Xiao Yunzheng: "What's wrong? What did you see that made you look like that?"

She didn't know about Luo Yuanxiang and Qin Junyu, and still treated Luo Yuanxiang as the innocent little girl, taking extra care of her along the way.

Luo Yuanxiang smiled but did not answer her. Instead, she moved closer to Su Su and asked her intentionally, "Sister, who was the person who was talking to Master Xiao outside just now? He looked like an official."

Nian Susu's expression changed subtly, and he replied lazily, "I don't know him."

When they were in Shengjing, Qin Junyu had mentioned to her that everything had been arranged in Yuhang and someone would pick them up as soon as they arrived, but she didn't know who he contacted to arrange everything.

Judging from the old man's demeanor and dress, he must be a high-ranking official. He nodded and bowed to Qin Junyu, obviously knowing his identity. Nian Susu could now guess that he was the prefect of Yuhang - the highest local official.

After failing to get any information out of him, Luo Yuanxiang did not back down and pressed the issue even further. "I see they are all very polite to Master Xiao. Master Xiao must be someone extraordinary, right?"

As for Luo Yuanxiang, they only told him that he was the son of a wealthy family. As for other things, they said nothing at all. Even Xiao Yunzheng, who was outspoken, did not reveal a single word. Luo Yuanxiang could not get any information and was very anxious.

Xiao Yunzheng smiled, "What's an important identity? Miss Luo, haven't you heard that money makes the world go round? As long as you walk into the city with banknotes and throw them around, not to mention that old man, the entire Yuhang County will respect you as their breadwinner."

The words are rough but the truth is there, but they are too rough.

Luo Yuanxiang felt a lump in his throat and was speechless, so he stopped asking and lowered his head silently.

Nian Susu and Xiao Yunzheng exchanged glances, both trying to hold back their laughter.

County Magistrate Chen led the team all the way to a house called "Yian Garden".

Qin Junyu looked down from his horse and saw that the house was very grand, with four courtyards, almost the same as the homes of high-ranking officials in Shengjing. The fifth courtyard above was of the standard of the royal family. It was big but a bit old, and the pull rings on the wooden doors were covered with dust.

County Magistrate Chen smiled flatteringly: "Master Xiao, do you think this place is okay?"

Qin Jun dismounted with great ease, "Okay."

Nian Susu and others got off the carriage one after another and walked forward with smiles on their faces.

When County Magistrate Chen saw the presence of female relatives, he immediately became nervous. He only knew that the Crown Princess would come to Yuhang with the Crown Prince, and had never heard that there would be other women accompanying him.

The one in the lead was dignified and graceful, with a stunning face. Standing together with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, they were a perfect match. Without much thought, it was clear who the Crown Princess was.

County Magistrate Chen bowed politely and said, "I guess this is Madam Xiao?"

Nian Susu was frightened by his bow and quickly returned the greeting, "Forgive my ignorance, I don't know who you are sir..."

Qin Junyu answered her: "He is the governor of Yuhang, his surname is Chen. I am afraid that we will have to trouble you a lot during our stay in Yuhang, please bear with us, Governor Chen."

The words were spoken in a dignified and arrogant tone.

Among the few people, only Luo Yuanxiang showed a look of surprise.

She became even more suspicious of the identity of this "Master Xiao". Who on earth could he be that could make a county governor bow and nod to him and obey his orders?

If you say it's because of money, she will never believe it.

Luo Yuanxiang calmed down and put away her surprised expression.

Nian Susu remained calm and said, "Greetings, Master Chen. You have good eyesight."

"However...Mr. Xiao and I have only made an engagement, and we have not yet married, so I cannot bear the title of 'Mrs. Xiao'. My Lord, just call me 'Miss Nian'."

When the County Magistrate Chen was about to reply, Qin Junyu interrupted him and said, "Since the engagement has been made, it is only a matter of time before we get married. Lord Chen can call her Madam Xiao."

Nian Su Su glared at him, feeling that he was against him.

Qin Junyu was calm and composed, as if he had done nothing.

County Magistrate Chen could smell the growing smell of war and his eyes flickered back and forth between the two men.

"Mr. Xiao, you are wrong. Marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers. It is the most important event in life. You don't have three letters and six ceremonies, nor eight sedan chairs to marry me, let alone a ten-mile red dress and a phoenix crown and bridal robe. How can I be considered a member of your Xiao family?"

Qin Junyu chuckled, "So the Madam blames me for not putting the wedding date on the agenda as soon as possible. It's my fault for keeping the Madam waiting for so long. When we're done, I'll go back and immediately arrange for three matchmakers and six betrothals, eight sedan chairs, ten miles of red dowry, and a phoenix crown and bridal robe to take you home."

Nian Susu was speechless. He knew clearly that this was not what he meant, but he still led him in this direction.

She ignored him out of spite.

"Uh... this..." County Magistrate Chen was terrified. He had never thought that the Crown Princess was such a "fierce" woman. She actually quarreled with the Crown Prince in public, and before she even got married.

Qin Guanqing, an outsider, saw through it all and smiled without saying anything.

County Magistrate Chen looked at Xiao Yunzheng again and asked Qin Guanqing hesitantly, "Who is this girl?"

He didn't dare to ask Qin Junyu and could only place his hopes on Qin Guanqing.

"Oh, she is my sister." Qin Guanqing glanced at Xiao Yunzheng with a smile.

Xiao Yunzheng has never liked Qin Guanqing calling her "sister" or "little sister", but now no matter how unhappy she is, she can only endure it.

"Miss Xiao is obviously a daughter of a wealthy family. I have guessed it, but I dare not say it for fear of offending the girl." The governor of Chen County was tactful and spoke nicely.

Xiao Yunzheng was so happy to be praised that she actually felt embarrassed one day. The anger that was aroused by Qin Guanqing just now disappeared in an instant.

Luo Yuanxiang straightened her back silently, put on a good attitude and waited for County Magistrate Chen to ask her questions.

She was looking forward to seeing how they would introduce themselves.

But unexpectedly, County Magistrate Chen didn't even ask her and directly ordered people to carry the luggage onto the carriage. Qin Junyu didn't even take her seriously. Only Nian Susu glanced at her with a gloomy look.

Luo Yuanxiang immediately felt like a clown.

What made her feel even more embarrassed was that County Magistrate Chen pointed at her and said to Nian Susu, "Madam Xiao, my people are clumsy and rough, and I'm afraid they might damage your things. If there is anything that you can't let them touch, let this little maid go in with them."

After saying that, County Magistrate Chen invited Qin Junyu and Qin Guanqing in, saying that he would introduce them to the local culture of Yuhang.

Qin Junyu glanced at Luo Yuanxiang and said nothing.

Qin Guanqing felt embarrassed for her, but did not explain.

County Magistrate Chen didn't realize he had said the wrong thing yet. He grinned and raised his hand to signal them to come in.

Luo Yuanxiang was embarrassed, awkward and ashamed.

Nian Susu didn't let her help pack the luggage, but asked Axuan and Qingyu to help.

Several people walked into the hall one after another. When County Magistrate Chen received them, he sent a message back home and asked someone to make tea and wait for them.

Just right for four cups of tea and four seats.
