"And you are?"

Shao Qingyuan greeted him and said, "I’m Shao Qingyuan, the Imperial Physician Shao who sent the invitation this morning."

As expected, the prefecture magistrate’s expression turned a little ugly. He sized up Shao Qingyuan and said with a hint of mockery, "Imperial Physician Shao is so young. Looks like you’re quite capable."

Everyone present could hear the double meaning in his words.

Bai Hang did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had also heard about the conflict between the prefecture magistrate and the imperial physician sent by the Imperial Court last year.

It was said that the imperial physician had almost caused a huge disaster because of his arrogance, preventing the cowpox vaccination from being successfully carried out.

It was only after prefecture magistrate Xun spent a lot of effort and paid a lot of price that there was a turn of events. It did not cause panic and chaos among the commoners.

Because of this, the prefecture magistrate even wrote a letter to the capital and questioned Song Dejiang, blaming him for sending an unreliable imperial physician to Lingzhou Prefecture.

Song Dejiang felt wronged as well. The imperial physician was sent by the imperial court. He was helpless and did not expect it.

Fortunately, there was Divine Physician Bai in the Lingzhou Prefecture. He had abundant medical resources and the doctors here were all capable. Therefore, they were able to turn danger into safety.

However, the words imperial physician from the capital had obviously traumatized the prefecture magistrate.

Bai Hang hurriedly explained with a smile, "Uncle Xun, this is Shao Qingyuan, and this is his wife, Gu Yundong. Back then, when Bai Yang was in danger in Qing’an Prefecture, it was Yundong who saved him."

The prefecture magistrate was stunned. Bai Yang was his great-grandson. Of course, he knew what had happened back then. Sometimes, when he thought about it, he still felt a lingering fear.

Now that he heard that Bai Yang’s savior was right in front of him, the prefecture magistrate could not care less. He stared at Gu Yundong with a burning gaze. "Are you the Sister Gu that Yangyang mentioned?"

"I am."

"Aiyo, then it’s really like a flood rushing into a dragon king’s temple. A family doesn’t know a family anymore. If you had said that you knew Yangyang, I wouldn’t have rejected you. Why did you have to send a post as an imperial physician?"

Shao Qingyuan was speechless. It was his fault.

How would he know that he shouldn’t use the identity of an official when dealing with the prefecture magistrate??

After Bai Hang introduced them to each other, he took a sip of tea and got to the point.

"Uncle Xun, we’re here mainly because Qingyuan and Gu Yundong have a question for you. If it’s convenient, can you help the child resolve his confusion?"

The prefecture magistrate was a little surprised. "Oh? You have a question for me? What is it? Ask away. As long as it doesn’t involve confidential matters, I will definitely tell you everything."

"It’s not confidential. It’s something personal," Shao Qingyuan said.

Bai Hang immediately stood up and said to the prefecture magistrate, "Then you guys chat first. I’ll bring Madam around the residence. She hasn’t been here for many years. The changes in this residence are too great. I’ll show her around."

He was avoiding suspicion.

The prefecture magistrate didn’t mind and immediately called the butler over. "You entertain Nephew Bai."

The butler left with Bai Hang and Second Madam.

There were only three people left in the huge front hall.

Only then did the prefecture magistrate look at Shao Qingyuan and the other man. "Ask away."

Shao Qingyuan had no intention of deliberately avoiding Bai Hang, but since he had left, he did not stop him.

Now that he was facing the prefecture magistrate who was much closer, Shao Qingyuan finally relaxed a lot.

"Prefecture Magistrate Xun, do you still remember the second son of the Gu family, Gu Jingyuan, who was exiled to Linxun Island more than 20 years ago?"

Gu Jingyuan??

The prefecture magistrate paused and nodded hesitantly. "I remember. Why? Do you have a relationship with the Gu family and want to save them?"
