The next morning, Fang Qingqing arrived early. Xiao Lan was at her dressing table, putting on her makeup. She hadn't slept much the previous night, and her complexion was unsightly. She looked gloomy. Thinking about going to the county government office today, she decided to put on a show.
Mother Xu is old, so no one asked her to keep watch at night, so the task of dressing Xiao Lan was given to her.
Mother Xu's makeup skills are very good, and the hairpins she matched are also very generous. Xiao Lan soon looked much better. The dress and accessories complemented each other, and the elegant makeup was a good foil for Xiao Lan's temperament.
Sun Shaohua was waiting outside her yard when she saw Xiao Lan approaching from a distance. If a man really wanted to observe someone, he wouldn't necessarily be less observant than a woman; sometimes, they just didn't want to observe.
He could tell at a glance that the courtesan had changed her ornaments, and knew that He had changed her incense before he even entered the room, but it seemed as if he had never known that Xiao Lan was a beautiful woman.
Sun Shaohua kept watching Xiao Lan until she came to him. But when she came closer, he hid the admiration in his eyes because he could see the fatigue in Xiao Lan's eyes.
When getting on the carriage, he seemed to stretch out his arm naturally, but Xiao Lan did not stretch out her hand, as if she did not see it, so he put it down as if nothing had happened.
The carriage was stopped by Sun Shaohua before it reached the county government office. He got off the carriage first and then called Xiao Lan to get off. Xiao Lan was reluctant at first, but she didn't want to offend him on the street, so she had to get off the carriage as well.
Sun Shaohua led Xiao Lan to a wonton stall and asked the owner for two bowls of wontons. He got up early today and asked Jasmine. Xiao Lan had not had breakfast yet, so he thought of bringing her here.
Xiao Lan naturally knew what Sun Shaohua meant. He wanted to make up for his past behavior, or perhaps he wanted to play the emotional card to make Xiao Lan more sensible in the future and not tell others about the good things their family had done in the county government office.
"I won't tell..." Xiao Lan stirred the wontons with a spoon but didn't eat them.
Sun Shaohua looked at her and knew that Xiao Lan had misunderstood him, "That's not what I meant..."
"I will treat you well and Xin'er well in the future."
Xiao Lan looked at him, eyes filled with indifference. If the original owner were here, she would have nodded with tears in her eyes, holding his hand and saying, "It's better for us to live a good life than anything else."
Sun Shaohua could see her indifference, but pretended not to see it. He thought Xiao Lan was just heartbroken because of Xin'er. Once Xin'er recovered, he would treat her well in the future, and she would devote herself to him wholeheartedly as before.
"Eat now. After you finish eating, the county government office will open."
The wontons were so filling that Xiao Lan felt uncomfortable. She looked at Pu Xinnan in front of her and had no appetite at all, but she had to eat.
The trip wasn't over after eating the wontons, as Sun Shaohua took her for a walk, looked at the vendors' stalls, and even bought her a calla lily hairpin on the street. Xiao Lan was speechless.
Do men think that as long as the prodigal son returns, he is worth more than gold, regardless of whether others want to change him or not?
Finally arriving at the county government office, Xiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Chi Yu went to ask the yamen runners for permission, and fortunately, nothing unexpected happened this time, so they were politely ushered in.
The two of them waited in the courtroom. This kind of signing and sealing was not suitable for the inner courtyard. After a while, Su Ze finally came out in his official uniform. He was calm when he saw Xiao Lan, but when Xiao Lan saw Su Ze, she was shocked and speechless.
This is different from the initial feeling that Fang Qingqing was similar to someone else. Now Su Ze looks exactly like her ex-husband who has not yet signed the divorce agreement!
Her expression changed so much that Su Ze felt embarrassed and Sun Shaohua's face turned dark.
"Madam, you've lost your composure." Sun Shaohua reminded in a low voice.
He admitted that Magistrate Su was a handsome young man, but he himself was also one of the most handsome men in the city. Before his marriage, he had received so many love poems that he had no place to put them. Even after his marriage, he still attracted a lot of attention on the street.
Xiao Lan came back to her senses after being reminded, but she still couldn't help but look.
Su Ze was sitting in the hall. Sun Shaohua had learned from his previous experience, so he lifted his robe and knelt down. He also pulled Xiao Lan with one hand, asking her to kneel down as well. However, Xiao Lan was stubborn and refused to move. How could she kneel down to him?
"Get up. Today we are just signing official documents, so there is no need to kneel." Su Ze felt uncomfortable seeing Xiao Lan staring at him. He stopped their actions and signaled Master Cui to hand over the document.
"Madam Sun, has your husband told you everything about your pharmacy?"
Even the voices are exactly the same! Xiao Lan was amazed!
Back then, it was his bass-sounding broadcasting voice, playing the guitar and singing that made her crazy and everyone in the school knew about it.
All the ambiguous objects around Su Ze were cleared out by her, even a childhood sweetheart was conquered by her using the beauty trick. In the end, she got a cheating man who lived off her!
Thinking of this, Xiao Lan's mood worsened, and she looked at Su Ze with disdain and sarcasm. His divorce agreement hadn't been signed yet. Was he still lying to his parents, expressing his deep affection, spending his own money, driving his own sports car, and living in his own ocean view apartment?!
Sitting in the hall, Magistrate Su searched through his memories, unable to recall if he had ever crossed paths with this Madam Sun. Why did this Madam Sun, whom he had just met, seem to harbor such deep hatred for him? Her eyes shifted from shock to hatred! Hadn't she been the one to file the complaint against Xue Wu? Could it be because of the investigation into her shop? Or was it because the shop wasn't being investigated?
Su Ze was shocked by his own thoughts! He was doing things impartially, so why did he feel guilty?
"I have already told my wife that it was our fault for negligence. We accept the punishment." After saying this, he took the document and pulled Xiao Lan, who was glaring at the county magistrate, and motioned for her to sign.
"Madam, this pharmacy has already suffered losses due to the steward Wang. We will earn it back from other sources in the future." Sun Shaohua thought that Xiao Lan was glaring at others so fiercely because Su Ze had sealed her shop.
But he felt better, at least it wasn't a look of admiration.
Xiao Lan finally stopped looking at Su Ze and stared at the document. The classical Chinese was very obscure and she was too lazy to read it.
"Sir, why don't we just close the shop and conduct a self-inspection? Why seal it up and confiscate it?" Xiao Lan turned to look at Su Ze.
“…” Everyone was stunned by her question.
Sun Shaohua looked at Xiao Lan, who exuded a cold aura. He wondered why she hadn't noticed such a murderous aura on the way here. She hadn't expressed any dissatisfaction with the closure of the shop from last night until just now. Could it be that she was preparing to question Magistrate Su?
"Madam, the government is doing its job impartially and enforcing the law. You can't speak casually." Sun Shaohua had suffered before and didn't want to be beaten again, so he quickly advised.
"Are you questioning the unfairness of my judgment?" Su Ze's face looked unhappy.
"I'm just asking, why do we have to confiscate it? Isn't it enough to just seize the banned drugs and poisons? The poison wasn't made by us, it was done by that doctor alone!" Xiao Lan even began to suspect that this Su Ze had traveled through time as well! But when he saw her just now, he showed no emotion at all. Did he not recognize her? Or was he just pretending to mess with her?
"lady……"
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Su Ze wanted to bang the gavel, but found that today was not the official court session, and those items were not on the table, which made him even more angry.
Seeing Su Ze angry, Sun Shaohua quickly explained, "Sir, my daughter was just injured, and my wife took care of her all night without closing her eyes. This morning, she must have been distracted and talking nonsense. Please don't blame me, sir!"
After saying that, he went to pull Xiao Lan, "Madam, please stop talking. I just asked a question yesterday, and I got spanked twice. You can't bear it!"
"Master, please bring the legal documents to Madam Sun to see!" Su Ze's voice was so cold that it could make ice knives fall from the sky around him.
"Yes!" Master Cui turned around and went to look for books.
"No need!" Xiao Lan glanced at Sun Shaohua, who was worried, and then at Su Ze, who was angry in the hall, and said to Su Ze: "Don't blame me, sir. I didn't wake up this morning. I'm sorry!"
Then she signed her name smoothly and stamped her private seal. Her signature was incomprehensible to Sun Shaohua.
Su Ze looked at Xiao Lan's handwriting on the document, which looked like a painting, and fell into deep thought.
Was it possible that Madam Sun was fed poison last time and became stupid?
