Chapter 525: Threatening young master Zhou
Translator: Lonelytree
Zhou Wencai wiped the sweat from his forehead again. When he saw his father’s pale face, he immediately stepped forward to smooth things over. “Miss Lin, don’t mind him. My father was just joking. My father has been a County Magistrate for a long time, so he naturally has the air of an official. Therefore, he will naturally be a little angry at thedisobedience. However, he was only angry. He would never harm others for his own selfish reasons.
“Although my father isn’t a perfect official, he’s a really good official. He’s a good official who has done many things for the people of An Ding County. He’s a good official who has never harmed anyone.
“So, my father only said those words out of anger. He just wanted the tens of thousands of people in An Ding County to have a good harvest as soon as possible.
“Miss Lin, you’re a magnanimous person, so please don’t hold it against my father. I, Zhou wencai, would like to apologize to you for his mistake.”
With that said, Zhou Wencai stood up before anyone could react and bowed to Lin yuelan apologetically.
His words were clearly directed at Lin yuelan, but in fact, they were directed at Jiang Zhennan.
To be honest, Lin yuelan was stunned by Zhou Wencai’s speech. Then, Jiang Zhennan’s face darkened. However, the one who was most surprised was his father, County Magistrate Zhou.
County Magistrate Zhou was able to become a County Magistrate by relying on his own abilities. Capable people were never stupid. Furthermore, as Zhou Wencai’s father, he was the person who understood Zhou wencai the most.
Therefore, he could clearly feel his precious son’s anxious tone as well as nervous and uneasy attitude.
Therefore, his heart was in turmoil, and his thoughts turned several times. However, during this time, he clearly felt two sharp lights shooting at him, and his whole body ached.
He looked in the direction of the light with some doubt. Then, he was even more surprised.
The source of these two sharp glints was obviously the young man sitting next to Lin yuelan.
This man was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. He had an overbearing aura and did not look like an ordinary farmer.
He then remembered that his son had told him that Lin yuelan’s house had a group of guests, and these guests were all noble people in the capital. Therefore, they must not offend Lin yuelan and those guests.
So, could this man be one of the guests?
So, his son was so anxious because of this man and not because of Lin yuelan?
After thinking this through, County Magistrate Zhou secretly glanced at his son from the corner of his eyes. The hearts of father and son were connected, and they had a tacit understanding. When he secretly looked at his son, his son was also secretly giving him a look.
Therefore, the answer was self-evident!
County Magistrate Zhou immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Then, his first thought was to remedy the situation.
Therefore, when he was about to speak, Lin yuelan spoke first.
Lin yuelan said, ” County Magistrate Zhou, whether you believe it or not, I’m telling the truth. I don’t want to explain, and I won’t explain. If you really hold a grudge against me because of this, then I will take it.
“Of course. If you believe me, we can work together in another way!”
After saying this to County Magistrate Zhou, Lin yuelan immediately said to Zhou Wencai, ” young master Zhou, what are you saying? I’m just a commoner, a village farmer’s daughter. What right do I have to forgive an official like Magistrate Zhou?
“Besides, just like you said, Magistrate Zhou was angry because I said something too wrong. It was not his fault.
“Besides, Magistrate Zhou doesn’t need my forgiveness at all. Otherwise, if word gets out, it’ll damage Lord Zhou’s dignity, don’t you think so?”
This was clearly a very smart way of handling things.
It was very straightforward and neat. She understood that things weren’t black and white, and her character was upright and unyielding.
She knew very well that Zhou Wencai’s nervous and afraid attitude was because of Jiang Zhennan, who was beside him. She was merely using his power to her advantage.
Therefore, she wasn’t too sharp or unyielding towards County Magistrate Zhou. She merely spoke as it was. As for Zhou wencai, she was giving him a warning and threatening look.
The warning and threat, of course, referred to Jiang Zhennan’s current identity.
She knew very well that as soon as she and Jiang Zhennan left this place, the county Magistrate would definitely ask his son about Jiang Zhennan’s identity.
Therefore, Lin yuelan’s warning was directed at Young Master Zhou.
If he was not careful, County Magistrate Zhou’s reputation would be ruined.
Zhou Wencai wasn’t the only one who understood Lin yuelan’s words. County Magistrate Zhou also understood what she meant despite his doubts.
Therefore, the county Magistrate looked at Jiang Zhennan with a surprised expression. He was even more confused about this person.
What was this person’s identity?
Zhou wencai was well aware of Lin yuelan’s intentions.
He looked at Lin yuelan in surprise and then at the general’s serious and cold face. He immediately caught a glimpse of the general’s stern warning look.
Zhou Wencai was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on both sides of his forehead.
He raised his hand and carefully wiped it. His face was a little red, and he said with an anxious smile, ” Miss Lin, I’m too nervous. Please forgive me!”
Lin yuelan nodded and said jokingly, ” young master Zhou, I’m not a ferocious beast. Why should you be afraid of me?” Then, she looked at County Magistrate Zhou and asked, ” County Magistrate Zhou, what do you think of my suggestion just now? ”
County Magistrate Zhou, “…”
Zhou Wencai, “…”
