Jhiang Jiaxue smiled at the two children before turning to Fu Hanwen and said, "Young Master Fu, when I came in just now, I heard that the County Magistrate from Yunzhi County has arrived. Do you want to go out and welcome him personally?"

"Lord Xu?" Xiao Ruo exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Fu, I don't think we sent an invitation to Lord Xu, did we?"

Fu Hanwen's brow furrowed slightly, and he affirmed, "No, we didn't."

"Then why would Lord Xu come?" Xiao Ruo wasn't begrudging a cup of wedding wine, but as a County Magistrate, coming uninvited and in such a "people-friendly" manner was truly surprising.

"Lady Gao, could you please stay here and talk with Ruoruo? I will go out and see what's happening," Fu Hanwen politely entrusted Xiao Ruo to Jhiang Jiaxue's care.

"No problem, go ahead with your business," Jhiang Jiaxue didn't really like how Fu Hanwen addressed her, but she didn't show her disapproval.
