"Madam, the master has gone out."
In the home of the prefect of Chu City, a beautifully dressed maid respectfully spoke to a woman holding a snow-white cat.
The woman had an ordinary face, but she exuded a tranquil aura that made people feel peaceful and calm when they saw her.
After hearing what the maid said, she paused stroking the cat's hand, then smiled faintly: "There will be guests coming to our house later. Go and prepare and entertain them well."
The maid didn't ask her why she knew that a distinguished guest was coming, and she went downstairs respectfully to make arrangements.
At the inn, the prefect, who had suddenly been given the unpleasant nickname of Ugly Lord, immediately said, "Impossible, it's impossible for someone close to me to harm me."
Wei Fu found it difficult to talk to this adult. The prince asked him questions for a long time, but he didn't say much useful words, and he seemed a little clumsy.
She said worriedly, "Master Ugly, what's wrong with you? My little brother said that becoming a human stake can make you live a hundred years. The people around you don't want to harm you, but there must be people who want you to live a hundred years. If they want you to live a hundred years, they may very likely make you a human stake."
"Take us to your house!"
There's no point in asking, so let them go and take a look!
The prefect didn't know why, but after Wei Fu said this, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
But he had no reason to refuse, and he didn't think there was anyone around him who had this ability.
King Ping had tried so many tricks to live a long life, and harmed so many people, but he failed, didn't he?
Long Xi let go of the prefect of Chucheng. As the prefect of Chucheng just got up from the ground, a curtain fence appeared in front of him. Tingyu stared at the ground and said, "Sir, you'd better take this curtain fence with you!"
Really, not only did the princess feel bad about it, she also found it a bit eye-catching.
I've seen so many good-looking people, so suddenly seeing someone like this... I'm a little uncomfortable.
The prefect of Chu City took it with shame and put it on with tears in his eyes.
He never imagined that he, a man, would one day end up like Dai Muli.
Tingyu also knew that her behavior was a bit excessive, but she couldn't let the princess keep covering her eyes!
Since we can't let the princess down, we can only let the prefect of Chucheng down.
"I'm sorry, sir. Once the princess and her friends have investigated the matter, you can take it when they are not around."
The prefect of Chucheng said awkwardly, "It's because my appearance is too scary."
Wei Fu asked curiously, "Master Ugly, with such a face, aren't your children afraid of you?"
The prefect of Chucheng became more and more embarrassed: "I don't have any children yet."
"Hey...you're not young anymore, why don't you have children?"
The prefect of Chu City is indeed not young anymore. He is already thirty years old. Some people of his age who got married early would become grandfathers. "Maybe it's because we are not destined to have children!"
"There's nothing wrong with my wife and I, but we just can't have children."
He and his wife had agreed that if they still had no children by the time they were forty, they would choose a child from the family to adopt.
While chatting, they arrived at the home of the prefect of Chu City. The prince carried Wei Fu down from the carriage. Tingyu, who was about to help Wei Fu, said: "..."
It's another day when my job is taken away from me.
Wei Fu stood at the door but did not go in immediately. The prefect of Chu City was startled and asked Wei Fu cautiously, "Princess, is there anything wrong with my house?"
The prefect of Chucheng had heard that Wei Fu had visited many homes and discovered problems in many of them. Now, seeing Wei Fu standing motionless at his door, the bad premonition he had at the beginning became even stronger.
Wei Fu did not answer the prefect, but jumped onto the roof. She looked in the direction of the prefect's gate towards the boundary sign and found that the prefect's residence was on the same line as the boundary sign.
There would be two huge stone lions at the gate of other people's mansions, but there were no stone lions at the gate of the prefect's mansion.
It was just as Long Yin said. The man who became a human stake regarded the entire Chu City as his home.
She jumped down from the roof, and the prefect asked nervously again: "Princess, is there anything wrong?"
Wei Fu glanced at the prefect and said, "It's not inappropriate, it's too appropriate."
"Since you took office, Master Chou, have you ever moved the boundary markers of Chu City?"
The prefect of Chucheng thought for a moment and said, "In the second year after I took office, I slightly moved the direction of the boundary marker, but I didn't change its location. But... can't the boundary marker be moved?"
Wei Fu nodded.
"Who asked you to move it?"
"Yes..." The prefect of Chucheng stopped talking abruptly. His face was covered with pustules, making it difficult to see his expression, but his eyes were filled with shock and fear.
Just at that moment, he suddenly thought of a lot of things, and everything made sense in an instant.
"Husband, I heard that a distinguished guest is coming. Why don't you bring the guest in?" At this time, a woman dressed in simple and elegant clothes walked out of the mansion.
It was the prefect’s wife.
Wei Fu looked over in the direction of the sound, but found that the woman's face was blurry in her eyes.
The prefect's wife put on a perfectly polite smile and said, "Princess, it's very rude to stare at someone's face like that."
Wei Fu said: "It's not very polite, mainly because your husband's face is too ugly. I have never looked at him properly, so I can only look at you more."
The prefect's wife frowned slightly, "You are so rude, my princess."
"I learned it from you, madam!"
Wei Fu looked at Tingyu and said, "Sister Tingyu, I am a princess, and my elder brother is the crown prince. If I remember correctly, the prefect's wife should have come to pay her respects when she saw us, instead of standing high up on the steps, thinking she was so powerful and saying that Fu'er was impolite."
The prefect's wife seemed gentle and peaceful, but Wei Fu could still sense the arrogance that emanated from within her.
The smile on the prefect's wife's face froze, and the prefect of Chucheng hurried to smooth things over: "Princess, please forgive me. My wife was not born into a wealthy family and rarely goes out to socialize, so there are many rules that I don't understand. I hope your forgiveness will be given."
"I will apologize to the princess on behalf of my wife."
Wei Fu looked at the prefect of Chucheng with sympathy: "Sir, has anyone ever told you that your eyesight is not very good?"
Although she couldn't see the face of the prefect's wife clearly, she instinctively disliked her.
"Your wife was the first to say I was impolite. I thought she was very polite, but it turns out she is also impolite. She herself is impolite and yet she comes to lecture me, the princess, which makes me very unhappy."
"You can apologize on her behalf, and I can give you a favor, but shouldn't she come and greet me and the Crown Prince? We're all standing on a flat surface, and she's standing alone on the high steps. Is she waiting for us to greet her?"
