Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable Chapter 1253 - 1162: The Lady Minister 101

"It’s really troubleso, this won’t work and that won’t either. In that case, we’ll just use the old thod and take care of the person once and for all."

Chai Feipeng was temperantal. After his plans were repeatedly rejected by Hu Bingchen and Xu Huirong, he grew impatient and slamd the table.

Hu Bingchen held his head in frustration and said helplessly, "We’ve already discussed this. This County Magistrate Yin is not like those two weaklings before. Think it through; she has so many guards by her side. Your old thod simply won’t work."

"You don’t need to worry about it. I obviously have my own ways. If we don’t resolve this soon, our troubles will co back, and those guys won’t patiently let us idle without taking action."

After finishing his words, Chai Feipeng left directly, not even giving Hu Bingchen and Xu Huirong a chance to persuade him otherwise.

Hu Bingchen rubbed his aching forehead as Xu Huirong watched Chai Pengfei’s departing figure with so concern, "Old Hu, as impulsive as Old Chai is, there won’t be any problems, right?"

Hu Bingchen shook his head, "There shouldn’t be. Although Old Chai is a bit hot-tempered, he is ticulous despite his roughness. He doesn’t act recklessly, and at worst, he will get himself out of trouble without any issues."

......

After sitting in the carriage for a while, one’s body would start to feel tired. After enduring the soreness and pains from sitting, Shuangshuang decided to get off the carriage, intending to take a walk accompanied by Wei Yingnan, Yan Yi, Ying Yi, and a few others.

As for the luxurious carriage, it was parked in a spacious spot, waiting along with the others for Shuangshuang’s return.

The place where Shuangshuang disembarked was a bustling street, considered the liveliest area in Qinglin County, crowded with shops.

Among them, the most prominent was the largest Guest Return Restaurant in Qinglin County, and the Rouge Pavilion, where Shuangshuang was currently standing, selling won’s costics.

Since Shuangshuang stood there for a bit longer, a stunning woman wearing a pink long dress erged from the Rouge Pavilion.

This woman’s features were extraordinarily delicate, her hair loosely pinned with several golden hairpins on one side and a tassel hairpin on the other, clearly crafted with exceptional skill.

Her clothes were sowhat loose but not revealing, her hair slightly disheveled, her attire relaxed, exuding a certain allure combined with a touch of laziness — truly a tempting presence like a demon.

Upon seeing Shuangshuang, the woman imdiately smiled widely, briskly walking over to her and gracefully greeting her, "This humble lady greets the Lord County Magistrate.

I’m the shopkeeper of Rouge Pavilion. Since you’ve passed by, why not co in and see if there’s anything you can use. The costics inside my Rouge Pavilion are the best in Qinglin County."

Shuangshuang, looking at this beauty, slightly curled her lips, "You, shopkeeper, are quite bold, aren’t you afraid of ?"

"Oh dear, what are you saying, Lord County Magistrate, you’re a woman too, not so man-eating tiger, there’s nothing to fear. My little shop is open for business; all custors are welco, why should a shopkeeper fear her guests?

You’ve been working hard patrolling the streets. Though it’s a costics store, its tea and pastries are top-notch in Qinglin County. Why don’t you co in, have so pastries and tea, and take a break?

If your esteed presence graces my shop, even if you buy nothing, just having the Lord County Magistrate visit would bring prestige. Should anyone talk about you visiting my humble shop, it would be an honor."

Her attitude was warm, her eloquence unmatched. With the shopkeeper’s enthusiastic invitation, Shuangshuang casually strolled into the Rouge Pavilion.

"May I know how to address the shopkeeper?" Shuangshuang casually inspected the Rouge Pavilion’s interior decor. It was quite pleasing, giving off a cozy vibe.

The shopkeeper guided Shuangshuang to a seat, pouring her tea with a smile, "My family na is Gao, and my first na is Ya. You can call Manager Gao."

"Ya ans elegance, an excellent na. It seems your parents had high expectations when naming you, Manager Gao. You must be cherished by them."

Gao Ya paused as she poured tea, then put down the teapot thoughtfully, a deeper smile spreading across her face.

"Indeed, you are correct, my lord. I was dearly loved by my parents from a young age. My father personally taught and enlightened , never showing dislike for having a daughter. Sadly, I had little fortune, as my parents passed early, leaving alone."

"Please forgive my rudeness for bringing up a sore topic."

"Oh, it’s nothing, my lord. It’s been years since they passed. No matter how sorrowful, it has faded. It’s just your sudden ntion made ponder. My lord, try this jujube pastry, it’s my specialty."

Shuangshuang took the exquisitely small pastry from Gao Ya’s hand, tasted it, and nodded in praise, "Indeed, it’s delicious. Manager Gao’s culinary skills surpass those of dedicated pastry shops."

"I’m glad you enjoy it. This lotus paste cake is equally delightful; try them all. If you truly appreciate my culinary skills, I could make daily deliveries to the county governnt, as a tribute."

Picking up the teacup beside her for a sip, Shuangshuang looked at Gao Ya with a faint smile, "Daily deliveries aren’t necessary; I wouldn’t want to trouble you, Manager Gao, so much.

But surely, with your enthusiasm in inviting to your shop, there must be more than offering a taste of your skills. You must have sothing to say to ."

Though it’s perfectly fine to treat guests warmly, Shuangshuang’s status was special, always inspiring awe and fear in commoners. Even if unafraid, they wouldn’t be so welcoming.

Not knowing an official’s temperant and fearing inappropriate speech might sour them, Gao Ya’s behavior was markedly different, showing no fear of Shuangshuang.

Gao Ya’s smile didn’t falter, "You truly are sharp, my lord, capable of seeing into minds. I was fretting about how to begin, but now that you’ve spoken, it eases my task.

Having been in Qinglin County for a while, you must be aware of the officials’ conduct here, my lord.

Isn’t it strange that if it were only to leech off the common people’s wealth, they’d go to the extent of getting rid of two county magistrates? Such actions are too drastic, and if they catch higher-ups’ attention, the trouble could be severe."

Killing two county magistrates — Shuangshuang’s heart stirred. This matter had always been publicly deed accidental, with commoners accepting this explanation, never questioning the previous magistrates’ unnatural deaths.

Yet this Manager Gao spoke with certainty about murder, almost a sworn statent. Shuangshuang’s lips curled slightly; this Manager Gao seed to be soone with secrets, truly intriguing.
