The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 466 The Identity of Old Mrs. Wang
"You may all step back." The prefect of Wangbei, surnamed Wei, was only in his forties and had a very upright appearance.

After dismissing the maids, Prefect Wei first bowed to Old Madam Wang as a junior, and then said to Wang Chuanfu and the others, "Brothers, please don't worry. Your wife has been settled in. My wife is keeping you company in the inner hall and will certainly not neglect her."

The sister-in-law he mentioned was naturally Wang Chuangui's wife, Ma.

These words, spoken with great warmth, made Wang Chuanfu and the others feel even more uneasy.

What merit or ability do they possess to be called brothers by the prefect of the city!

The county magistrate was already an official position they dared not even dream of, let alone the prefectural governor, who was an extremely high-ranking official.

They didn't dare to count!

They set off at the beginning of November, and now it's already the 20th of December, but they still haven't been able to go home. Seeing that they won't be able to celebrate the New Year, Wang Chuanfu is even more anxious.

Before they arrived, they had considered all sorts of scenarios, but in the end, the old lady guessed correctly, and Wang Chuangui became embroiled in a cheating scandal.

The cheating wasn't a major issue, but it wasn't minor either. It was just a unified examination organized by the prefectural city. It wasn't counted in the imperial examination scores, nor was it considered in any way. The Wangbei County Academy simply wanted to know the level of the students in the various academies of the prefectural city, so they set up the test.

Wang Chuangui also participated in the test. His impromptu essay received high praise, and the academic director repeatedly commended him, saying that he had a clean and upright character.

This is extremely high praise; barring any mishaps, he would surely have passed the imperial examination.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't long before news spread that he was having close ties with a preacher, especially his wife, Madam Ma, who even gifted the preacher's wife a set of expensive clothes.

He was caught red-handed and accused of cheating.

Now, not only was Wang Chuangui imprisoned, but the instructor was also stripped of his official position and is awaiting further punishment.

This was originally under the jurisdiction of the professor and the school administrator, and Prefect Wei would not usually interfere. However, unexpectedly, when Prefect Wei took his family out, his wife unfortunately fell into the water.

The maids couldn't swim, so the man dared not go down to rescue them, leaving Prefect Wei in a state of panic.

Just then, an old woman jumped off a passing carriage.

The old lady casually pulled off her outer garment and plunged into the water.

With a splash, a huge spray of water appeared.

She swam incredibly fast and quickly reached the prefect's wife.

But the prefect's wife was already terrified and panicked, thrashing about wildly.

When Old Mrs. Wang grabbed her, she was pulled along and choked on a mouthful of water.

In their haste, Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman, who had caught up with her, shouted, "Mother!" and were about to jump into the water to save Old Mrs. Wang.

Prefect Wei had them stopped.

His wife was in the water, and no other man was allowed to go in, otherwise his wife's reputation would be ruined!

His wife was very particular about these things, and if she found out later, she would certainly not want to live a life of shame.

Therefore, Prefect Wei dared not take any risks.

After choking on a mouthful of water, Old Mrs. Wang's eyes turned gloomy. Without saying a word, she used her palm as a knife and slashed hard at the back of the prefect's wife's neck.

The prefect's wife fainted on the spot.

Grandma Wang then dragged her ashore and slapped her a few more times, waking the prefect's wife up.

This series of actions stunned everyone around.

In particular, Prefect Wei was about to fly into a rage when he saw that his beloved wife's cheeks were swollen.

"Guards, seize this old woman—" Magistrate Wei was furious and immediately ordered that the vulgar old woman be arrested.

As Old Mrs. Wang was taking the outer robe handed to her by Wang Chuanfu, she turned around upon hearing this and gave Prefect Wei a cold look.

When Prefect Wei saw Old Madam Wang's appearance, he was completely stunned.

Upon further reflection, he almost collapsed.

This old lady looks so much like someone else.

A person who once drove countless people crazy, and who is still remembered fondly even now.

"You...you...you are...who are you?" Prefect Wei was not quite sure.

Grandma Wang smiled slightly, and then sneezed.

Prefect Wei's expression changed drastically. Without thinking twice, he hurriedly shouted, "Someone, quickly invite the old lady to my residence, no, to Qujiang Villa!"

Qujiang Villa was the private residence of Prefect Wei, and only his trusted confidants were allowed to enter.

Not only were the servants surprised, but even Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman were completely baffled.
