Chapter 49
Wen Wan sat on the stone pier outside the county government office, holding a bag of fried chestnuts in sugar, which was a snack Song Wei bought for her before entering the arena.

Just in case, the couple came to the county seat yesterday and got a room at an inn not far from the county government office.

Originally Song Wei meant that Wen Wan didn't have to come here, just wait for him in the inn, but Wen Wan disagreed, even if she didn't have a hunch, she had to wait outside the county government office in person, instead of watching everyone walk from the examination room with her own eyes. She couldn't feel relieved when she came out.

It was already spring, and the wind was strong outside, and it was still a bit cold, which made her face turn red from the cold.

Wen Wan put her frozen hands to her mouth and rubbed them together, then continued to peel and eat chestnuts.

I don't know when a tall and burly man came to the side. He sized her up twice before he said, "Excuse me, are you Miss Song Wen?"

Wen Wan raised her head.

The man was wearing a capable black suit with a sword hanging around his waist. His face was resolute and cold, and he looked at her without any emotion. Alarm bells rang in Wan's heart.

Listen to this person's accent, not a local, what does he want to do?
The other party seemed to have found out that she couldn't speak. Seeing her wary face, the other party slowed down, "Don't worry, Mrs. Song, I won't hurt you, I just want to take you somewhere."

The county examination is not a formal scientific examination, and it is different from the township examination.

There are a total of five county examinations, one per day, entering before dawn and leaving at dusk.

After Song Wei finished the exam, thinking that Wen Wan was still waiting outside, he immediately packed up his things and came out, but saw that the outside was empty, and Wen Wan's figure had long since disappeared.

He guessed that it must be windy outside, so she went back to the inn first, then quickened her pace towards the inn.

Just a few steps forward, I saw a muscular man standing not far in front, dressed as a guard, with a saber of extraordinary material at his waist, indicating that the master behind him was either rich or noble.

With just one glance, Song Wei withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward, but he didn't expect that the man stretched out his hand to block his way.

Song Wei paused, "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

The guard clasped his fists and cupped his hands, "Young Master Song, my master has an invitation."

Song Wei looked calm, "Who is your master?"

"Young master will know when he goes."

Song Wei smiled lightly, "Song was born in the countryside, and he didn't know any important people in his daily life. I'm afraid it will be a waste of time for Your Excellency."

Seeing Song Wei bypassing him and going away, the guard added with a cold face, "Young Master Song's wife is here too, why don't you think about it?"

Song Wei paused.

-

The largest restaurant in the county, Songhe Tower.

The elegant room on the top of the third floor is decorated in a simple and elegant way.

The Eight Immortals table in the middle is filled with the restaurant's signature dishes, which are delicious in color, fragrance and taste, and just smelling them will make people's index fingers move.

Wen Wan had no appetite at all, she sat at the table with her head down, rubbing her fingers on her legs.

Opposite her, sat a middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes. He had already poured himself several cups, and when he saw Wen Wan came in, he lowered his head. Without getting angry, he smiled kindly, "Mrs. Song, don't be nervous. I invited you here just to ask your husband-in-law about something. There is absolutely no malice."

Tenderly pursed the corners of her lips.

She was indeed uneasy, but she did not panic, because there was no bad premonition.

She was just worried that Xianggong would be anxious if he didn't see her when he came out after the exam.

The middle-aged man seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and then said, "I have asked my men to go to the gate of the county government office to pick up people, Mr. Song should be here soon."
