The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Giving a Gift to Xiang Weinan

The County Magistrate Zhang’s face turned pale for a moment, and at the same time, a voice like celestial music to her ears came from outside the crowd, ”Who is looking for me?”

The onlookers stepped aside, making a path as Xiang Weinan emerged with a few officers and a board cart.

He said cheerfully, ”Apologies for my late arrival.”

Ding Yuehua spoke quietly with a hint of nervousness, ”What should we do? Lord Xiang is here.”

Third Lu was supremely confident, ”Let him come, our Yu knows Lord Xiang.”

”Of course I know they’re acquainted, but personal ties are one thing; now, in public, the other party is still the county magistrate. Lord Xiang has to give her some face; he can’t openly favor Yu, can he? That’s unreasonable.”

Third Lu clicked his tongue, ”That’s not true; Lord Xiang will definitely favor Yu.”

Ding Yuehua, ”...” couldn’t reason with him.

She turned to Shu Yu, who showed no sign of worry; instead, she seemed interested in the board cart behind Xiang Weinan.

There seemed to be a lot of things on that board cart, and they were all dragged to her doorstep. Could they all be for her?

As for what the County Magistrate Zhang said about lowering oneself above one’s station...

Shu Yu shrugged and said to Ding Yuehua, ”Have I ever disrespected County Magistrate Zhang? I am such a rule-abiding person; how could I possibly do such a thing?”

Ding Yuehua blinked, haven’t you?

She turned her head to look at County Magistrate Zhang.

County Magistrate Zhang, seeing Xiang Weinan approaching, lit up with joy and hurriedly ran forward, ”You are the county magistrate of Jiangyuan County?”

”Indeed, I am. And who might you be?”

The maid of County Magistrate Zhang immediately stepped forward and said, ”This is our lady, County Magistrate Zhang from Dongan Province.”

”Oh, so it’s the county magistrate.”

County Magistrate Zhang nodded, ”Lord Xiang, you arrived right in time; I need to talk to you...”

”No rush, County Magistrate Zhang, I have urgent business to attend to. We can discuss other matters once I’m done. Please wait a moment.”

”I...”

County Magistrate Zhang was naturally displeased, but Xiang Weinan had already bypassed her and walked forward. As he passed by Meng Yunzheng, he glanced at him and then said to Shu Yu, ”Monarch Lu Xiang, I hope I’m not too late for the congratulations? Apologies, the Office has been busy, and along with needing to sort out some gifts, I arrived a bit late.”

With that, he waved his hand, ”Hu Li, bring over the congratulatory gifts for Monarch Lu Xiang.”

So Hu Li brought the board cart over, and Shu Yu was stunned, ”This entire cart, are these gifts? For me?”

”Yes.” Hu Li nodded.

Third Lu’s eyes lit up, seeing just how generous Lord Xiang was. No doubt, that’s the opulence of an official, sending so much at once.

Shu Yu, however, thought Xiang Weinan was stingy, surely unwilling to spend so much, so she asked uncertainly, ”Lord Xiang, are all these gifts from you?”

”Hahaha, of course not, I’m just the courier, helping someone send them.”

Shu Yu breathed a sigh of relief; as expected, Xiang Weinan wouldn’t be so generous toward her.

”For whom is Lord Xiang running an errand?”

Xiang Weinan smiled at her, ”Who else could it be? They naturally came from the capital.”

The quite displeased County Magistrate Zhang stepped forward, intending to interrupt their conversation and charge Shu Yu with her alleged crimes. But then she heard this statement, which made her pause in astonishment, gifts for Lu Shuyu from people in the capital?
