Chapter 466 This excuse is quite reasonable
The girl's voice was soft and sweet, yet it carried a strong sense of urgency.
Without even looking, Lin Chang'er knew it must be her well-behaved little daughter, Gu Xiaolu.
Soon, Huo Shiyi and his men surrounded Miss Cai's carriage.
Lin Beishan, who was originally supervising the work at the front, rushed over when he heard the commotion.
The villagers from Xiahe Village who came to work mostly brought carrying poles, crowbars, and the like, and followed closely behind Lin Beishan.
In no time, the official road was packed with people.
Miss Cai and the few guards she brought were no match for them at all.
Miss Cai was truly panicked, but as a noble lady, she naturally couldn't bow down to these peasants.
He hurriedly pleaded for help from Magistrate Li, who was still pretending to be unconscious, "Lord Li, are you going to continue pretending? I was brought here by you. If anything happens to me here, my father will definitely not forgive you."
County Magistrate Li originally intended to feign unconsciousness and let the young lady bring about her own death, but he never expected things to develop as they have now.
Miss Lin is usually very sensible, but today she has probably been truly angered by this young lady.
Right now, the road is in chaos. Although no fighting has taken place, the scene itself is frightening enough.
Normally, Lin Da Dongjia would have stepped in to resolve the situation long ago.
But today, she actually sat down on the stone bench by the roadside and continued to make a ruckus.
He seemed oblivious to their presence, surrounded by a group of little ones, and was distributing snacks to them.
Gu's daughter, Xiaoman, secretly slipped her a handful of melon seeds.
She didn't stand on ceremony and started gnawing on it.
The other children weren't interested in her snacks; they just ate the treats they were given.
They surrounded her in circles.
Miss Cai dared not yell at her anymore, so she naturally turned her attention to him.
County Magistrate Li secretly felt that he was unlucky, but Miss Cai was right. If anything happened to her, he would be implicated.
Frustrated, Magistrate Li slowly rubbed his forehead and spoke, pretending that he had actually fainted, "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"
Everyone in Linshui Village, young and old, had met Magistrate Li.
But everyone was angry that Miss Cai had come to cause trouble, and in order to reduce his presence, Magistrate Li deliberately covered his face with his sleeve to hide himself.
The commotion made them recognize him.
Huo Shiyi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. "Lord Li, what brings you here? What just happened? Why did you faint next to this villain's carriage? Were you tormented by this villain?"
County Magistrate Li: "..." Well, although, there's no need to be so enthusiastic in finding excuses for him.
But to be honest, the reason is quite reasonable.
However, he couldn't admit it openly, so Magistrate Li gave an awkward smile and changed the subject, explaining the purpose of bringing Miss Cai here today.
Huo Shiyi was initially delighted, "There's news about Yan Qing and Zhao Ge'er?"
Then, as if remembering something else, he muttered, "I don't know what's wrong with Yan Qing and Zhao Ge'er. Why couldn't they just send a letter through the post station? Why did they have to send it through this wicked woman?"
"Sister Chang'er was humiliated for no reason."
County Magistrate Li knew the details of the matter far better than anyone else present.
But if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Magistrate Li pretended not to understand and asked, "What do you mean?"
Huo Shiyi then told him about the fight that had broken out and how Little Taro had gone to report it.
County Magistrate Li looked at Miss Cai as if he were very puzzled, and then said, "How could this be? On the way here, Miss Cai has not been so difficult to get along with."
Huo Shiyi pouted, "How can she not be difficult to get along with? Little Goldfish and the others even got into a fight with her guards."
County Magistrate Li frowned and turned to look at Miss Cai. He knew that Miss Cai had suffered a loss, but he did not expect her to suffer such a great loss.
Her entire head was almost completely covered in mud, and her expensive silk skirt was also soaked in mud. She was now huddled in her maid's arms, watching the crowd warily. Where was the arrogance she had shown when she arrived?
