After hearing this, Shen Huaixu looked at him straight in the eye, "What is Master Qiu so concerned about?"
The shopkeeper spoke vaguely, and the more Shen Huaixu listened, the deeper his smile grew. Finally, he glanced at him lazily, "This county lady will be leaving Jixian tomorrow. When was this invitation sent?"
The shopkeeper hesitated: "This——"
"Go and invite County Magistrate Qiu. Do you want me to wait until he is free?" She said in a delicate voice, acting like a spoiled noble lady.
Xiaoman agreed and went out.
"You guys go down too. Don't disturb my peace if you have nothing to do."
After the shopkeeper and his employees expressed their gratitude, they left in a hurry.
Not long after, a waiter brought a lot of delicious food. Frost accepted it and told them not to bring any more and then closed the door.
Downstairs, the shopkeeper was still a little uneasy. He was called to the county government office early in the morning. After closing the door, the county magistrate asked him a lot of questions about what happened after this group of people checked into his inn.
He told her everything in detail, but was told that the group of people was Princess Mingyi and her subordinates.

As an innkeeper, he naturally knew a lot. The Lady of Mingyi County and the newly appointed magistrate of Ji County were like brother and sister, so he immediately sold out the magistrate.
Why should a small fish like him be implicated in the affairs between big men? I hope the county magistrate will know about this and consider his good deeds.
The shopkeeper was worried, and Xiaoman and two others had already brought County Magistrate Qiu to Shen Huaixu.
Chen Huaixu smiled as he looked at County Magistrate Qiu, who was kneeling on the ground. "Master Qiu, I haven't seen you for two days. How are you? I guess you are a noble man with a lot on your plate. You forgot that I was only staying in Ji County for three days, so I asked my men to invite you here. Do you mind, Master?"
