Chapter 1578: Actually In-Law
“Prefecture Magistrate Xun? Is it this prefecture magistrate Xun from the Lingzhou Prefecture?” Second Madam asked.
Gu Yundong nodded. The next mont, she heard Second Madam’s matter-of-fact voice. “Of course we know him. He’s in-law with the Bai family.”
In-laws…?
Seeing her confused look, the Second Madam could not help but reach out and pinch her face. She reminded her, “Have you forgotten my sister-in-law’s surna?”
First Madam of the Bai Family? Her surna seed to be… Xun??
She widened her eyes in shock and looked at Shao Qingyuan.
So, prefecture magistrate Xun was the father of the Bai family’s First Madam?
This was really unimaginable.
No wonder. No wonder the gatekeeper said that if the prefecture magistrate was unhappy, he would not even see the Imperial Hospital’s head.
That made sense. Although Song Dejiang was old, he was Divine Physician Bai’s disciple. He was also a junior in front of the prefecture magistrate.
The Second Madam looked at the two of them and smiled. Her mood also changed.
She turned to Bai Hang and said, “I’ll go too. Since I’m in the Lingzhou Prefecture, it’s only right for to visit.”
“Yeah.”
The few of them did not delay. Bai Hang and his wife went to change their clothes and got into the carriage to go straight to the prefecture magistrate’s office.
Second Madam was still sitting in the carriage and did not look out, but the situation was much better than two days ago.
It seed that her heartache lay in the words ‘strangers’.
She was not against eting people she knew.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the governnt office. When the gatekeeper saw Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong appear again, he was stunned for a mont. He quickly went forward and asked, “Young Master Shao, why are you here again?”
Shao Qingyuan moved aside, revealing Bai Hang’s figure.
The gatekeeper frowned and looked at Bai Hang carefully. Then, he suddenly slapped his thigh. “Second Master Bai?”
“It’s .”
Although the Second Madam had not left the island for eighteen years, Bai Hang had been out.
Although he did not co often, the last ti he ca to the Lingzhou Prefecture was three years ago. His appearance did not change much, and the gatekeeper recognized him after a few glances.
Bai Hang smiled at the gatekeeper and said, “I’m looking for your lord.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll get soone to report it to the Lord imdiately.”
Then, the gatekeeper instructed soone to inform the prefecture magistrate while leading Bai Hang and the others in.
After taking a few steps, he couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Shao Qingyuan. He didn’t expect this person to have a relationship with the Bai family. In the morning, the guy seed to be at a loss. Now, he had actually hooked up with the magistrate’s in-laws.
As they pondered, they walked to the front hall.
The gatekeeper quickly left, and the maidservants in the residence served tea.
After a while, the footsteps of the prefecture magistrate sounded outside, followed by a gentle laugh.
“Bai Hang is here? I haven’t seen you in years.”
Gu Yundong looked up and saw a tall and thin man in his fifties with a beard walking in.
When the prefecture magistrate saw Bai Hang, the smile on his face beca even kinder.
However, in the next mont, when he saw the Second Madam standing beside him, he was slightly stunned, as if he was not sure.
After Bai Hang introduced her, he finally understood. “The last ti we t was 18 years ago. Is niece-in-law feeling better?”
The Second Madam smiled. “Better.”
“That’s good. Since you’re out of the island, you’ll stay outside for a few more days to relax and see the changes in our Lingzhou Prefecture over the years.”
The Second Madam nodded slightly.
Only then did the prefecture magistrate look at Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong.
