Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

When Xu Ruolan and her group went to the county government office, Liu Xu and Chang Yifei were chatting after finishing their discussion.

There were no more customers downstairs. The shopkeeper was calculating and the waiters were busy cleaning.

Shopkeeper Liu finished calculating the lunchtime sales and wrote down the total with a grin. Just as he was about to go upstairs to report to his two bosses, a young man ran in at the door.

"Boss, please explain, is Miss Liu Xuliu here?" the waiter asked anxiously.

"Who are you?" Shopkeeper Liu asked instead of answering.

"Boss, I'm a clerk at the Jixiang Cloth Shop. Madam Liu and her family bought some cloth and cotton from the shop earlier, and my boss asked me to deliver them here. Also, please help me to invite Miss Liu, I have something important to tell you!"

Seeing that the eagerness on the waiter's face did not seem fake, Manager Liu immediately asked the waiter to help move the things in, asked the waiter to sit down and drink some water, and ran up to the third floor himself.

"Young master, a worker from the Jixiang Cloth Shop is downstairs delivering cloth, and he said he has something important to tell you."

Liu Xu and the other person looked at each other, somewhat confused.

"Did you say what it was?" Liu Xu asked.

"No, young master, but the guy looked anxious. I was worried that there was something important, so I came to report to you first."

"Let's go down and take a look!" Upon hearing this, Chang Yifei led the way out, Liu Xu followed closely, and Manager Liu followed behind.

Qingfeng and Qiaoyun closed the door and followed him downstairs.

On the first floor, the young man heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs and immediately stood up, still holding the two pieces of glass brocade in his hands.

Liu Xu recognized the young man at a glance. He was not Hu Zi, but he had gone with Hu Zi to deliver cloth to their family.

"Little brother, does Uncle Ling have anything to tell you?" Liu Xu asked.

The young man hurried forward, took a look, and handed the cloth in his hand to Qingfeng...

"Miss Liu, the shopkeeper asked you to go to the county government office immediately. Madam Liu and the others are in trouble! The shopkeeper and Hu Zi have gone to the county government office to testify!" the young man said anxiously.

"What? What happened?" Liu Xu immediately became anxious.

"Is such that…"

"Let's go to the county government office first and talk about it on the way!" Chang Yifei was a little anxious when he heard it. He interrupted the waiter and made arrangements.

"Oh, yes, Qiao Yun, take someone to bring the things upstairs. Brother Chang San and I will go to the county government office first."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out. Chang Yifei followed in sync, and the young man followed. Seeing this, Qingfeng handed the cloth in his hand to Manager Liu and followed.

Qiao Yun looked at the person who left and stamped her feet. Who made her so young?

At the same time, Xu Ruolan and others had arrived at the county government office.

Miss Qiu, Constable Sun and others followed behind reluctantly.

Originally, they wanted to leave halfway, but how could He Feng and others let them go? They didn't know when the two brothers blocked them from behind.

Now they can only hope that the county magistrate will stand on their side for the sake of his sister.

The guards at the gate of the county government looked at such a large group of people surrounding them and were a little confused. One of the guards stepped forward and scolded:

"Who are you? How can you be allowed to gather at the gate of the county government?"

Xu Ruolan stood up and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Brother officer, we are here to ask the county magistrate to judge the case. My family and I suffered an injustice at the Jixiang Cloth Shop today, and I am here to ask the county magistrate to administer justice."

The bailiff frowned, looked Xu Ruolan and the others up and down, and said, "You wait here for a moment, I'll go in and report." After that, he turned and entered the county government office.

After a while, the bailiff came out again and said, "The county magistrate invites you in, but you must maintain order and not make any noise."

Everyone filed in and entered the lobby of the county government office.

County Magistrate Qiu Jiarui sat high in the hall, looking at the people who walked into the hall one after another with a dignified look on his face.

Until... he saw his sister Qiu Jiayu, who gave him so much headaches, and his temples began to throb.

Qiu Jiarui closed his eyes, opened them, slammed the gavel, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is here, and what's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruolan took a step forward, knelt down calmly, straightened her back, and replied calmly: "Your Excellency, I am Liu Xu, from Liujia Village, Yuyang Town. Today, my family and I were buying cloth at Jixiang Cloth Shop. I bought two pieces of Liuli brocade..."

When Liu Xu and others arrived, Xu Ruolan had just finished explaining what had happened. On the way, they also found out the whole story from the waiter Xizi.

Liu Xu had a gloomy face all the time, and even when Chang Yifei told her that County Magistrate Qiu was a good official, her expression did not improve!

It’s not that she didn’t hear it, it’s just that she didn’t believe it!

The little maidservant in the Qiu family is so arrogant. All she talks about is closing the shop and sending people to jail. It is obvious that she has done a lot of such bullying.

As a county official, she didn't believe that he didn't know anything about it. Since he knew about it but let it go, it meant that he was protecting that woman. How could he be called a good official?

This thought became even stronger when she arrived at the county government office and saw her mother and others kneeling in front of the hall, while the woman was standing.

Liu Xu wanted to go in, but was stopped by the yamen runners: "Stop, this is a restricted area of ​​the county yamen, outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

Liu Xu wanted to break in, but was stopped by Chang Yifei. He ignored Liu Xu's glaring eyes and said to the yamen runner, "I am Chang Yifei. The people kneeling inside are relatives of the mansion. Please send my brother in to report to the master."

The yamen runner was stunned for a moment when he heard this. The young master of the Chang family! Then his attitude softened a lot, "Please wait here for a moment!"

In the county government office, Xu Ruolan said, "Please help me, sir. What crime have I committed? Can we be taken to jail directly without trial?"

Just as Qiu Jiarui was about to reply, Qiu Jiayu jumped out first: "Brother, you have to make the decision for me. She is just a country woman, how can she be qualified to wear brocade. Moreover, they dared to hurt me. This is beating up an official's wife. It is only right for Constable Sun to put them in jail!"

"Shut up!" Qiu Jiarui was almost angry. His sister was really spoiled by her mother. She was stupid and dumb and didn't even know it. It was obvious that Liu Xu was not an ordinary peasant woman. She knew that ordinary people couldn't wear brocade, so how could she not know that!

At this time, the yamen runner came in to report that Chang Yifei wanted to see him, and told him that the person lying on his knees was a relative of the Chang family. Qiu Jiarui's heart skipped a beat, and although he was a little confused, he quickly asked someone to let the person in.

As soon as Liu Xu and Chang Yifei came in, Qiu Jiayu's eyes were glued to Chang Yifei.

It’s a pity that Master Chang didn’t even give her a glance.

The two walked to the front of the hall, and Chang Yifei immediately lifted his robe and knelt down. Seeing this, Liu Xu gritted her teeth and knelt down as well.

"Chang Yifei pays his respects to the county magistrate!"

"Liu Xu from Liujia Village, Yuyang Town pays his respects to the county magistrate!

"Please stand up, both of you!" He guessed in his heart that Liu Xu should be a member of the Liu Xu family, but since she came here with Chang Yifei, he still had to give her face.

"Thank you, sir!" "Thank you, sir!"
