Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Having Fun Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Having Fun “Will they believe your unilateral words?” Xuexue turned her head, looking at him skeptically, her face full of disbelief. Government officials, could they be so easily deceived?
“At first, The Prefect indeed did not believe me and insisted on sending a government officer to Mo Family Village to capture you. However, later, The Prefect received someone unknown, and after returning, his attitude completely changed. He said he believed you were innocent and even mentioned he wouldn’t dare disturb you!”
As Shopkeeper Fan spoke, he scrutinized Xuexue, “Miss Mo, could it be that you know some notable figure, even The Prefect is wary of?”
“I’m just a humble village girl who has never left Jingshan Town. How could I know any notable figure?”
“Indeed!”
Shopkeeper Fan nodded. Xuexue, being young, indeed did not look like someone who would know important figures. Puzzled, he shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it, “For us common folk, as long as we are unharmed, that’s enough. Why bother about the reason, right, Miss Mo?”
“Exactly, safety is a blessing!”
Xuexue smiled as well, but inside, she wondered who had helped her. In her past life, at this time, no one in the Capital even knew she existed.
“Miss Mo, now that the threat from Housekeeper Zhang has been eliminated, could you reconsider our collaboration?” Shopkeeper Fan brought up the old topic again, truly feeling that Xuexue was the lucky star of his restaurant and wanting to continue their cooperation.
“It truly wasn’t about Housekeeper Zhang; I simply don’t have the goods. If Shopkeeper Fan is sincere, we can collaborate another time.”
Disappointed, Shopkeeper Fan had no choice but to accept reality, “Alright, our Xiaohe Restaurant will always welcome Miss Mo.”
After leaving Xiaohe Restaurant, Big Bull and Xuexue strolled around the street, purchasing some miscellaneous items.
With the old residence being renovated in a couple of days and having to offer meals to the workers, they then visited the meat stall and bought dozens of pounds of pork. Xuexue asked the Pork Seller to bind the pork with straw ropes, then had Big Bull carry it in his hands for convenience and to avoid staining their clothes.
From a hidden spot, Long Yi and several Hidden Guards were dumbfounded. My goodness! Was this lackey-like person truly the Ghost King who made the enemies of Moli Country tremble with fear? Unexpectedly, there was someone in this world daring enough to order him around; what a scoop, definitely big news for Moli Country this year.
“Who would’ve thought the Master also fears his wife?” One Hidden Guard couldn’t help murmuring.
“You’re courting death! Dare to mock the Master and he might just send you to guard the Frontier and have you eat sand every day,” Long Yi threatened him deliberately.
“Your subordinate dares not, I deserve to die.”
The Hidden Guard trembled. The Frontier was no place for people; not only was it far from home, but it was also said to have relentless sandstorms, blinding one’s eyes, filling one’s mouth with sand at a mere opening. Just the thought was terrifying.
“Pfft! Fool, I was joking. How would the Master know if I don’t tell?”
“Boss, you…!”
