"Oh, how's Master Du? Has he tried to trip you up?"

Aunt Chi asked worriedly.

Her son always reported good news and never bad news in his letters, so how could she feel at ease?

"Given the intelligence and methods of our county magistrate, even if I wanted to trip him up, I wouldn't have the ability. Madam Chi overestimates me."

Suddenly, a skinny man emerged from behind the trees in the backyard. He was short and had a mustache; he looked sleazy no matter how you looked at him.

Master Du bowed to Old Master Chi and his wife, saying, "Greetings, sir and madam. I am Master Du, who has been driven to the brink of paralysis by your son's orders."

Mr. and Mrs. Chi had never met anyone who spoke like that before, and they were quite embarrassed.

However, after a brief pause, Old Man Chi replied, "Hello, Master Du, thank you for helping my son these past two years!"

"Erchuan, even though you're the county magistrate, you can't be this inhumane! How come you're almost driving this person to the brink of collapse? Didn't you just say that this person has elderly parents and young children to support? You..."

"Mother, don't listen to his nonsense!"

Chi Erchuan was both amused and exasperated.

I actually took it seriously.

But Master Du seemed to have seen a ray of light; he immediately ran to Aunt Chi's side and showered her with compliments:

"I see that the old lady has a rosy complexion and a full forehead, which is a sign of great wealth and nobility!"

Their son has become a county magistrate, and the family is wealthy; they are truly rich and powerful.

Aunt Chi believed it and laughed heartily: "Thank you for your kind words, Master Du."

"You charlatan, don't try to fool us. Father and Mother, first..."

"Hey, what's wrong with this little girl's face..."

Suddenly, Master Du jumped in front of Chi Tang, just about to...

"Bang!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Hong kicked him away!

Everyone: ...?
