Sheng Han stormed off in anger, and the atmosphere in the Li Family's front hall turned strange; yet just at this moment, the gatekeeper suddenly announced in a loud voice: "Director Yue Zhiyuan of the Qingzhou Prefecture Military Affairs Department has come to pay his respects."
Hearing the gatekeeper's announcement, the guests in the front hall were all taken aback. Qingzhou Prefecture wasn't part of Jiangnan Dao—what relationship could this Director of the Qingzhou Prefecture Military Affairs Department have with the Li Family?
However, the guests' shock was far from over.
"Prefect Jiang Zheng of Jizhou Prefecture has come to pay his respects."
"Prefect Zhang Liang of Anqing Prefecture has come to pay his respects."
"Deputy Hall Chief Qiu Rufeng of the Jiannan Path Military Affairs Hall has come to pay his respects."
...
The string of announcements left the guests in the front hall unable to stay seated.
