Dressed as an ordinary merchant, Wu Lanxi did not have elaborate makeup, and her clothes were not particularly flashy.
Upon closer inspection, the heroic spirit revealed in her eyes and the imposing aura surrounding her are truly not something that ordinary people possess.
As Tang Huan looked at Wu Lanxi, Wu Lanxi was also sizing up this mysterious and interesting county magistrate.
Wu Lanxi was very satisfied with Xie Wu's answer.
He did want to recruit Tang Huan to work for him, but before that, he had to carefully examine her.
If Xie Wu exposes their identity, then many things will become difficult.
We can no longer see Tang Huan's true thoughts.
Moreover, she didn't want her disheveled state, which the county magistrate had witnessed, to be exposed so quickly.
That would be too embarrassing.
The Empress naturally valued her reputation.
However, he is now a nobleman in the capital, as Xie Wu described him.
Wu Lanxi's lips curled up involuntarily, revealing a playful expression.
"Now that Tang Huan knows I come from a wealthy merchant family in Beijing, what will he do? Will he still make exorbitant demands and show his greed like he did last time we met?"
The Empress found it quite interesting.

He cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "I only knew you were wealthy merchants from the capital, I didn't know you had this other identity, I'm truly sorry for my rudeness."

Wu Lanxi raised an eyebrow. This kid really isn't afraid of death; he even dares to covet the emperor.
"As the current Empress, her beauty is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary women."
Tang Huan sighed, "It's a pity I didn't have the chance to see it with my own eyes."
Little did they know, what was far away was actually right before their eyes.
"Lord Tang, since you have heard of Her Majesty, do you know that what she dislikes most is officials deceiving their superiors and concealing the truth? The fact that Qihuai County has become like this without a word reaching the capital is a crime of deceiving the emperor."
Wu Lanxi sighed softly, wanting to hear Tang Huan's true thoughts.
To everyone's surprise, Tang Huan snorted, "So what if I, Tang Huan, am deceiving the emperor?"
