Chapter 341 The Real Purpose

Zhang Juexia couldn't help but slow down his pace. The county magistrate's wife Liu Wanyue was Li Yingyue's aunt, and Li Yingyue had told her some things about her early years.

Liu Wanyue had lived a hard life in her early years and was very frugal in her daily life.

In Li Yingyue's words, it is good enough to have a house to live in, so how could she complain that the yard she lives in is small!

Besides, although Zhang Juexia has not been to the county government office recently, she did come here a while ago.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She stopped and asked sternly, "Who are you?"

Although the little maid was flustered, she pretended to be calm and replied, "See what you said, I am naturally the maidservant of the lady."

"I know all the girls around the Madam, don't you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow me, we're almost there."

The little maid reached out to pull Zhang Juexia, but Zhang Juexia cleverly avoided her move.

"Mrs. Ye is truly clever. You actually saw through this little trick."

Xu Yanchen jumped down from the rockery and said to the little maid with a dark face, "You can't even handle such a small matter. Why don't you get out of here right away?"

Zhang Juexia quickly stopped the little maid, "Want to leave? No way. You're really brave enough to pretend to be a maid in the magistrate's household."

Xu Yanchen winked at the maid while trying to make a move on Zhang Juexia, "Mrs. Ye, you are quite courageous. This young master likes you even more."

"Ah, ugh..."

"No, Mrs. Ye, why make things so unhappy just for a little maid?

I've checked a long time ago, and there are very few people here. You see, this is a rare opportunity for us to catch up, so why not seize it today!"

Zhang Juexia took advantage of Xu Yanchen's inattention and kicked him in the thigh. Xu Yanchen knelt on the ground in pain.

Zhang Juexia grabbed the corner of his clothes and ran forward.

"Quick, stop her, don't let her run away."

"Master, don't worry. She can't escape. I've locked the exit ahead."

"Hmph, not bad, it's still somewhat useful."

Sure enough, Zhang Juexia ran to the front exit and looked at the locked door, sweating nervously.

She banged on the door and shouted, "Help! Help! Help!"

Xu Yanchen reminded Zhang Juexia from behind, "Mrs. Ye, you can shout as loud as you want. If someone comes and sees us alone, it won't be good."

The little maidservant added fuel to the fire, "Then I'll say that it was Madam Ye who seduced Master Xu. Seeing that Master Xu was alone here, she insisted on getting married."

"Bullshit, shut your filthy mouth.

No one would believe this. My husband is not only handsome, but also a military scholar with a degree in military studies. Any one of these qualities is a hundred times better than you, Xu.

Unless I'm mentally ill, I wouldn't have such an idea.

As for you two, think about how to escape. Then I will accuse you of abducting decent women in the back hall of the county government office, and you will be in big trouble."

Xu Yanchen leaned closer to Zhang Juexia with a playful smile, "I didn't expect that Mrs. Ye would look so beautiful when she got angry.

I was right, a beauty is always a beauty."

Zhang Juexia raised his hand and swung it towards Xu Yanchen's face, but Xu Yanchen got there first. He grabbed Zhang Juexia's arm fiercely and said with a forced smile, "Mrs. Ye is a smart person. You must have heard the saying that a man of action is a hero!"

Zhang Juexia struggled, trying to scream again, but Xu Yanchen covered her mouth with his other hand. "Mrs. Ye, even in this situation, why haven't you learned your lesson? I've already told you, I've already found out about this place, and few people come here."

Zhang Juexia glared at Xu Yanchen fiercely, and then she became quiet in an instant. She lowered her eyes and looked around secretly.

Xu Yanchen was satisfied, "That's right, I rarely have the heart to touch beautiful women.

Mrs. Ye, let's make a long story short. I asked you to come here today for one thing. Just tell me the recipe for canned food and I will leave immediately without you having to chase me away.

I don’t remember what happened today.

Of course, if Mrs. Ye does not cooperate, I, Xu, will not show any mercy to her. There is no reason to send away a beauty who has been presented to me.

From now on, I’m afraid there will be no Mrs. Ye in this world.”

Zhang Juexia kicked Xu Yanchen's leg hard. Xu Yanchen smiled and said, "Don't bother with it. It's like you're tickling me. This way, I'll start to overthink it."

Zhang Juexia was unwilling to give up, so he stepped hard on Xu Yanchen's foot. Xu Yanchen immediately let go of the hand that was restraining Zhang Juexia and squatted on the ground, groaning.

When he stood up again, Xu Yanchen's expression was much more ferocious than before, "Mrs. Ye, the magistrate's wife's banquet is about to begin.

I don’t have time to waste talking to you anymore, if you know what’s good for you, tell me the canning secret recipe, otherwise…”

"Otherwise, what will happen?"

The magistrate's wife, Liu Wanyue, came rushing over with several yamen runners. Zhang Juexia seized the opportunity and quickly ran behind Liu Wanyue.

At this time, the closed door was also smashed open.

Li Yiran saw Zhang Juexia and ran over quickly, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Juexia shook his head.

Liu Wanyue circled around Xu Yanchen a few times. "Everyone says the Xu family has good upbringing, but I don't think it's that good. What's going on? You've learned to take things by force when others don't want to give them.

I think this is the true face of the Xu family!

Tell me, what do you want the canning secret recipe for?"

Xu Yanchen tried to argue, but several yamen runners came forward and pinned him to the ground. "You'd better be honest and tell the truth."

The little maid was also brought here.

Liu Wanyue pointed at Xu Yanchen and the little maid and said, "You Xu family members really don't take my master seriously. Come, take these two little thieves to the front yard and hand them over to the master for punishment."

Xu Yanchen shouted unconvincedly, "Madam Chen, even though you are the wife of the county magistrate, you also know the principle of fair competition!

I just asked Mrs. Ye for the canning recipe. Am I wrong?

Zhang Juexia quickly bowed to Liu Wanyue, "Madam, it was Xu Yanchen who threatened me."

"Juexia, I've seen what happened just now, and I will make the master give you an explanation.

The Xu family is so arrogant! They clearly know that I have a stake in this canned food business, yet they actually want to get involved. They are truly bullying me by taking advantage of their power."

Liu Wanyue glanced at Xu Yanchen with disdain and pointed at the bailiffs, "Hurry up and take him away. Tell the master to make sure he handles the case impartially."

After Xu Yanchen was taken away, Liu Wanyue asked Zhang Juexia about her well-being and said, "Juexia, it's all because of my poor care that you got scared. How about I have someone take you home first?"
