It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

"This bastard, what kind of magic potion did he give my daughter? I'm going to kill him." Lu Kui cursed Yuan Tianshi in anger.

Master Yuan was swinging on the bed when he suddenly sneezed four or five times in a row.

"I told you not to put these messy things on your body, but you insisted and made me sneeze." When Yuan Tianshi sneezed, his body shivered a few times and the swing stopped.

His attention was not focused on that aspect, and he was completely distracted by the sneeze.

Widow Cao angrily pushed the limp Yuan Tianshi off her body.

"Ever since you first disliked the smell of those things, I have never put them on my body."

"Who would wipe your tongue, when it's licking everywhere?"

Yuan Tianshi showed a puzzled look on his face, "Who is talking about me?"

Widow Cao glared at Master Yuan and grabbed his beard.

"While you were being nice to me, you hooked up with other bitches."

Yuan Tianshi slapped Widow Cao's hand away and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already this old, I can't even take care of you by myself, how can I have the energy to find someone else."

"It's definitely not a woman."

Widow Cao curled her lips and showed a look of contempt, "Apart from women, who else would talk about you?"

"No, I have to gather my energy. I have a feeling that something big is going to happen and I will be useful again." Master Yuan Tianshi muttered to himself as he put on his clothes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't scare me." Although Widow Cao cursed Master Yuan, her life had become much better since she followed Master Yuan. She also wore gold and silver jewelry, which made her hold her head high in the world of widows and walk with dignity.

"This new county magistrate is no ordinary person. I can only tell you this much. Don't go out and talk nonsense, or you might die in an unknown way." After giving this warning, Master Yuan turned around and quickly walked out of Widow Cao's yard.

Lu Xingchen smiled at Lu Kui. The original owner might be able to act like a spoiled child, but she really had no talent for that.

She imagined how a daughter should behave in front of her father.

After all, in her previous life, she had never been loved by her family, nor had she ever acted like a spoiled child in front of others.

"Dad, you asked me to be the county magistrate, and now I want to do something. But you don't support me and you're holding me back. If you don't support me, who else will?" Lu Xingchen sat stiffly on the chair and tried to pout.

This made her feel a little disgusted.

"Why don't you be the county magistrate yourself? You said you are tough anyway."

Lu Kui sighed, "Okay, I support you."

"But I can't tell this to you. You tell everyone yourself."

"Okay, I know. As long as Dad agrees, leave the rest to me." Lu Xingchen jumped up with satisfaction.

"Don't act like a spoiled child anymore. Acting like a spoiled child is uglier than crying. You're getting worse and worse at acting like a spoiled child." Lu Kui said helplessly.

Originally, he gave birth to a little cotton-padded jacket, the kind that was very caring, but he ended up raising her as a boy, and she became more and more like a man as she grew older.

He didn't know whether to be sad or relieved.

Just as Lu Xingchen was about to get up and leave, a servant beside the old butler hurried in.

"Master, the second master is back, but he is injured."

"How is the person? I hope his life is not in danger." Lu Kui asked hurriedly.

"It seems to be injured, but its life is not in danger. It was brought back by Master Zhang." The servant replied.

"It was me who asked Zhang Fan to send my second uncle out of Xing County. It seems that he encountered bandits as soon as he left Xing County." Lu Xingchen explained.

Lu Kui nodded slightly, then said to Lu Xingchen, "I only have this one brother. If he can change his mind, don't make things difficult for him."

"Dad, I know. I'll go take a look." Lu Xingchen said as he walked out.

It is not appropriate for Lu Kui to go in person, but Lu Xingchen, as a junior, should go to visit.

When Lu Xingchen arrived, the doctor had already arrived and was examining Lu Nie.

Lu Feng, Lu Yun, and Lu Xingzhu were both there.

When Zhang Fan saw her coming, he hurried over and pulled her outside.

"How is my second uncle?" Lu Xingchen looked at Zhang Fan and asked.

But she saw that Zhang Fan didn't seem to be injured.

"The second master was injured, but not seriously. His life is not in danger."

"But this time we went out, we lost more than a dozen brothers."

Lu Xingchen frowned slightly.

Whether she wants to defend Xing County or expand the territory in the future, she needs these combat-capable soldiers.

It is really heartbreaking to lose more than a dozen young and strong people for no reason.

After a while, the doctor came out of the room and said to Lu Xingchen, "The second master is fine. He just suffered some minor injuries, mainly from shock. He will be fine after lying down for a day."

Lu Xingchen nodded and went into the house.

"Brother..." Xingzhu pulled her sleeve, tears in her eyes and a face full of worry.

Lu Xingchen comforted him, "The doctor said that Second Uncle only suffered skin injuries, mainly due to shock. He will be fine after a night's sleep, don't worry."

Only then did Lu Xingzhu feel relieved and nodded.

"Brother Xingchen, don't blame him. My father was just confused for a moment." Lu Xingzhu looked at her with pleading eyes.

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, and then said, "Second Uncle was confused for a moment, but more than a dozen lives were lost. Those people are also other people's children. Their parents must be very sad."

Lu Xingzhu was speechless.

"When your second uncle wakes up, tell him to compensate the dozen or so young men. If they come to make trouble, I won't say anything nice to them." After Lu Xingchen finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

In fact, she saw that when she finished speaking, Lu Nie's fingers moved and the expression on his face changed.

Obviously, Lu Nie heard what she said, but he just pretended that he hadn't woken up yet.

At least he is an elder, so give him some face.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Xingchen sat in the yamen for almost an hour.

Every day she gets up early to practice martial arts, eats breakfast, and then goes to read.

Now she is the county magistrate and has to work in the government office.

There was nothing to do in the yamen, so she took the book and went to the yard of Mr. Guo in the backyard to ask Mr. Guo for a cup of tea.

The reason why she had nothing to do was that all matters had been handled by Master Guo and his men.

These matters in the county government were actually very simple for Mr. Guo.

When she walked in, Master Guo was lying on the armchair under the eaves, rocking in the chair and basking in the sun.

"The county magistrate is here." When Mr. Guo saw her come in, he did not stand up. He just picked up the fan beside him and waved it at her as a greeting.

"I came here to have a cup of tea." Lu Xingchen sat on the small stool next to Master Guo.

Then she skillfully placed the teapot on the small stove and began to grind the tea.

The snacks were ready, the water was boiled, and after brewing the tea, Lu Xingchen looked at Master Guo and said.

"There are three strongholds on Niutou Mountain. Which one should we attack first?" Lu Xingchen went straight to the point.

Master Guo stopped the armchair, sat up and looked at Lu Xingchen with interest, "I knew you weren't as cowardly as your father."
