Chapter 477: Pranking Without Forgetting To Flaunt Their Affection
After the discussion, Chen Liang immediately wanted to call his father over. However, his men told him that the governor was still busy with the provincial capital’s matter, and would not be free for the time being.
Baili Jia Jue silently wrote down a few words and indolently asked the servant to pass the note to Governor Chen.
The servant’s eyes quivered, as he did not understand how a private advisor from the provincial capital had the guts to order him around.
“Young Master, this… Old Master doesn’t simply accept anyone’s letter.” The servant had his reason for saying that. Ever since Governor Chen was promoted, many officers tried to befriend him through writing letters. If he received any of them, there would be more in the future.
When Helian Wei Wei heard him, she responded smilingly, “Don’t worry, your Old Master will definitely accept my private advisor’s letter.”
Baili Jia Jue tidied up his clothes, his handsome veneer was exuding an air of evilness.
Chen Liang swallowed his saliva nervously when he saw it, he did not think that a mere servant would spout such words. He forcefully smacked the back of his servant’s head, yelling, “Stop wasting time! Go now! If the letter is delivered late, you will face my dad’s punishment!”
The servant was not completely clueless and made a wild guess after hearing what his young master had said. Could it be that he has another secret identity?
Who is he? Is he higher-ranked than our Old Master?
The servant could not figure out the answer, but he still had to obey his young master. Hurriedly, he left to deliver the letter.
After everything was done, Helian Wei Wei decided not to stay any longer and prepared to return home. Fuping County may not be far from the provincial capital, but she had little time left to resolve the problem of the dry farmlands. Furthermore, the funds that the Retired Emperor mentioned were arriving shortly. The money could only be guarded safely if she was in Fuping County personally.
When Chen Liang heard that Helian Wei Wei was leaving, he bugged her to bring him along, “Boss, let me accompany you. If anything happens to you two inside my dad’s territory, he would deeply regret not seeing both of you today. Besides, I also want to help the people of Fuping County!”
Helian Wei Wei gave it a thought and finally said, “You may come along, but you must be careful not to reveal our identities.”
“No problem!” Just as Chen Liang promised them, he turned around and saw Baili Jia Jue’s ethereal countenance. He could not help but step aside with a humbled expression. If anyone saw this scene, they would be very surprised.
Everyone in the provincial capital knew that even though Young Master Chen was not unreasonable like the others, he was so short-tempered, not even his father could control him. Everyone around him greatly respected him.
And now…
Helian Wei Wei laughed evilly, letting Baili Jia Jue hold her, as she lowered her voice and said, “Is it fun to bully my little brother?”
“When did I bully him?” Baili Jia Jue gently brushed away the hair that was covering her face, clearly revealing her elegance.
Helian Wei Wei pouted and uttered, “When he saw you, he’s like a mouse that has encountered a cat.”
“That’s his problem.” Baili Jia Jue merely smiled a little.
Chen Liang was speechless at the sight of this…
Can you two be quieter when being all lovey-dovey!
I heard everything! Okay?
It was not an issue to bring Chen Liang along since Fuping County was still under the provincial capital’s governance. No matter how bold Magistrate Liao was, he would not dare to lay his hands on the governor’s second young master.
Helian Wei Wei thought that if Governor Chen could not make it in time, Chen Liang would be of use.
When she told Chen Liang her idea, his heart instantly fluttered with bubbling joy since he had never been regarded so importantly by his boss.
The students who practiced martial arts in the academy had always possessed a special kind of reverence for Helian Wei Wei.
It was not only because she was the boss of Wei Ze World, but more importantly, everyone else only focused on the young masters and mistresses in the Superior Compound while treating the rest with a lukewarm attitude.
However, Helian Wei Wei was different. She did not care which compound anyone was from, and would not marginalize them according to their backgrounds. She often explained the proper methods of using materials in order to perform lighter martial arts to them.
Even to this day, Chen Liang would still look at his boss starry-eyed.
He really did not expect Helian Wei Wei to become an official. After all, politics was not an easy career path.
He took dozens of tests but failed to pass any of them.
Who would’ve known that Boss would become a magistrate right after she graduated from the academy, she is truly impressive!
That’s why people say that children are too naive, they still don’t know how to use the back-door.
Helian Wei Wei caressed Chen Liang’s head and said, “It has been a tough journey for you to grow like this.”
“Governor Chen is the one who has it rough,” Baili Jia Jue casually interjected with snark.
Chen Liang was speechless…
Why do I feel like I’m constantly being teased?
It was almost dusk now.
The news of road construction in Fuping County traveled like wildfire throughout the provincial capital. Magistrate Liao was thrown into the spotlight, as officials from other counties begged to meet him. Even if they did not get a morsel of the prize, they could still use the chance to gain his favor. After all, he would surely be promoted when he finished the project. It would be wise to do it now rather than trudging to the Capital to meet him later.
Since Old Master Yan was Magistrate Liao’s long-time partner, his benefits were safely assured. Even Private Advisor Zhang was respected by people wherever he went.
He was holding a teapot when he saw Helian Wei Wei and the others walking into the yamen. He spoke loudly, “Our Lord Wei has returned after going to the provincial capital to raise funds for the villagers. How did it go? Did you meet anyone in the provincial capital?”
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him and merely smiled, without saying a word.
Private Advisor Zhang immediately knew the answer when he saw that only one more person came back with her. If Lord Wei had managed to meet anyone and received the money, she would not return in such a state. Someone would have at least accompanied her on her journey home.
Furthermore, he did not receive any letters from the provincial capital about any meetings. Thus, Lord Wei surely had not even scratched the surface in meeting them.
Private Advisor Zhang did not realize that Helian Wei Wei had not only obtained the money but also brought someone’s beloved son from the province. He thought that she returned with empty hands when he saw her and said sarcastically, “Sigh, that’s how life is sometimes. Not everything can be done by trying your best. Some doors would only open with the right connections. Lord Wei do not need to be depressed about this.”
Private Advisor Zhang poured some tea and sipped it arrogantly as he spoke, his gloating expression was utterly detestable.
Helian Wei Wei patiently responded to him, “Am I depressed?”
“Of course, I can tell.” Private Advisor Zhang put down the teapot.
Chen Liang thought to himself when he heard it. Who is this old man, why is he so arrogant?
Then, he heard Private Advisor Zhang opening his mouth again…
