Chapter 269

"I can't leave..."

"What are you talking about? You're not going to default on your debt, are you? I'm telling you..."

"Look over there."

"What's wrong with looking there...hiss! Hello, sister-in-law! Goodbye, sister-in-law!" The woman in men's clothes shrank her neck and turned to leave.

"Why are you leaving? We haven't seen each other for so long, let's get together before we go." The woman in black took a few steps behind the woman in men's clothing and gently placed her black-polished fingernails on her shoulders. It seemed like she was not using any force, but it made her unable to move. "You are his dearest sister. If I don't treat you well, he will be unhappy."

Wow… The crowd around them quickly entered a state of watching the show. Even the two criminals being escorted away by the soldiers unconsciously twisted their necks to look in the direction of the three people, and their bodies tried to lean towards the center of the Bagua. The soldiers almost couldn't hold them back: "What are you doing! Walk properly!"

"Oh, it's already this late, please let me take a look, sir, or there will be no fun to watch later!"

"Really? Then I can't let you watch it anymore! Get out of here!" The soldier spat at the bad guy and increased his strength to drag him away: Just because you are suspected of being a spy, I can't let you have a good time!

Bei Qiao stood in the crowd, watching the woman in black first pin down the woman in men's clothing, then take the man in the purple dress's hand, curl her lips, lean over and whisper a few words. No one knew what she said, but the woman in men's clothing suddenly changed expression, pointing at Bei Qiao and cursing, "What's wrong with my brother wearing women's clothing? He's wearing women's clothing too! You wealthy families, just because you have money and power, you can just treat us common people like clowns? You..."

"Sister!" The man in the purple skirt held the woman in men's clothing's mouth and shook his head. He sighed and bowed to the woman in black. "Please forgive me, my little sister has just been spoiled by my family. I don't have any bad intentions."

"So what if I don't forgive her?" The woman in black chuckled. "You waited until she finished cursing before covering her mouth. You have a lot of opinions about me..."

"I dare not!"

"You don't dare? I think you dare." The black-clothed woman sneered and suddenly slapped him: "He's just a lover, and you dare to rebel? If you have the guts, go home. This county lady doesn't need a handsome face!"

Oh, this is a county lady... The onlookers looked at each other in confusion: Can we still watch this excitement... Let's take a look first?

The man in the purple dress didn't look particularly strong, and the woman in black was slapping him with considerable force. If the woman in men's clothing hadn't been there to support him, he would have been sent flying. Covering his swollen face, the man in the purple dress slowly raised his head. His messy hair and slightly red eyes gave him a rather pitiful look. "County Lady, a forced melon isn't sweet."

"No wonder he can be a concubine, he is so handsome..." An old lady who is old and seems to have difficulty hearing is whispering loudly to her best friend beside her.

"Of course not! The county lady won't like such an ugly person!" The old lady's best friend answered in the same loud voice.

"Hey, what was that little girl in men's clothes saying just now while pointing at this pretty girl and mumbling? Did you hear that?"

"I really didn't hear it clearly..."

"Grandma! She said this pretty girl is a man dressed as a woman!" The little girl following the two old ladies shouted loudly.

"What? A man dressed as a woman? Isn't that nonsense?" The old lady slowly rolled her eyes at the woman dressed as a man, afraid that she couldn't see it.

"Exactly. Just because she's prettier than she is, and looks better than her brother in women's clothes, doesn't mean you can slander her. Who can't tell she's a grown woman?" The old lady's friend put her hands behind her back, scrutinizing Bei Qiao. "Even though she's wearing a cone hat, this outfit, this figure, these hands, this neck... how can she be a man? Ting, do you know what this is?"

"I know, it's jealousy!"

The woman in men's clothing was so angry that she almost abandoned her brother, who was unable to stand steadily, and rushed over to point at the two old ladies and the little girl and cursed loudly. After being given a glare by the county lady, she gritted her teeth and endured it. She only moved her mouth silently and cursed silently in her heart: Two chattering old things! A tactless little thing!

"Granny, she's glaring at you."

"What? Oh, it really is! Ting girl, do you know why she looks so ugly now?"

"Appearance is determined by the mind?"

"That's right!"

Woman in men's clothing: Did I kill your entire family in my past life? I just said one sentence, and it wasn't even directed at you, but you already have ten more waiting for me... How ridiculous!

The woman in men's clothing and the two old ladies glared at each other. The county lady paid no attention to the excitement before her, and only responded to the man in the purple skirt: "Force? You think I'm breaking the law? If you want to leave, just get out. As long as you give me a heads up, no one will stop you! Don't worry, once you leave, even if your family members personally tie you up and bring you back, begging me for another chance, I won't accept it."

The county lord only considered the appearance of her male companions, and her requirements for character were so low that they could not betray the dynasty. She was not surprised to meet such an overconfidant. She only cared about the face, not the heart. When faced with the other party's ugly face, she didn't even want to waste the extra effort to satirize it, because others had done it for her.

"...The county lady is joking." The man in the purple skirt gritted his teeth and his face froze: Oh no, it seemed like his teeth were loosened by the fan and were about to fall out.

"Just kidding, ha..." The county lady sneered and winked: "How good can the family tradition be for someone who can give birth to such a thing?" He thinks he is noble and upright, living off his wife and having such a strong back that he wants everyone in the world to know about it. He can treat it as fun once or twice, but if he does it too often, it will really make people impatient."

Seeing the county lady wink at the side, the woman in men's clothing took a step back, holding her brother's arm, and looked nervously at the burly man standing behind the county lady. Unexpectedly, it was not the burly man who came out of the crowd, but the two old ladies who had been whispering loudly before.

"You, what are you doing?" The woman in men's clothing saw that it was a white-haired old lady who came out. She suddenly felt confident and immediately stepped sideways to half-block her brother, chin raised, and put on the posture of a hero who saved the beauty. It wasn't that their relationship was particularly close, but mainly because her brother said that after this was over, he would give her a shop as a dowry. "Don't think...ah!"

The two old ladies who easily subdued the man: Young people nowadays do not follow the right path and are not active.

The old lady concentrated on collecting the runaway lover and retrieving his belongings that did not belong to him. As for the clothes he was wearing, which looked not cheap, the old lady did not touch them. The order she received was to recover the property, not to humiliate the lover.

As for the county lord, although she stood alone, if you thought you could take advantage of her because she was alone, you would be in big trouble. As a county lord with a love history rich enough to support a large number of storytellers, she had caused so many troubles and had not been demoted because of her excellent military merits.

"Are you from the Qin family or..." The county lady didn't feel like making eye contact with the mistress who was already planning to flee. However, after talking to the woman in men's clothing, she did become interested in Bei Qiao. It wasn't the same interest she had for the mistress, but she felt that this person was very pleasing to the eye. She looked like a good person with a smooth life, a perfect place to dump her emotional garbage.

Bei Qiao raised his hand to rub the tip of his nose and saluted the county lady. "My name is Qiao." Strange, why does it feel... so subtle? Who's making fun of me?

"Oh, are you in the mood for a drink?"

"Uh, no..."

"If you don't like drinking, tea is fine." You have to come even if you don't want to!

Bei Qiao: "..." Does this mean I have to go? That's all.

Bei Qiao: "Thank you..."

"No need to be polite, just tell me whether you are coming or not." The county lady waved her hand.

"Come." Bei Qiao pursed her lips, feeling even more subtle.

"Catch her!" Just as Bei Qiao was about to leave with the county lord, a figure suddenly appeared from nowhere, passed directly between the county lord and Bei Qiao, and was then held down by the two men on the left and right.

"Oh wow, pretty quick." Bei Qiao used his free hand to tug at the sleeve of a young girl who had appeared out of nowhere, and pulled the jade pendant he had just stolen from her fingertips. "It's not nice to take something without asking." Perhaps it was the atmosphere, but Bei Qiao unconsciously ended his words with an interjection: I've been tempted, but it wasn't intentional... Hmm? This little girl looked so familiar. Wasn't she the younger sister of the scammer brother and sister who were in the government office yesterday?

"Take her down." The county lady yanked her bracelet back from the girl's other hand. When Bei Qiao released her grip, she twisted it and thrust it forward. Before the girl could steady herself and continue her escape, the elderly women who were dealing with the cross-dressing siblings freed a leg and laid her flat on the ground, stepping on her from the front and back.

The natives who were originally preparing to queue up to leave the city were like: Wow, should I leave? Or should I wait a little longer?

"What are you looking at? If you want to leave, hurry up!" The soldiers also wanted to watch the excitement, but they were professionals. It was just that the people leaving the city were not so professional. Those at the back wanted to leave, but those in front were reluctant to leave, which almost caused a large-scale traffic jam and stampede.

The onlookers were willing to let those behind them pass them, but there were already several lines at the city gate, and the space was limited, so there was no room for extra people. In the end, those who really wanted to watch the excitement simply gave up queuing and ran to the back of the line, craning their necks to watch the excitement. The people who wanted to watch the excitement but wanted to leave the city more were left behind, being driven out of the city gate by the soldiers, looking back every few steps, and were not allowed to come back for another look.

The county lady had subordinates to handle things, so she didn't need to stay here and watch the fun. After confirming that Beiqiao was willing to have tea with her, she took Beiqiao directly to the teahouse. She didn't want to stay in this noisy place for a moment, and didn't even look at the lover again.

County Lady: Next time you should raise your standards when selecting people. Her face and figure are really nice, but her brain is so stupid that it makes my stomach ache!
