County Magistrate Lin was so moved that he almost cried, "I am so lucky to marry such a good wife like you."
"Master, you think too highly of me. I am just a woman who has done the simplest thing of respecting my husband. By the way, Master, as for my mother... I entered the house yesterday, but I never greeted my mother, and she never showed up. Could it be that my mother hates me?"
County Magistrate Lin shook his head quickly, "No, no, why do you take all the responsibility on yourself, Madam? To be honest, my mother is a Buddhist and she kneels in the temple all day long. She rarely goes out. Even I often don't see my mother for several days."
"She doesn't like the hustle and bustle outside. You are not the only one. Among my previous wives, only the first one paid homage to heaven and earth and her parents. Mother refused, and as her son, I couldn't force her to do anything, so I could only agree."
"I just didn't expect that my wife would misunderstand me."
"It's fine for me," the "Madam" on the bed said with tears in her eyes, "My mother works hard for the family, so she should be the most important. Didn't I just say that wedding ceremonies are just worldly matters to me, I don't care, as long as the master and mother are comfortable, I'm fine with anything. And I don't feel wronged."
"Master, I'd better go with you to visit mother." "Madam" said, supporting herself on the bed with one pale hand and lifting the quilt with the other hand to get up.
"Mammy, come and help me change my clothes."
Seeing this, County Magistrate Lin cried out in his heart, "Help!" "Madam, no, you are still so weak, it is best for you to rest in bed."
"Master!" The weak "Madam" looked at County Magistrate Lin with tears in her eyes, "You are not pitying me, you are harming me."
County Magistrate Lin was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Madam: "It is natural to visit one's parents. It is filial piety. Today is the second day since I got married. I should visit my mother. If I don't go now, you are putting me in a position of disloyalty and unfilial piety. How can you bear it?"
County Magistrate Lin was somewhat at a loss: "But... But didn't you just say that you didn't care about these empty formalities?"
"I don't care. I don't mind any empty formalities. But when it comes to my family, I must be polite. This is not red tape, but respect. I respect you and my mother, so I should treat you with courtesy. If I just keep this respect and love in my heart, how can you know my friendship? These are what I should do."
"Please, sir, let me go with you to see Mother?"
County Magistrate Lin couldn't persuade the kind and stubborn woman in front of him, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you. There's no rush. I'll send someone to talk to my mother and ask her to wait for us for a while. You can take your time."
Madam's eyes instantly turned red, and she was so moved that she almost cried: "Thank you, sir, you are such a kind person, and you are different from the rumors outside."
County Magistrate Lin was slightly stunned. "What are people saying about me?"
Baili Xin: "They are just rumors. How can I remember them? I never believe them. Hearing is not believing, seeing is believing. I only believe what I see. Master, please go out and wait for me. I don't want you to see me changing clothes in such a mess. I just want to show you my best side."
County Magistrate Lin was deeply moved after hearing this. "Okay, okay, whatever the madam says is fine. I'll go out and wait."
As soon as County Magistrate Lin left the room, the door was closed by the thin nanny.
County Magistrate Lin casually pulled a servant over and said, "Go tell the old lady that we will be there in a while, so don't let her wait anxiously. Run over and don't delay on the way."
When the servant received the order, he did not dare to delay and ran away immediately.
Xiaodie supported her aunt and stood aside waiting. When she saw the closed door and the servant's running back, her aunt suddenly felt a sense of crisis she had never felt before.
She and Xiaodie exchanged a glance and coughed lightly. Xiaodie immediately understood what she meant and hurriedly supported her aunt and asked worriedly, "Auntie, are you okay?!"
County Magistrate Lin glanced at the two of them and said, "Qian'er, what's wrong?"
Xiaodie: "Master, the eldest aunt knows that she has offended the Madam, so she came to apologize to the Madam despite being ill. She tossed and turned last night and cried several times in her dreams. In addition, she got up so early in the morning and had not eaten breakfast yet, so she is very weak."
"Master," Xiaodie suddenly knelt down, "please don't dislike the aunt because of this. It's all my fault. I didn't like Madam, so I provoked her. The aunt didn't know anything. It's all my fault. Please don't wrongly accuse the aunt because you and she have been together for so many years."
County Magistrate Lin glanced at the aunt. The aunt's eyes were filled with tears and she was biting her lips with her teeth. She looked so pitiful.
Then he looked down at Xiaodie again. Xiaodie was pretty and charming. When she spoke, the butterfly hairpin on her head jumped up and down as if it were alive.
His heart was floating, and he casually swung his sleeves, "Alright, alright, I know you guys didn't figure it out for a while, I don't blame you. Xiaodie, help your aunt sit down on the corridor and let her rest for a while."
Xiaodie then stood up and helped the weak aunt to sit down.
The people inside were still changing clothes, and there was no sign of opening the door. County Magistrate Lin lowered his voice and looked at Xiaodie: "Xiaodie, Qian'er, I said those words last night out of helplessness. You also know that Madam has a backer. The elders of Qingcheng Sect asked to see her and said that they had a fate with her. If the elders of Qingcheng Sect knew that I treated her badly, the elders of Qingcheng Sect would definitely not let our family go."
He paused, holding the aunt's hand, "Qian'er, don't you know who I am? I haven't even touched a hair of your wife until now, and you are all in my heart."
The eldest aunt's expression eased a little, "Master, I am also wrong. It was me who embarrassed you in public."
"It's not that difficult," County Magistrate Lin glanced at Xiaodie who was beside the aunt, "Xiaodie, they didn't really beat you yesterday, did they? I was just saying that."
Xiaodie waved her hands quickly, "Master, don't worry, the guard was just showing his respect, I didn't even feel any pain, it's over, Xiaodie is fine."
After saying that, she shook the eldest aunt's shoulder and said, "Miss, even when the master was the most angry, he still considered the safety of both of us, which shows that the master has been thinking about you from beginning to end. Are you relieved now? The master's favorite will always be you."
The eldest aunt then burst into laughter. She looked up at County Magistrate Lin, and the two smiled at each other.
The thin nanny huddled at the door and secretly looked outside, shaking with anger.
She turned to look at Baili Xin and found that Baili Xin had already changed his clothes.
Today is the second day of her marriage. She wore a light pink dress. Although it was a light color, the color was very bright and one could tell at a glance that it was bright red, not the peach pink color that concubines wore.
After changing her clothes, the thin nanny's eyes lit up. Even though she was in a bad mood just now, it couldn't stop her from praising the fairy in front of her.
"Fairy, you are so beautiful. Even ordinary clothes look special on you." She glanced at the three thousand strands of black hair that were scattered behind her and said quickly, "Fairy, please sit down and I will comb your hair into a bun."
Baili Xin is really not very good at tying his hair. At most, he can tie it into a ponytail or a bun, but he is not very good at tying his hair into a proper style like that of ancient women.
So there was no reason to refuse, and he sat in front of the mirror calmly.
While combing Baili Xin's hair, the thin nanny said angrily, "These three people outside are really a pair of bastards. They make me so angry."
"Xiao Die treated you like that yesterday. If it was a young lady, she would not be pretending to be sick but really sick. However, that magistrate Lin who can't distinguish between good and evil just pretended to scold them and didn't deliver the promised twenty strokes of the cane. Isn't this partiality?!"
Baili Xin: "We have only been here for a few days, and they have been here for so many days. Don't worry, if we can't defeat them once, we will try twice. If two times don't work, we will try three times. They probably don't know who they are provoking."
The thin nanny sighed and said, "Only someone as calm and resolute as you can prevent them from getting into trouble. If they were girls from ordinary families..."
Before the thin nanny finished speaking, she shuddered silently and began to comb Baili Xin's hair seriously.
She was very skilled and in just a short while she had combed Baili Xin's hair into a beautiful comb.
Looking at the fairy in the mirror, the thin nanny couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's really beautiful, fairy, be careful!"
Baili Xin raised an eyebrow: "I should be careful myself?"
Thin Mammy suddenly had a bad premonition, and the next second Baili Xin continued, "Mammy, you have to go with me. If someone faints during my visit, I need someone to help me, right?"
Thin Madam: “…”
Fairy, what on earth do you want to do?!

When I watched the plot just now, I thought that although County Magistrate Lin was not a good person, he would at least indulge in beauty, immerse himself in the beauty of Xin Shen, and vent his anger for Xin Shen. But I didn't expect that he was just a master of balancing things, balancing this and that, and neither side was disliked, ugh!
What did he think he got? He got our God Xin. This idiot actually pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed? He even secretly spared Xiaodie? Hehe, God Xin, let them know what a real house fight is!
But I have to say, Xin Shen is so good-looking, I can't get enough of him. It would be even better if there was a master standing next to Xin Shen.
I am dying of laughter. Last night, Xin Shen threw himself into the arms of a monk, but he turned into a fox by the unromantic monk and flew several circles in the sky. Xin Shen wanted to have a good time, not to go to heaven.
Phew, my fellow Taoist who doesn't know what big brother and big sister are, could you please say something before you speed up? You almost threw me out.
I'm your sister, what are you afraid of? Just drive when you need to. After leaving the game hall, no one will remember me. As long as I lose my memory, the social dead I once was can't catch up with me, hahahaha.
Is this why you guys do extreme drift
________________________
A group of people were walking towards us from afar on the winding corridor.
Leading the group was a middle-aged man and a beautiful but pale-faced woman. The woman walked with an unsteady step and needed the support of a nanny beside her.
Behind the two men, there were two women.
A lady and a maid.
The pretty maid supported the lady and walked carefully.
Behind them were several servants, and nearly ten people soon arrived at a small courtyard. Baili Xin took a look into the courtyard. The courtyard was not small, and there were two ponds dug in the courtyard, which were full of lotus flowers.
Next to the pond, the ground is covered with a layer of green grass, and flowers are swaying among the green shades.
It was the time when lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the fragrance of lotus flowers floated lightly on the wind and landed on the noses of several people.
Lotus.
I remember County Magistrate Lin said that the old lady believed in Buddhism, and it seems to be true.
Baili Xin glanced at County Magistrate Lin, and saw that County Magistrate Lin shook his head at him and walked to the closed door.
He walked very carefully, afraid of stepping on the flowers and grass beside the cobblestone path.
It seems that he is quite afraid of this old woman.
County Magistrate Lin tiptoed to the door and was about to knock when a stern voice came from inside: "How old are you? Why are you still so sneaky? What are you doing outside? Come in!"
She is truly a heroine.
County Magistrate Lin was probably really afraid of his mother. He immediately shook his shoulders when he heard the voice. After shaking, he turned around and waved to Baili Xin and his aunt.
While waving, County Magistrate Lin carefully opened the door and said respectfully, "Mother, your son is here to pay his respects to you."
As he spoke, he tiptoed in and motioned for Baili Xin to follow.
Baili Xin went in first, followed by the eldest aunt. After they all went in, another voice came from the inner room: "Close the door."
Xiaodie immediately turned around and closed the door, and she seemed to be quite afraid of the old lady.
County Magistrate Lin led Baili Xin into the inner room, and Baili Xin finally saw the true face of the old lady.
This is an old woman with gray hair and a slightly round face. She is not thin, but she is plump and looks blessed.
She looked to be around sixty or seventy years old, with wrinkles on her cheeks, but her complexion was very rosy, and she deserves the description of having white hair and a youthful face.
The old lady sat cross-legged on the couch, wearing a plain light blue dress, holding a small Buddhist bead in one hand and muttering something silently.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the Buddha's name.
The old lady pursed her lips slightly, looking dignified without even being angry.
Magistrate Lin, who was domineering outside, wilted instantly when he arrived in front of the old lady, just like Monkey King seeing Buddha.
He stood in front of the old lady respectfully and said, "Mother, I have brought your daughter-in-law to see you."
As he said that, he waved towards Baili Xin.
Baili Xin bowed and said, "Meetings, mother. May you be blessed with good health."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of clothes rustling.
Then, his hands were tightly grasped. He raised his head in confusion and saw that the old lady had walked down from the couch at some point and was looking at him with burning eyes.
Baili Xin glanced at County Magistrate Lin in confusion and found that he was equally surprised.
surprise
So the old lady rarely does this, right
"What's your name, kid?"
The old lady changed her previous majesty and asked Baili Xin kindly.
Baili Xin blinked blankly.
Oh no, he has been pretending to be Miss Song for so long, but he never seemed to ask Miss Song what her name is.
After a brief thought, Baili Xin said, "Madam, my name is Song Xin'er."
"Xin'er," the old lady held Baili Xin's hand, "this name is good. I see that there is a faint Buddha's light around you. Child, you must have a deep affinity with Buddhism. A good seedling like you should become a monk and practice Buddhism. One day you will surely become a living Buddha who benefits the people."
Baili Xin: “.”
Buddha's light
That should not be his, but what Fanjia left on him.
It seems that this old lady has some spiritual attainments, as she can even see the Buddha's light that Fanjia left on her body.
He didn't react, but County Magistrate Lin beside him suddenly became anxious, "Mom, what are you doing? She is your daughter-in-law. How can a mother encourage her daughter-in-law to become a nun? Don't you want to hold your grandson?"
The old lady gave Magistrate Lin a sidelong look. "What do you mean by eldest grandson or youngest grandson? If you could hold the child, you would have had it long ago. Why wait until now? This child is such a good seedling, it's wasted with you. There are so many beauties in your backyard, you can have children with them. Haven't you heard of the saying? Talents emerge every hundred years, saints emerge every thousand years, and living Buddhas emerge every ten thousand years. Do you know how difficult it is to find someone with a predestined relationship with Buddha?"
County Magistrate Lin stamped his feet in anger.
Baili Xin's heart was almost numb from laughing, and he tried hard to keep a straight face so as not to laugh out loud.
______________________
Studio.
Ancient Good Mother-in-law
I am dying of laughter. Child, come on, don’t marry my son, this scumbag, follow me and learn Buddhism.
This old lady has something.
_____________________
Later, it was only after County Magistrate Lin’s persuasion, and also because Baili Xin looked really weak, that the old lady regretfully gave up the idea of keeping the person by her side.
Although she couldn't keep the person, the old lady still gave Baili Xin enough face.
County Magistrate Lin and the eldest aunt were still standing, so the old lady patted the soft couch beside her and asked Baili Xin to sit on it.
"Xin'er, I heard that you fainted yesterday. You should take good care of yourself since you are so weak. You insisted on coming to see an old lady like me. You are such a good child. Come and sit next to me. Don't tire yourself out."
The equally weak aunt: "..."
Are you blind, old woman? Am I not weak? You are too partial!
Why is it that this woman has an intention when she comes to see you, but I have an "ulterior motive" when I come to see you
You are such a double standard!
"Son," the old lady grabbed Baili Xin's hand and said earnestly, "Listen to me. If you want to worship me in the future, you should worship Xin'er as well. Do you understand?"
County Magistrate Lin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, mother."
After hearing the answer from County Magistrate Lin, the old lady nodded with satisfaction. The following time was a greeting between the old lady and Baili Xin. County Magistrate Lin and the eldest aunt stood there as bamboo poles the whole time. It was not until it was late that the old lady reluctantly let Baili Xin leave.
When leaving, the old lady still refused to let go of Baili Xin's hand, "Good Xin'er, you should take good care of yourself during this period. When you are well, come to my place often and listen to me tell you stories from Buddhist scriptures."
The eldest aunt looked at Baili Xin, then at the old lady, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
She glanced at Xiaodie beside her, and Xiaodie spoke again, "Madam, the eldest aunt also fainted. She caught a cold these days and has been very weak."
As Xiaodie was speaking, the aunt took something out of her sleeve and handed it to Xiaodie.
Xiaodie took the item, walked forward in small steps, and presented it with both hands, "Madam, this is the sachet that my aunt made for you. It is embroidered with double lotus flowers, which means the best of both worlds."
Aunt: "Madam, the last time I came, I saw that the sachet you were wearing around your waist was a little damaged, so I made one overnight. I know you like simplicity, so I used light indigo as the base and put some Chinese medicinal herbs such as cassia seeds in it, which can make you look bright and refreshed. I hope you will accept it."
Baili Xin glanced at the purse on the old lady's waist and saw that it was indeed a little damaged. He said casually, "The lady still wears it even though it is so worn out. I guess she likes it very much."
The old lady was originally holding the purse and looking at it. When she heard Baili Xin's casual words, she actually laughed heartily. "Xin'er is really very perceptive. To be honest, this sachet has been with me for more than ten years. I prayed for it in a temple. The master told me that I would encounter a bloody disaster, but this sachet can help me turn danger into safety, so he told me to wear it close to my body."
"It just so happened that I had bad luck during those days and encountered many accidents. So I put on the sachet with some doubts, but I didn't expect that all the bad luck disappeared afterwards. The illness that had plagued me for a long time also disappeared. I felt like I was reborn. Since then, I began to believe in Buddhism, and the sachet has never left my side."
Baili Xin suddenly realized: "It turns out that this sachet is actually a talisman. I must wear it close to my body."
"Well, you are right." The old lady smiled and turned to look at the eldest aunt. "Qian'er, I appreciate your kindness. I will keep this sachet. I know your intentions. You are also a good child. Go back and have a rest. Since you are also sick, you don't have to come to visit me every day these days. I am in good health, healthier than you young people."
She waved her hand: "Okay, you all go back."
The aunt glanced at the sachet with a twinkle in her eyes, bowed and left.
By the time they left the old lady's room, it was almost noon, and County Magistrate Lin was called away by people from the yamen before he even reached the hall.
In the back garden, only Baili Xin and the aunt were left.
This was also the first time they met alone.
"Song Xin'er, huh?" As soon as County Magistrate Lin left, the aunt changed her previous weak attitude and looked at Baili Xin with arrogance, "I really underestimated you. Not only can you control the master, but you can also subdue the old lady. Little devil, you are quite capable."
"Haha," Baili Xin smiled softly, "Sister, I don't understand what you are saying?"
"Stop pretending. It was you who eavesdropped on my conversation in the room yesterday?" The eldest aunt pushed Xiaodie away. She didn't look weak at all. She walked around Baili Xin and squinted her eyes to look at him. "Song Xin'er? When did the Song family have a Song Xin'er? How come I heard that Miss Song committed suicide with her lover that day? Miss Song is gone, and where did you come from, this vixen?"
The thin nanny's face suddenly changed.
"Sister, is it a private matter in our family if someone has committed suicide for love?"
"Besides, the man and the woman are unmarried, and they have their own ideas. They haven't violated any laws, right? But you, a well-educated and sensible woman, are gossiping. Aren't you a little too nosy? Be careful of retribution."
"As for who I am, you can call the matchmaker to ask if they personally picked me up from the Song family in a big red sedan chair and then personally sent me to the Lin family. If I were a vixen, would I be able to ride in a sedan chair and come in through the main gate openly?"
"You still don't understand this?"
"Oh, look at my memory," Baili Xin tapped his head, "Sister is a concubine. She didn't ride in a big red sedan chair, nor did she have a long wedding dress, and she didn't go through the front door. If I'm not mistaken, you should have been carried in from the back door in a sedan chair, right? That's it. If that's the case, you naturally don't understand how solemn it is to go out and in from the front door."
"The Song family is a rich and powerful family. Is it possible that they only have one child? My sister is a very good girl. She died for love and you can't bully her here. You should take care of yourself first."
"On the contrary, what is the origin of you, sister, and this little maid beside you?"
"Can an ordinary maid use such a vicious trick? I think you two are the demons, right?"
The eldest aunt's face suddenly turned red. "What nonsense are you talking about? We are disciples of Lady Baiyun and are serious practitioners. How could we be demons?!"
Baili Xin's eyes turned arrogant. "Are you a serious practitioner? If you are a practitioner, why would you go to a place like a brothel? Could it be that you practice some kind of Hehuan sect law that others are too embarrassed to talk about?"
The eldest aunt stamped her feet angrily, her eyes were filled with rage, she pinched her fingers and chanted a difficult spell, and a ball of fire immediately appeared in front of her.
"I think you don't want to live anymore! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know who has the final say in this family!"
The thin nanny was horrified, but still used her frail body to block Baili Xin, "Miss, be careful!"
The eldest aunt sneered, and Xiaodie also made a gesture beside her.
As she sneered, two balls of fire instantly pounced towards Baili Xin.
When Thin Madam screamed with her eyes closed, she heard the sound of wind blowing beside her ears.
She did not feel the burning pain she had expected.
She opened her eyes carefully and saw that the fairy lady, who was supposed to be protected behind her, had appeared in front of her at some point.
I saw the fairy holding a dagger in her hand, in the posture of cutting something.
Below the dagger, two balls of flame fell to the ground. The originally blazing flames now died down and were about to go out.
Baili Xin held the dagger and performed a beautiful slash in mid-air. She was quite tall, and she looked down at the master and servant opposite her with contempt, "Is this all you can do?"
The master and the servant saw their magic being smashed to the ground, their faces changed, and the eldest aunt asked sharply: "Who are you?"
"You are allowed to become my disciples, but I am not allowed to be a cultivator as well? I see that you two are quite skilled at bullying people. When those ladies came in before, you also bullied them a lot, right? Could it be that the deaths of those ladies are related to you two?"
Baili Xin's voice suddenly turned cold, "Tell me, did you kill those ladies?"
The eldest aunt's face suddenly changed, "Don't talk nonsense, the two of us have never killed anyone! Xiaodie, let's go!"
After that, she said nothing more and turned away with Xiaodie.
Baili Xin watched his aunt's back as she hurriedly left, and silently put away the dagger.
He looked around. Even though he and his aunt had made such a big noise here just now, no one came here.
Isn’t it a bit strange
He had just deliberately angered the two of them in order to force them to take action and then ask the same questions as before to the ladies.
But as soon as the question was asked, the topic seemed like a taboo, and the two of them immediately ran away with their tails between their legs.
This is also a bit strange.
The thin nanny patted her chest and walked up to Baili Xin: "Fairy, you scared me to death just now. So you are really a fairy. You are not afraid of them."
Baili Xin looked around and said calmly, "Let's go. We'll talk about it when we get back."
The thin nanny covered her mouth instantly and quickly followed Baili Xin away.
When Baili Xin returned to the room, the thin nanny closed the door and then lowered her voice and spoke mysteriously, "The two women just now said that they were not the ones who killed the previous wives. Fairy, are you trying to investigate the strange death of the wife in this family?"
After saying the last sentence, the thin nanny's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she felt that she had discovered some incredible secret.
Baili Xin: "Since I'm here, I might as well check it out."
It's indeed a side check.
He is now marrying into the Lin family under the identity of Miss Song. At least he has Magistrate Lin to cover him, so his actions will not arouse too much suspicion.
If he didn't have this identity, he would most likely be discovered under the nose of Qingcheng Town if he fought alone outside.
Since he had come to this house anyway, and there happened to be several treasures at home, he decided to find out how those ladies died.
After having lunch in the room, Baili Xin took the thin nanny for a stroll in the yard.
Strolling was not the main purpose, but he wanted to quickly get to know the environment of this home.
As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw from a distance a servant hurriedly entering the study of County Magistrate Lin, taking something from the study and then leaving in a hurry.
"Wait a moment." Seeing that the servant was about to leave, he quickly stopped him and said, "Who are you and what are you doing in the master's study?"
Of course, he was not there to guard the door for County Magistrate Lin. His purpose was to find out what County Magistrate Lin was doing in the yamen.
There are mysterious deaths and all kinds of weird things happening in the town, so where can I get the most accurate information
Of course it’s the government office.
Brothels are certainly a gathering place for gossip, but the real clues still have to be obtained from the government.
He had an impression of this servant, a servant who had always followed County Magistrate Lin. It seemed that he was a close confidant of County Magistrate Lin.
He should have gone to the government office with County Magistrate Lin in the morning. Now he hurried back to get something. It must be County Magistrate Lin who asked him to come back to get it.
Sure enough, the servant bowed to him respectfully and said, "Greetings, Madam."
"Ma'am, I came back to get the documents related to the case on the orders of the master."
Baili Xin: "Case? What case?"
Servant: "This morning, fishermen were preparing to go fishing in the river. As soon as they reached the shore, they found a body with a strange death. The body was very similar to the strange bodies found several times before, and the documents of the previous bodies were placed in the study, so I came to get it."
Baili Xin immediately showed a frightened expression, and he covered his mouth with a handkerchief. "It's terrible. Will it be dangerous for the master to handle these cases? Will the master be afraid?"
The servant was stunned for a moment, then laughed twice, "Don't worry, Madam, the master is already used to handling cases."
Baili Xin: "When the master went there, it was almost time for dinner. Can he eat?"
The servant was stunned again, "No, the government office is in chaos right now, and the master has no mood to eat, but don't worry, Madam, when the master is done with his work, he will definitely go to eat."
"How could it be such a mess?" Baili Xin grasped the doubts. "Didn't you just say that the master was used to handling cases? If he was used to it, how could it be such a mess?"
The servant sighed, "Ah, Madam, the master is in a difficult situation. The one who died this time was not someone else, but the legal advisor in the government office. Before, the legal advisor always sat by and recorded the cases. Now that the legal advisor is gone, there is no one else to take over, so everything is in a mess."
"No more talk, ma'am," the servant bowed, "the master is still waiting for me to deliver the book, I'm leaving now."
Baili Xin nodded with a twinkle in his eyes, "Okay, be careful on the road."
After he left, Prisin went straight to the kitchen.
The thin nanny was a little confused: "Auntie, are you hungry? Didn't you just have a meal?"
Yesterday she said that she was a fairy who grew up drinking dew. It is hard to tell which of her words are true and which are false.
Baili Xin: "It's not me who wants to eat it."
As they talked, they came to the kitchen.
The cook in the kitchen was about to take a break, but she stood up immediately after seeing Baili Xin.
After the commotion in the back garden yesterday, this lady’s reputation has spread throughout the Lin Mansion, and now no one dares to neglect this mistress.
Cook: "Madam, what can I do for you?"
Baili Xin: "Prepare some food for me. The master has been busy at the government office and hasn't eaten yet. I'll go and deliver it to him."
When the cook heard that it was for the master, she did not dare to neglect it. She was about to start cooking when she heard Baili Xin continue, "Don't make it too complicated. Just prepare two hot dishes and two refreshing side dishes, and a few steamed buns. Be quick."
If you don’t hurry, you’ll miss the case at the government office.
The cook thought that the mistress was afraid that the master was very hungry, so she didn't dare to be negligent. In just a short while, she cooked two hot dishes.
Under the somewhat confused gaze of Thin Nanny, Baili Xin carried the vegetable basket in one hand, pulled Thin Nanny with the other, and walked straight out of the door, moving towards the government office.
Look for clues~
The thin nanny took two steps before she reacted. She snatched the basket and put it on her arm, "Fairy, you are not really in love with this County Magistrate Lin, are you?"
Baili Xin stumbled and pointed at his eyes. "Look at my eyes. Are they beautiful?"
The thin nanny stared at the pair of star-lit eyes for a while, then nodded absentmindedly: "Good, it looks good."
Baili Xin: "It's not blind, is it?"
The thin nanny was slightly stunned, and it took her two seconds to realize what Baili Xin meant.
Only a blind person would fall for County Magistrate Lin!
What I mean is, doesn’t the fairy lady ever utter a single dirty word when she scolds people
