Chapter 627: No Matter Where You Look

"Kicking the door open, this is the first time I've seen such a visit." Xu Zhengping glanced at Zhuang Lianghong, "I'm afraid that Master Zhuang is not here to visit, but to cause trouble."

The tone was quite unfriendly, and Zhuang Lianghong could certainly hear Xu Zhengping's hostility.

However, Zhuang Lianghong didn't care. He just raised his chin, walked around Xu Zhengping, looked him up and down carefully, and sneered, "Whether you come to visit or to cause trouble, it has nothing to do with Lord Xu."

"If Lord Xu is sensible, he should leave now to avoid getting into trouble and losing his official position."

"You..." Xu Zhengping gritted his teeth.

"How am I?"

"Master Xu, there is no need to be so angry. Even if you really want to be angry, you should be angry at yourself for not living up to your expectations. Why is it that at such an old age, you are still just a small county magistrate?"

"It is said that a higher-ranking official can crush someone to death, but there is nothing we can do about it. Lord Xu is just a county magistrate. Lord Xu, do you think I am right?" Zhuang Lianghong sneered.

Xu Zhengping's face turned pale and then a little red.

Even though he was humiliated like this by Zhuang Lianghong, it was not that he did not dare to take him down, but Zhuang Qisheng was behind him.

Zhuang Qisheng was notorious for being a corrupt official. He often withheld rewards and subsidies from the court and enriched himself. Whenever there were favors from the court, they hardly ever reached the counties.

If we offend Zhuang Qisheng, I'm afraid the county will be even more troubled.

Xu Zhengping gritted his teeth, but in the end he did not vent his anger.

Seeing Xu Zhengping like this, Zhuang Lianghong glanced at Xu Zhengping with a little more pride, "It seems that Lord Xu also knows that he is just a small official, not worthy of me."

"Lord Xu is the county magistrate, an official appointed by the imperial court. However, no matter how high your father's official position is, you have no merit or fame. You are just a commoner. When ordinary people see an official, they should kowtow to him."

Zhuang Qingning walked over slowly and said quietly, "What's more, you broke into my county lord's mansion without permission, which is an even greater crime. You should be punished."

"A mere county lady, nothing but a peasant..." Zhuang Lianghong was about to sneer, but when he raised his eyes and saw Zhuang Qingning's appearance, his heart sank and then almost rose to his throat.

A fairy from heaven descends to earth!

In the past, I searched everywhere for it but couldn't find it, but now I get it without any effort.

The beautiful girl that he had been thinking about was actually none other than the Princess Ninghe.

You could say he is lucky. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His father is a prefect. Now he is old enough to get married, and the girl he likes is Princess Ninghe.

"It turns out to be the Ninghe County Lady." Zhuang Lianghong immediately put on a smile, nodded and bowed, "I am Zhuang Lianghong, nice to meet the Ninghe County Lady."

"We had a hasty farewell in Ying County before, and I thought I would never see County Lady Ninghe again. I never thought we would meet here again. It really is fate that County Lady Ninghe and I are together."

"Looking at your appearance, is your arm completely healed?" Zhuang Qingning said with a fake smile, "They say that once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten. I thought it was just a joke before, but I never thought it was true."

"But since Master Zhuang has forgotten the pain, I will let you think about it again."

"Come here, please entertain Master Zhuang."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mu and Su Ye both came out from the darkness, answered yes, and walked towards Zhuang Lianghong.

A gloomy face.

Zhuang Lianghong originally saw that there was only Zhuang Qingning and Xu Zhengping who did not dare to act rashly, and he thought that he was really lucky today. When he saw Su Ye who had defeated several of his servants in an instant with his own strength, he subconsciously stepped away.

Su Mu and Su Ye naturally did not give him any chance to escape. The two sisters worked together to beat Zhuang Lianghong into a pig's head, and also beat up the servants who heard the news and tried to protect Zhuang Lianghong.

"Girl, this guy refuses to change despite repeated admonitions and is still so arrogant and domineering. He should be severely punished." Su Mu suggested with a bow.

Zhuang Qingning nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "He is so proud of his status, and he is also relying on his father who holds a high position, that he can indulge his children to be like this. This Zhuang prefect is not a good person either, so he should be dealt with as well."

Zhuang Lianghong and Zhuang Qinglan were like this, and Zhuang Qisheng had come to her house earlier wanting to take some credit for her work, so Zhuang Qingning was extremely disgusted with Zhuang Qisheng.

"Send a letter to the capital, hand it to Jinnian, and explain the matter clearly."

"Besides, Zhuang Qisheng is not a good official. He knows that his son has encountered this situation. I am afraid that he will embarrass Lord Xu. During this period of time, you should treat Master Zhuang well and treat him with good food and drink."

Su Mu understood that they were asked to lock up Zhuang Lianghong temporarily to prevent him from going back and informing the authorities. Zhuang Qisheng was so angry that he did not dare to cause trouble for Zhuang Qingning, but instead went to make things difficult for Xu Zhengping.

"Yes, young lady, don't worry. I will definitely handle the matter properly." Su Mu and Su Ye agreed and hurriedly did what Zhuang Qingning instructed.

Zhuang Qingning and Xu Zhengping walked out of the gate of the county lady's mansion.

Because of what happened just now, Xu Zhengping was indeed a little annoyed that he was an honest official, but because there were too many ties and things to consider, he did not dare to make a prompt decision to deal with such a playboy.

All in all, his ability is limited, and at this age he is still just a county magistrate.

Even if one wants to be a good official, one still feels powerless.

This feeling really makes people feel uncomfortable and depressed.

The more Xu Zhengping thought about it, the more he sighed in his heart.

Zhuang Qingning seemed to see what he was thinking and smiled, "Master Xu, you don't have to worry about it. In my opinion, it is enough for a person to remember his original intention and stick to his principles."

“Try your best to do the biggest thing and live up to your conscience. Don’t think too much about other things. There are so many things to do, and not everything can be done or done well.”

Xu Zhengping was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "The county lady is right, but I thought too much."

He can do his best to do good things for the people with the limited power in his hands and do his job as a county magistrate well. There is no need to think about anything else.

"Because Lord Xu has a kind heart and is dedicated to the people, he thinks a lot. If it were a corrupt official, he would definitely not consider so much."

Zhuang Qingning smiled slightly and said, "I won't bother Master Xu with his work. I'll go take a look at the weaving workshop as well."

The weaving workshop business has always been booming, but Zhuang Yutian and Meng are under great psychological pressure because this is probably the first time they are doing such a big business.
