The captain of the guards was initially a little worried, but he was relieved when he learned that they could all go into the yamen with Su Wan.

No one needed to wear makeup, and Chu Yi didn't change his clothes either, maintaining his businessman's attire. The group walked along the main street towards the county government office.

"Miss Su, let's go to the county government office. There are a few things I need to clarify first," Chu Yi said to Su Wan.

Su Wan asked, "What is it?"

"Firstly, since you've disguised yourself as my servant, don't call me by my name anymore," Chu Yi said. "What kind of servant calls their master by his name?"

Su Wan said with a stern face, "Are you trying to take advantage of me?"

Chu Yi smiled wryly and said, "I was just talking about normal things, okay? Why would I want to gain an advantage through words?"

"I won't speak, I'll pretend to be mute." Su Wan shut her mouth.

Chu Yi said, "Alright, whatever you say. Just don't make a sound from inside."

Su Wan nodded, then held up two fingers and waved them in front of Chu Yi, indicating the second option.

“You won’t even agree to the first one, so what’s the point of the second one?” Chu Yi walked to the front helplessly. “The main gate of the county government is just ahead.”

They arrived at the main gate, where the guards stopped them, asking, "Why are so many people here? Are you here to cause trouble?"

Chu Yi remained silent, took something out of his pocket, and flashed it at the constable.

Upon seeing him, the constable looked Chu Yi up and down, then bowed and said, "I was blind and did not know Your Highness was here. Please come in."

Chu Yi snorted and said, "Are you adults very busy? I only arrived half a day early, and he didn't even come out to greet me personally."

"Our lord didn't expect His Highness to arrive so early. He went to the opera with the local gentry and should be back soon," the constable said with a forced smile. He then looked around and pointed to the street on the left. "Your Highness, please look, that's not our lord's sedan chair."

Su Wan heard the gong and looked in the direction of the sound. A sedan chair carried by four men was approaching the yamen (government office) on the street, with yamen runners clearing the way with gongs and placards. Beside the sedan chair, a brightly dressed middle-aged man walked alongside it, seemingly chatting and laughing with the person inside.

She recognized that person; it was her second uncle, Su Heng.
