The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

The tightly closed door began to shake violently, and it was obvious that someone was kicking it from outside.

"Open the door, open the door."

The voice outside came in. The county magistrate's wife was very familiar with this voice. Wasn't this the voice of her master?

Oh no, oh no, this is bad. Normally, adults never come here at this time. Is it because of this little guy in front of me?

Impossible, absolutely impossible. If this little girl was very important, the adults would definitely tell her.

She lowered her voice and pointed at several servants on the ground and gave them orders.

"Hurry up and get up. Hide this damn girl for me. Don't let the adults find her."

These servants also knew the seriousness of the matter, and none of them dared to be careless. They quickly got up from the ground and ran towards a place holding the extremely weak Lan Ning.

Lan Ning was completely exhausted at the moment, but she knew she couldn't be hidden. She let her fingers hang down at her sides and kept throwing the flour and melon seeds she bought onto the ground.

Although she was in pain all over and very weak at the moment, her mind was working quite fast.

If my guess is correct, there should not be flour and melon seeds in the yard, so she scattered these two things on the ground, and she should be able to find out that something happened to her. It should be easy to find herself based on this clue.

Now she can only rely on this method to save herself. She can't get into trouble because there are so many people waiting for her at home.

After everything in the yard was settled, the servants hurried over to open the door.

The county magistrate's wife was also hurriedly tidying up her appearance. After making sure that there was no problem, she sat on the stool with a faint smile and looked at the person coming in from the door.

It turned out to be his master.

"Master, why are you here? Aren't you usually busy at this time?"

The county magistrate's wife spoke in a gentle and pleasant voice, and walked with small and nimble steps. She looked very gentle and lovely.

"What about people?"

The county magistrate looked at the hypocritical woman in front of him with no expression. If the servant had not just come to report it, he would not have known that his wife, who was always very virtuous and sensible in front of him, would be in such a state.

He glanced around the yard and found nothing different from usual, and there was no sign of the little girl.

Could it be that the servant had heard wrongly? In fact, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that his wife must not be that evil person.

"What about people?"

His eyes fell on the county magistrate's wife and he asked again.

The magistrate’s wife looked puzzled.

"Master, who are you talking about?"

"That little girl who came to give you a gift, where is she?"

The county magistrate's wife covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looking as if she had suddenly realized something.

"Oh, Master, so you are talking about that little girl. She left something for me and you came. Look, it's still on the table. I haven't even had time to open it to see what it is.

What's the matter with you coming here?"

The county magistrate's wife's expression was too calm. The county magistrate kept staring at her without ever looking away.

But he didn't find anything suspicious at all. Could it be that the servant really had heard it wrong?

Thinking of this, the county magistrate's serious and doubtful expression turned into a faint smile.

"Nothing, I just heard a lot of noise over here and was afraid that something might have happened to you, so I rushed over to check. Now that I see that you are okay, I am relieved."

The county magistrate moved his steps to sit on a stool for a while, but before he reached the stool, he saw something on the ground in front of him.

He walked over with a puzzled look on his face, bent down, picked up something on the ground and checked it. It was flour and melon seeds.

How could there be these things in the lady's yard? He turned his head to look at the county magistrate's wife. Perhaps she did not expect the master to look at her. The panic on the county magistrate's face had not yet been suppressed, and it all fell into the county magistrate's eyes.

It seems that the lady is really hiding something from him.

"Someone, follow these things on the ground and find out what they are."

What, we have to go look for it? No, this must have spilled out of the bag of that little guy just now. It would be terrible if the master really found it.

She controlled her facial expression calmly and walked towards the county magistrate at a leisurely pace.

"Master, there's nothing to look for. They're just some thieves who stole food and ran over there. We'll just catch them and kill them. There's no need to make such a big fuss."

The magistrate's wife grabbed the magistrate's sleeve with her slender, fair hands and tried to pull him back, but she couldn't move him at all.

She turned around with a puzzled look, and saw the county magistrate looking at her angrily.

Oh no, the adults must have discovered something.

The yamen runners didn't listen to the county magistrate's wife at all. They just walked forward along the things on the ground and finally stopped outside a house.

“Open the door and see what’s inside to see if there are really mice hiding food inside as Madam said.

Madam is very afraid of these things, don't scare her."

"No, Master, I am not afraid of these things. Don't waste your time on these things. You finally came here, why don't you have lunch with me at noon?"

"It won't be too late to find the rat before having lunch with Madam."

The magistrate's wife's wet nurse was now covering Lan Ning's mouth tightly to prevent her from making any sound.

The two hid behind the screen and listened to the door of the room being banged again and again. After a while, the whole door fell to the ground.

The nanny trembled with fear and curled up her fat body even tighter, fearing that the two of them would be discovered.

But no matter how she hid, the room was limited in size, and when they came in and searched, they saw the two of them hiding behind the screen.

"My lord, I found the little girl and the lady's nurse in the back."

The county magistrate, who was standing outside the door, heard what the yamen runner reported and shook off the hand that was still tightly holding his sleeve.

He took a big step forward and walked in. The scene that came into his eyes made his pupils shrink suddenly.

How did this girl get beaten into this state? Her cheeks were swollen, blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, and her body was covered in dirt. Now she didn't even have the strength to speak, and just collapsed to the ground.

"Quick, quick, go get the doctor. Quick, quick, go get Doctor Mu."

The county magistrate was very flustered at the moment. He bent down and gently patted Lan Ning's shoulder. The little guy just slowly moved his eyes towards him without making any movement.

"Girl, don't be afraid, they've got a doctor over here, you'll be fine, just hold on, hold on.

How outrageous! How outrageous! You are so bold to do such a thing under my nose.

Arrest Yu Jiuer, her nanny, and all the servants in her yard. I had no idea that my wife had done such a bad thing behind my back. "
