Xiaoxiao just returned with Yang Ming, feeling that the courtroom was entirely Magistrate’s one-man show. There was no place for her to display her skills; her only role seed to be kneeling.
She really didn’t want to go there anymore, finding it terribly difficult to communicate with that kind of person. She was more suited to being a humble farm girl.
"Yang Ming, if you ever beco an official, don’t be so haughty! You must speak nicely!"
"..." Haughty? What does that an?
"I don’t like that kind of official!"
"Then what kind of person do you like?" If his wife didn’t like that kind of person, what did she like?
After thinking for a mont, Xiaoxiao said, "Well, how to put it! They should at least be approachable and down-to-earth, yeah, just kind and amiable people."
As she spoke, Xiaoxiao thought of Magistrate Li with a face full of disdain, "Ugh, anyway, he just had a stern face the whole ti, as if everyone owed him eight hundred silver. Don’t like! Scary enough to kill a person, shouldn’t he at least have a smile?"
"..." Hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, Yang Ming’s eyes rolled. He felt like his wife’s description of having a stern face and being scary was about him.
No wonder his wife disliked him so much. A smile, then? He should try smiling for his wife. Thinking this, he genuinely tried to smile and wondered internally, ’Is this how I should smile?’
After finishing talking and seeing that her cheap husband hadn’t responded, Xiaoxiao looked back and caught sight of his forced smile.
Xiaoxiao suddenly had a shiver up her spine, imagining what it would be like if Yang Ming took the stand with that smile after becoming an official... She quickly shook her head. Oh my, if Yang Ming beca an official, he better keep a straight face the whole ti because his smile is truly frightening.
"Yang Ming, stop smiling! Let’s get going!"
No matter what, the one who poisoned was caught, so she wouldn’t have to pay any silver. This was seriously great news. If she had lost that silver, it would have been the death of her.
After walking for a while, "Yang Ming, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!"
"..." What is his wife doing? Why suddenly laughing non-stop?
"Hahahaha!" Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but laugh heartily at the thought of saving her silver. She felt she had to share her joy with soone, couldn’t contain it at all.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Hahaha, Yang Ming, we’ve saved our silver, no need to pay for it!"
"..." That’s it? His wife really wore her emotions on her face, but he very much liked her just the way she was.
"Yang Ming, I am so happy. Now is the perfect ti to go shopping, let’s go!" Xiaoxiao said and pulled Yang Ming toward the shops on the street.
"..." Was his wife hungry or sothing? Wanting to eat her fill?
Yang Ming had beco accustod to being bossed around by his wife, much more comfortable than at the beginning. Since his wife was hungry, they should eat. With that, he followed her lead.
Once they arrived, Xiaoxiao switched into shopping mode.
"Shopkeeper, weigh out three pounds of this for ."
"Shopkeeper, I’ll take five pounds of that!"
"Shopkeeper, wrap this up for !"
"Shopkeeper, let have a look at that!"
"..."
"..."
Yang Ming followed behind, the packages piling up on him. Weren’t they supposed to eat their fill? Why then did the shopping go on non-stop? When exactly were they going to eat!
No wonder his wife cherished her silver so much. If they continued shopping like this, the silver probably wouldn’t last a few days!
