Qi Yue instantly realized what it felt like to say something that couldn't be taken back.
With no alternatives, she ultimately had to visit the residence of the Prefectural Magistrate Hu.
As expected from the person who held the power of life and death over the entirety of Longnan County, the estate was frighteningly large.
Upon entering, there was a large boulder carved into a wall relief, flanked by symmetrical paths of flowers and plants.
The fragrant aromas of flowers and fresh grass hit her face.
Guided by Housekeeper Yue, Qi Yue took the right path and passed through two courtyards, a long corridor, and after rounding three corners, she arrived at a very large courtyard.
Before she even entered, she heard Huang Zai'an's hearty laughter.
"Rest assured, Magistrate Hu. With your son's leg under my care, and if all else fails, my disciple is even more skilled than I am!"
Qi Yue silently twitched the corners of her lips.
