Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

"Damn it, I can't swallow this anger. Tomorrow I will let this woman know how powerful I am."

In the early morning, a light mist filled the Shanshui Village.

In the countryside, villagers will get up as soon as the rooster crows, and work from sunrise to sunset.

Since she had developed the habit of sleeping in while in the palace, Su Xuqing usually got up late, but as a guest in this place, it was not difficult for her to sleep in.

Because every household raises chickens, when one household crows, all the households join in, even if they don't want to.

Early in the morning, the old lady cooked some rice porridge and mixed some pickles. Yinhuan and Taozi helped to serve them on the table, and then she helped Su Xu wash and rinse her mouth.

While the three were having breakfast, the old lady came over awkwardly, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Su Xuqing looked up at her in confusion, "What's wrong, Auntie? Is the money you gave not enough?"

"No, no, no, that's not it."

The old lady wiped her hands on her apron, closed the door nervously, and then lowered her voice and said, "Girl, you should leave as soon as you finish your meal. I just heard from others that the village chief went to the county town to ask the county magistrate to arrest you."

"Huh? He cheated you out of your money, and you dare to file a complaint first?"

The old lady sighed when she heard this, "Young lady, you don't know that two years ago, the village chief's youngest daughter married the county magistrate as a concubine. No one in the surrounding area dared to mess with him. You beat him up yesterday, so he must be taking revenge on you."

Su Xuqing smiled slightly when she heard that, not caring at all.

"It doesn't matter. Let them take revenge."

Yinhuan nodded and said with some pride: "Our wife is..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Xuqing kicked the silver ring under the table with her foot, and then took over the conversation and said, "She is just the wife of a merchant family, so don't show off."

Seeing that Su Xuqing was not afraid at all, the old lady said nothing more, collected the dishes and went to the kitchen.

After she left, Yinhuan looked at Su Xuqing in confusion.

"Ma'am, why do you lie?"

Su Xuqing reached out and pinched her cheek, "Are you stupid? If this old lady had the intention, she would have told us last night that the village chief's daughter was marrying the county magistrate. Besides, we live in her house, so how could she know that the village chief went to see the county magistrate?"

Yinhuan's eyes turned slightly, "Madam, do you mean that she was sent by the village chief to test us?"

"You're finally smart for once."

Su Xuqing let go of the soft flesh with satisfaction.

Taozi, who was standing aside, showed a look of surprise. The Crown Prince's wife was really meticulous and discovered the problem in just a few words.

"Then what should we do next?"

Su Xuqing looked outside the door and smiled slightly, "Wait, if the county magistrate is really in cahoots with the village chief, then he will be in big trouble."

As they were talking, there was a noise outside the door.

With a clang, the door of the courtyard was kicked open and a man in green official uniform strode in.

The man was in his forties, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, a small moustache, and a greasy smell.

He swaggered and shouted sharply, "Who was the person who hurt my father-in-law yesterday? Come out immediately."

Su Xuqing sneered and slowly stood up. "Look, here comes this blind guy."

Her voice was so soft that the county magistrate did not hear her. When he saw her coming out, he asked arrogantly, "You are the one who hurt my father-in-law?"

Su Xuqing half-squinted at him and asked slowly, "Your father-in-law colluded with the witch to defraud the villagers of money and tried to dig up other people's graves without permission. Shouldn't he be beaten?"

"nonsense!"

The county magistrate shouted loudly, "What we heard in this county is that you played tricks to deceive people, and then tortured them into confessing, which caused my father-in-law to suffer injustice and humiliation."

After that, the county magistrate waved his sleeves, pointed outside the door and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go out and find a villager. They can all testify for my father-in-law!"

Su Xuqing raised her eyebrows, it seemed that the county magistrate came prepared.

"I wanted to give you a chance, but since you are so stubborn, your career as a county magistrate has come to an end."

The county magistrate laughed loudly upon hearing this. "You are a wife of a merchant family, what can you do to me? I tell you honestly that even if the king of heaven comes today, you will have to go to the county jail!"

"Oh? Really? How come you are so capable?"

Behind the county magistrate, a tall figure walked in. Li Qing twisted his neck, making a crackling sound.

The county magistrate turned around, looking unhappy, "Who are you? Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"

Li Qing sneered.

"I'm afraid you can't bear it."

Li Qing pointed at Su Xuqing and said, "To tell you the truth, this is the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhennan Palace. You have offended the wrong person today."

The county magistrate's face changed, and he said in a cold voice: "How dare you pretend to be the Crown Prince's wife! How could such a noble person come to this remote place? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

After that, the county magistrate shouted, "Come here, arrest these criminals!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen constables rushed in from outside the door.

When the guards at the Zhennan Palace next door heard the noise, they jumped onto the wall and drew their swords.

Li Qing clenched his fists, his face showing a fierce look, "I haven't fought with anyone for a long time, today is just a warm-up, brothers, protect the Crown Prince's Consort, I will teach them a lesson!"

Li Qing punched and slapped hard, knocking more than a dozen constables to the ground. With the last slap, he knocked the county magistrate's black hat off.

The county magistrate staggered against the muddy courtyard wall, his cheeks visibly swollen.

He was a little panicked at this moment, and he cleared his throat and said, "You, you, you... you actually dared to attack the imperial court..."

Before he uttered the word "official", Li Qing took out a token from his bosom, on which was clearly written "Zhennan Palace Order".

The county magistrate's eyes were dull as he read it carefully over and over again.

He wailed and knelt, "I have offended the Crown Princess because I was blind and did not recognize the great man. I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me."

Su Xuqing was too lazy to waste words with such a villain.

"Li Qing, if a man stays in office for one more day, the people will suffer one more day. I don't understand what's going on in the court. How can we immediately dismiss him and investigate him?"

"This isn't a difficult matter. We just need to report the matter to the state government, and his superiors will naturally dismiss him."

Li Qing scratched his head and said, "But the state capital is quite far from here. It will probably take two days to come back."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we have to repair the tomb of Yinhuan's mother. I will stay here for a few days and leave this matter to you."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Su Xuqing's words, the county magistrate's face turned pale and he sat on the ground trembling.

Li Qing tied the county magistrate up and threw him onto his horse, then personally led a few people to the provincial capital.

After the farce ended, the villagers of Shanshui Village seemed to be in an uproar.

The Crown Prince’s Consort, the woman who came back with Yinhuan turned out to be the Crown Prince’s Consort.

In an instant, the courtyard where Su Xuqing lived seemed to have become some kind of holy place. Everyone dared only watch from afar and did not dare to get close.

The owner of the courtyard, Aunt Sun, felt a little guilty. After entering the door, she kept her head down and dared not speak.
