Peach Blossom Town—
County government office.
Magistrate Liu did not sleep well last night, as he kept dreaming of his deceased wife.
In his dream, his deceased wife's beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow, as if blaming him for not going to save their son himself.
He gave a bitter smile, unable to refute the argument, watching helplessly as his deceased wife disappeared before his eyes...
As dawn broke, his back was soaked with sweat.
After summoning servants to help him wash and groom himself, he regained his calm and composed demeanor.
At this moment, the constable reported that someone from the Peng family had come to deliver an apology gift.
"Oh? Who came to deliver this?"
Magistrate Liu's lips curled slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"The steward of the Peng family."
The head constable didn't look too good either. If the Peng family truly wanted to apologize, it should have been Young Master Peng or even Master Peng who came, not a mere servant...
Magistrate Liu rubbed his sore neck, his tone leaving no room for doubt:
"Drive them away."
"Yes, sir!"
The constable accepted the order without the slightest hesitation.
In recent years, the Peng family has become increasingly arrogant and domineering, committing all sorts of evil deeds!
This has caused widespread mourning in all the towns of Taohua County. Now they've even set their sights on Taohua Town and beaten up the county magistrate's son!
Magistrate Liu never does anything without being sure of success. Since he's determined to offend this Master Peng, he's probably also going to offend the Prefect behind him!
After settling matters at the yamen, he ordered his clerk to take charge, summoned carriages and horses, and intended to personally travel to Ping'an Town in Ping'an County...
Unlike the tense situation at the county government office, the Brothers Hot Pot restaurant was still doing brisk business.
With customers flocking in, the demand from that side has grown significantly. As a result, the owner behind it all personally came to Peach Blossom Town again, intending to discuss cooperation with the Wu family once more.
"Nephew Qingshan, may we move to the restaurant? The master is here and wants to discuss some business matters with you."
Wu Guanghua was unaware of what had happened in the village the previous night, so when his employer gave him instructions, he agreed without hesitation.
However, after he said those words, the other person's expression changed, and he refused.
"Uncle, something has happened at home. Please tell your employer that we can talk another day."
Qingshan politely declined, and then hurriedly drove the oxcart, taking his second brother with him to buy pork.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Guanghua was very puzzled by the young man's attitude. Had he offended anyone?
"Uncle, you don't know, yesterday..."
While busy, Da Shi explained the changes in his third aunt's family to Uncle Guanghua, especially the "good deeds" done by the son of that wealthy man surnamed Peng, which finally made the other party understand...
Wu Guanghua was worried about how to report back to his master. Now it seemed that he could embellish the story and use his master's hand to give the Peng family a warning!
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about appearances. He hurriedly grabbed the hem of his robe, jumped into the carriage, and ordered the driver to return to the inn—no, to the master's villa!
At this moment, Mr. Peng, immersed in his tender moments, was completely unaware of the trouble his good-for-nothing son had gotten himself into.
In the newly purchased villa, the newly adopted mistress is dressed in flamboyant attire, her exquisite makeup revealing a deep cleavage, which adds a touch of allure in the morning light.
The beautiful woman lay prostrate on his waist, her breath sweet as orchids, and whispered in his ear:
"My lord, I'd like the latest rouge from Rouge Pavilion!"
"My darling~ If you want it, I'll buy it for you, as many boxes as you want~"
How could Master Peng resist? Naturally, he complied with the beauty's every request.
The beauty covered her lips and chuckled softly, then pulled back her thin veil to reveal her snow-white, lotus-like arms. Her slender fingers traced his brow, exuding a seductive charm as she said:
"My lord is so good to me!"
"Of course, how do you intend to repay this master?"
"Of course, I will repay you, Master, with my own body!"
"Hahaha, you little devil~"
......
If Jiang Yue were here, she would definitely recognize who this charming beauty is!
Wujia Village —
The millstone at the village entrance.
Early on, people had already set up tables, chairs, and benches, and set up several large pots.
Everything is ready now, and all that's left is for the pigs to arrive!
There are many elderly people in the village, and almost all of them have left their homes and are waiting at the village entrance early in the morning.
The children were playing around the village entrance, drooling and licking their lips, eagerly anticipating the pork stew!
After arranging the prepared seasonings, Jiang Yue pulled out a stool and helped her mother-in-law and the others peel garlic.
"Third brother's wife, how's Qingyun?"
Old Mrs. Zhou only found out this morning that her grandson had an accident. Her family kept it from her and don't they treat her like an elder anymore!
Although the old man said that his grandson was not seriously injured, she was still not at ease.
So when we went to the third brother's wife's house, the gate was locked. We asked and found out that the third brother's wife had promised to treat the whole village to a feast of pork stew at noon to thank the villagers for their help yesterday!
She was worried because she hadn't seen her grandson, so she came to the village entrance again. Before she could even speak, someone pulled her over to peel garlic!
Finally, she's managed to snag the third son's wife!
"Mother, Qingyun suffered a minor injury. We applied medicine yesterday, and he's fine for now..."
Jiang Yue explained that it took a long time to calm her mother-in-law down.
Fearing the old woman wouldn't believe her, she searched through the crowd for a while, then waved to her son and said:
"Qingyun, come here quickly, let your grandma take a look~"
Wu Qingyun was a little embarrassed, but with a purple tinge on his skin, he walked over to let his mother know he was safe.
Old Zhou slapped his thigh and exclaimed:
"I thought I was seeing things, wondering where this purple eggplant came from. Turns out, it's Qingyun!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present laughed.
That's right!
Eye-catching bag~
As a result, Liu Yunfei's conspicuous bag also made the others burst into laughter.
After explanation and introduction, everyone learned that this was the son of the county magistrate, and they all put away their joking expressions and showed a hint of awe.
Liu Yunfei knew, of course, that this reverence wasn't for him, but for his father.
When Old Zhou learned that this man was the son of the county magistrate, she was too frightened to say anything more, for fear of offending the important person.
But when the third son's wife said that this young master Liu had helped Qingyun but was implicated and beaten, she suddenly felt that this young master Liu was very loyal and the kind of good person who would help those in need!
The people of Wujia Village are mostly simple and honest, and the majority feel immense gratitude towards Young Master Liu, while a small minority harbor thoughts of flattery and currying favor...
Who is Liu Yunfei?
He is the county magistrate's only son!
Although he was a bit of a troublemaker from childhood, Magistrate Liu taught him everything he should and shouldn't have taught him!
He could clearly distinguish between good and evil!
Including romantic relationships~
When villagers tried to present their daughters to him, his eyes turned cold, and his innate air of nobility scared away the ill-intentioned intruders...
He treated all the villagers, regardless of age or gender, with politeness and gentlemanly manners, showing them all kindness and goodwill.
