Chapter 1643: Chapter 1643: Deserves a Beating
“Serves her right, her heart was too malicious, always plotting against others. Now she’s got her couppance.”
“Exactly, their days in the old residence were going really well. In Mo Family Village, they were considered a top family, eating white rice every day, much better off than most of us. It was just because they got envious of Madam Xie’s wealth and couldn’t stand watching others live well. Always trying to take advantage, they kept making trouble. Who would have thought, the more they ssed around, the more unlucky they beca, leading to their family’s downfall. They can’t even afford the only grandson’s private school tuition now, it’s truly retribution!”
“Yes! I think Mo Hengjian is done for too. Lazing at ho without purpose all day long, a grown man who can’t lift a hand or shoulder a burden. Now he can’t even attend private school, he’ll beco nothing in the future. Old Lady Mo spoiled him for so many years, and it was all for nothing.”
“Right, right.”
“I heard from the village chief’s eldest young master that Mo Hengjian had no interest in studying at the private school. He spent his days competing with sons of wealthy families, comparing who ate better, wore better, and had more attentive servants.”
“Really, did Old Lady Mo even hire servants for him?”
“She did, but that was back then. Now they can’t even pay for private school, so what’s the point of hiring servants.”
Following this, everyone again burst into hearty laughter.
The county magistrate caused such an embarrassing blunder, not only losing n, but also making a fool of himself in front of everyone. Feeling humiliated, he didn’t want to stay a mont longer, completely ignoring the villagers’ chatter.
He mounted his horse again and prepared to leave with the governnt officials.
Even though Long Yi was bickering with Zi Xia, he had been keeping an eye on the county magistrate’s movents. He thought to himself, a small seventh rank low ranking official, daring to make things difficult for Madam Situ. Isn’t he disregarding the Prince? He had already decided he wouldn’t let him leave easily.
“County magistrate, you offended our madam, and you just want to leave like this?” Long Yi’s cold voice arose from behind him.
Sitting on horseback, the county magistrate turned his head and looked at Long Yi with a puzzled expression, “Who are you?”
Before Long Yi could answer, Zi Xia, who had just been arguing with him, said, “He is the War Prince’s personal bodyguard, Guard Captain Long Yi.”
Then, she added with a cold snort, “You didn’t believe my words, but you should believe his, right?”
Unexpectedly, the county magistrate showed no respect, “How do I know you’re not trying to trick ? Besides, the War Prince is far away in the Capital, busy with state affairs. Why would he know bumpkins like you?”
Zi Xia, utterly furious, couldn’t help but curse, “You Dog Official, you arrest people without distinguishing right from wrong, and now you refuse to admit your mistake?”
The county magistrate pointed at Old Lady Mo, wailing on the ground, and said, “This is not my fault, bla this old woman for filing a false report.”
“Old Lady Mo is indeed hateful, but you, as the magistrate holding the power of life and death, don’t you have any judgent? If this continues, I dread to think how many innocent people in Shuangxing County could beco unjustly accused ghosts under your jurisdiction.”
“How dare you, this Old Master will not tolerate a little girl criticizing .”
Publicly admonished by a young woman, the county magistrate beca outraged with embarrassnt. Having only recently taken office without achieving any accomplishnts, he encountered this unfortunate incident, filling his heart with simring anger that finally exploded.
“You…”
Before Zi Xia could finish, Long Yi interrupted her, “Don’t waste words on him, young master has a way to handle him.”
Zi Xia, still fuming, retorted, “What way? This kind of person just needs a beating. If you ask , giving him a thrashing would do the trick.”
