Chapter 480 Fiance

He wanted to enter the mansion, but was blocked by two yamen guards: "Who are you? How dare you trespass on the public office?"

Song Ning didn't want to get entangled with him, so he clasped his fists and said: "I'm Song Ning, I want to see Xia Yuanqiu, the governor of the government office, and I hope you two can inform me."

The two yamen servants exchanged glances, one of them said: "There is no such person as Xia Yuanqiu in our government yamen."

Song Ning said again: "Xia Yuanqiu is Bai Yi, she is my fiancée, so I came here to meet you, I hope you two can make it easier for me."

Seeing this, the yamen servant said, "Come in with me."

Song Ning was overjoyed, and said that Yuan Qiu deliberately ordered the yamen servant, and then he explained his purpose to his face and invited him in.

Unexpectedly, the yamen servant brought Song Ning directly to the Qianya study. Chen Mingjie was writing a memorial to the imperial court. When he saw Song Ning coming, he was startled.

He had seen Zhu Yan from afar in the capital, Zhu Yan and Song Ning in front of him had an eight-point resemblance, especially their eyes, they were exactly the same.

Song Ning walked in slowly, looked around, but didn't see Xia Yuanqiu, so he couldn't help frowning: "I want to see Yuan Qiu, who are you?"

Chen Mingjie put down his writing brush, stood up and looked at Song Ning, who was far away from him, clasped his fists and said, "I am ordering Chen Mingjie, may I ask your Excellency?"

It turned out that he was the county magistrate of Nantai County, and he looked familiar.

"I'm Song Ning, I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Chen Mingjie nodded, waved his hand to one side, and said, "Please sit down."

Seeing his appearance, Song Ning made it clear that he had something to say, so he went to the guest seat beside him and sat down.

Chen Mingjie raised his voice: "Come here, serve tea!"

Song Ning waved his hand: "No need, I just want to see my fiancée Xia Yuanqiu as soon as possible, and I'm not in the mood to drink tea with you here."

Chen Mingjie said with a smile: "If Xia Yuanqiu is really your fiancée, what's the difference if we meet sooner or later? Why are you in a hurry?"

Song Ning frowned slightly, and said in displeasure, "What did you say?"

Chen Mingjie was not to be outdone, and stared back at him: "Is it not clear to you what I said?"

Song Ning looked at Chen Mingjie and suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with Pingtung County Magistrate Chen Liwen?"

Chen Mingjie smiled and said: "That's my father, but because of the plague, my father is no longer the county magistrate, but the governor of Dongtai."

No wonder it looked so familiar, it turned out to be Chen Liwen's son, there was indeed a bit of resemblance between the two of them.

But when he was in Pingtung County, this Chen Mingjie didn't show up, and he might not have known Xia Yuanqiu, but he knew the truth from what he said.

"Do you know Yuan Qiu?" Song Ning asked.

Chen Mingjie smiled: "I knew Yuan Qiu before you, before you Zhu Yan, and my fate with her was before you."

Song Ning shook his head: "I don't believe it, if that's the case, why didn't you disappear when you were in Pingtung that day?"

"I was in the capital at that time, and I didn't know about the crisis in Pingtung. I learned about it from my father's letter after the fact. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, but I want to ask you, why pretend to be Yuan Qiu's fiancé?"

Song Ning sneered, and looked back at Chen Mingjie: "Why? Just like why you knew Yuan Qiu's identity but pretended not to know it, let her live here under the false name of Bai Yi, what's your intention?"

Chen Mingjie was speechless, Mo Bo was right, he and Song Ning were the same, one cheated, the other pretended not to know, their purpose was the same, there was no difference.

Chen Mingjie gritted his teeth and said, "I missed her once, this time, I will never let go."
