Madame Li was left in a cell at the County Office, while the people from the War Prince Residence took Ye Jiu back with them and instructed others to pay extra attention to her. This indeed proved that the girl had not lied—she was really sold to Nanchang.
It was a stroke of luck for her, too. What should have been a devastating disaster somehow turned into favor from the War Prince Residence, changing her misfortune into good fortune. She was truly a lucky girl.
Steward Qian looked at the County Magistrate, hesitating before speaking, "Magistrate, why are you so polite to these country bumpkins?"
Without even lifting his head, the County Magistrate replied, "This girl called Ye Jiu merited instructions from above for us to take good care of her. You just need to understand that we can't offend her and must continue to provide attention in the future. Report any major incidents concerning her immediately."
"Yes," Steward Qian answered cautiously.
