Chapter 152: Dizziness in the Second Watch(2)_1
Following his gaze, County Magistrate Li saw a common horse carriage. After the carriage stopped, a thin and elegant middle-aged man descended from it. Behind the man, a young maiden in a pink jacket and a pendant cloud bun hairstyle followed.
The maiden looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, stunningly beautiful, with delicately arched eyebrows, bright eyes, high and straight nose, and rosy lips. Her skin was as white and dazzling as porcelain, truly a matchless beauty!
He suddenly remembered the woman that Jin Zhi’er mentioned last night, no doubt it must be her. Huo Yuan brought her along when he left the house, which shows his utmost doting on her. But in that case, how should his own daughter act? He became worried and looked towards his son. Just one look and he was instantly infuriated by his son, almost causing him to lose his temper right away.
His worthless son was staring unblinkingly at the maiden in the pink jacket, a lascivious expression in his sly little eyes, even drooling at the mouth.
"Cough, cough..."
He coughed, using his elbow to subtly bump his son in the ribs, reminding him not to lose his composure.
Li Jingui was pulled back into reality by his father’s nudge, quickly withdrew his gaze, and wiped his lip corner with his hand. His palms were wet!
"Haha, it truly brightens our humble space to have Young Master Huo gracing us with your presence, haha. Official Li has neglected his duty in not coming to pick you up. Please forgive me, please..."
County Magistrate Li made small talk, extending his hand in a gesture of invitation, and at the same time, he threw a covert glance at his son.
