Chapter 1227: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1227: Xiao Shi Visits
Hu Li quickly changed the subject, and Gu Mama couldn't press him for more information. Instead, she smiled and chatted with him while they walked towards the county office.
However, Gu Mama's mood sank to the bottom, and her expression became anxious. Today marked the half-month deadline agreed upon by County Lord and the young miss. Since morning, the young miss had been restless.
Gu Mama had suggested going to the Lu family to see if there was really someone coming to propose marriage. However, as they were walking on Fenghuai Street, she unexpectedly saw Hu Li talking privately with village Lord.
Seeing their interaction, Gu Mama felt a little anxious. Could it be that their earlier guess was right, and village Lord was here to confront them? Perhaps she had grown tired of delaying and decided to inform Lord Xiang?
The more Gu Mama thought about it, the more worried she became. When they returned to the county office, she immediately reported what she saw to Xiao Shi.
Xiao Shi's expression changed, and she slammed her hand on the table. "Let her report me; I want to see if my husband will really come to settle accounts with me. After all, I am the legitimate lady of the first rank. Why should I fear her?"
While she said that, Xiao Shi was more concerned about Xiang Wainan himself. If he did come to question her, she would feel cold-hearted.
Thinking about this, Xiao Shi felt a little dejected.
Originally, Gu Mama wanted to visit Village Lord to clear the air, but seeing Xiao Shi like this, she could only console her, "Miss, maybe we guessed wrong. Village Lord might not be here to report us."
"In that case, let's wait and see if my husband will come."
However, after waiting the whole afternoon, Xiang Wainan didn't show up. Instead, they heard that he had left the city for official business.

Xiao Shi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, followed by a hint of annoyance. The half-month deadline that Shu Yu had mentioned had passed a day ago, and there was no sign of any marriage proposal. Even though she didn't report them, she had still deceived them.
Yet, she waited another day and confirmed that no one from the Lu family came to propose. On the third day, she said to Gu Mama, "Let's go pay a visit to this village Lord."
"Understood."
Gu Mama agreed and helped Xiao Shi change into suitable clothes. They also brought along a simple maid and left the county office.
They got on the carriage and headed straight to Fenghuai Street.
Halfway through their journey, the simple maid suddenly said, "Miss, there are two horses following us from behind."
Xiao Shi and Gu Mama looked back and indeed saw two people on horseback, slowly following them.
Furrowing her brows, Gu Mama said, "The streets in this county are too narrow." She instructed the carriage driver, "Let's move to the side and let them pass first. The two high-headed horses behind are quite intimidating."
Besides, being so close, what if the two horses go wild?
The driver quickly pulled the reins and moved the carriage to the side. The two horses passed by, one after the other, and continued forward.
Before leaving, the rider on the back of the rear horse arched his hand at the driver. "Thank you."
The driver nodded, and the two horses soon disappeared from their sight.
Gu Mama lifted the carriage curtain to take a look. "It seems like they turned into Fenghuai Street."
Xiao Shi replied absentmindedly, "Fenghuai Street is full of wealthy people; it's not surprising."
