C4 Take the Matter Personally

"I think that our child's father just left and no one wants to protect us. His Excellency is a pure and honest parent …" Shu Xiang brought Zhao Sheng out and also put on a tall hat for the county magistrate. She didn't believe that the county magistrate would protect the Huang father and daughter.

Before Shu Xiang could finish her sentence, the magistrate ordered the constable, "Take out all your silver taels!"

"This …" Yellow Constable hesitated for a moment. "What exactly is the Lord Magistrate up to? But he must be heading in my direction."

"Hmm?"

Hearing the magistrate's voice, constable Huang reacted quickly and handed over the money pouch.

He weighed the bag of silver in his hand and felt that it was a bit light. The magistrate then took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and placed it in the purse …

"Yes." It was as if he was cutting through flesh. After a long time, he finally stretched out his hand and passed it to Shu Xiang. "Madam, please look after my thin face and settle this matter privately."

Staring at the two silver ingots, everyone started talking at once.

"Did the County Magistrate run into some trouble today? Did he become so generous?"

"Yes!" Those two ingots of white and flowery silver should be enough for us to eat white rice for years. "

"Say, do you think that the county magistrate wanted Little Lady's beauty so he used money to bribe her?"

"I see!" "It's most likely because Little Lady's hubby identity is not ordinary, the county magistrate wants to curry favor with her."

When the magistrate heard the last sentence of the truth, he felt very upset. He knocked on the table and sternly shouted, "Shut up!" Constable Huang, Huang Xin, if the two of you still dare to cause trouble for the three of them in the future, don't blame me for not showing you respect for your past relationship. "

The constable shivered and replied, "Yes!"

Shu Xiang's retorts caused them to suffer a loss. Huang Xin gritted his teeth and thought: You slut, just watch and see. Even if the magistrate protects you, so be it.

But I won't let you off so easily.

"This humble woman thanks the magistrate, but …" "I also want to tell those people who bullied us,"

Shu Xiang glanced at the exasperated Huang Xin and continued, "I, Shu Xiang, am not someone to be easily bullied. As the saying goes, a barefooted person is not afraid of shoes and a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Don't provoke his mistress!"

Everyone could not help but sigh. This woman was not to be trifled with!

Afterwards, Shu Xiang brought Little Baozi and Lingdang and left the County Government.

After leaving the County Government, Shu Xiang did not bring Little Baozi and Lingdang straight back to the dilapidated grass hut, but instead went to a clothing shop.

"Mother, did you bring us here to buy clothes?" Little Baozi tugged on the corner of Shu Xiang's clothes, his face full of anticipation.

Shu Xiang patted his head and looked at him lovingly. "Yeah! Lingdang, are you guys happy? "

"Mmm mmm mmm, mother is so good!"

"Yay!" "Yay!"

The two children cheered around Shu Xiang. Shu Xiang smiled in satisfaction as she looked at the two.

"Let's go in!" Shu Xiang took the children's hands and walked towards the door of the clothing store.

"Yo, madam, are you in the wrong place?"

Just as he was about to step into the door, a woman with a slightly plump body walked over and blocked his way.

Shu Xiang raised her gaze to look at the woman. She seemed to be in her thirties or forties, and her ordinary face was filled with sordid and scheming behavior. Although he was dressed extravagantly, the clothes he wore were of the lowest quality. The gold and silver hairpin in his hair was also of the lowest quality.

Leaning against the wooden door, she lazily glanced at Shu Xiang and her sons, then shrewdly sized them up. Seeing their shabby clothes, a hint of coldness flashed through her eyes.

"Then tell me, do I …" Shu Xiang caught her gaze, took out the silver from her waist, and placed it on her palm. She waved it in front of the woman's eyes and said, "Come to the wrong place."

"Ah!" "No, no.

The woman was stunned for a moment. Then, her eyes started to shine as she stared at the silver. The coldness in her eyes had vanished and was replaced by greed. He glanced at Shu Xiang and the two children again, but there was still no respect in his eyes.

The woman steadied herself and walked slowly through the door. She turned around and called out, "Follow me."

Shu Xiang glanced at the clothes in the shop and picked three items. She felt that the materials were not bad and asked, "Lady Boss, what are the prices of the clothes here?"

"Well... I'll give you guys a bit cheaper, for one lord, two children for a silver coin, "The Lady Boss gave you three pieces of inferior clothing," These three items are worth a silver coin, not a single cent less. "

Truly a cunning merchant. Don't think that your aunt doesn't know what's good for her. Even a low-grade item like that could be sold for many times over. In the 21st century, I think you better hope for good fortune and close the door as soon as possible.

"Don't go! Big sister. "I'll just add those three points to you. However, can you give me some money? After all, I'm also in the small business." The Lady Boss clenched her teeth and steeled her heart to finalize this matter.

"Alright, then wrap these four pieces of clothing for me."

Shu Xiang changed the clothes for Little Baozi and Bell.

If you want clothes, you have to wear them. After changing out of their dirty clothes and putting on new and clean clothes, the two children looked more in good spirits.
