Chapter 85 "My relationship with the princess is completely innocent..."
In an instant, just as a bead of cold sweat trickled down Liu Jiao's forehead, and she had already planned out her sliding kneeling motion—
Sang Ji calmly looked away without lingering, as if she were an insignificant stranger.
He...didn't recognize her?
Liu Jiao was amused.
It seems she's quite good at disguising herself!
Sang Ji's subordinate beckoned, and Liu Jiao walked over silently with her chest hunched and back hunched.
At this moment, there was another person by Sang Ji's side. When Liu Jiao heard this person flattering Sang Ji, she realized that this person was the local county magistrate, who had recognized Sang Ji on the way.
She listened silently as her subordinates ordered the food, and the conversation between the county magistrate and Sang Ji also reached her ears.
It's nothing but flattery, nothing serious.
After her subordinates finished ordering, Liu Jiao, who had been largely ignored, remarked that she was blessed by heaven and was about to leave—
Why are you so stingy?
Sang Ji, who had been listless and silent, suddenly spoke up.
He struck up a conversation with her, this unassuming waitress.
Oh, I wasn't trying to strike up a conversation.
Liu Jiao felt like she was being picky.
Why do you care whether someone is generous or not? As long as they do their job properly, that's enough. You're just indulging in lecturing.
Haha, officialdom; haha, men.
Liu Jiao had no choice but to laugh back, her voice low and hoarse:
"Your Excellency, I am naturally timid."
Sang Ji uttered an unpleasant remark: "His voice sounds like a male duck's."
When did you become so good at finding fault? Didn't you say you didn't care about anyone except the princess? Did you ignore everything?
My heart was churning.
Liu Jiao remained expressionless: "The younger one is still developing, in adolescence."
Sang Ji ruthlessly exposed her fake smile: "I'm afraid of someone who says one thing to your face and another behind your back, flattering you now while secretly thinking something else."
Liu Jiao swiftly knelt down:
"I am utterly loyal and have the utmost respect for you!"
Sang Ji didn't say anything more.
Upon hearing the news, Sister Zhou quickly nudged Liu Jiao, urging her to leave immediately.
Sang Ji was sitting near the kitchen where Liu Jiao was temporarily hiding, and Liu Jiao could hear their conversation clearly.
The magistrate flattered:
"I've long heard of the deep affection between Lord Sang and the Princess. You've come to the county this time for our fragrant flower ointment, which is known for its far-reaching aroma! I've already prepared it..."
“No.” Sang Ji, who had been ignoring the magistrate, suddenly spoke up, coldly interrupting him, “My relationship with the princess is completely innocent, and I have never overstepped any boundaries.”
The magistrate was taken aback, then immediately slapped his lips.
"Look at how senile I am, oh dear..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jiao, who works in the kitchen, was also momentarily stunned.
What? They're not together?
