Chapter 661 Investigation
Ye Jiu, accompanied by Qin Zhou, returned to the courtyard, and it was not long before the person sent by Prince Jing arrived to pick them up.
When they were brought to the villa, Prince Jing and his entourage had already arrived, which included the County Official from Shuangxi Town and a group of yamen runners behind him.
"The civilian woman pays her respects to Prince Jing." When it was just her and Prince Jing alone, anything went, but with others present, proper etiquette had to be observed to avoid giving the impression of a lack of manners.
Similarly, after meeting Prince Jing, Qin Zhou stood behind Prince Jing, and the County Official along with the yamen runners, knowing that this child was the Princely Heir, could not help but pay their respects.
Ye Jiu had met the County Official before. When the official first took office, he had received commands from the War Prince Residence to take special care of this girl and report any unusual activities at all times.
Now, seeing that Ye Jiu not only knew people from the War Prince Residence but could also connect with Prince Jing, the County Official felt that he had to be even more courteous towards this young lady and the Ye Family behind her in the future.
Moreover, if he could establish some relationships and have this girl speak well of him in front of the people from the War Prince Residence or in front of Prince Jing, even if it did not lead to promotion or wealth, leaving a good impression in front of significant figures would also be beneficial.
However, what Prince Jing did next left the County Official dumbfounded.
Just after Ye Jiu had bowed and before she could straighten up, Prince Jing stepped forward, supporting Ye Jiu’s arm with one hand, "Didn’t I say before, there is no need for excessive formalities when you see me, just act normally."
Ye Jiu had lived in a village since she was young, and her past was no secret, especially since she had become quite well-known in the village due to her physical condition.
The people sent by Prince Jing did not have to make much effort, only making some inquiries and clearly understanding this girl’s life from childhood.
If judging by appearance alone, there was a fifty percent chance that Ye Jiu was his child, then with the results of yesterday’s investigations, that probability was now ninety percent.
