Chapter 682 Magistrate Xu's Little Assistant 37
Xu Qingyuan knew she wouldn't refuse.
That day at Shimanlou, both tables were occupied by government officials.
Song Jinhuan, along with the other advisors and Xu Qingyuan, sat at a table and enjoyed a hearty meal.
I slept well that day.
She handed half of the bronze plaque to Xu Qingyuan, which could be considered one of the pieces of evidence pointing to Governor Zhang's crimes.
Meanwhile, Zuo Shiyi, who was escorting the witness back to the capital, encountered countless assassination attempts. The closer they got to the capital, the more skilled the assassins became.
Finally, the imperial guards came to escort the prisoners to the emperor.
The news that Xu Qingyuan would soon return to the capital alarmed the people of Anping County.
Aunt Shi brought a basket of eggs to Song Jinhuan, but Song Jinhuan made all sorts of excuses to refuse.
Aunt Shi asked, "Will Master Jiang leave Anping County with you, sir?"
Song Jinhuan: "Yes."
While feeling reluctant to part with her, Aunt Shi was also happy for her. "Master Jiang cares about the people. The capital is big and has a better future than Anping County. Master Jiang can also help more wronged people."
Song Jinhuan touched his nose, somewhat embarrassed, "I'm just doing my job. Aunt Shi, you should go back now."
Aunt Shi: "Master Jiang, thanks to you, Xiao Cui and I are able to live a peaceful life."
"I have nothing to repay you with, but if you don't mind the simple meals at home, I hope you can come and visit me."
"The old woman's best dish is braised pork, Master Jiang will definitely like it."
Song Jinhuan's ears twitched. Braised pork?
Sha sha~
But she was afraid of being accused of accepting bribes.
Aunt Shi had found out everything; Master Jiang loved to eat it.
Seeing that she was softening, Granny Shi pressed on, saying, "My steamed buns are also exceptional."
"And Mapo Tofu and Fish Head Soup!"
Song Jinhuan swallowed hard. "When?"
"At sunset, I'll have Xiao Cui come and call you."
Fearing that Song Jinhuan might change his mind, Granny Shi put down the eggs and ran away.
At my age, I've never felt so healthy as I do today.
Song Jinhuan looked at the eggs on the ground, shook his head with amusement, and bent down to pick them up and head towards the main hall.
"Sir, these are the eggs left behind by Granny Shi."
Xu Qingyuan glanced at it, "Does Master Jiang like to eat eggs?"
Song Jinhuan nodded, then quickly shook her head, saying it was too much trouble to eat.
She simply chose not to eat it.
"Sir, Aunt Shi has invited me to her home as a guest. May I go?"
Xu Qingyuan looked up and said, "Aunt Shi is doing this to thank you, so just grant her wish."
Song Jinhuan was overjoyed. "Then Yongshu will leave at sunset!"
She had been given permission, so she wasn't afraid if anyone with ulterior motives complained to Xu Qingyuan in the future!
Seeing her overjoyed expression, Xu Qingyuan's heart stirred slightly.
"Wait a minute." He then stood up.
Song Jinhuan looked at him blankly, "What's wrong?"
You're not thinking of backing out, are you?
Xu Qingyuan: "I will accompany you later."
Song Jinhuan blinked. That was fine, but she wondered about Granny Shi's side...
Xu Qingyuan raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face, and said, "What? Can't Aunt Shi thank me?"
He was the one who handled the affairs of Granny Shi's family!
Song Jinhuan's expression hardened. "Of course!"
"However, given your distinguished status, Aunt Shi might not be comfortable with you as a guest."
Xu Qingyuan waved his hand, "It's alright, I've always been approachable."
Song Jinhuan's expression was complicated. Xu Qingyuan's perception of her was really off to an unknown degree!
Xu Qingyuan added, "Let's go to the market together later."
Song Jinhuan asked, puzzled, "What are you going to the market for?"
