Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044 County Magistrate Zhang Arrives
Ding Yuehua was taken aback. Kong Zhiyou pulled her and said, “Let’s go out and have a look. Could it be Lord Xiang has arrived?”
“It shouldn’t be, right? Lord Xiang wouldn’t need to ride in such an opulent carriage.”
Though she thought so, she still followed Kong Zhiyou towards the door.
Ying Dong, who was outside weling guests, happened to step forward. Walking to the front of the carriage, he asked with a smile, “May I know your honorable surname, dear guest? I am just…”
Before he could finish, a person emerged from the carriage, wielding a short whip, and without a word, swung it towards Ying Dong.
Ying Dong’s expression changed slightly. Reacting quickly, he turned sideways and retreated several steps, blocking the onlookers who had gathered out of curiosity.
The people at the door were all shocked by this scene, staring in astonishment at the person who attacked without a word.
Third Lu was also standing at the door, greeting guests on behalf of his second brother. Seeing this situation, without a word, he dashed inside.
He was the most observant one. Seeing that the person in the carriage was here to cause trouble, he, having no status, no power, and no martial skills to rely on, dared not confront them by himself. He hurriedly went to find Yu as it was urgent.
Catching a glimpse of Third Lu running inside from the corner of his eye, Ying Dong breathed a slight sigh of relief, raising his eyes to the man holding a whip. With a stern face, he asked, “May I know who you are, causing trouble at the Lu family’s doorstep without reason? Isn’t this inappropriate?!”
“Hah!” The man on the carriage stood on the shaft, looking down on Ying Dong, pointing at him with the short whip, shouting, “You, a mere servant, dare speak in front of me? What of the Lu family? Such a petty Village Chief yet acting so grand. Get lost, go back and tell your master to e out personally to wele us.”
Ying Dong frowned, “Your honorable surname, guest? Do you have an invitation from our master’s family?”
“So what if I don’t? Does lack of one mean I’m unworthy to enter the Lu family’s door?” The carriage curtain was lifted, and a woman’s voice came from inside, “Lu Xiang really doesn’t care about anyone, being so arrogant.”
As the words fell, the person inside also came out of the carriage.
Ding Yuehua saw the newer, her face changed slightly, and she immediately turned around and ran towards the courtyard.
Kong Zhiyou was stunned for a moment, “Yuehua, Yuehua, where are you going?”
Ding Yuehua couldn’t bother with her anymore, bypassing the shadow wall and heading straight for the main house.
Unexpectedly, halfway there, Shu Yu came over just then.
“Yu.” Ding Yuehua said anxiously, “Outside, outside…”
“I know, my Third Uncle told me someone is causing trouble.” Shu Yu nodded at her, “It’s okay, I’ll handle it.”
She wanted to see who dared to e causing trouble on such an important day, thinking she would just take it, didn’t they?
Ding Yuehua shook her head, “The one outside is County Magistrate Zhang.”
Shu Yu was stunned, “County Magistrate Zhang?”
Ding Yuehua nodded repeatedly, “I said her snatching those two horses from you was just an appetizer. She would definitely cause more disturbances. I didn’t expect her to e so quickly, causing trouble on your ing-of-age Day. Yu, she is the county magistrate and deliberately causing such a big scene at the front gate to humiliate you, yet you’re powerless against her.”
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes, “Who says I’m powerless against her? County Magistrate Zhang, is it? She came at just the right time.”
She darkened her face and strode towards the front gate.
Upon hearing Shu Yu’s words, Third Lu instantly felt more confident and immediately followed her with his head held high.
