In less than two quarter-hours, Jiang Hu, Wei Ziang, and Jiang Wei, the trio of father and sons, returned swiftly enough to surprise everyone.
They had thought that since the County Magistrate arrived, it would take at least half an hour.
"Brother Hu, why did the County Magistrate come?"
If it were a decade ago, mentioning the County Magistrate would certainly cause tension and fear. But now, they've even met the Emperor and Empress; what's a County Magistrate?
"He didn't say much, just knew we were here and came by to pay his respects. By the way, he also sent some gifts, but I didn't see them."
Jiang Hu pointed behind him, indicating the servants holding them.
Jiang Wei still looked confused. He went out for a while and came back without even noticing what his father and the County Magistrate discussed.
