After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 314 Revisiting the old place

"I didn't expect that County Magistrate Huang actually governed the county quite well?" Xu Yingying said excitedly.

Li Siqi was also in a very good mood and nodded in agreement. "This is something I didn't expect. At the beginning, he suffered a lot in the court because of me, so I asked my father to transfer him to the county. I didn't expect that he would be so successful. It seems that he is suitable to stay away from those official circles."

Xu Yingying also agreed with what Li Siqi said.

The group went straight to the county lord's mansion without stopping. Xu Yingying got off the carriage with the help of Li Siqi. Then Li Siqi left only a maid who was serving Xu Yingying and asked the rest to go to their current residence in the county to pack up first.

They knocked on the door of the county lady's mansion. The first person to open the door was the doorman. There was a clear mark on his face. It looked like he was sleeping just now, but was suddenly disturbed by them.

The doorman opened the door mumblingly, looking annoyed as if he had been woken from a sweet dream. However, when he saw Li Siqi's half-smile, he was startled and said, "Your Highness, it's Your Highness, Your Highness, you're back."

At this time, the doorman realized something and knelt down with a plop. "I, your humble servant, kowtow to Your Majesty. I did not recognize you just now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Before Li Siqi could say anything, he heard Xu Yingying, who was blocked behind him, burst out laughing, "Look how scared you are." As she spoke, Xu Yingying walked out from behind him.

The doorman naturally noticed Xu Yingying and said, "Princess, I greet you."

"Alright, get up quickly. We are here to look for County Master Huang. Is he in the mansion now?"

The doorman responded quickly, "Yes, yes, please come in, Your Majesty and Princess. I will go and inform the master right away."

After saying that, the doorman opened the door, told the servant next to him to find Huang Shaohua, and walked to the front hall with Xu Yingying and the others.

But just as they sat down, they heard Huang Shaohua's voice, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Sure enough, the next second, Huang Shaohua appeared outside the door. He was panting, holding the door frame with his hands, trying hard to control his breathing.

Behind him, the servants could be heard saying, "Master, Master, please run slower. Madam can't keep up with you."

Xu Yingying noticed the "Madam" mentioned by the servants, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Then she exchanged glances with Li Siqi, and they both sat down on the chairs, looking at Huang Shaohua leisurely.

Not long after, a woman who looked like a woman appeared behind Huang Shaohua. She didn't look very old, but what was more eye-catching was the child in the arms of the maid behind her.

Huang Shaohua finally calmed down at this time, glanced at his wife beside him, then took her hand and walked in.

When they arrived in front of Li Siqi and Xu Yingying, Huang Shaohua and his wife bowed deeply to them.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty and Princess. May Your Majesty and Princess be blessed with good health."

"There's no need to be so polite, Magistrate Huang. Please stand up and speak first." The voice belonged to Xu Yingying.

Huang Shaohua then pulled his wife up, but his expression changed instantly and became the Huang Shaohua they were familiar with.

He sat carelessly on the chair opposite Li Siqi, "I never thought that I would be able to meet the prince one day in this life. Now that I think about it, the last time I saw the prince, he was still His Highness."

"Yes, I didn't expect that so much time has passed. It seems that you have managed this county quite well. Do you want me to transfer you back to the capital?" Li Siqi said after taking a sip of tea.

Huang Shaohua almost spit out the tea he had just drunk when he heard this. "No, no, Your Majesty, it's good in this county. I think I can stay here until I die. What's more, I already have a wife and children here, and I don't want to leave."

As he spoke, Huang Shaohua glanced affectionately at his wife who was sitting next to him.

"Speaking of wife and children, County Lady Huang, you are really not a kind person." Xu Yingying took over the conversation and said, "When Ah Qi and I were in the capital, we didn't hear about your marriage. You didn't let us know about such a big event. I think Ah Qi should punish you severely."

After hearing this, Huang Shaohua smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything more. He was in the wrong in this matter.

"Well, wasn't I worried about distracting the prince? When the prince and princess were in the capital, they were busy with affairs and I couldn't disturb them. Let's not talk about this. This time the prince and princess have returned to the county, but are there any matters to deal with? Or are there any dangerous people in the county?" Thinking of this, Huang Shaohua became a little nervous.

"Neither, but we came here this time to look for something, and perhaps we need your help, County Master Huang." Xu Yingying spoke slowly.

"That's easy. As long as I can help, I will do my best for the prince and princess without hesitation." Huang Shaohua's words were so powerful that Xu Yingying was amused by him.

Xu Yingying briefly explained the purpose of her visit to Huang Shaohua, and Huang Shaohua promised that he would help Xu Yingying pay attention to the whereabouts of the jade pendant.

When she returned to her residence, it was already dark. Xu Yingying rubbed her aching waist. She didn't know if it was because of the child. Although she was not pregnant yet, her waist would ache whenever she was active for a long time.

Li Siqi noticed Xu Yingying's discomfort, helped her lie down on the bed, and stretched out his hand to relieve the discomfort in Xu Yingying's waist.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xu Yingying seemed to notice Li Siqi's worry and comforted him.

Then, she looked at an empty corner and said, "Luming, think about what the jade pendant looks like."

Li Siqi followed Xu Yingying's gaze, but saw no one. He thought about it and took out a small bottle from his arms. He carefully smeared the contents on his eyelids. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Lu Ming with his head cut off.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp when he saw Lu Ming.

Lu Ming seemed to be thinking about something desperately and did not notice Li Siqi's reaction. Instead, Xu Yingying pinched Li Siqi's arm, signaling him not to show his true colors.

After a while, Lu Ming seemed to have given up and said sullenly, "I can't remember anything, but if I saw the jade pendant, or if it appeared next to me, I should be able to sense it."

Xu Yingying seemed to be thinking about something. "Okay, I understand. I'll keep an eye out for you."
