Chapter 209 Not giving face
"what?!"

When the prefect of Jingzhao understood the purpose of Song Lan and others' visit, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his stool.

He paused for a long time, his fingertips still trembling, and reached out to grab the teacup in front of him, but missed several times before he finally caught it.

"Is what you said true?"

After asking this question, the prefect of Jingzhao wanted to slap himself twice.

What is he questioning?
Could it be possible that the son of that tigress Liu Guixiang would make a special trip just to deceive him?

The prefect of Jingzhao realized that he had asked a nonsense question and coughed twice in embarrassment.

What I was thinking slipped out of my mouth subconsciously: "...Um, don't tell your mother about this! I'm just being strict, yes, strict!!"

The prefect of Jingzhao found an excuse for himself.

Liu Wu was still confused.

Why did the prefect mention his mother out of the blue?

And he also said something about not letting him tell his mother... What does this have to do with anything?
They're not even close to each other!

"Does the princess know that you are here?"

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin asked the most concerned question, and then he couldn't help but look at Song Lan: "I haven't formally congratulated Madam Song on her wedding! But have you agreed on a date? When do you plan to hold the wedding banquet?"

"Mrs. Song, please remember to send an invitation to my wife as well, so that I can have a reason to have a drink with her openly."

He spoke in a relaxed tone, and used some everyday words.

In fact, I was very nervous.

Song Lan and Yan Jun's marriage has been decided. I heard that it was a mutual decision of the two and neither of them planned to have a big wedding.

Originally, according to the eldest princess's idea, the wedding should be held in a grand ceremony, with a ten-mile long red wedding bridal ceremony, according to the rules for a third-rank official marrying a wife and the ceremonies for a lady of the countryside to marry.

Unexpectedly, both of them refused. Later, they just agreed to set up two tables of wine and only invite close friends and relatives to come and have some fun, which would add to the happiness of the newlyweds.

But the date has not been set yet.

Song Lan looked indifferent, ignoring these words, lowering his head and holding the teacup, fiddling with it gently.

The prefect of Jingzhao felt the silence spreading in the air, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.

At the same time, I feel a little annoyed.

Isn’t this young lady from the Song family a little too ignorant of etiquette?
He was already so kind and condescending to give her enough face.

She was just...silent, not even willing to raise her eyelids.

Liu Wu came back to his senses in a daze and slapped the table hard.

"Hey? What's wrong with you? We are talking to you about a matter of life and death, and you are chatting about family matters? Is this the right time to talk about these things?"

The prefect of Jingzhao was so frightened by the sudden angry scolding and the sound of slamming the table that he almost lost his seat on the stool. When he wanted to stand up and adjust his posture, his legs suddenly went weak and he fell to his knees on the ground.

"I……"

The prefect of Jingzhao was speechless.

Jiao Bubai, who had listened to the whole process nearby, stepped forward quickly and helped the prefect of Jingzhao up.

Then he bowed to people as if nothing had happened, looking extremely serious and taking things very seriously.

"My Lord! This matter is indeed of great importance! Please allow me to lead people to the Zhou family outside the city to investigate this matter!!"

The prefect of Jingzhao glanced at Jiao Bubai, then looked at Liu Wu who was still glaring at him, coughed twice, and walked down the stairs.

"You're right, let's do this."
