Chapter 331 - 195: You can no longer be together! I am very grateful to you! (Requesting votes)_4
While Han Mei was slowly contemplating to herself, the Prison Director spoke again:
"Alright, you will depart for Xufu Town again and express our gratitude from Great Tang Prison. As for the construction time of Great Tang Prison itself, we will schedule it for next month."
Next month?! Is there really such urgency?
Han Ming, on one hand, complied with the old man’s request and on the other hand, was quite surprised. Is there really such urgency for the construction of Great Tang Prison? Could Xufu Town already have such potential? Otherwise, how could a massive entity like Great Tang Prison react so swiftly?
Not daring to ask more, Han Ming could only nod in accordance and reply, "Yes, I will go at once and handle the matters to your satisfaction."
"Hmm, being an indispensable member of Great Tang Prison, we naturally trust you to handle these matters properly. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have placed such important matters on you." The Prison Director added.
For Han Ming, this instantly warmed her heart.
"Am I really an indispensable member of Great Tang Prison? I feel the same! But hearing these words from his mouth is so touching."
When Han Ming had just returned, she felt a bit exhausted. After all, she had been rushing violently for a long time and consumed a lot of elixirs on the way.
The elixirs weren’t distributed by Great Tang Prison but were bought by herself. So, she used her own elixirs to handle matters for Great Tang Prison, just to get things done beautifully!
But now, hearing the Prison Director’s words of gratitude made her deeply moved, suddenly considering her expenditure on these elixirs trivial and more resolutely standing by Great Tang Prison’s side.
Feeling Han Ming’s sense of emotion, the old man earnestly said, "As for Yuchi, Yuchi is really a good young man. If you could tie the knot with him, it might be the best outcome for you."
Han Mei was suddenly a bit stunned. Did these words really come from the Prison Director’s mouth? Not considering her own feelings for Yuchi, the elderly man probably hasn’t even seen what kind of person Yuchi truly is, so how can he utter such rightful sentiments?
Could it be that she really doesn’t understand Yuchi? Does he possibly have any extraordinary talents?
"I understand!"
Han Ming, Han Mei, looked at the old man and heavily nodded her head.
"Hmm, go ahead, be careful on the road, and visit the Medicine Workshop to take some elixirs with you. Also, bring some gifts for Yuchi as a sincere expression of gratitude from Great Tang Prison."
"Yes!"
Watching as Han Ming left, the old man couldn’t hold back a hint of pride, picking up a wine pot and pouring wine directly into his mouth, his red nose starting to flare up again.
...
In the Jiangzhou City official residence, Yuchi chatted with the City Lord, laughing heartily about some family matters, akin to two brothers who hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
"Previously, thank you, City Lord. If you hadn’t come to Xufu Town specifically, many things wouldn’t have been so easily accomplished." Yuchi said cheerfully, pouring tea for the other.
No need, no need, the City Lord held the teacup with both hands, smilingly accepting Yuchi’s tea, and said with a grin:
"These matters are trivial. Since the chamber is standing by the people, we will certainly stand firmly behind the chamber. Helping the chamber is helping the people, and helping the people is helping us. Why wouldn’t we lend a hand?"
"You’re being too kind, Yuchi," the City Lord said with a chuckle.
"Haha, that’s my fault as Yuchi! Yes! As the City Lord said, our chamber definitely stands by the people, and you, City Lord, also stand by the people. Since we share the same ideas, how could we not come together?" Yuchi’s smile shone brightly like a little white flower.
Xun Xian sat blankly on the chair beside him, with vacant eyes staring at the beams of the council hall, showing a look of "you two can just keep flattering each other; if I take any of this seriously, it’s my loss."
She admired Yuchi even more at this point. Clearly, their chamber had strong ties with Great Tang Prison, yet he still came to the City Lord to chat over tea.
Such a good attitude.
The two were in a sweet moment, complimenting each other in a mutual admiration society.
They chatted for nearly half an hour about trivial matters, finally hearing Yuchi clasp his hands and say with a smile:
"It is City Lord’s praise. If it weren’t for your help, we couldn’t possibly have reached where we are today, nor have such a close relationship with Great Tang Prison!"
The City Lord’s face was full of smiles, genuinely feeling deeply satisfied. Just like Xun Xian thought, given Yuchi’s current status, he really doesn’t need to come over to chat, pour tea, or converse about trivial matters.
