Wu Li stood there for a long while, then gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled heartily, a rare moment. "The county lady has helped me a lot, and I'm afraid I won't be able to repay her in this lifetime. Leave her to me. I won't be satisfied until I get to the bottom of it."
"Then it's up to you." Shen Huaixu was still thinking about taking a nice bath, so he said, "If there's nothing else, then leave."
Wu Li: "Could the county lady give me a name? The Wu family no longer exists, and Wu Li should no longer be called Wu Li."

Wu Li smiled with tears in her eyes, "Shen Zhuyue thanks the county lady."

"How dare you! Who dares to block the way of the County Magistrate?!"
The County Lady's badge was right in front of the man's eyes, and the man who was shouting immediately lost his previous arrogance. He took the badge and came before the County Magistrate. The County Magistrate took a closer look and was so scared that he knelt in front of Xiaoman, "I didn't know that the County Lady Mingyi had come..."
