As soon as Shen Qinglan arrived at the Government entrance, she was stopped by a Government Official.
"This is an important place. If you have grievances, beat the drum; otherwise, please leave."
Shen Qinglan bowed and said, "I'm here to see County Magistrate Pei; could you please let him know for me?"
Noticing she didn't say 'my lord,' but directly addressed Magistrate Pei, a constable approached, also bowing, "Miss, please reveal your identity."
"Shen Qinglan."
"Shen Qinglan?" The constable furrowed his brows, "Miss, please wait a moment, and I'll have someone inform the official."
"You," he casually pointed at a Government Official, "go and inform the official that a lady named Shen Qinglan is looking for him."
The Government Official responded and ran into the Government building.
Shen Qinglan waited for about half an hour before she saw County Magistrate Pei, surrounded by a group including Liu Shiye, grandly coming towards her.
"Ah, Miss Shen!"
