Chapter 1844: Madam Chang
Editor: Henyee Translations
Outside the window, Gu Yundong frowned slightly and pricked up her ears. She could not help but listen more carefully.
"My lord, what if the Yang family has a backer and wants to overturn the case against the previous county magistrate’s family? If they find out that I was once the concubine of the Ren family and stole the evidence, will they still let me live?"
Gu Yundong suddenly turned her head and looked at Shao Qingyuan.
Wasn’t the Ren family Yang He’s maternal family? Was this Madam Chang originally a concubine of the Ren family?
Madam Chang spoke softly and tenderly, which made people pity her. The county magistrate seemed to fall for it and instantly felt sorry for her. He hugged Madam Chang and comforted her. "It’s fine. I’ve already gotten information from them during the day. Although Princess Yongjia was personally conferred the title of princess by the emperor, she doesn’t have much background. She’s just a farm girl who accidentally contributed to the court. The emperor specially gave her such a title for the sake of the reputation of the common people."
Although County Magistrate Mao was comforting Madam Chang, the more he spoke, the calmer he became and the more determined he sounded.
"We have Marquis Pingnan backing us, and Marquis has someone backing him. Although I don’t know who this person is, it’s still a little lacking for a common princess to deal with us."
Madam Chang heaved a sigh of relief and leaned against the county magistrate’s chest. She echoed, "I’m relieved to hear that. With you around, I’m not afraid of anything."
"Be a good girl. With me around, I won’t let anything happen to you. Besides, it’s been fifteen years since that incident. Even if they want to investigate, they won’t be able to find anything."
"Yeah."
Madam Chang leaned against him weakly. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she smiled sweetly.
From Gu Yundong’s angle, she happened to see a glint in her eyes.
No wonder this woman could be so favored. She used to be a concubine of the Ren family and was not young anymore, but she could still capture the county magistrate’s heart and make him focused on her.
Madam Chang seemed to know County Magistrate Mao very well. Everything she said and did suited his taste.
As expected, after this conversation, County Magistrate Mao’s impetuous mood was suppressed.
He stretched and patted Madam Chang’s shoulder. "It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed."
Actually, he was quite tired today, especially when he was facing Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong. He put all his energy into dealing with them, so at night, all his fatigue surged.
Madam Chang nodded coquettishly. "I’ll fan you."
The two of them walked towards the bed. Not long after, the sound of fans could be heard. It was very soft.
After a few seconds, County Magistrate Mao’s snores could be heard.
Gu Yundong was speechless. This guy fell asleep instantly. Wasn’t that too fast?
After Madam Chang fell asleep, the two of them got up and left through the window.
Gu Yundong glanced at the window that was still blocked by the stone and whispered, "When are we going in?"
"In about half an hour. We’ll talk about it when they’re sound asleep."
This was the main house of County Magistrate Mao. If he didn’t want to go to his wife’s or concubine’s courtyard, he would rest here.
Therefore, there was a high chance that something private was hidden here.
The two of them hid in the corner and waited for time to pass.
However, before half an hour had passed, Dali quietly came over.
When he was nearby, he followed the contact information they had agreed on and let out two low frog cries.
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong immediately walked out from the corner.
