soon." Hang Qi said.

Wang Yilu's heart skipped a beat. "Really?"

"Of course it's true. They have arrived in Xucheng and you will see them soon." Hang Qi said happily.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yilu didn't look happy at all. "I don't want to see them. I'm fine here. Didn't you say you would find the rest of the Langya Bang for me?"

Although Hang Qi wanted to develop a relationship with Wang Yilu, that couldn't delay such an important event as meeting his parents.

"All your family members are here, don't you want to see them?" Hang Qi asked.

Wang Yilu was very angry and unhappy.

Hang Qi understood that this was because he was angry with his family.

"None of them cares about me." said Wang Yilu.

Hang Qi hurried to comfort him, "How could they not care about you? Look, they have already arrived in Xucheng."

Wang Yilu murmured in her heart, she had already been in Xucheng and hadn’t even left the house, so what did it mean?

"You go if you want to go, I'm not going anyway."
