Chapter 372 Li Chang Visits (1)_1
After a busy morning’s clean-up, the stuff in the front hall had been mostly tidied. Lin Yuan and her group finally had a moment to rest when suddenly it seemed unusually lively outside.
Liang Zi, quick on his feet, hurried out to take a look and then came running back, stammering to Lin Yuan, "Boss, Boss, the, the Master Magistrate is here!"
Lin Yuan was startled and somewhat surprised. She had no dealings with Li Chang, so what was he doing here? Could it be about the theft last night? But she didn’t remember sending anyone to report it. After all, for those in business, the less trouble the better, and it was smart to keep a distance from Yamen if possible.
Then she thought of something, turned her head, and, sure enough, saw Xia Zheng sitting in his chair with a self-righteous look and a cold smile on his lips.
Just back from outside, Lin Yi still had that icy expression, not at all surprised by Li Chang’s arrival.
Lin Yuan was speechless; so it was these two’s doing.
As she was pondering, Li Chang had already entered, not wearing his official robes but his casual clothes, followed by an adviser struggling in with two large boxes.
Fifth Sister Bai quietly observed from the side, feeling sympathy for the adviser who, despite being over fifty, still had to do such hard labor.
Xia Zheng might ignore Li Chang, but Lin Yuan couldn’t. She quickly went to greet him. Although very reluctant, she bent her knees, about to kneel and pay her respects.
