Everyone present was shocked by this movement.
Magistrate Li, who was sitting next to the door of the box, was so frightened that he turned into a round ball and almost jumped from his chair.
Ji Wanrong frowned and looked up, and what he saw was a middle-aged woman with a medium build, wearing a camel-breasted jacket with a side-breasted collar and an eyebrow, walking into the side room with a fierce look.
Without even looking at the people in the box, she pinpointed Magistrate Li's position and launched a fierce attack on him.
"I knew you had something going on outside! I've had people keep an eye on you for many days, and I finally caught you!"
She pinched Magistrate Li's ears with one hand and lifted him up.
Magistrate Li let out a pig-killing howl: "What on earth are you talking about? I'm having guests!"
Seeing the scene in front of them, Ji Wanrong and his group were so frightened that they sat where they were, not daring to move.
Master Zhang, who was standing next to him, saw this scene and hurriedly stepped forward, then carefully pulled the two of them apart: "Madam, Madam! The county magistrate is discussing official business at the moment!"
"Take a good look, who's sitting inside! He's here to discuss business!"
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she turned her head with a cold face, glanced at Ji Wanrong, and quickly turned her head back: "Women, beautiful women, and beautiful men!"
"Tell me, what kind of business do you want to discuss? I'm afraid it won't be a flesh and blood business, right?"
When Ji Wanrong heard this, he frowned slightly and realized that the woman in front of him was probably Mr. Li's wife.
She had previously suspected that the magistrate had someone outside her, so she came here to catch him today.
Shi Heng also thought of this, and then said with some embarrassment: "I am the Zheng family from Jiangnan. I came here with my wife specially to discuss the business of Scotch pine with Mr. Li. Please don't misunderstand me."
Shi Heng's clear voice reached everyone's ears, making people feel refreshing.
The lady then put down the hand that was holding her ear in disbelief.
"Have you discussed business with others?"
"What business are you discussing with others? You don't..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mr. Li angrily: "It's the business of Scotch pine! Apart from this, what other business can we discuss?"
"What do you, a woman, know? Why don't you get out of here?"
Perhaps because he felt that he had lost face in front of strangers, County Magistrate Li acted extremely domineering this time. After saying this, he immediately drove away the magistrate's wife beside him.
The county magistrate's wife knew that she was in the wrong. Even though Magistrate Li yelled back, she didn't say anything else and walked out the door.
When County Magistrate Li saw the door of the wing closed, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down again.
"It's ugly, it's ugly! This is really a family scandal!" County Magistrate Li smiled sarcastically.
"My lady is quite sweet-tempered and a bit cute." Ji Wanrong kept the reactions of Magistrate Li and her wife in mind, and then spoke with a smile.
The few people chatted all over the world for a while. Magistrate Li looked at Ji Wanrong and others opposite, still thinking about what happened just now.
I couldn't bear the embarrassment anymore, so I ended the meeting in a hurry.
After the group broke up, Ji Wanrong and the others started wandering around the streets of Xun County under the pretext of eating.
The streets of Xun County in the afternoon were the same as what they had seen in the morning. There were no pedestrians on the streets, let alone streetwalkers like them, wandering lazily.
Ji Wanrong squinted her eyes and scanned the surroundings. From the corner of her eye, she saw Mo Jiecheng take a few steps forward unexpectedly and walk side by side with her.
"There was something wrong with the county magistrate's wife just now." Mo Jiecheng whispered in Ji Wanrong's ear.
The streets are empty, and although Magistrate Li may send people to follow them, it is the only place where they can communicate.
If you get to the county magistrate's house, you will have to live under his strict surveillance.
"What?" Ji Wanrong turned his head and asked doubtfully.
"Although she has a strong demeanor, every move she makes subconsciously is somewhat disciplined, as if she has learned court etiquette, or has a nanny around who has taught her court etiquette."
Ji Wanrong listened, paused slightly, and then walked forward naturally: "County Magistrate Li seems to be very afraid of his wife. Mrs. Li's usual behavior must have overwhelmed him."
"...In other words, this county magistrate's wife may be related to the queen?"
Ji Wanrong looked back at Mo Jiecheng, and then whispered.
Mo Jiecheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the county magistrate's office, he was on the slightly busier main road. There were so many people and Ji Wanrong didn't dare to say anything more.
She followed Shi Heng aimlessly on the street, and then saw another stall on the right.
The stalls sell some wood carvings. The raw materials are made of Pinus sylvestris from Xun County, and the wood carvings have a variety of shapes.
There are little lions and little tigers, which look quite agile.
There are some wooden hairpins next to them, one end of which is carved into the shape of begonia flowers and magnolia flowers, which is very delicate.
The person guarding the stall was a beautiful woman who looked quite young. Her hair had been pulled into a woman's bun, and her figure looked like she had just given birth.
When Ji Wanrong saw her, he felt that she was a little different from other peasant women in the city. She looked fresh and fresh.
She ran to the side of the stall, picked a wooden sculpture at random, played with it, and then casually opened her mouth to the woman.
"This wood carving looks very beautiful. Did you carve it?"
The young woman smiled shyly: "I just have nothing to do and carve for myself."
"Madam, are you here to visit Xun County?" she asked.
Ji Wanrong smiled and nodded: "Xun County has a lot of food, but one thing makes me feel strange. Where have all the men in this city gone? There are only children and old people on the street."
She smiled harmlessly, making people unable to be defensive: "I just think that since you don't have a man in your family, is it a bit hard to do business?"
The young woman smiled when she heard this. She didn't talk to anyone for a long time. When Ji Wanrong asked, she was unprepared.
"They all go to work on weekdays and come back when they have a break. There will never be no men at home."
Have you all gone to work?
When Ji Wanrong heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Where did you men go to work? What kind of work did you do?"
