Missing the Time Would Be Struck by Lightning

Nanli slightly furrowed her brows and said, "You've been thanking me so much that my ears are getting calluses."

Ming Ying wiped her tears and nodded, "Yes, I won't say it anymore."

On the other side, Lord Chen, who had been trembling with fear when Nanli didn't let him atone for his mistakes, felt as if the 100 taels and jade pendant were two heavy stones pressing on his heart, making it hard to breathe.

Finally, Nanli remembered him, "County Lord, what are you planning to do?"

Previously at the Ghost Market, she had noted his behavior, clearly not the kind of official who did practical work for the people.

Hearing this, Lord Chen was delighted but dared not show it. "I am aware of my mistakes. Please, Ninth Princess, give me a chance to confess!"

Nanli nodded, which was exactly what she wanted. Firstly, she didn't want to report to the Emperor and the Royal Heir. Secondly, she had more important things to do.
