Although he apologized with his words, there was not the slightest fear on his face. Cao Jin was the adopted son of the Major Steward of the Duke of An Guo's mansion in the Capital, and also the close friend of the future House Master of the richest Huo family in the Great Jin Dynasty. Even Prefect Han had to treat him with a degree of respect!
Prefect Han hilariously returned the honor, saying, "Brother Cao, you are too courteous. There is a saying that one does not enter the Three Treasures Hall without a purpose. As an official, my wife and I have taken the liberty to come here today at the behest of another. We are here for a joyous occasion, so please forgive any disturbance caused."
After speaking, he nodded to Mu Zhongqing and said, "Scholar Mu, we have just met, and I never thought we would meet again so soon!"
