Chapter 463 If you want to bully people, you've come to the wrong place.
Lin Chang'er stared with innocent eyes, her gaze shifting between the two, master and servant, before finally settling on County Magistrate Li, her expression full of doubt as if to say, "Are these two out of their minds?"
County Magistrate Li's face also turned ashen. He thought to himself that Master Lin hadn't said anything, and his suggestion was reasonable, so why did the two of them, master and servant, make such a fuss?
Even the woman who was leading the way for Lin Chang'er felt that the master and servant were bullying her and looked at Lin Chang'er with concern.
County Magistrate Li thought to himself, "This person was brought by me. Although she is Lord Wu's cousin, this is Ninghai County."
Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Miss Lin now enjoys a high reputation in the county and is also a close friend of the elders in her family, despite their age difference.
He certainly couldn't stand by and watch Miss Lin be bullied.
He immediately said, "Miss Cai..." It was his suggestion; if there's anything, you can confront him.
However, before he could finish speaking, Lin Chang'er interrupted, "Miss Cai, right? Are we that familiar?"
Miss Cai was taken aback. "I have never had any dealings with you before, so how can we be considered acquaintances?"
Lin Chang'er then said, "Since we're not familiar with each other, why should I invite you to my home to treat you well?"
Miss Cai was taken aback again, as if she realized that she had been slighted. She immediately blushed and said, "Everyone who comes to my door is a guest. I have come all the way from the capital to deliver a message for you. Shouldn't you treat me well?"
"As expected, I wasn't wrong about you, you peasant..."
She was grumbling and cursing, which Lin Chang'er found noisy, so she interrupted her, "So you really came to deliver a message to me?"
She paused for a moment, then gave a disdainful smile. "I didn't see the letter, but I was given a random scolding. I don't know whose power Miss Cai is relying on. If I didn't know better, I would think you came here specifically to make things difficult for me."
“You…” Miss Cai’s face turned red and then pale, her five fingers under her wide sleeves digging into her palms so hard they almost drew blood.
He stared intently at Lin Chang'er, initially thinking she was just an ordinary peasant woman whom he could easily manipulate. Unexpectedly, she had seen through his thoughts.
As the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, she certainly wouldn't make a special trip to deliver a letter for a village woman.
If she hadn't subtly inquired with people returning to Beijing and learned that her cousin had been having close contact with a village woman surnamed Lin after taking up his post, she wouldn't have known.
She would never come to such a godforsaken place.
But now that she's gotten involved with her cousin, she has to be careful.
Although everyone knows that my cousin's assignment to a post outside the capital is just to achieve some results and gain seniority, and once his term is up, he will definitely return to the capital.
My cousin's wife was certainly not a country bumpkin. A fleeting affair was one thing, but what man doesn't have affairs? Especially in this remote and impoverished place, she was just a free servant to take care of my cousin.
But if this woman is skilled enough to coax her cousin into becoming a concubine in the future, then that would truly be disgusting.
She naturally couldn't tolerate it either, so she came here today specifically to test this woman's true colors.
Although I was reluctant to admit it, in terms of looks, she was outstanding even in the capital, and on par with me.
But being of peasant origin, his manners were indeed crude.
Even so, she was already on high alert, and no matter what, she couldn't let her get close to her cousin again.
Once she got back, she wrote to her aunt, asking her to send over a few maids to serve her personally.
Even if my cousin accepts my offer, I can still keep him under my control.
"What?" Lin Chang'er saw that she had been silent for a long time, as if she was in a daze, or perhaps she was planning some new trick to deal with her.
He immediately added, "If you, young lady, politely explain your purpose and deliver the letter, I will certainly treat you as an honored guest and treat you well."
"But if you're looking for an excuse to yell at and bully people, then you've come to the wrong place..."
