Zhou Anran fell into a momentary trance the moment she heard her father's words. Her heart pounded against her chest.
"Ran'er?" Zhou Wenzhi called out again with a tinge of concern in his voice. He thought that she must have been anxious.
After all, from birth until she got married and had several kids, his eldest daughter never had dealings with officials like Magistrate Xu.
Zhou Anran snapped out of her daze. She took a deep breath and composed herself. "Father, when is it?"
"Tomorrow, after lunch." Zhou Wenzhi answered. "Are you alright with this? If not…"
"I am fine, Father. I will come!" She hurriedly replied. "I believe that Magistrate Xu is a good person."
No one could see her clenching her right hand. She was actually really nervous, partly because she might be able to see the man who had a similar face to her husband; the other reason was because she already had a vague guess why the Magistrate had called Shun Zi over.
