Just then, Chen Sanyuan rushed in in a panic.
"father……"
Before he could say a word, Chen Lizheng glared at him.
The magistrate's daughter came again, but his son lost his manners and only called him "father." How could he save face?
Chen Sanyuan paid no attention to the woman beside his father and asked tremblingly, "Father, what did Aunt Lin do to deserve such a beating and being tied up?"
Chen Lizheng's expression suddenly darkened.
He never expected that his son would come in such a panic because of Aunt Yang's matter!
He said seriously, "Her words were rude and slanderous. This incident should also serve as a warning to others in the village not to gossip."
Chen Sanyuan's face turned pale. He said, "Father, you've punished him and tied him up. In this blazing sun, why don't you let him go?"
He knew that Aunt Yang liked to gossip, but it was all fine, nothing too outrageous.
Besides, there are so many gossipy people in the village, why was she the only one to receive the reward?
Chen Lizheng thought his son would understand what he meant by saying that, but his son didn't hear him at all.
"Chen Sanyuan! Do you know what you're saying?"
Chen Lizheng was furious, and it seemed he needed to beat Chen Sanyuan up before he could vent his anger.
Wan Qiqi initially thought that Aunt Yang was just making things up, but it seems that someone has actually fallen in love with her.
She couldn't help but shake her head.
Indeed, every family has its own problems!
"Has your son lost his mind? That gossipy woman dared to bully the county magistrate; this punishment is too lenient!" Fang Luxue squinted at Chen Sanyuan. "Chen, village head, has your son gone mad?"
Chen Sanyuan then noticed the woman who was dressed differently and whose temperament was different from that of the others in the village.
He paused, unsure of the other person's identity, yet disagreeing with their words, "Young lady, when did Aunt Lin..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Lizheng grabbed him by the collar and shoved him hard.
Chen Lizheng bowed to Fang Luxue and said, "Miss Fang, it is my fault for failing to raise my son properly. Please forgive me! I will take him back and teach him a lesson right away."
Fang Luxue didn't pursue the matter further, and waved her hand, signaling him to leave.
Upon hearing the words "Miss Fang," Chen Sanyuan realized what wrong he might have done.
Remembering Lin Xiaohua's pitiful and pleading appearance beside him, he didn't know what to do.
