Zixia’s attitude was very arrogant, speaking each word deliberately: "Stand steady, listen carefully."
Having traveled far and wide since childhood and seen all kinds of people, Zixia knew that to deal with people like the county magistrate, her deanor needed to be superior to his in order to overwhelm him.
The county magistrate was dismissive, thinking that this pauper from a remote small town, at most, managed to establish so familial ties with a wealthy master and thought himself remarkable.
So, he didn’t take it seriously at all.
"Our young miss is Madam Situ from the War Prince’s Mansion. You, a small seventh rank low ranking official, not only dare not kneel before our madam but also have the audacity to accuse her of treason? If our Prince learns of this matter, even ten heads wouldn’t be enough to chop off."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate trembled all over, his eyes filled with doubt as he looked at Zixia, asking: "War Prince’s Mansion? Are you talking about the War Prince’s Mansion in the Capital?"
The War Prince’s battle achievents were illustrious, and his fa was known throughout the country. As an Imperial Appointed Official, the county magistrate had certainly heard of him, but his status was too low to have any chance of eting the War Prince.
"How is it? Are you frightened now? Hurry and kneel to plead for forgiveness from our Madam Situ."
"You say she is Madam Situ?"
"Indeed."
"Isn’t her surna Mo? Stop deceiving this official."
"What a fool, no wonder you’ve been fooled round and round by this old lady."
"Who are you calling a fool?" The county magistrate was thoroughly furious, thinking, these paupers, who never stepped out of a remote small town, still want to scare him to death with the War Prince’s na. If he truly believed it, then he would indeed be a fool!
Zixia arrogantly pointed a finger at him: "You."
At this, the county magistrate was nearly infuriated to death and couldn’t help but shout: "Bold unruly people, insulting an Imperial court official, what should be your cri?"
"So, how about it? Want to arrest ? Co on!"
"You... You... You...!"
The county magistrate glanced around, surrounded only by so defeated remnants, not a single person to rely upon. anwhile, Zixia’s haughty attitude made him tremble all over with anger.
Just then, a deafening sound of horse hooves ca from outside...
"Clip-clop clip-clop...!"
The sound was very urgent, with several horses galloping fast, and in an instant, they arrived in front of everyone.
Everyone looked up, among them were two familiar faces, one was the back-from-the-dead Mo Xiaoqiang, and the other was a long-unseen Big Bull.
They dismounted swiftly, one running towards Madam Xie, the other towards Xuexue.
"My dear, you left the Capital so hastily without even saying goodbye. I’ve been worried sick." Big Bull stepped forward, intending to grab Xuexue’s hand and express his feelings of separation.
But unexpectedly, soone blocked his way halfway.
Zixia stood between them with a foul look on her face, fiercely blocking Big Bull: "Hey hey hey! Who are you? What are you doing calling our miss ’my dear’? Let tell you! Our madam is Madam Situ of the War Prince’s Mansion, don’t randomly address her, be careful not to invite a deadly disaster."
Why is this young maid so annoying?
Big Bull, upon seeing Xuexue, was initially full of joy, but suddenly being blocked by this maid made him quite angry. This young maid was often a nuisance back in the mansion, and now here, she was hindering him too. What kind of sins did he commit in his previous life to bring this young maid upon himself?
Long Rui had a speechless look on his face, and Xuexue couldn’t help but laugh!
He wasn’t wearing a mask at this mont, revealing his true face, which Zixia hadn’t seen before, so naturally, she didn’t know he was the renowned War Prince.
Big Bull: "My dear, you laughed, does that an you’re not angry with anymore?"
