Chapter 204 Banquet

Hang Qi didn't know exactly what happened, but as long as Wang Yilu could come out, it would be a good thing for him.

When Wang Yilu saw Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan, there was something inexplicable in her expression. She looked at Hang Qi and said, "You said you brought me to Xucheng because my parents were looking for me, but they are not my parents."

Hang Qi said quickly, "Miss Wang, of course I know these two are not your parents, no matter their age or other aspects, but when I came in, these two were sitting inside, and I don't know what's going on."

Wang Yilu looked at the two of them with a rather unfamiliar look.

Lin Xi said unhappily, "Miss, when you were kidnapped, it was me and my husband who saved you."

Wang Yilu herself didn’t know about this because she had fainted at that time.

But now thinking back, she seemed to have seen these two people before.

"So it's you two." Wang Yilu murmured.

However, Hang Qi was afraid that she would remember something, so he quickly interrupted her, "It's not important, I'm just wondering why your family hasn't shown up yet."

"Didn't I say he has something to do and will be at the party soon? Why is Lord Hang so anxious today?" Lin Xi really felt it was a bit strange. Looking at Hang Qi's outfit today, Lin Xi suddenly said, "As the saying goes, people need clothes and Buddhas need gold ornaments. Today, it seems that Lord Hang has never worn such good clothes on weekdays."

Hang Qi was a little unhappy when Lin Xi called him out so bluntly. His little thoughts seemed a little dirty once they were spoken out.

"Lin Xi, when you have time, you should focus on your own business and pay less attention to my clothes." Hang Qi said.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Master Hang, don't be angry. I just said it casually."

After saying that, Lin Xi looked at Wang Yilu, frowned slightly and said, "Miss, you are a girl, it is better to keep some distance from Lord Hang."

Lin Xi guessed that Hang Qi had probably spent a lot of time and effort on Wang Yilu during this period, and now Wang Yilu's body language subconsciously leaned towards Hang Qi.

After all, Wang Yilu was still a little girl, and she had been spoiled since she was a child. When she heard Lin Xi say that, she immediately became annoyed, "Don't meddle in my business!"

Lin Xi shut up obediently.

But when the governor in the next room heard this, he could no longer sit still. His daughter's mind had become wild after such a trip.

While a few people were chatting, the prefect walked in from outside the door with confidence.

The moment he entered the room, the sound of chatting inside stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at the prefect at the door. Wang Yilu was so shocked that she almost jumped up from her chair. She looked around but did not dare to look into the prefect's eyes.

Hang Qi couldn't understand why the prefect suddenly appeared, and finally could only guess that Wang Yilu's parents had asked the prefect for help.

The governor sat down and said to the others, "Sit down, don't just stand there like an idiot."

At the prefect's request, everyone sat down, but no one dared to pick up the chopsticks.

The governor looked at Hang Qi and said, "I heard from Lin Xi that you took in a girl."

Hang Qi nodded quickly and pointed at Wang Yilu beside him and said, "Yes, sir, it is this Miss Wang. She was kidnapped at the time and has been living in the county government office since she was rescued. This time, I heard that her parents have come to Xucheng, so I brought people here to look for her relatives."

"Kidnapped?" The governor's voice was colder than ever before. "Have you investigated the specific people?"

Hang Qi said, "Your Excellency, the suspect's portrait has been posted everywhere in the county. I believe that he will be arrested soon."

The prefect nodded but said nothing.

Xiao Yongyan was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so he looked at Hang Qi and said, "Lord Hang, I'm afraid you didn't come here just to send someone back. I just saw a lot of gifts behind your carriage, I don't know what they are for."

How could Hang Qi reveal his thoughts in front of these people?

Lin Xi could naturally think of this. She continued Xiao Yongyan's words and said, "The governor is quite familiar with Miss Wang's parents. If Lord Hang has anything to say, it's the same to tell the governor."

Although Hang Qi was usually very smart, he started to get confused for some reason at this moment. After hearing what Lin Xi said and seeing that the governor did not deny it, he began to get cautious.

Although the governor felt that Lin Xi's words sounded a little awkward, he still followed the conversation and said, "Do you have any other purpose for coming here this time?"

Hang Qi didn't dare to speak.

"If not, just hand the person over to me. You have a lot of things to do in the county, so go back early." said the prefect.

When Hang Qi heard this, he thought this was impossible. He hadn't even met Wang Yilu's parents, so he couldn't just go back home like that.

"Wang Yilu, come back with me." The prefect looked at Wang Yilu with a stern look.

However, Wang Yilu acted as if she didn't see anything and completely ignored the other person.

When Hang Qi saw Wang Yilu's appearance, he became even more convinced that the prefect must have a very good relationship with Wang Yilu's parents, otherwise this would not have happened.

"Why didn't you respond at all when your elders were talking to you!" The prefect was a little annoyed and scolded Wang Yilu.

Wang Yilu was a little scared now, thinking that she had really made her father angry, so she stood up and stood behind the governor.

When Hang Qi saw this scene, he suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. If he didn't say it now, he was afraid he would have no chance later.

"Sir, I have something else to say." Hang Qi said.

Lin Xi's heart moved. Here it comes, here it comes, this is a death-seeking thing that cannot be stopped.

The prefect looked at Hang Qi quietly.

"These days, Miss Wang has been living in the county government office. I deeply feel that Miss Wang is beautiful and intelligent, and her talent and temperament are far superior to ordinary women, so I want to..."

When Hang Qi said this, the governor had already guessed the second half of his sentence, and his face turned dark instantly.

Hang Qi naturally noticed that the governor looked unhappy, but he couldn't figure out why he was like that, so he said, "I want to ask Miss Wang's parents for help. Please introduce me to her."

The governor's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and Wang Yilu looked very frightened.

"Master Hang, why do you suddenly say such things?" Wang Yilu took several steps back in an instant. Hang Qi's confession was completely beyond her expectations.

"Sir, I am sincere to Miss Wang. Please help me introduce her to you." Hang Qi said.

"Hang Qi," the governor said, each word coming out from between his teeth, "Others may not know your thoughts, but don't think I can't see them!"

A poor scholar had all these opportunistic things in his mind. He thought he was a fool. It was obvious that this man was attracted by the resources behind his daughter, not that he really liked her.

"I really want to beat you to death!" The prefect pretended to hit someone.

Although his movements were hampered by his leg disease, his murderous look was indeed terrifying.

"Dad, don't do this." In a hurry, Wang Yilu didn't care about anything else and stood in front of Hang Qi.
