Chapter 646: Chapter 646 Mister Qi Indeed Came
Chapter 646 -646 Mister Qi Indeed Came
Shu Yu said that Lord Qi would come today, and it was already past noon, so he wasn’t sure if he had arrived yet.
Madam Hou was considering if she should take leave to visit Righteous Dao Village.
As she pondered this matter, she inevitably became distracted, not only slowing her work but also nearly overturning a basket filled with soil.
The disturbance quickly drew the attention of the guard officers.
One of them approached and scolded her, “What are you doing? Are you trying to slack off? If you don’t get back to work, do you really believe I won’t kill you?”

“Who are you planning to kill?” suddenly came an unfamiliar voice from behind.
The officer turned around and saw a man in strong attire, expressionless, with an extremely imposing aura.
The officer was stunned for a moment, and his arrogance instantly subsided.
The man glanced at him, then turned his head to look toward a carriage not far behind.
The officer followed his gaze and, upon seeing the emblem on the carriage, his face turned pale and he immediately knelt down, “I did not know of your arrival, Lord, please forgive my lack of welcome.”
The carriage stopped, and two men came out.
The one in the front wore an official uniform, exuding a sharp and spirited demeanor.
The one behind was dressed in casual clothes, looking gentle and courteous with a kindly face.
The two men walked up to the others; when Madam Hou saw the man behind, her eyes widened in shock, and she exclaimed, “Qi, Old Master Qi?”
Upon hearing this, the officer thought, this prisoner actually knows someone in the governor’s entourage?
Qi Chan smiled at Madam Hou and nodded, “I didn’t expect to see you again.”
He introduced to Madam Hou, “This is Lord Cheng, the governor.”
Madam Hou was startled and quickly knelt down with her daughter, respectfully greeting Lord Cheng.
However, her heart was even more convinced by Shu Yu’s words; Shu Yu was right, Lord Qi indeed worked under a significant official.
Hearing this, the other prisoners hastened to kneel as well.
Lord Cheng asked everyone to rise, “There’s no need for such formalities, I am just here to take a look.”
He stood on the slope, surveyed the area, and then delivered a speech that was both reassuring and motivating. After asking some questions and inspecting the progress made on the land reclamation, he nodded in satisfaction and dismissed everyone.
Qi Chan followed behind Lord Cheng as they left, and Madam Hou bit her lip, about to speak, when a guard in strong attire told her, “Come with me.”
Madam Hou, startled, quickly followed.
The other prisoners watched from a distance with envy.
The Shu family, who were far away, didn’t notice at first, but as the talking grew louder, they heard that Madam Hou seemed to know the governor.
The rumor reached their ears somewhat distorted.
For a moment, the Shu family hadn’t thought of Lord Qi at all.
Madam Hou held Sixth Young Lady’s hand and cautiously followed the guard to a nearby tea house.
The tea house wasn’t large, just a temporary resting spot for the officers overseeing the work.
Lord Cheng and Qi Chan were sitting inside, waiting for Madam Hou and her daughter.
As soon as Madam Hou entered, she quickly knelt down again in front of them.
Lord Cheng was quite easy to talk to; after observing Madam Hou for a while, he asked her to stand.
“Are you the Madam Hou whom Mister Qi mentioned as having helped him on the road?”
Aunt Hou, standing by the side, hurriedly replied, “My Lord, that was merely a coincidence. It was due to Old Master Qi’s great fortune that he avoided disaster.”
