Chapter 200 - 199: A Gift of Earthware to the Duke’s Mansion
Lian Gui and those from Anshun’s Household hadn’t yet explained themselves when a servant who had come along reported, "The County Magistrate of Qingyuan County, Lord Jiang Yifan, has arrived."
Lian Gui and the person from Anshun’s Household exchanged a glance, finding the news about Jiang Yifan a bit too informed. They had only entered the county town that afternoon, and here he was already.
Everyone from Duke An’s Mansion knew how indifferent and weary Jiang Yifan, once a son-in-law of Duke An’s Mansion, had been towards their eldest miss and how helpless he had been about his identity as Duke An’s Mansion’s son-in-law.
Now Jiang Yifan was serving as the County Magistrate in Qingyuan County, and it was said that a woman who looked strikingly like the eldest miss was within the jurisdiction of Qingyuan County, and that this woman lived a flourishing life. How had Jiang Yifan borne this?
Although Jiang Yifan was no longer a son-in-law of Duke An’s Mansion, he was still a local official of Qingyuan County and could not be neglected. They hastened to greet him.
Before they even left the corridor of the main house, Jiang Yifan turned their way, followed by several familiar young servants.
From a distance, Jiang Yifan greeted Lian Gui with a clasped handshake and a smile, "Steward Lian is coming to Qingyuan County, and doesn’t send a message ahead of time for Jiang to arrange accommodations? There is no need for you to stay in an inn like now. How could Jiang face everyone from the Duke’s Mansion in the future?"
Lian Gui hurriedly bowed and saluted continuously, "Lord Jiang is too courteous, too courteous. We came to Qingyuan County for private matters, where would we dare to bother you and cause you trouble?"
