Chapter 623 - Chapter 623 Chapter 623 High Officials and Nobles

Chapter 623: Chapter 623 High Officials and Nobles Chapter 623: Chapter 623 High Officials and Nobles “They are all nobles from the Capital, and you must not offend them, please step aside quickly,” the village head came to Old Lady Mo, whispering.

It all happened so suddenly; he was not very clear about the situation, only knowing that there were high officials and nobles from the Capital inside,

Just now, the village head was in the middle of preparing to eat at home.

Suddenly two Government Officials rushed over, claiming that the county magistrate was arriving immediately and instructed him to prepare a welcome, specially advising that the county magistrate was accompanying nobles from the Capital in search of relatives and told him to be careful in serving them and not to offend the nobles.

Because time was so pressing, he had hastily gathered a few dozen villagers and waited anxiously at the village entrance.

Who would have known, just as he had met the county magistrate, he mentioned wanting to visit the Xie Residence, and here they were, just arriving at the entrance of the Xie Residence, only to see Old Lady Mo sitting at the front door, cursively berating someone inside; he feared offending the nobles and the county magistrate, and quickly stepped forward to intervene.

Old Lady Mo: “What would such noble individuals from the Capital want in a lowly family’s house like this?”

“Hush! Don’t talk nonsense. Be careful, else your head won’t remain on your shoulders.”

“Pah! I’m scolding my granddaughter; even high officials and nobles must speak with reason, right?” Old Lady Mo pursed her lips, a look of disdain on her face.

“You… you… be careful what you say.” Seeing the county magistrate walking over with a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, the village head had no time to blame Old Lady Mo and hurriedly ran over to the county magistrate, respectfully saying, “My lord, we’ve arrived at the Xie Residence, not sure if Xuexue is at home.”

“What else could a girl be doing if not at home?” the middle-aged man couldn’t help but remark.

The village head couldn’t help but steal a glance at him, then lowered his head and respectfully said, “My lord, you may not know, but Xuexue is our village’s talented woman. She’s amazing at business, owns a flower shop in town, and she goes there to do business every day; she rarely stays at home.”

“Oh! Truly worthy of being my daughter, hahaha…!” The middle-aged handsome man showed surprise, followed by a burst of hearty laughter.

The village head heard this and felt utterly baffled again. What exactly was happening? How did he not know?

The county magistrate was in a good mood, having long noticed Xuexue’s potential. To his unexpected delight, she had indeed connected him with high officials and nobles from the Capital.

“Village head, I will now formally introduce you. This is Great General Situ from the Capital.”

Great General Situ’s name was well-known throughout the Moli Country.

The village head, terrified, fell to his knees with a thud, bowing repeatedly and saying, “I am a blind and ignorant commoner; I did not realize Great General Situ graced us with his presence. I failed to welcome you from afar. Please, my lord, forgive me.”

Situ Yongjie waved his hand: “It’s fine, this general is out on personal matters, not official duties. Everything must be done discreetly. Stand up.”

“Thank you, General.” The village head bowed his head again before standing up.

“By the way, what was that woman doing at the door of the Xie family?” The county magistrate had seen Old Lady Mo sitting at the doorway earlier but had not heard what she was saying.

“To report to my lord, that woman is Xuexue’s grandmother,” the village head replied with utmost respect.

Situ Yongjie, wanting to learn more about Xuexue, said, “Call her over for questioning.”

“Yes.” The village head was sincerely apprehensive, afraid that one wrong word could offend these nobles.

He hurried over to Old Lady Mo: “Auntie Mo, the noble is asking for you to come over for questioning!”

Old Lady Mo looked perplexed: “I don’t know him, why is he summoning me for questioning?”

“Just go when you’re told to go. What’s with all the questions? I’m telling you! Be more cautious with your words, or else, be mindful that your head stays on your shoulders.”
