Qi Yunshan arrived in a hurry with his men, followed by a large group of armed guards who surrounded Qi Yuanwei.
"Young Master, don't be impulsive!" The old butler was half-dead with worry. He had been so concerned for the young master. Of all people to provoke, why did he have to provoke Madam Mo? Wasn't he just courting death?
Qi Yuanwei took a deep breath: "Who are you?"
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to ask such questions?"
"Exactly! Don't you even know who you are? Madam Mo is under the protection of my governor. Are you out of your mind?"
"..." Mo Qingcheng was on the verge of tears. Big brother, do you want to ruin this lady's life?
Qi Yuanwei's face was extremely ugly. He never dreamed that this would happen. Why am I always the one who gets hurt?
The old butler was on the verge of tears: "Young Master, safety is paramount." At this critical juncture, if the young master were to die, even a hundred heads wouldn't be enough to atone for his sins…
"What are you doing here? Magistrate Qi, are you trying to fabricate your achievements?" Qi Yunshan's icy gaze sent chills down one's spine.
Qi Yunshan clasped his hands in a fist salute: "This subordinate dares not."
Mo Qingcheng stood aside watching the commotion: "Lord Qi, you've misunderstood. The magistrate came to deliver silver. He was just joking to test my courage... Don't you agree, magistrate?"
"..." Qi Yuanwei was caught in a dilemma, unable to admit it or deny it. He was truly in a bind.
"What, is the magistrate still considering how much silver to award?" Mo Qingcheng continued to dig a hole.
"no!"
"..." The old butler was in tears. Why was it always his young master who got hurt? He stepped into a pit without even realizing it. He had seen stupid people, but he had never seen anyone this stupid.
I wonder if this emotional intelligence is inherited from his father.
Qi Yuanwei was so angry he almost died from bleeding from all seven orifices. How did he end up with such a meddlesome person? Wouldn't it be better to serve under the Imperial Inspector?
No, could it be that they came for Madam Mo's looks?
"Hmph! Watch me not file a complaint?" Qi Yuanwei, self-righteous and believing he had grasped the essence of the matter, flashed a furious glint in his eyes. The old butler was startled. "Young Master, isn't life good enough? Why can't you give Madam Mo a green light, a favor?"
My silly young master, I don't know whose rumors he listened to, isn't he ruining his future?
Mo Qingcheng smiled faintly at Qi Yuanwei: "On behalf of all the villagers of Nanping Village, I thank you for your generous gift, sir!"
"Hmph, you'd better not try anything funny!" The governor can't possibly have people watching this place every second.
Qi Yunshan frowned: "Madam Mo, my master said that anyone who dares to be disrespectful will be sent directly to the government dungeon, including government officials. Before leaving, he entrusted the imperial sword to me for safekeeping, which allows for execution first and reporting later..."
Mo Qingcheng raised an eyebrow: "Thank you, Lord Qi. Thank you, Magistrate."
Qi Yuanwei gritted his teeth: "Steward, go get the silver, five hundred taels."
"The magistrate is such a kind person!" Mo Qingcheng smiled as she took the silver and put it into her sleeve.
Everyone: "..."
This deserves applause; the style has gone completely off track...
Qi Yuanwei came with a large army, but left in a rage, losing both his wife and his troops.
Li Changgeng, Liu Cuihua, and the others were very worried. They opened their mouths, but hesitated to speak.
“Village chief, sister-in-law, kindness is often taken advantage of. Remember, we won’t do anything immoral or murderous, but we also can’t let others bully us.” Mo Qingcheng said earnestly, “Some people will take advantage of us for their own selfish reasons!”
Liu Cuihua nodded. "Mo Niangzi is a capable woman..."
Bai Yueniang and Bai Laodie weren't too worried. Sister Mo was clever and mischievous, full of bad ideas. She could fight and talk, and few could beat her.
