Chapter 447 Shameless
Zhuang listened carefully to every word they said, and when she heard that their actions had ruined her son's future, she regretted it very much.
But when he heard that Mingshu was appointed as the governor of agriculture, he found it unbelievable. He was shocked but also felt a little lucky.
"Mother, she is only a ninth rank, far inferior to my father-in-law. Besides, we are not asking her to enter the mansion as a concubine. She is her cousin, and it is her honor to be Yanli's concubine."
After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Mrs. Niu was so angry that she covered her chest with her hands.
"You are crazy, you are absolutely crazy. There is no hope for you."
Mrs. Niu was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped her.
"Do you really want to kill the entire Niu family? Do you want to give up the future of your husband and son? Do you want to give up the reputation of the Niu family?"
"From today on, don't go out anymore, and don't meet Yan Li anymore. Go back to your yard and reflect on your actions."
Mrs. Niu was so angry that her daughter-in-law usually looked very smart, so how could she be so stupid this time?
Seeing Zhuang covering her face and leaving, the nanny next to her hurriedly tried to comfort her.
"Madam, the young lady is just confused for a moment. It will be fine once she figures it out. The young lady dotes on the young master too much. Whenever she encounters something related to the young master, she will be a little confused..."
"You're right. I think so too. They shouldn't see each other for the time being. Send someone to watch over them."
Mrs. Niu rubbed her temples, which helped to dispel some of her fatigue.

It was already getting dark when Chengfeng returned to the barracks. Bonfires and torches were lit everywhere in the barracks, bringing out the joy on his face.
"Master, it has been done. Magistrate Niu was very quick. That kid can't go out now. His butt has been beaten to a pulp."
Qi Rui closed the book in front of him and smiled, "I didn't expect Magistrate Niu to be so cruel. He beat his grandson without hesitation."
"I didn't expect that. I stayed behind to listen to the noise. I counted and found that he had been hit with ten big boards in total. It sounded like he had been beaten ruthlessly."
"Haha, that's fine. It can be considered as a vent for Mingshu's family. What kind of punishment will Magistrate Niu's daughter-in-law receive?"
Chengfeng told him everything, and Qi Rui nodded his head.
"After spending the past year with him, I have always felt that Magistrate Niu is not a fool. I don't think he knows anything about what happened today."
"Master, it is true. As soon as I opened my mouth, Magistrate Niu and the master's face changed immediately. When I returned home, his old lady was also kept in the dark."
After Qi Rui verified what he was thinking, he stopped thinking about it.
"By the way, did you tell them about this when you passed by Old Zhou's house?"
This question really hits the nail on the head.
He immediately nodded excitedly, "Master, I have already told Miss Mingshu that the old lady of the Zhou family has always been grateful for your great kindness."
"Alright, alright, there's nothing else to do. You can go down and rest first. Pay more attention to the Niu family's affairs and don't let those idiots cause more trouble for the Zhou family.
"Yes, master."
Chengfeng went down obediently, and Qi Rui crossed his legs and read leisurely.
It's such a joy to take care of little things for Mingshu.
At this time, the Zhou family was in an uproar, and those who knew the inside story were very happy.
Although Zhou Mingqi didn't know what had happened, seeing that everyone was in a good mood, she became happy too. In short, she was happy as long as her family was happy.
When everyone praised Lord Qi for loving the people like his own children and being a good official, only Zhou Mingshu felt sweet in his heart. Lord Qi was not just upholding justice for the people, right? There might be some other feelings mixed in.
the next day.
Not long after the Zhou family finished preparing breakfast, the small restaurant welcomed another rare guest.
Hey~, isn’t this County Magistrate Niu?
Because of what happened yesterday, Old Lady Zhou hadn't recovered yet and was not as friendly to County Magistrate Niu as before.
"Mr. County Magistrate, why are you here so early? Is there something to do at the mine? Have you had breakfast yet? How about having some here?"
Although I feel unhappy, I still have to be polite to guests as they are my guests.
Seeing that Old Lady Zhou still treated him the same as before, County Magistrate Niu felt even more ashamed.
"Old sister, I'm really sorry for you and your family. I didn't want what happened yesterday. My daughter-in-law and grandson are really disappointing. They have caused you and your family a lot of trouble. I came here today to apologize to you. I prepared a small gift. You must accept it. Otherwise, I will always feel uncomfortable and have a knot in my heart."
Magistrate Niu held on to Old Lady Zhou's elbow and led them into the private room upstairs. There were so many people in the restaurant that he was too embarrassed to shout loudly outside.
Old Mrs. Zhou did not expect that County Magistrate Niu came specially to apologize, and she was truly flattered.
He quickly smiled and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, you are too kind to me and my family. How can we accept your apology? I dare not accept this gift. I don't care about the children's affairs."
When County Magistrate Niu heard what Old Lady Zhou said, he became anxious.
"Old sister, you must not say that. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If you make a mistake, you must take responsibility. The children at home were really inappropriate. They didn't tell us before they came, otherwise I would never let them come to disturb you rashly. My daughter-in-law and grandson were severely punished by me yesterday, and now they are still lying in bed and unable to get up. Otherwise, I would bring them here to apologize to you in person. We were indeed wrong in this matter. In the future, I, Niu, will definitely educate the children well and correct the family tradition. Such mistakes will never be made again..."
Magistrate Niu spoke sincerely and confidently, and said a lot of things continuously. Although Mrs. Zhou was confused by what he said, she still accepted his apology and took the gift.
"We have been with the county magistrate for more than half a year and we feel that what happened yesterday is not like the county magistrate's style, so we did not take it to heart. County magistrate Niu should relax. It happened that Lord Qi had dinner here yesterday, otherwise we would not have gone to you to gossip. I see that it is getting late, so let the children cook two side dishes for you to fill your stomach."
Old Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, and Magistrate Niu beside her nodded as she listened. When he heard that they wanted to prepare some food for him, he simply waved his hand to refuse.
"I won't bother you, elder sister. I had already had breakfast when I came. I just happened to have something to do at the military defense camp, so I won't disturb you from your work."
After what happened, he no longer had the face to eat in other people's restaurants.
Seeing County Magistrate Niu holding up his coat and going downstairs, Old Lady Zhou no longer tried to stop him.
After all, Magistrate Niu is a high-ranking official in Sanshui County, so it is normal for him to have some official business. Maybe he really has something important to do when he comes to see Lord Qi.
Old Madam Zhou, Old Man Zhou and a few others escorted Magistrate Niu back to the carriage and watched them drive towards the military defense camp.
