The resentful best friend travels through daily life

Out of politeness, Qi Ji stopped looking at Zhou Ning and suggested leaving quickly.

Once on the carriage, they didn't dare to stop and quickly drove the horses away.

Qi Ji and Bai Zhao were sitting outside driving the car, while Zhou Ning and Shen You were sitting inside.

This was the territory of Jincheng, where the prefect was located.

Shen You changed into the clothes of a county lady, while Zhou Ning wore something simple yet elegant.

Shen You picked out the most expensive jade hairpin for Zhou Ning to wear. After all, Zhou Ning was the protagonist of this drama and couldn't let others look down on her.

I didn't expect that the security here is particularly strict, and people from outside the city are not allowed to enter.

Qi Ji took out the county lord's seal, which was given by the emperor to prove the county lord's identity.

"This is a distinguished person. I have important matters to discuss with the prefect. I hope you can be accommodating."

When the guard saw the seal, it turned out to be the county lady's seal. Also, seeing Qi Ji's noble aura, he couldn't help but believe it a little. But he was not a know-it-all, so how could he know whether it was real or fake?

He said in a slightly more polite tone, "Please wait for a moment with this nobleman. We will go find the prefect."

Qi Ji nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for that."

Shen You was sitting in the car, hearing their conversation, and couldn't help but sigh: "If only the imperial edict had been brought with him at that time."

"You dare to take it, but we don't. If it gets lost or dirty on the way, we will be held accountable." Zhou Ning felt Shen You's pulse and asked, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. A Ning is a miracle doctor. It will feel better if I let you touch it." Shen You hugged Zhou Ning's arm and acted coquettishly.

The current prefect of Anzhou is a commoner named Zheng Lian.

Zheng Lian heard his men report and said, "Bring the seal up so I can see it."

The seal is made entirely of jade, which, although of good quality, is not particularly rare.

There were four big characters written under the seal: County Princess Shen You.

Shen You?

"Could it be the newly appointed county lord?" Zheng Lian murmured.

He was not born into a noble family, nor had he ever been affiliated with any noble family. His current position was entirely due to his own knowledge and the support of his wife.

Although his wife was from the Su family, the Su family had long since retired and was of no help to him in his career.

His wife had been childless for many years, and he had thought about marrying another wife, but firstly, his wife had been with him through thick and thin, and he couldn't bear it. Secondly, although the Su family had retired, it still had a great influence. If he divorced his wife rashly, he would be condemned by scholars and historians.

Now, this county lord was personally appointed by the emperor. If he could use her influence to establish a relationship with the emperor, he would have a foothold in the court.

Thinking of this, Zheng Lian called the servant, asked him to change his clothes, and went to greet the county lord.

Shen You was resting when she heard a commotion outside. She looked at Zhou Ning, who whispered, "The prefect is here."

"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes the county lady. You have been exhausted from the journey, so why not take a rest in my humble abode? I have prepared some wine and food, so please come over."

Zheng Lian bowed to the ordinary-looking carriage and thought to himself, is this really the county princess?

Shen You listened carefully to the voices outside, then cleared his throat. It was not a good time to make trouble, so he said, "Please stand up quickly, sir. Since you are so kind to entertain me, I can't refuse. Please lead the way."

Zheng Lian said yes and led the way.

The people on the street looked over. Their prefect was very respectful to the team and even mentioned something like "county princess". Could it be that a royal relative had come to their Jincheng?

Although Jincheng is the center of Anzhou and has always been the seat of the Anzhou prefect, the current emperor has also placed the capital in Anzhou. As a result, Jincheng seems less important and even a little desolate. It is rare to see royal relatives there on weekdays.

Arriving at Zheng Lian's residence, Qi Ji said in a gentle voice, "County Lady, we have arrived."

Zheng Lian looked at him quietly. The man looked gentle and refined, like a scholar. He didn't look like a servant, but he didn't look like the county lady's brother either. Could he be a lover?

Nowadays people are more open-minded and the restrictions on women are not as strong as before. It is nothing for a woman from a wealthy family to have a lover, let alone a county princess?

And this young man dressed in black, with a childish face, but very smart, looks like a top guard.

Two women came out of the carriage one after another.

The first girl who came out was wearing simple clothes, but the fabric was made of the finest brocade. Although she was not wearing any gold or silver, she was wearing a jade hairpin of the finest quality. After she came out, she did not look like she was serving anyone, but rather seemed a little cold and arrogant.

Could it be the county lord?

But the girl who came out later was wearing the county princess's gorgeous clothes, and her dress and every move looked more like the county princess.

Could the woman in front be her personal maid?

Shen You stood straight, nodded slightly to Zheng Lian, and said, "Please lead the way, sir."

Zheng Lian was certain in his heart that what he thought was correct, this person was the county lord.

Unfortunately, except for Shen You, Zheng Lian guessed wrong.

Zhou Ning is a friend and also a female doctor.

Qi Ji is my senior brother.

It is true that Bai Zhao is a guard, but he is not Shen You’s guard, but Qi Ji’s guard.

Along the way, Shen You observed the residence of Lord Zheng Lian.

There are quite a few servants here, but they are all doing their work in an orderly manner.

It's a turbulent time now, but the mansion is still so orderly, which shows how powerful the girl from the Su family is.

"County Lady, don't think I'm doing well here. In fact, my wife and I planned this. At this time of year, even the noble families are very sad."

Zheng Lian saw Shen You looking at his mansion and quickly said this.

Shen You smiled and said, "I understand." She was not targeting Zheng Lian, but the girl from the Su family.

Bai Zhao hurried behind Zhou Ning and said, "The layout of this courtyard is quite similar to that in Qingzhou."

"Isn't the Su family also from Qingzhou? The prefect's wife is only in her twenties this year. Even if she has been in the capital, judging from the time, she must have lived in Qingzhou." Zhou Ning said in a low voice.

This reminded her of something.

Aning, Awan, Ajie, Aniang.

My sister said that these were taught by my mother, and Bai Zhao said that these were the names used in Qingzhou. Maybe the deceased mother was also from Qingzhou?

The door to the flower hall was open, and there were four maids standing on each side, all dressed neatly.

There was also hot food on the table. It was cooked so well in such a short time. This girl from the Su family was really an amazing person.

Standing at the entrance of the flower hall was the prefect's wife, a daughter of the Su family, Su Zhiqiu.

Although her face did not look pale, her movements were weak and even her smile was forced.

She was so thin that she looked like she would be blown away by the wind.

Zhou Ning pursed her lips. How could she possibly give birth to a child with such a weak body? Giving birth at this time would be a life-threatening situation.
