This man really recognized her. He even recognized her when she wore men's clothes. This was truly crazy!

She did not reply, but her pace was much faster.

When he finally returned to the courtyard, the man behind her was no longer following her. However, Liu Wei still felt that he was looking at her.

"In any case, Xiaoli doesn't like people that Father doesn't like either."

He did not know why, but when Xiaoli called him "Father", Liu Wei suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Who would've thought that his father would actually appear.

Thinking about it, Liu Wei did not seem to be troubled, wasn't it just a one-night stand? Why is it so complicated!

Ancient times were troublesome!

… ….

During dinner time, Liu Wei brought Xiaoli to the restaurant. She did not want to eat together with the man.

Before going to the restaurant, she went to the inn and sent a letter to Qujiang County.

After exiting the inn, he entered the opposite restaurant.

This restaurant was the only restaurant in Fu Ping County that could serve noodles. It was dinner time and there were quite a few people in the restaurant. There were no seats available on the first floor of the restaurant.

The waiter called them up to the second floor. Who would have known that once they got up there, Liu Wei completely understood how to write the words "enemy's path is narrow".

Looking at the handsome man sitting on the window seat, her face hardened and she turned to leave.

But when she turned around, a middle-aged man with no beard blocked her path: "Mr.Liu, my master has prepared a meal, please enjoy the meal for me."

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, she recognized this person, this was one of the three suspects from yesterday. Yesterday, they returned from the Li Family Village, and there was no one else in the yamen, so the three suspects disappeared without a trace.

The yamen runner woke up, saying that he had been knocked unconscious. The county magistrate was furious and wanted to arrest him, but when he remembered that the three of them weren't the culprits, and the incident with Li Yong had annoyed him, he left them behind.

He thought that the three of them should have left, but who would have thought that they would actually appear in Fu Ping County in a swagger?

Liu Wei looked at the man in front of her, her expression calm. "I don't know your master!"

"We'll get to know each other when we meet." The middle-aged man was neither servile nor overbearing. It was as though if she didn't go, he wouldn't let her go.

Liu Wei frowned, but at the end, she decided that she had to eat anyway, so it would be good if someone invited him.

Satisfied, the middle-aged man led her to a private room.

At the door, the middle-aged man knocked and called out, "Master."

After a while, an old male voice came from inside. "Everyone, come in."

When the door opened, Liu Wei saw that the table was full of dishes. A well-dressed, graceful and elderly man was seated at the seat of honor, with a face full of wrinkles, yet there was a smile on his face.

"He's coming."

Liu Wei nodded slightly. "Old man."

"Come over and sit."

Liu Wei held his son's hand and walked in. Liu Xiaoli recognized the old man, she had met him at the court yesterday, his pink and tender face was filled with confusion, as if he did not understand why the old man was being so polite and treating them to a meal.

"Father..." He gently called out and tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes.

Liu Wei held his son's hand, carried him up and placed him on a chair, then sat down beside him.

Seeing him so relaxed, the old man was not courteous at all. The smile in his eyes deepened as he said, "Please forgive me for hastily inviting you, Mister."

"This old man is in a serious situation. I wonder what business do you have with me?"

The old man waved his hand. "Let's talk about this slowly and start with the chopsticks."

Liu Wei was polite on the surface, but he remained vigilant in his heart. In fact, he had already decided yesterday that there was something wrong with this old man, whether it was her attitude, demeanor, or the smile on her face.

It was as if, even though the other party did not do anything, Liu Wei felt that this person was not simple!

There was no reason to think so, so Liu Wei decided to take this as a woman's sixth sense.

The dishes ordered by this old man were all extremely expensive, at least in Fuping County, they could be considered the best.

However, the old man didn't eat much. He only ate three mouthfuls of each dish. Some of the dishes were put down after taking a bite.

The middle-aged servant stood right next to him, waiting on him.

As Liu Wei ate, she looked and stared at the food in shock for a while.

Her fingers moved slightly, and the hand holding the chopsticks felt somewhat numb.

"Why isn't the Mr.Liu eating anymore? Is the food not suitable for its taste?"

The old voice sounded out again, causing Liu Wei to barely suppress the waves in her heart, she put down her chopsticks and maintained her composure: "The food is very good, it's just that at night, I have never eaten much."

Liu Xiaoli and his mother's thoughts were linked. Seeing his mother let go of the chopsticks, he put them down and obediently placed her hands on her knees, sitting upright and upright.

The smile in the old man's eyes did not waver as he leaned back on his chair and sighed, "Mister is smart enough to see through this."

Liu Wei thought, this was most likely to be done in a showdown …

At first, it was only a guess, but this time, Liu Wei was completely sure of it.

Liu Wei pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and said: "This old man is being presumptuous, but the general outside, is he the person who followed by your side yesterday?"

The old man smiled even more and gave a signal to the middle-aged servant beside him.

The middle-aged servant bowed and opened the door to the private box. He then called out to the outside, "Third Young Master, the Old Master has invited you in."

Following that, Liu Wei looked at the man that she did not want to see the most. She had a tall and slender figure with a charming face.

The last bit of anticipation in Liu Wei's heart shattered, she was unable to describe the feeling in her heart.

The middle-aged servant closed the door and returned to the old man's side. Liu Wei muttered to herself for a moment, then looked at the middle aged servant: "This eunuch, how should I address you?"

Liu Wei mentioned the word "eunuch" as a last resort.

The other party merely lowered his eyes, and lightly replied: "This servant is Qi Fu."

Liu Wei's heart had completely collapsed. She barely managed a smile: "So it's Eunuch Qi. Greetings."

As Liu Wei spoke, she stood up and bowed deeply towards the old man in the seat of honor, "This lowly official, Qujiang County, greets Your Majesty. If this happens, His Majesty will be wearing plain clothes, this lowly official will dare to not kneel and kowtow, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Liu Wei didn't know if she was really too unlucky or was too lucky to run into the emperor by chance in the backwater of Fu Ping County.

The old man merely raised his hand in a friendly manner, "It's alright. This Emperor would like to privately interview you so that you don't say anything. First, sit down."

Now, Liu Wei would not sit down no matter what.

She stealthily glanced at Rong Ling, thinking, could it be that this person has already reported the matter of her being a girl to the emperor?

"Ah Ling, did you tell that matter to Mr.Liu?"

Liu Wei's heart suddenly tightened.
