Moreover, the Tan Family also had close connections with the County Magistrate's Family, making them even less approachable.
Xu Yuanwai hastily made a bow to apologize, "I am but a lowly commoner, ignorant and offensive in many ways, I beg for your broad-minded forgiveness from both of you."
"Why would Xu Yuanwai need to perform such grand courtesy, Ah Hong and I truly cannot accept it."
Qiao Duo'er declined Xu Yuanwai's attempt to curry favor. She was disgusted by the look he had just given her; how could she let him off so easily?
Xu Yuanwai wiped the sweat from his forehead, "No matter how grand, you both can certainly accept it. It was my fault for not recognizing noble persons."
Qiao Laixi and Liu's family were dumbstruck. What was going on here?
Could it be that Tan Zhenghong's rank was even higher than Xu Yuanwai's?
If that was the case, then wasn't their plan to use Xu Yuanwai to intimidate Tan Zhenghong utterly pointless now?
