County princess Zhang's face turned slightly pale for a moment. At the same time, a voice that sounded like music to her ears came from outside the crowd, "Who's looking for this official?"
The onlookers made way as Xiang Weinan walked out with several official attendants and a cart.
He cheerfully said, "Apologies for being late."
Ding Yuehua spoke in a slightly nervous tone, "What should we do? Xiang-daren is here."
Lu Sanzhu exuded unwavering confidence, "Let him come, Ah Yu knows Lord Xiang."
"I know they know each other, but personal connections are one thing. Now, in public, the other party is still a county lady. County magistrate Xiang has to give her some face. He can't blatantly show favoritism towards Ah Yu. That wouldn't be appropriate."
Lu Sanzhu clicked his tongue, "That's impossible. Lord Xiang will definitely favor Ah Yu."
Ding Yuehua, "..."
She looked at Shu Yu, who had no trace of worry on her face. Instead, she seemed interested in the cart behind Xiang Weinan.
There seemed to be quite a few things on the cart. Could they all be gifts for her?
As for what County princess Zhang said about "following the superior"...
Shu Yu shrugged and said to Ding Yuehua, "Do I show disrespect towards County princess Zhang? As someone who knows the rules, how could I do such a thing?"
Ding Yuehua blinked her eyes. Did she really not?
She turned to look at County princess Zhang.
Seeing Xiang Weinan approaching, County princess Zhang's face showed delight, and she quickly stepped forward, "Are you the county magistrate of Jiangyuan County?"
"This official is. And who might you be?"
One of County princess Zhang's maidservants immediately stepped forward and said, "This is our young lady, County princess Zhang, from Dong'an Prefecture."
"Oh, so you're a county princess."
County princess Zhang nodded, "Xiang Daren, you came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you..."
"County princess Zhang, there's no need to rush. This official has urgent matters to attend to. After dealing with them, we can discuss other matters. Please wait a moment."
"I..."
County princess Zhang was naturally unhappy, but Xiang Weinan had already walked past her and continued forward. As he passed by Meng Yunzheng, he glanced at him before turning to Shu Yu, "Lu Xiangjun, I hope I'm not too late for the congratulations. Apologies, I was tied up with matters at the yamen, and I also had some gifts to prepare, so I'm a bit late."
He waved his hand, "Hu Li, bring Lu Xiangjun's gifts over."
Hu Li then brought the cart over. Shu Yu was stunned, "This entire cart is filled with gifts? Gifts for me?"
"Yes," Hu Li nodded.
Lu Sanzhu's eyes lit up. County magistrate Xiang was so generous; he truly lived up to being a wealthy official. He was sending so many gifts at once.
Shu Yu, however, felt that Xiang Weinan was being stingy and wouldn't send so many gifts. Thus, she asked uncertainly, "Xiang Daren, are these all the gifts you sent to me?"
"Hahaha, of course not. This official is just running errands, delivering them on someone else's behalf."
Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Xiang Weinan wouldn't be so generous to her.
"Whose errands are you running?"
Xiang Weinan smiled at her, "Who else but those from the capital?"
Annoyed, County princess Zhang had just stepped forward to interrupt their conversation and accuse Shu Yu when she heard Xiang Weinan's words. She immediately froze. People from the capital sending gifts to Lu Xiangjun?
