Wufu and the others were right. Ah Jiu's posture really aroused curiosity from the other party, and the person who came was the prefect named Zheng Kui.
Confirmed that Ah Jiu was indeed the imperial envoy coming from the Capital, as well as Prince Jin, Zheng Kui was so scared he stumbled backward and hastily sent someone to notify Marquis Xuanwu.

Marquis Xuanwu, dressed in court attire, respectfully greeted and inquired about Ah Jiu's well-being, informing him that a banquet and guest rooms had already been prepared at the residence, and invited Ah Jiu to move there.
Ah Jiu, rarely together with Wufu, certainly wouldn't go to some marquis' residence, naturally declining.
Marquis Xuanwu, having no other option, suggested a quiet villa, persuading both pleasurably and earnestly, to which Ah Jiu reluctantly agreed.
