Led by the nanny arranged by Mrs. Xing, they headed towards Jia She's courtyard.

Jia She had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

In order to show his importance, he even changed into a brand new official robe.

Ever since I guessed a possibility from Jia Lian's mouth,

At that time, Jia She immediately felt that this might be the key opportunity for him to take a step forward. If he handled it well, maybe he could even bring his second son in as well!

No matter what, at least he can regain control of the Jia family!

After making up his mind, Jia She began to think about how to get some useful information from his niece later.

In the hall, Mrs. Xing, Jia She's wife, was also in the hall at this moment.

But unlike Jia She who had a serious brow, Mrs. Xing was walking back and forth in the hall restlessly at this moment, looking up from time to time outside the hall and muttering to herself from time to time.

"Oh, how come no one has arrived yet?"

"Are you tired? How about I send someone over to take a look?"

"..."

Jia She, who was originally deep in thought, was finally annoyed by Mrs. Xing's nagging and scolded,

"What are you dangling in front of me?"

"My eyes are blurry because of the shaking master!"

Mrs. Xing turned her head to look at Jia She and said helplessly,

"Master! Are you not in the least anxious?"

Jia She glanced at Mrs. Xing and slowly picked up the teacup on the table.

"Master, why should I be so anxious?"

Mrs. Xing was so anxious that she kept shaking her head. She quickly walked to Jia She's side, looked around, and then whispered to Jia She,

"It seems the old lady is trying to match our new county lady with her precious son!"

Jia She paused with the teacup in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he slowly put the teacup down, pretending to be relieved and said,

"Oh? That's a great thing for our family! What's the matter?"

"Oh! You...you..."

Mrs. Xing was furious and annoyed when she saw Jia She acting like this.

Hearing what he said, if you didn’t know, you would think he was a filial son and grandson who would not ruin the family!

But unfortunately, Mrs. Xing didn't dare to get angry.

Just then, a maid came in from outside to report.

"Master, Madam, County Lord Lin has arrived!"

When Mrs. Xing heard this, her expression changed. She quickly packed her clothes and walked towards the seat next to Jia She.

"Who told you to sit down? Stand up!"

Jia She scolded him lightly, and then said to the maid,

"Immediately brew my best Yunnan Pu'er tea to greet you!"

"Yes!"

After the maid turned and left, Jia She immediately pointed at Mrs. Xing and scolded her,

"You heartless fool! Just because you have a mere imperial decree, you really think you can sit on the throne of a county lord in the human world, don't you?"

"Come with me, Master, and go out to greet him in person!"

After saying that, he strode out of the hall.

Mrs. Xing's face turned red and then pale, but she knew that what Jia She said was right.

Although the title of County Lady sounds like only the fifth rank, Lady Xing had an imperial decree.

But if we really talk about its value, it has to be Lin Daiyu's title of County Lady.

Mrs. Xing's imperial decree was obtained because of her husband, and she paid a lot of money to get it.

However, only the daughter of a master of the imperial clan is eligible to apply to the court for the title of county lady of Lin Daiyu.

Add to that Lin Daiyu's fief of a hundred households, and she is truly favored by the emperor!

In a few days, he will have to go to the palace to express his gratitude, a qualification that even Jia She does not have.

After being scolded by Jia She, he realized his own arrogance and hurriedly followed him out.

Lin Daiyu had just gotten out of the sedan chair.

Jia She and Madam Xing came forward together to pay their respects.

"First-class General Jia She pays his respects to the Lord of Leping County!"

Lin Daiyu's expression changed rapidly, and she immediately knew who was in front of her when she heard the voice.

He knelt down and saluted,

"Uncle, please stand up quickly. How can an uncle meet his niece? How can this be allowed?"

Jia She then stood up and said with a smile,

"The county lord's status is noble, and this is as it should be."
