Chapter 317 - Chapter 325: Shut up for me

Su Wenyue looked over and saw Mrs. Sun and her daughter approaching gracefully. Many people came forward to greet them. Of course, their reception didn't match that offered to the Marquess's Lady. The prefecture governor was a senior fourth-rank official, while the general magistrate was junior fifth-rank, so even among guests, only the Magistrate's wife would have to come over to pay her respects. Besides, Governor Wei and Magistrate Sun belonged to different camps and had significant disagreements on political views. They only maintained a superficial harmony. That's how high society was: everyone liked to maintain an appearance of peace, even if they were fighting viciously behind the scenes and secretly harboring deep hatred. They would still appear joyful on the surface, though there were exceptions, of course.
