Chapter 910: Chapter 908_1

Fang Wanping remained standing there, staring blankly in the direction where Jingrui had disappeared.

So he is the Magistrate!

How could she not have guessed it!

In this prefecture, many high officials had their homes searched by the Imperial Court. Which family could still have such a noble and extraordinary young master?

Everyone says that the Magistrate is the youngest official in the history of the dynasty, and he is extraordinarily handsome!

How could she not have thought he was the Magistrate!

How could she not have thought of it!

She should have thought of it!

Xiao Ling had made such a fuss in front of them at noon, deliberately targeting them and causing trouble in his restaurant!

He must have recognized Xiao Ling!

No wonder her father said that the Magistrate seemed not to like him!

She thought the Magistrate was just moody!

It turned out that she had offended him unknowingly!

Thinking of Xiao Ling dragging her into the incident at noon, Fang Wanping glared resentfully at Xiao Ling!

It was all her fault!

After what happened at noon, how could the Magistrate have a good impression of her?

Even when the Magistrate’s friends brought their own food to her restaurant, and the Magistrate didn’t object, they took the opportunity to make a fuss! The Magistrate must think she is a bothersome person!

Thinking about this, Fang Wanping wished she could turn back time!

Seeing her daughter appear dazed as she watched the Magistrate, Mrs. Fang smiled slightly: "What do you think, isn’t the Magistrate handsome?"

Fang Wanping came back to her senses, her face flushed, and she nodded.

Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Mrs. Fang knew that her daughter was smitten, which made her happy. Yet, she couldn’t help but whisper: "Then you need to perform well!"

Mrs. Fang had great expectations for her daughter’s marriage. She wanted to use this opportunity to enter the circle of the wealthy and influential in the Imperial Capital. Now, just the right opportunity had presented itself!

Not to mention the Magistrate’s connections to Prince Rui, and being the eldest son of the Marquis Shengping Mansion, just based on the fact that he is the youngest magistrate in the history of the Minze Dynasty, with such talents and status, she was willing to marry her daughter to him!

Of course, her daughter’s willingness is also very important! Now that her daughter seemed interested, she felt reassured.

Hearing this, Fang Wanping’s face showed a trace of worry.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fang felt a sudden jolt in her heart, and she anxiously asked: "What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you don’t like him?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Wanping glanced at Mrs. Fang and slowly said: "Given the Magistrate’s background and talents, how could I possibly not like him! I am worried that the Magistrate might not like me. Besides, it seemed like Miss Zhu, whom we met on the boat, is quite familiar with the Magistrate."

Upon hearing this, the faces of Mrs. Fang and Master Fang slightly changed.

Mrs. Fang anxiously asked: "Is that true? What’s their relationship?"

"How would I know? All I know is that I saw them sitting together for a meal!"

If he hadn’t eaten in a private room, she definitely would have guessed that the charming and distinguished man was the Magistrate!

Eating in the main hall with those who are not respectable, isn’t there something wrong with the Magistrate’s mind? Such a noble person was actually sitting with people of lower status, causing her to misunderstand! Fang Wanping thought bitterly.

"Could they be siblings? No, one has the surname Zhu, and the other Shen, they can’t be siblings! Are they cousins? They must be! Fortunately, the Imperial Court has now banned marriages between close relatives! Wanping, you still have a chance! And that Miss Zhu’s appearance is far below yours! She doesn’t suit the Magistrate at all! How could the Magistrate possibly like a girl of such mediocre appearance!" Mrs. Fang mumbled to herself and came to a conclusion.

Hearing this, Fang Wanping seemed to agree, that girl from the merchant family was plain-looking, not beautiful at all. The young mistress near her was truly beautiful, but she was already married!

And her husband is such an outstanding man! That man’s aloof aura even surpassed the Magistrate’s!

What does this prove? This proves that a woman still needs to rely on her looks! As long as they are beautiful, they can marry well!

Fang Wanping touched her face, thankfully, she was very beautiful, inheriting the best traits from her parents! Although her height was not very tall, her figure was exquisite! Thinking of this, her worries lessened and her confidence increased.

Master Fang’s heart was not as relaxed. After hearing the conversation of the duo, he finally understood why the Magistrate was so cold towards him!

He had revealed his sub-prefect identity when they got off the ship.

Thinking of how his wife and daughter looked down on Miss Zhu, and how he was indifferent towards Master Zhu, Master Fang felt a bit of regret.

If he’d known, he would have tried to get on good terms with Master Zhu. He was even waiting for him to come up to him! But it turned out that he didn’t need to, he actually had bigger backing.

He must go back and think of a way to redeem his image in the Magistrate’s eyes!

"Wanping, go back to your room and rest early! Your mother and I will come over to have breakfast with you in the morning."

Fang Wanping had things on her mind and needed to go back to her room to think about how to make the Magistrate see her in a new light. She nodded: "Father, mother should also rest early."

Mrs. Fang also had to go back and think of a way to help her daughter win over the Magistrate soon!

Meanwhile, Jingrui, who was going to have dinner with Xiao’er, Shangguan Xuanyi and Zhu Yan after returning to his room, had no idea that he was being targeted.

Confronted with Xiao’er and others, he did not mention their encounter. For Jingrui, their appearance was like passersby, forgotten as soon as they passed by! So to him, they were of no consequence!

Since Jingrui didn’t mention it, Xiao Ling and others naturally wouldn’t bring up these three strangers who they had no regard for.

As Xiao’er mentioned the advantages of the mulberry fish pond, Jingrui decided to postpone other matters and free up some time to visit the site with Zhu Yan and Xiao’er the next day.

His current motto was "Everything for the people, everything from the people, everything for the people!"

So any good deeds for the people were given priority.

After they agreed on the time of departure for the next day, they each returned to their rooms to rest.

At night, Xiao’er entered the space to inquire Bai Tian about radiation stones.

"Bai Tian, didn’t you say that the function of radiation stone is opposite to the space original stone? Can the radiation stone really destroy the space?"

"Yes!" Bai Tian, hiding under the Immortal Lotus, answered while half-asleep.

"What does radiation stone need to do to destroy the space?"

"I’m not sure about the specifics, but it’s not easy. At a minimum, there needs to be a spiritual object both inside and outside of the space for it to work."

"Spiritual object, what is a spiritual object?"

"I don’t know, it could be anything!"

Xiao’er thought: Isn’t this just like saying nothing? How should she preempt it?
