Attached to the letter were the tea and mountain products that Jingli wanted.

Qin Zhao and Jing Li visited the prefect two days before his birthday, bringing gifts.

The prefect's family lived in the south of the city. Compared to the wealthy families in the city, the prefect's residence was obviously much more low-key. If you didn't tell them, most people would think that the person living here was just an ordinary citizen.

All of them demonstrate the integrity of this prefect.

Qin Zhao explained his purpose and was invited in by the servants of the mansion.

"Mr. Qin is thoughtful."

After the case of Mr. Chang was solved, the prefect's slight dissatisfaction with Qin Zhao had long since vanished. After seeing the gift Qin Zhao had sent, he felt a lot more favorable towards Qin Zhao.

He invited Qin Zhao and Jing Li to have tea and chat in the main hall. Jing Li could hardly say anything and just sat beside them, holding the little fish and eating snacks.

The prefect glanced at Jing Li, intentionally or not, and sighed, "Everyone in this city knows that Mr. Qin loves his wife dearly. They say that Mrs. Qin has accumulated countless blessings over the course of several lifetimes. In my opinion, the two of you are a match made in heaven."

Qin Zhao: "Your Excellency, you are so complimentary."

The prefect stroked his beard and said half-jokingly, "It's a pity that I only have one little daughter, and she's still very young. Otherwise, I would really like to marry Mr. Qin."

Jing Li's smile froze on his face: "..."

When will these people stop plotting against his Qin Zhao?

Jing Li glanced at Qin Zhao, who cleared his throat and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I don't have any..."

Before he could finish his words, a servant suddenly came in and reported: "Sir, the young master heard that there were guests at home, so he made some cakes to entertain the distinguished guests."

Young Master?

Jing Li frowned, but heard the prefect explain: "That's my nephew, he just came to the prefectural city to stay for a while."

He paused, then added, "Her name is Shuang'er."

Jing Li finally understood.

The feelings were already prepared.

"Let him in," the prefect ordered.

The servant retreated, and soon a young boy in elegant clothes came up with two servants.

The servant was holding a plate of steaming hot pastries. Before Jing Li could react, the little fish in his arms cried out, "Wow!" Jing Li looked over and saw the pastries on the plate were soft, white, and delicately shaped like little bunnies. They were lifelike, lively, and adorable.

Looking at the young boy again, he walked to the front slowly and bowed to the prefect: "Uncle, my nephew is here."

"Qingzi, you've arrived just in time." The prefect beamed and pointed at Qin Zhao, saying, "This is the little Sanyuan Qin Zhao you asked about earlier. Go meet Mr. Qin."

"Yes." The young man responded, turned around, and was stunned when he saw Jing Li.

Jing Li was also stunned.

Isn’t this the young man named A Zi that he met in the teahouse?

After that chance encounter, Jing Li was obsessed with explaining the truth to the young man, and would go to the teahouse from time to time to look for him. But for several days, the young man never showed up again.

Although it was only a brief encounter that day, Jing Li actually had a fondness for this straightforward and simple boy. He really wanted to tell him the truth and make friends with him.

He didn't expect that the young man would be the prefect's nephew.

They never expected that they would meet again in such a situation.

The young man was the first to react. He lowered his eyes and bowed to the two of them as if nothing had happened. "My name is Yue Qingzi, nice to meet you two."

Her posture was elegant and natural, completely different from the one Jing Li met in the teahouse that day.

Jing Li felt a little guilty.

He and Qin Zhao appeared here together, so his identity was self-evident. Since the young man admired Qin Zhao so much, would he think that he was deliberately deceiving him and be angry with him?

Jing Li wanted to explain, but at this moment, the boy suddenly raised his head and looked at Jing Li.

He secretly winked at Jing Li from an angle where the prefect couldn't see.
