Chapter 897 - 875: Very Familiar

Upon hearing this, Madam Tang eyed him suspiciously and scrutinized his complexion. Seeing his rosy cheeks and noting no issues with his voice, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, "If you want me to cover for you, just say so. Why scare me? Where are you planning to go?"
County Magistrate Tang said, "I’m taking a trip to Luojiang County."

County Magistrate Tang hastened to reassure her, "It’s nothing serious, just a case that requires my attention there."
"What kind of case requires secrecy from Governor Ming and everyone else?"
