A small peasant girl who traveled through time and space picked up a war god prince

Mother, sometimes I doubt whether I was born by you, whether I am really your son. My eldest brother made a mistake, and you forced it on me, making me raise his son. But I worked hard to pass the imperial examination and became a county magistrate. The child is obedient and sensible, and I am filial to you, but why do you look down on my child? I am a good wife, but I have to endure you finding fault with them every day. I have to take care of the lives of the people in this area, the affairs of the county government, and go home to watch how you treat my wife and children. Mother, you said that mother would be like you, not happy for my passing the imperial examination, but holding me back everywhere, and not loving her own grandchildren. You may be patriarchal and don't like your granddaughters, but you don't like your grandsons either. Why is this?

The old lady turned her face away with a guilty conscience. She said, "You are my son. I don't care. You must rescue your eldest nephew and not let anything happen to him. Also, you have to let those outsiders apologize to my eldest grandson. I heard from the servant that my eldest grandson has fallen for that little bitch among those outsiders. You must bring her here to let my eldest grandson vent his anger. If my eldest grandson likes her, let him be a bed warmer!"

"Siyu, thank you grandma for your legs. You're just daydreaming. You even want me to be your grandson's foot-washing maid and bed-warming girl. What are you thinking? You're like a toad crawling on the back of your foot—it doesn't bite, but it makes you feel uncomfortable. You're just dreaming of something that will fall from the sky. How long has it been since I last hit someone? I really think I can't lift a knife anymore. What a bunch of people with high expectations but low skills."

When the county magistrate heard the old lady's unreasonable words, he retorted loudly, "It's impossible. I can't do it."

The old lady resorted to her usual sobbing, fussing, and threatening suicide, rolling on the ground. "I don't care, I don't care, you unfilial son! If you dare not do as I say, I will go to the palace and file a complaint. I'll make you unemployed and let you go. Let's see what you can do." The county magistrate was truly troubled. He had no idea why the Yalong Dynasty insisted on filial piety as the guiding principle. What was he supposed to do with a mother like this? The county magistrate slumped in his chair, feeling powerless. "Is there any way I can control this shrewd mother?"

Hurry up! Are you still sitting there acting like your master? I tell you, if anything happens to my eldest grandson, I'll hang myself right here at the county government office. I'll let you just comfortably be the master, but you'll never achieve anything. Seeing his mother standing there, the hatred in her eyes couldn't be hidden. The county magistrate was frightened by the old woman's eyes and forgot to react for a moment, and was actually beaten severely with the cane by the old woman.

After realizing what was happening, he grabbed the cane and loudly demanded, "Mom, why are you doing this? Am I really your biological son? Are you hitting me just because I didn't help my nephew? What did I do wrong?"

The old lady's eyes were red. "The only thing you did wrong was not taking good care of your eldest brother's son, your eldest nephew. You deserve to be beaten. And those little bastards you gave birth to also deserve to be beaten for being disobedient. You deserve to be beaten even more for being disobedient."

The county magistrate was also overwhelmed and retorted, "Mom, how can I be obedient? I do whatever you say and follow your lead. The only thing I don't follow is my nephew, but what he did is illegal! Do you want our whole family to go to jail? Or would you rather be executed?"

The old lady started to make a fuss and said, "I don't care, I don't care. I don't care whether you go to jail or get beheaded, but nothing can happen to my eldest grandson."

The county magistrate was completely speechless and had no answer. Is this still his mother?

Then he took up his county magistrate's authority. Come, send the old lady back to the backyard to rest. I will not interfere in the affairs of the young master in the future. As long as he breaks the law, I will deal with him according to the law.

The magistrate's mother heard what he said and screamed, "You evil creature, you evil creature! How can you be as heartless as your damned father! How dare you treat your own brother's son like this? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? You damned bastard! I should have strangled you to death when you were born, so that you wouldn't be able to stop my grandson..." The voice grew fainter and fainter.

The county magistrate sat in a chair, thinking about the past. His father had passed away early, and he had just passed the imperial examination. He thought his mother would be happy to know that he had passed the examination, but he was beaten and called a troublemaker. He was also told that he was standing in the position of the eldest brother.

Perhaps his partiality wasn't so obvious before, but ever since his father passed away, it's become quite obvious. He even doubted whether he was his mother's biological child. But his father asked him why. The county magistrate was also puzzled.

At this time, the injustice drum at the yamen gate sounded, "dong dong, dong dong, dong dong! Go see who it is!" the county magistrate said.

The bailiff ran out, bringing in a group of people, including his unworthy nephew. A woman knelt beside him, weeping and recounting the entire incident. "Please, sir, please help me, County Magistrate! I'm going to sue your nephew for assaulting my grandfather. He's also forcing me to be his concubine. My grandfather and I depended on each other for survival, and I only saved up money by performing. That's when Zhu Zongyi saw us and insisted on taking me home to be his concubine."

When he saw I didn't agree, he beat my grandfather. Luckily, these kindhearted people came by and saved me. Then, several more people came in and recounted the deeds of this nephew of the county magistrate. The county magistrate was furious. He had usually dealt with minor fights with him. Who would have thought! He relied on his power to do so much more, bullying men and women, extorting protection money, playing with cats and dogs, and looting shops...

Uncle, I died unjustly. It was this bitch who heard that I was the county magistrate's nephew and wanted to climb up the county magistrate's mansion.

"You, you," the woman retorted excitedly, "I didn't, I didn't. It was you who wanted to snatch me away."

"County magistrate, shut up! Today, I will openly try this case. All previous wrongful convictions, any related to this bastard, will be reopened. Please spread the word among the people: anyone who has bullied men and women, extorted protection money, or robbed a shop will have their case reopened..." Within half an hour, the county magistrate's words about the public trial of his nephew spread throughout Shuangfeng County. Upon hearing this news, all those who had been hurt, bullied, or robbed in the past came forward to reveal their stories, and they all rushed to the county government office to redress their grievances.

Two hours ago, Long Linxiao ordered his secret guards to investigate the county magistrate's character, his nephew's identity, and the county magistrate's past.
