Song Jingchen’s heart skipped a beat at her straightforward words. The depression brought about by Fan Mingyuan instantly dissipated, and he gestured at Shen Yijia to come closer.

Shen Yijia meekly squatted down and looked up at him.

Song Jingchen was amused by her appearance. He reached out and rubbed her head, sighing softly. “Fortunately, I still have you…”

Shen Yijia didn’t hear Song Jingchen’s words clearly. Seeing his smile, she knew that he was no longer angry. She grinned.

The snow fell intermittently for another half a month.

It wasn’t just Qingping Town, the streets of Anyang County were all filled with people shivering in the cold. Furthermore, there were many refugees who were barred from entering the city.

Places like dilapidated temples which could block the wind and snow were filled with people.

Almost every five steps, there would be a corpse. They were all commoners who had frozen to death on the road.

They were so hungry that some people even fought over the corpses that had just died.

Sorrowful cries could be heard everywhere.

In the county magistrate’s residence, County Magistrate Cao was so angry that he threw a good tea set to the ground.

The county magistrate’s wife walked in crying and asked angrily, “My lord, haven’t you found the b*tch who killed Jun’er?”

At the thought of his precious son who had died tragically, County Magistrate Cao closed his eyes in pain. He had more than ten concubines, but he only had one son.

Moreover, he was already quite old when his son was born. As the county magistrate, he was like the local emperor of Anyang County.

He would never have expected that there would be a day when someone would dare to attack his lifeblood.

However, there was such a person, and it was a woman. He really wanted to chop that b*tch into pieces, but it could not relieve the pain of losing his son.

“Master, say something! Did you catch that b*tch or not?” The county magistrate’s wife twisted her handkerchief and asked. When she said the word “b*tch”, her face twisted.

County Magistrate Cao said impatiently, “Alright, are you done? I’ll take revenge for Jun’er. I won’t let him die in vain.”

After his son died, the county magistrate’s wife came every day to ask about him. County Magistrate Cao was extremely annoyed.

“You say that every time.” The county magistrate’s wife’s voice became sharp. She said stubbornly, “Are you still useful? It’s been so long, but you haven’t captured that bitch.”

She was no longer young. She was older than all the women in his harem.

However, she still held on to her position as the county magistrate’s wife because she had borne him a son.

But now he was gone. Everything was gone.

Normally, she would not have dared to speak to him like this.

However, every time she thought of her son’s appearance when his corpse was carried back, she wished she could grind the bones of the murderer to dust.

However, County Magistrate Cao hadn’t been able to capture the culprit yet. How could she not go crazy?

County Governor Cao was shocked by her crazy behavior. He rubbed his temples tiredly and comforted her. “Don’t worry, we’ve already found her. We’ll capture her in two days. Don’t worry about her. I’ll definitely make her suffer.”

Since Manager Feng had the intention to capture that person and make her suffer, he would leave it at that.

Rather than letting her die easily, it was indeed better to send her there.

With that, County Magistrate Cao immediately called for someone to come in. “Send Madam back to her room. Don’t let her out without my permission in the future.”

This meant that the Madam was grounded.
