Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

"Snapped."

Xu Qing was too lazy to waste words with this crazy woman who was spewing nonsense, so she stepped forward and slapped her across the face.

"Try saying it again."

Xu Qing smiled and spoke in a relaxed and calm tone, as if she hadn't been the one who had hit someone just now, and that she was simply chatting with an acquaintance.

Although reason told Xu Qing that she should just let him swear a little, since it wouldn't hurt him anyway.

On the contrary, offending this crazy woman could lead to serious trouble later on, since she is, after all, the county magistrate's wife.

The magistrate usually smiles at her and seems kind and approachable, but in matters like this, he'll definitely side with his own people, regardless of who's right or wrong.

But the woman's insults grew increasingly vile, and the fire in her heart burned ever brighter.

The more I think about it, the more I get angrier!

She could deal with the future later; she couldn't bear it any longer.

The villagers swallowed their whispers after being slapped, and they didn't dare to breathe loudly.

When they realized that it was Xu Qing who had hit the magistrate's wife, their eyes lit up and they secretly cheered.

They also disliked the arrogant attitude of these people.

They just didn't have Xu Qing's courage.

The magistrate's wife was stunned by Xu Qing's beating.

Her original plan was that since the guards couldn't teach this wretched woman a lesson, she would do it herself.

First, scold her; if she talks back, immediately slap her a few times.

She didn't believe Xu Qing would dare to fight back.

The magistrate's wife touched her swollen cheek in a daze.

The pain on her face reminded her that it was real; she had really been hit by this bitch.

And he was beaten in front of so many people.

These peasants, down-and-out, poor country bumpkins!

Everyone saw her get hit!

"you……"

Before the magistrate's wife could finish her sentence, she fainted from anger.

Xu Qing sneered, "Is that all the grit you have? You still have the nerve to come here looking for trouble. Go back to where you came from."

After saying this, Xu Qing led the workers from his workshop back home, leaving the magistrate's wife and her entourage outside.

Qiuqiu hurriedly helped up the magistrate's wife, frantically calling out, "Madam, Madam, what's wrong? Wake up!"

Seeing that the lady showed no signs of waking up, Qiuqiu wanted to move the magistrate's wife to the carriage.

I tried for a long time, but I still couldn't move it.

"Madam, please forgive me..."

Qiuqiu apologized to the magistrate's wife in a trembling voice, and then pinched her philtrum.

The magistrate's wife felt a sharp pain below her nose and slowly woke up.

"Madam, you're finally awake! You scared me to death!"

The magistrate's wife recalled what had happened before she fainted, her eyes blazing with anger as she looked ahead.

I didn't see Xu Qing, only the closed gate.

"What about people!"

Qiuqiu embellished Xu Qing's words and then said, "She went inside."

The magistrate's wife's refined manners prevented her from banging on the door in public, but she felt like she was going crazy from the anger she was holding in.

She turned around abruptly and stared at the villagers watching the commotion in the distance.

These lowly people saw her ugly side, they deserve to die!

She was planning to give the villagers a warning and tell them not to spread the news of what happened today.

The villagers who had just been standing on tiptoe and craning their necks to look in this direction scattered in an instant.

"Damn it, did you think that was the end of it?"

The magistrate's wife stamped her foot, turned around, and climbed into the carriage.

Back at the yamen, the magistrate's wife, with a swollen face, went to the magistrate and cried her heart out.

The magistrate was both shocked and furious. Xu Qing was too audacious to dare to hit his wife!

"Madam, please don't cry. I will summon Xu Qing right away and find out the truth. I will definitely get justice for you."

As for Xu Qing, the feeling of getting revenge on the spot was so satisfying that he felt much more comfortable all over, and his back and legs no longer ached.

She also thought that the magistrate's wife would definitely complain when she got back, but she wasn't afraid. Could a magistrate be as powerful as the Minister of Justice?

At noon, everyone was tired from the boat ride in Dukou Town and didn't eat much, so Xu Qing cooked a table full of delicious dishes.

Her cooking skills were already quite good, and with the addition of modern seasonings, such as chicken essence, oyster sauce, and thirteen-spice powder, she was even better.

Before she could even call for help, Cui Han and Ye Wushuang arrived by themselves, drawn by the scent.

"Aunt Xu, your cooking is amazing! Even this stir-fried vegetable dish tastes so good."

It tastes better than the chef at my house, no, it tastes better than the chefs at the Fucheng Restaurant.

How did you do that? Teach me, so I can show off to my parents when I get home.

Ye Wushuang ate and talked at the same time, his mouth stuffed up like a squirrel's.

Although Cui Han didn't offer any comments, his eyes shone brighter and brighter as he ate, and he kept nodding slightly.

Xu Qing looked preoccupied: "Fresh ingredients taste good no matter how you cook them, it's not as good as you say."

Ye Wushuang ate without even looking up, and mumbled:

"No, no, no, I've eaten at all the restaurants in the city, and none of them are as good as your cooking, Auntie. Don't belittle yourself, Auntie."

"If you open a shop in the prefectural city, all the other restaurants will definitely have no business."

The maidservant sighed and rubbed her forehead, "Young master, please slow down. You shouldn't talk while eating or sleeping. Madam will scold you again if she finds out."

Cui Han noticed that Xu Qing seemed a little down, paused for a moment, put down his chopsticks, and asked, "What's wrong, Madam Xu?"

Xu Qing poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, pretending to be strong, and said, "No, it's nothing."

Cui Han wiped his mouth: "If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me. You saved my life and are Zhenzhen's adoptive mother. I will definitely help you if I can."

Xu Qing was overjoyed; these were the words she had been waiting for.

She sighed heavily and recounted the story of the magistrate's wife coming to her door earlier:

"I simply couldn't bear it any longer, that's why I took action. She'll definitely tell the magistrate when she gets back."

I wonder what the adults will do to me this time. I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid they'll shut down my workshop.

"If something happens to the workshop, what will happen to my workers?"

Cui Han frowned. He could tell that Xu Qing was deliberately acting this way to provoke him into speaking.

He was speaking from the heart; he was willing to do his best to help the woman who had been kind to him.

But to his surprise, this was the kind of thing that Madam Xu was asking him for.

If he weren't the Minister of Justice, what would she do?

“With me here, the magistrate cannot hold you accountable without cause. If he is really framing you to avenge his wife, then his term as magistrate is over.”

However, I must remind you that you must not act so rashly in the future. Always have a backup plan.

Xu Qing pretended to wipe away her tears: "I understand. I am of lowly status. I should not offend such an important person. I should just let her beat and scold me and let her vent her anger."

Ye Wushuang slammed the bowl and chopsticks down on the table with a "bang," and said angrily:

“Uncle, how can you say that about Aunt Xu? She has already suffered enough.”

Then he turned to Xu Qing and said, "Auntie, don't be afraid. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. If she dares to come again, you can hit her again. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."

Cui Han sighed: "That's not what I meant. I... I just hope that Madam Xu can leave herself a way out in case of trouble and protect herself to the greatest extent possible."

"If it weren't for me today, and without young friend Ye, what would have happened if you had rashly struck the magistrate's wife?"
