Upon hearing this, Chen Baoyu's charming eyes suddenly changed from astonishment to fear. When she was about to beg for mercy, the yamen runners came up and covered her mouth, and dragged her away.

Linglong looked at Wen Ying, then let go of Zi'an and was about to salute her.

Wen Ying's face changed drastically when he saw this. He strode forward and gave Linglong a light support.

"Miss, there is no need to be so polite. This is the side hall, not the imperial hall."

Linglong lowered her eyes, a flash of uncertainty passed through her mind, but she still bent down towards Wen Ying, her voice weak: "Thank you, my Lord."

Wen Ying avoided Linglong's salute with her excellent eyesight. When she heard the word "common people", her heart felt as if it was twisted and it ached extremely.

In the silent hall, Wen Shanchu looked at his mother who was always able to speak at length, but now spoke very little.

Linglong didn't want to waste any more time here, so she said in a faint voice, "Sir, I came here today to remove my husband's slave status and transfer his household registration to my household."

"Secondly, I am here to report to the authorities! I am from Taohua Village, Banshan Town. A murder occurred in the village, but the village chief dealt with it hastily, so I could not report it to the authorities. I am here to report to the county government, and I hope the county government will make the decision."

He pretended to kneel down after he finished speaking, but this action almost frightened Wen Ying to her knees again.

"Miss Wang, oh no, Madam Wang, I have someone here to handle this matter. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."

She really couldn't stand the word "common people" anymore. If she continued to listen to it, her heart would probably stop.

Wen Ying covered her chest, looked at her daughter who was watching the show, and said, "Tuantuan, please go to Banshan Town with me to help Madam Wang to sort out her household registration. Then come to me to get the official seal."

Seeing his mother's inappropriate behavior, Wen Shanchu became more and more curious about the beautiful Wang Linglong.

He bowed and said, "Yes, mother."

After getting the reply, Wen Ying nodded to Wang Linglong, then turned around and ran towards the door. As a result, she tripped over the threshold again because she was not paying attention.

Zi'an also noticed something was wrong at this moment. Although his sister didn't allow him to kneel, it was unthinkable for a commoner to not kneel when meeting an official.

But today, not only that, there was something wrong with the county magistrate's attitude towards Linglong. It was extremely wrong.

"Madam Wang, please take a seat."

Linglong nodded, "Thank you, county girl."

After saying this, he pulled Zi'an, who was daydreaming, to the side and sat him down on a carved chair.

When Wen Shanchu heard the words "the girl from the county government", he looked dazed. He carefully observed the woman in front of him and was very surprised. The appearance of the woman in front of him was 90% similar to the profile of the genius doctor Dan Xu.

If it weren't for his height, she would really think that this person was the miracle doctor Dan Xu.

Retracting his thoughts, Wen Shanchu looked at Lu Liang who was standing beside him, "Master Lu, please help with the household registration of this lady and this gentleman."

Lu Liang, who was watching her heart from the perspective of her eyes, bowed to Wen Shanchu and said, "Yes, Miss."

After he finished speaking, he sat down at the desk, looked through the household registration of the woman and the man in front of him, and then began to change the process.

After Wen Shanchu arranged for the waiter to bring the tea and snacks, he looked at Linglong and said, "Madam Wang, my mother and I will go get the official seal. Please sit here for a while."

Linglong nodded in return, "Yes, the daughter of the county government."

After Wen Shanchu left, Linglong took out a red pill from her sleeve and handed it to the person next to her: "An An, eat it."

Zi'an, who was thinking, came back to his senses when he heard Linglong's voice. He looked at the thing in front of him, reached out to take it, and put it directly into his mouth.

The sweet taste melted in my mouth, and my uncomfortable stomach slowly warmed up.

Zi'an looked at Linglong, "Sister, is it a pill?"

Linglong nodded. "I'll make a sugar pill out of the medicine. Keep it in your pocket. Take one whenever you feel uncomfortable in your stomach."

As she spoke, Linglong took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and placed it in Zi'an's hand.

At this time, a waiter brought some snacks over. Zi'an looked at the delicious snacks and felt that Wen Ying's attitude was more and more strange.

He looked at the woman beside him with a doubtful look, and when he saw that infuriating face, he felt a little uneasy.

----

The county government study.

"Mother, what happened?"

Wen Shanchu looked at her mother who was sitting behind the desk with her back to her and asked.

Why did my mother, who has always paid attention to etiquette, lose her composure repeatedly today?

Wen Ying was silent for a long while, and finally sighed and turned around: "This time, we don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse for our Wen family."

Seeing his mother's pale face, Wen Shanchu took a few steps forward, came to Wen Ying's side, and helped her to sit down.

Feeling the somewhat cold back of his mother's hand, Wen Shanchu asked worriedly, "Mom, are you okay?"

Wen Ying sighed again and shook her head: "It's okay, but in a few days, whether the Wen family will be fine or not depends on God's will."

Wen Shanchu poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Wen Ying, "Mother, what happened?"

He took the tea handed to him by his daughter, took a sip, put down the teacup, stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and took out a book from the bookshelf.

boom……

The bookshelf was opened on the side, and a sandalwood box was placed inside. Wen Ying held the box with both hands and took it out.

His attitude was very respectful.

He returned to the desk, placed the sandalwood box on it, then carefully opened it, and a golden token came into view.

When Wen Shanchu saw the phoenix totem inside, his expression changed.

"Mother, this is..."

Wen Ying took out the token, and the golden ears swayed slightly in the air as she moved.

"This is the imperial order given to me by His Majesty. It is also the Jingling Order. I am handing it over to you. Next, you must protect Wang Linglong. If there is any danger, the Jingwei in the dark will protect their master."

The meaning of these words was so shocking that Wen Shanchu didn't react until he got the token in his hand.

Wen Ying could understand when she saw this. Her daughter knew that she was working for the Queen, but she didn't know what she was doing. It seemed that she would have to explain everything to her daughter when she came back this time.

After thinking about it, she patted her daughter's shoulder and said, "Tuantuan, when you come back this time, mother will explain the whole story to you."

Wen Shanchu came back to her senses, and after hearing her mother's words, she nodded, "My daughter will be there soon."

In fact, Wang Linglong’s identity was self-evident based on this golden order, without her mother saying anything.

If that's the case, then Wen Qi must be related to this matter.

While he was thinking, he arrived at the side hall of the government office.

At this time, Lu Liang had already completed Linglong's household registration.

"Sorry to have kept Madam Wang waiting for a long time. We will leave now."

Linglong stood up and bowed to Wen Shanchu, "Excuse me, we still need to buy some household supplies. You can go ahead, and I will catch up with you later."

Wen Shanchu avoided Linglong's bow and felt unhappy in his heart.
