Chapter 702: Madam Gu the dried fig
Chapter 702: Madam Gu the dried fig
Village head Gu was very much pleased when she heard that Magistrate Li along with Qiao Sha was coming to their small village. If she knew that something like this was going to happen then she would have asked the villagers to clean the village and even made sure to ask them to cover the path with a velvety carpet to welcome these two big shots.
‘ Eh, but why I am worrying about it?’ The village head thought in her head, she was no longer the village head, the person who was going to become the village head was Yu Dong this was her responsibility, and there was no need for her to worry about anything.
Village head Gu nodded with her arms crossed in front of her, however as soon as she opened her eyes and looked at the calm Magistrate Li who was sitting in the carriage with a cup of tea in her hands. Even though the carriage was bumping into the potholes that were on road, Magistrate Li did not drop even a single drop of tea on the floor and continued to sip her tea without any flicker of expression.
Qiao Sha who was the Marquis had her elbow resting on the window of the carriage that was opened for the air to ventilate inside the carriage, her hair that was tied in a high ponytail fluttering along with her bangs as she looked around with vigilant eyes.
Madam Gu who was not used to sitting among such people whose aura was on another level and cried inside her heart, if she knew that she would be constipated like this after travelling with these two women, she would have chosen to walk back to the village.
” Madam Gu, would you like a cup of tea?” Magistrate Li asked as she looked at Madam Gu who was sitting opposite her with a twisted look on her face which made her wonder whether the poor woman was upset because of the loss of her position. ” If you are not feeling good then you should drink this tea, it’s exported from the country I, its smell is rather sweet and when you drink it, you feel rejuvenated.”
” No, No, it’s all right,” Madam Gu raised her hands and waved off Magistrate Li’s offer. She was asking her to drink tea that was exported from another country. No thanks. She was happy with just warm water with brown sugar, if she was to drink such an expensive tea, Madam Gu was worried that she might lose her appetite completely.
‘ I just want to arrive at the village and go back to my house,’ Madam Gu thought with a smile that was even worse than crying.
“Are you really sure?” Magistrate Li did not understand that the reason for Madam Gu’s discomfort was her and Qiao Sha since she has been rather nice and approachable towards Madam Gu. With a naive tilt of her head, she once again said, ” You look a bit uncomfortable, Madam Gu. Are you worried about the aftermath of this incident? You don’t have to worry about it, we won’t hold you responsible since you have handed the culprit to the authorities is you have tried to hide her then it would have been a different situation.”
Qiao Sha who was staying silent till now turned to look at Madam Gu who was thinking of a way to answer when she was interrupted by Qiao Sha who giggled and then said, ” You are really naive madam Gu is uncomfortable because she is sitting with us, commoners are not used to travelling with the people of authority. It’s our presence that is making her uncomfortable, isn’t that right Madam Gu?”
” Oh no,” Madam Gu immediately refused as she waved her hands helplessly as she raised her hand and rubbed the back of her head and made an excuse with all the wits that she had in her head. “It’s because I am not used to travelling with carriages, generally wherever I go, I go on foot which is why I am feeling a bit uncomfortable and nothing else.”
Like hell, she was going to say yes to that question!
” Is that so?” Qiao Sha raised a brow, an evil glint flashed in her eyes as she thought of a way to tease this woman even more. ” If that is the case should I ask the driver to slow down the speed?”
Slow down the speed= more time to return to the village.
Village head Gu made a swift calculation in her head and immediately said, ” NO!” Maybe her refusal was too strong which was why the two women turned to look at her with confusion and amusement in their eyes.
Madam Gu understood that Qiao Sha was trying to tease her, she lowered her head and smiled greasily, ” I mean we are going to arrive at the village there is no need for you to trouble yourself so much.” And stop troubling me as well!
Magistrate Li did not understand the silent plea of Madam Gu but Qiao Sha, of course, understood the gaze that was locked on her which was why she chuckled in response nonetheless she stopped teasing Madam Gu who heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon the three of them reached the village and Madam Gu stepped out of the carriage after Magistrate Li and Qiao Sha, she did not even get a chance to breathe the fresh air of the village when she heard someone shout, “YU DONG PUNCHED SOMEONE!”
