On the ninth day of the new year, Wufu, who was engrossed in carving, suddenly received an invitation card from Lord County Magistrate. He hastily put down his work, changed out of his work clothes, and readjusted his makeup before going to greet him.
Everyone at the Wu Residence was nervous yet excited about the arrival of Lord County Magistrate. After all, besides The Magistrate's Wife, this was the first time an official of such rank was visiting their home.
Despite this, thanks to the efforts of people like Purple Jade and Qiu Xiang, everything in the residence was in perfect order.
Wufu personally waited at the gate and, upon seeing Wen Congrui come in casual attire accompanied only by a young servant and a guard, stepped forward to bow in greeting.
"No need for formalities. I've heard that you've settled here, yet I haven't even come to ask for a cup of tea. My sudden visit must be an intrusion," Wen Congrui said in a beige brocade, lifting his hand slightly.
