Although Li Zhengde was young, he could understand these words. He first glanced at Ma Cong, and seeing that he was indifferent, his face turned red. He stared straight at Madam Ma and said, "Even if you can't read and don't know the truth, doesn't your son know it? Can you say these words casually? Although I have never been to school, I also know how important reputation is to a woman. How can you talk like this?"

Li Zhengde's words were immature, and there was no profound truth in them, but every word was powerful, showing that he knew etiquette.

Li Mingxia was not the kind of person with a fragile heart. Now that he saw his younger brother speaking up to defend him and seeing Master Cao's admiring face above him, the slight bit of unhappiness and impatience in his heart had long since disappeared.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Isn't this your lover? There's nothing wrong with you two?" Madam Ma didn't care about these things, and didn't notice that her son's face gradually turned ugly, and she was still sarcastic.

She wouldn't believe that someone would stand up for a country girl for no reason. There must be some unspeakable shady business going on.

"Shut up!" Huai County Magistrate finally found his voice, and even trembled a little when he spoke for the first time.

That's He Changan! He is just a small county magistrate, how can he compare to the popular people around the county magistrate? He Changan's words are enough to make him lose his job? Why didn't anyone tell him that the country woman in his cousin's mouth knew He Changan before he came? If he knew about this, he would not come to this muddy water even if he was given more benefits!

Madam Ma hadn't reacted yet, and subconsciously wanted to refute, "Cousin! You can't be scared by this country woman. She's just a pretty boy. Even if this lover is powerful, he can't be compared to you——"

"I told you to shut up! Do you understand?" Huai County Magistrate felt that he was about to faint from fright at these words.

Mrs. Ma heard her cousin's almost hoarse voice, and she finally realized that something was wrong.

"Cousin, you——"

As he spoke, Huai County Magistrate had already stood up and walked quickly towards Li Mingxia and He Changan. He bowed deeply and said in an extremely respectful tone, "Mr. He——"

Perhaps he felt that calling him Lord He was a little inappropriate, so he changed his words after thinking for a while, "Mr. He, Mr. He, why are you here? Is this Miss Li your relative?"

"Mr. He?" Mrs. Ma glanced at her cousin, then looked at the man standing next to Li Mingxia, whom she called her "lover", and her face turned pale instantly.

"I don't deserve it. I never thought that this lady's backer is the magistrate of Huai County. No wonder she is so confident. If I knew that the magistrate of Huai County was here, I really wouldn't dare to come." Although He Chang'an said this, he did not avoid the courtesy of the magistrate of Huai County, nor did he even give a polite response. Even Madam Ma could hear the sarcasm in his tone.

"Mr. He, what are you saying? You are making me feel ashamed. Since this girl is Mr. He's relative, we naturally dare not argue with her. Everything is according to the previous arrangement. We have no objection at all!"

The magistrate of Huai County didn't even ask a single question and just decided the matter directly.

"Cousin, how could you——" Mrs. Ma screamed! But this time she was interrupted before she could finish her sentence.

Today, Madam Ma seemed to be unable to express a complete sentence, but she was extremely unhappy. Her cousin did not come to help for nothing. She had spent a lot of money on him. How could she accept the gift and not do anything? Before he came, he vowed that he would definitely get this done!

"Shut up! If you dare to say another word, I'll let your mother deal with you!" Huai County Magistrate scolded impatiently!

He was already extremely displeased. If it wasn't really inconvenient, he would have gone up and covered the mouth of his stupid cousin.

How can a person be so ignorant! No wonder she can only marry a merchant who has nothing but a little money!

"Sir He, how can Miss Li and I dare to accept the responsibility when you say that?" He Chang'an still stood in the same place, completely ignoring the humility and panic of the magistrate of Huai County.

This was the first time Li Mingxia saw He Changan being so aggressive, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

I had never expected He Changan to be so sarcastic before. If she were the magistrate of Huai County, she would have been sweating so much that she needed to take a cold shower after hearing these words.

However, what Li Mingxia said was right. Huai County Magistrate felt that he had to change his clothes as soon as he left the house.

"Mr. He, please stop joking. We'll leave now. We dare not delay Mr. He and Miss Li." County Magistrate Huai had already heard that Miss Li was not a relative of He Changan. If she was a relative, He Changan would not call her "Miss Li". But who on earth was she? Whose lady? Whose maid? Could it be that his stupid cousin was right? Was this Li Mingxia really He Changan's lover? But even if that was the case, judging from how much He Changan protected Li Mingxia, this girl was definitely not an ordinary person!

Putting aside other things, no matter who this Miss Li is, just talking about He Changan, she is not someone I can afford to offend!

"Why don't you come with me quickly? Enroll Cong'er in the junior class! What are you waiting for here?" The magistrate of Huai County half bent over, turned around and said viciously!

Mrs. Ma now understood. It was not that her cousin did not want to do this, but that her cousin could not afford to offend the lover invited by this little bitch.

Mr. He? Who is this person? Why haven't I heard of him?

"Master Cao, we will not disturb you for now. We don't want to delay your conversation with Miss Li and Mr. He." After saying this, County Magistrate Huai held Madam Ma's hand with one hand and Ma Cong's with the other and was about to leave.

"Stop, I still have a few words to say. I want to take up some of your time, County Magistrate Huai. Is that convenient?"

Li Mingxia took a look at the man in front of her. It turned out that he was the county magistrate. No wonder Mrs. Ma's tone was so aggressive yesterday. It turned out that she really had a backer and was fearless. If she was really just a country girl with no power, no influence, and no money, looking at Master Cao's expression, she would probably give up her place in the intermediate class.
