Prefect: ...
What's the matter?!
But what?!
The former county magistrate sighed and continued, "Think about me, I haven't done anything bad!"
"It's just that he embezzled his subordinates' money!"
"In our position, who wouldn't be a little greedy? Who wouldn't want to make some money, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his box of silver and money was delivered. Looking at the box of silver, he almost fainted!
If he had known that the court would give him so much, why would he have been so greedy?!
The former county magistrate was so hateful!
If the prefect had not embezzled his money, how could he be like this!
How could he lose his official hat!
He stood up and said, "I'll have to trouble my uncle's guards to help me carry it. After all, this is a lot of silver!"

"I was the one who promoted him, so what if I took a little money from him?" The prefect frowned. "I just didn't expect the little princess would punish me so harshly for something like this."
"But there's no need to worry. I've returned all his money to him."
The prefect's wife heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. "It's good that you paid it back. Otherwise, I would always feel uneasy."
"Don't think too much. Communicate with Ruhua more often when you have time to see what the situation is. You should know that if I fall, it will not be good for her!"
"A good family will support her!"
"Yes." The prefect's wife agreed.
