Farming with kids: My deceased husband returns and I spoil him rotten.

Upon hearing this, Shang Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes, looking at Luo Bin with a somewhat speechless expression.

She's not stupid; how could she not tell whether someone did it on purpose?

But so what?

Even if they knew the other person did it on purpose, could they really kill them?

joke!

Seeing Luo Bin's expression, Shang Qing sighed and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, let's not stand here anymore. Let's clean up this place first."

After all, they are likely to stay here for the next few days. How can anyone live in such a dirty and messy place?

Upon hearing this, Luo Bin pursed his lips, a hint of helplessness on his face.

In the past, his family's situation wasn't exactly good, but they didn't have to do these things either, which is quite ironic.

However, if Shang Qing can do it, why can't he?

Luo Bin hummed in agreement, then walked inside and stopped beside the table.

He first raised his hand to stroke the table, but before he could even lift his hand, he saw that his hand was covered in dust.

Luo Bin frowned, his face full of disgust.

How can we clean when there's nothing here?

Luo Bin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go see the magistrate to see what's going on. If it really doesn't work, we'll leave."

He really can't stand living here anymore!

Upon hearing this, Shang Qing hesitated for a moment, then turned to look behind him.

Regardless of whether this was the magistrate's intention or not, it was indeed a bit excessive to have them stay here.

Shang Qing remained silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Seeing Shang Qing nod, Luo Bin no longer hesitated and turned to walk towards the door.

However, before he even reached the door, he saw the magistrate and his entourage approaching. Next to the magistrate stood a slightly plump woman, who looked to be in her thirties or forties.

It is very exquisite.

She must be the county magistrate's wife, Xu.

Before they came here, how could they not have inquired about the county magistrate's situation? Naturally, they knew these most basic things.

The county magistrate was named Xu Changqing, thirty-four years old, with one wife and one concubine.

His wife was gentle, and there were very few rumors about his concubines.

The butler was standing behind them with his head down, looking very nervous, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

Seeing that Magistrate Luo Bin frowned, he said, "Didn't I have someone take you to the guest room? How did you end up here?"

"I just went to look for you, but I couldn't find you."

Upon hearing the magistrate's voice, Shang Qing also came over. The two looked at each other for a moment, then turned their gazes to the steward.

The magistrate also turned his head and focused his gaze on the steward.

The steward gritted his teeth and finally knelt down, bending his knees and bowing his head, not daring to look at the magistrate.

After a while, he said, "I... the guest rooms haven't been cleaned yet. I'd like you two to sit here for a while."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the magistrate raised an eyebrow, looked coldly at the steward, and waited for him to continue.

The guest room hasn't been cleaned yet, so would you like to sit here for a while?

Sit there?

Isn't this place dirtier than the guest rooms?

The steward had served the magistrate for so long that he naturally knew the magistrate's temper. Upon hearing the magistrate's voice, he couldn't help but kowtow, his voice trembling.

"I... I was wrong. Please forgive me, sir. I will never do it again. I will never do it again."

……

Seeing that the steward showed no sign of stopping, the magistrate raised his hand to signal him to stop.

"okay!"

Only after hearing the magistrate's voice did the steward dare to stop, and then looked up at the magistrate, wondering what the magistrate meant.

No matter what, he has served the magistrate for so long. Does the magistrate really intend to fire him because of these two people?

The magistrate slapped the steward across the face and said coldly, "I know what you did before, but I didn't want to get rid of you since you've been by my side for so long. But aren't you going a bit too far?"

After saying that, he pointed at Luo Bin and Shang Qing and said, "These two are Li Qing's relatives, and they played a big role in capturing Wang Mingli and the other two. If it weren't for them, we don't know where Wang Mingli would be now, or if anything would have happened to him. Is this how you treat them?"

After all, they found Wang Mingli by following the two of them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have arrived so quickly.

In the magistrate's mind, their contributions were the same as those of Shang Qing and Luo Bin.

The butler turned to look at the two of them, and although he was somewhat unwilling, he still began to kowtow to Shang Qing and Luo Bin.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me, you two adults are so magnanimous!"

……

Hearing this, and seeing the butler's expression, Shang Qing couldn't help but twitch her lips, her face full of speechlessness.

So all of this was done by the butler on his own initiative?

How could a mere housekeeper have such audacity?

Unless he has someone backing him up.

If it's not the county magistrate, then it must be someone else.

Seeing that the steward and the magistrate had opened their mouths, they swallowed back what they wanted to say.

Well, the butler was given to him by the person above him, so even if he's not satisfied, he can only put up with it. He can't just replace him like that.

After all, he knew very well what the person above wanted to do.

It was just to monitor him.

The magistrate raised his hand and waved it, his face showing some impatience.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go now. You don't need to stay here today."

The butler nodded, then stood up and walked towards the door.

Watching the steward disappear from sight, the magistrate turned to look at Shang Qing and Luo Bin.

He first nodded to the two people to express his apology, and said, "He has indeed become a bit bolder lately. Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you."

"Also, I will have someone arrange good rooms for you, so you don't need to stay here."

The magistrate's wife immediately walked over to Shang Qing and stopped, raising her hand to grasp Shang Qing's hand, her face full of joy and her eyes filled with undisguised affection.

"How old are you?"

Shang Qing frowned, somewhat bewildered, but still looked down at herself and replied, "Seventeen."

She was indeed quite old, but now she looks only about seventeen.

Now, even if you say it's seventeen, no one will doubt it.

Hearing this, the magistrate's wife was even happier.

She patted Shang Qing's hand and said with a smile, "Good, good, very suitable."

"Okay, come back with me first, I'll help you pack."

He looked Shang Qing up and down and continued, "She's quite pretty, but her clothes are a bit too worn out."

"You're too thin, eat more."

She sighed as she spoke, her eyes filled with heartache.

Without giving Shang Qing any time to respond, he led her towards his own courtyard.

Watching their figures disappear from sight, Luo Bin wanted to follow them, but after all, it was Madam's courtyard, and it was ultimately not appropriate.

He could only turn his head and look at the county magistrate.
