Chapter 196 True Action

Lao Mao asked, "Grandma, should we let them in?"

Old Mrs. Liu didn't say anything, but she remembered something.

At that time, Xingxing, probably to appease him and share the same hatred with him, said that she had once encountered a carriage running headlong and almost hit her aunt, who was pregnant with a baby at the time.

How could those people do this!

The four-year-old girl was speaking in a rage, which made people laugh.

Old Lady Liu then slowly spoke: "Has the Zhang family always been like this?"

Lao Mao thought for a moment and said, "When I was at the clinic, I heard people talking about how the Zhang family was used to doing things like this, and it had happened more than once or twice."

Old Lady Liu chuckled and said, "No, let them go."

Lao Mao went out to pass the message.

Of course, Lao Mao would not repeat what Old Lady Liu said exactly.

Lao Mao's refusal was very appropriate -

"Our old lady was frightened and is bedridden, unable to see visitors."

The visitor from the Zhang family said with a smile: "It is my young master's fault for scaring Old Lady Liu. After returning home, my young master was beaten by our old master according to the family rules. Now he can't get out of bed. These supplements are a small apology from our Zhang family. I hope you will accept them..."

Lao Mao said politely, "We in the Liu family don't lack these supplements. When our old master retired, His Majesty was worried that we wouldn't have enough supplements after leaving the capital, so he gave us a full cart of supplements. We need them now, so please don't worry about them."

The words were said politely, but the meaning behind them was enough to frighten the Zhang family's steward so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Mrs. Zhang sent him here originally with the intention of delivering a gift and testing the waters.

But he saw that this move was extremely stupid.

What is Old Lady Liu? She is a great scholar! Even if she retires and returns to her hometown, she still has two sons who are officials in the capital, and many classmates and friends!

The young master likes to drive fast and he almost hit Old Lady Liu by driving recklessly. This was a big mistake.

But their wives felt sorry for their young master and insisted that he come first to give gifts to test the waters.

If the Liu family accepted the compensation and apology, then their young master would not have to make another trip and suffer that injustice.

But the Liu family not only refused to accept it, they also brought up the emperor!

What does this mean? This is clearly telling the Zhang family, just wait and see!

The Zhang family's steward broke out in a cold sweat.

Just at this moment, the county magistrate also arrived.

He was dressed in casual clothes, his face full of worry. He said that he heard that Old Madam Liu was injured, so he came to visit her as soon as he got off work. He wondered how Old Madam Liu was doing now.

The more polite the county magistrate spoke, the more cold sweat broke out on the Zhang family's steward's back.

Lao Mao was also very polite to the county magistrate and said, "Sir, I am very sorry. Our old lady is currently bedridden and cannot entertain guests."

The county magistrate said with a worried look on his face: "I know there is a miraculous doctor who has retired nearby. I think I can invite him over tomorrow... Then I will ask him to come to the old lady's house and check her pulse."

Lao Mao thanked the county magistrate and seemed to appreciate his kindness.

The county magistrate was very happy and said, "In that case, I will not disturb you today. You should have a good rest. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know."

Lao Mao politely said goodbye to the county magistrate, returned to his mansion and closed the door.

The Zhang family's steward was watching from the side, and he was almost soaked with cold sweat.

Only then did the county magistrate notice the steward of the Zhang family.

He frowned and looked at her: "...Who are you from?"

When the Zhang family's steward was considering how to respond, the county magistrate's teacher had already whispered in his ear.

The county magistrate's face changed: "Okay, so you are from the Zhang family!"

The county magistrate looked at the supplements brought by the Zhang family's steward with disgust, and said angrily: "...Zhang Congzhi's good son! He almost bumped into Master Liu, and he actually sent a steward to apologize?! This is simply a disgrace to our Mapo County!"

Thinking further, if Master Liu was really hit by a playboy driving a reckless car in the jurisdiction of Mapo County and became seriously ill, I am afraid that this matter would be reported to the emperor by Master Liu's two sons in Beijing!

Then, wouldn't his career be over? !

The more the county magistrate thought about it, the worse his face became.

The Zhang family's steward's legs were shaking like chaff and cold sweat was pouring down his face.

The county magistrate sneered at last, said "really cool", and walked away.

The Zhang family's steward's legs went weak and he fell directly to the ground.

His mind was full of two words.

Finished!

It’s over!

The steward of the Zhang family stumbled back to the Zhang family, and Mrs. Zhang was also a little nervous and anxious.

Her father was not at home, and her son had gotten into such trouble, so she could only do her best to make amends.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Zhang asked repeatedly.

The steward had a bitter face. When he told her what had happened, Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale as paper and she was so anxious that she was spinning around: "What should we do?"

But misfortunes never come singly. Master Zhang came back from outside the house angrily and shouted as soon as he entered the house: "Where is that rebellious son?!"

He was out socializing tonight, chatting and drinking with others, when someone who was well-informed made eyes at him and said something like, "Your son is so brave."

At first, Master Zhang didn't take it seriously, thinking that his only son had done something like competing with someone for the most beautiful girl.

As a result, others told him in a sarcastic tone that your son actually dared to bump into a retired university scholar and returned to his hometown. Such courage really deserves thumbs up.

Mr. Zhang was struck by lightning.

Especially when the other party was still smiling and talking, the county magistrate knew about this and rushed to the house to express his condolences. The government was also very powerful and sent a steward to deliver some supplements. I think this supplement must be some rare and precious elixir like the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, right?

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang was shocked, panicked, anxious, and annoyed. He felt so mocked that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

He was so nervous that he hurried home before the party was over!

"What the hell is going on!" Master Zhang's eyes turned red as he yelled, "Where is that evil creature?"

Mrs. Zhang was also panicked. She stammered and couldn't say anything.

However, the steward who had gone to Liu's villa earlier fell to his knees on the ground, trembling all over, and told the whole story.

Mr. Zhang almost fainted.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Mr. Zhang slapped her in the face!

Mrs. Zhang was stunned. Mr. Zhang, with bloodshot eyes, scolded: "Foolish woman!"

When Mr. Zhang found his only son, Zhang Hongjun, Zhang Hongjun was playing with the concubine in the same courtyard.

Mr. Zhang was so angry that he was shaking all over. He took a stick and hit Zhang Hongjun on the face!

Zhang Hongjun screamed.

"Son!" Mrs. Zhang was so distressed that she rushed over and stopped Mr. Zhang from beating him. She cried, "It has already happened. What's the point of beating Jun'er? At worst, I can take out all the good things in my private storehouse and send them to the Liu family tomorrow!"
