When County Magistrate Zhang returned home, he was so furious that he threw the ornaments on the table to the ground with a loud bang.
Madam Liu looked at this scene and felt very annoyed. She turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop!" His voice was cold.
Liu slowly turned around and bowed slightly: "Master, I will go to the kitchen to prepare some snacks for you!"
County Magistrate Zhang stared at her coldly, "No need, let's discuss Hao'er's marriage first!"
He wanted to take advantage of the time when he was still the county magistrate to quickly arrange the marriage for his eldest son.
"Oh? Isn't the master interested in Yue Niang's eldest daughter?" She said in an extremely sarcastic tone.
My heart was full of curses: What a hypocrite, he calls it arranging his son's marriage, but who knows if he is still obsessed with Shen Yue Niang?
"Ahem... Tomorrow, you go and give this note to Yue Niang!" He suddenly remembered that he had beaten Jia Fugui a few days ago and felt a little embarrassed.
"No need, I've already returned to the capital!"
One sentence made him explode.
"What? When did it happen? Why haven't I heard Yue Niang mention it?"
Liu couldn't hold it in any longer. "Master, do I need to report where I go to? She's not a suspect!"
County Magistrate Zhang then realized the mockery in his wife's eyes. "You are so soft-hearted! Hao'er is uneducated and doesn't like to study. What future does he have in this life? Yue Niang only has Ruxue as a daughter. She needs a generous dowry. Then, Hao'er will never have to worry about food and clothing!"
Liu Shi only felt that it was even more ironic, "Master, ever since you became the county magistrate, I feel that you are a completely different person.
"You want us to be unable to hold our heads up high for the rest of our lives, even though we have gained this wealth and glory by calculating a woman's dowry? Humph... my son doesn't need it!"
"Pa!" County Magistrate Zhang was furious and slapped her hard.
"A loving mother often spoils her son. Hao'er is like this now, all thanks to you! Look at the kids in the backyard, they're either in a state of panic or as timid as mice. The thing I regret most in my life is marrying you!"
When Liu heard this, her blood boiled and she slapped County Magistrate Zhang in the face, leaving him stunned.
"Bitch...you...you actually dared to hit me? Believe it or not, I will divorce you!"
Liu's face was filled with tears, but she raised her neck and said, "Stop? Are you worthy? Have you forgotten how you got your position as county lieutenant? What? Now that my parents are gone, you want to bully me?"
"Zhang Dahu, I've tolerated you for a long time. Do you still regret marrying me? You were so poor back then, who would want to marry you? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Shen Yueniang has been pampered since she was a child. Do you think she'll be interested in you just because you became the county magistrate?"
"You are a fool, and you have no shame. You are a high-ranking official, yet you are attracted to someone else's wife, and you are targeting Jia Fugui everywhere. You are so despicable and shameless!"
County Magistrate Zhang was struck by the truth, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. He grabbed Liu's neck and lifted her up.
Liu subconsciously slapped the other person randomly, and the other person's face was scratched by his nails. He became even more annoyed and could not help but increase the strength of his hands.
"Let...let go...me." Liu's face was bruised and she was almost suffocating.
Zhu'er, the maid beside him, stamped her feet anxiously and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she picked up the stool beside the table and smashed it at him.
But the force was too weak and it didn't knock the person unconscious.
However, County Magistrate Zhang understood and let go.
Liu fell to the ground, gasping for breath, extremely terrified.
Seeing this, Zhu Er hurried to check, "Madam, Madam, are you okay?"
Liu waved her hand and was about to pull her out, but she heard Zhu'er's scream. She looked up and saw County Magistrate Zhang pulling the maid's hair.
His mouth was full of resentment: "Bitch...you are so brave!"
"Let go...let go..." The maidservant burst into tears, thinking that she would die today.
"Bang!" There was a heavy sound. Liu picked up the stool and hit him.
At the same time, Magistrate Zhang collapsed to the ground, falling heavily on the maid.
"Ah...ah...someone is dead, someone is dead..." Zhu'er was extremely scared.
"Shut up!" Liu quickly pulled her out, bravely sniffed the breath of County Magistrate Zhang, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, her eyes became stern, and she stared at him with resentment, "Zhu'er, go to your brother's house and find Doctor Jiang! Quick..."
Zhu'er's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
"What are you still standing here for? Go!"
After Zhu'er left, she took great pains to drag County Magistrate Zhang to the bed and stood by the bed, holding a vase in her hand.
He touched his neck and murmured to himself, "You beast in human form! You actually wanted to kill me. Humph... I swore in front of the Buddha that I would be completely devoted to you in this life. Haha... Just lie in bed from now on!"
Liu's brother also came with Doctor Jiang.
"Sister, what happened?"
Liu's tears welled up, "Brother, he despises our family's decline and wants to divorce me and marry someone else! Wuwuwu..."
Magistrate Zhang was dazed when he heard this and subconsciously retorted, "She's talking nonsense!"
Liu quickly picked up the vase and smashed it.
Three people in the room: "..."
Seeing this, Zhu'er quickly closed the door.
Liu Lin's eyes widened, "Sister, you..."
"Plop", Liu knelt down in front of Doctor Jiang.
"Uncle Jiang, I have no choice. The children's marriages are still unfinished. I had an argument with him just now, and he said he wanted to divorce me and even kill me.
If it weren’t for Zhu’er, I would have died! Woo woo woo…”
As he spoke, he raised his neck, revealing the marks from being pinched.
Liu Lin's eyes were bloodshot. "He... he actually acted like this? I thought he was honest and upright!"
"Brother, he used to be quite normal, but since he became the county magistrate, he has completely changed..."
Doctor Jiang cast a deep gaze on her and gave her a little support.
"Your father has been very kind to me. I once said that I would protect you and your sister for him. Niece, tell me what you think."
"Uncle Jiang, I want him to be paralyzed in bed!"
"Sister, no, he's the county magistrate now, which would be beneficial for the children's marriages. Why not give him more money and buy them a good future?"
"The county magistrate? The new one is coming soon. He's going to be beaten back to his old self. He's just a county lieutenant. His annual salary isn't even enough to buy me some formal clothes. He's also a straightforward person and doesn't know how to make connections in the government office!"
"Besides, he...he actually schemed against Jia Fugui, wanting Hao'er to marry Ruoxue, and even told her to bring a large dowry. Big brother, I feel ashamed!"
Liu Lin clenched his fists and wanted to punch him. "Hmph... You shameless guy, you actually want to use the same trick again? You want Hao'er to learn from him, bah..."
He turned to Dr. Jiang and pleaded, "Uncle, I'm really sorry to bother you!"
Doctor Jiang stroked his beard and said, "As long as you two can come to an agreement, it will be fine!"
Without saying anything, he took out the acupuncture needle and began to "heal" County Magistrate Zhang!
When County Magistrate Zhang woke up, he felt like the sky was falling!
