Liu Chuyu stuffed several rice cakes into her mouth and chewed them with difficulty.
The magistrate's wife quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying, "My child, eat slowly and be careful not to choke."
Liu Chuyu drank a large glass of water and finally swallowed the rice cake in her mouth.
He slurped down the entire bowl of salty bean curd in one go.
Then he said, "Aunt Zhao, I'm not suffering at all. I felt so thrilled and excited, you have no idea how dangerous that bandit stronghold was..."
Liu Chuyu gestured rapidly, clearly recounting the two days and one night she spent in the bandits' den.
When the magistrate's wife heard this, her heart was in her throat.
Liu Chuyu had just finished eating and drinking and was talking intensely when Magistrate Liu led a group of yamen runners in from the front hall.
Magistrate Liu's originally gloomy face immediately relaxed when he saw that Liu Chuyu was already at home.
However, he was both worried and exhausted about this kid. And this kid was actually sitting here eating and drinking like this?
Thinking of this, Magistrate Liu's face darkened again.
"Liu Chuyu! You brat!" Magistrate Liu was so angry with the child that he didn't know what to say!
When the magistrate's wife saw the magistrate's appearance, she quickly stood up and stood in front of Liu Chuyu.
"What do you want? Let me tell you, if you dare to lay a hand on my son today, you'd better get past me first!"
Upon seeing this situation, Magistrate Liu felt a surge of anger rising to his head.
He pointed at his wife, "You, you, you, a doting mother spoils her son! The reason Liu Chuyu is so clueless now is all because you spoiled him since he was little!"
This involves family history, and once we start reminiscing, there's a lot to talk about.
Liu Chuyu was so frightened by his father that he dared not eat and stood up to hide behind his mother.
Scenes like today used to be commonplace at home.
However, with his mother protecting him, his father probably won't do anything to him, right?
The two maids beside the magistrate's wife seemed to have gotten used to it and stood silently to the side, keeping their mouths shut.
The courtyard, which was just full of people, has now dispersed without any hesitation.
Only He Tiantian and Master Zhang were left, looking at each other, unsure whether to offer any advice or not.
In the past, the magistrate's wife could have stood on the same side as the magistrate.
But my son just came home today, so it would be inappropriate to give him a lecture like this now.
"I only have one son, so what if I spoil him? Let me tell you, Liu Quande, if you dare to touch my son today, I'll divorce you!"
What? Why are they getting a divorce?
He Tiantian and Zhang Shiye realized that the matter had escalated too much and could not be allowed to continue.
Both of them are angry right now, and they might actually do something drastic.
Magistrate Liu's face turned red with anger. When he saw a target erected in the courtyard, he became even angrier.
He strode forward, pulled the target from the ground, and threw it back down.
"You're utterly ignorant and incompetent! Didn't I tell you you're not allowed to shoot arrows anymore? What did I send you here for?!"
The target—that was Liu Chuyu's life.
He'll get angry with anyone who touches his beloved possessions.
