Chapter 427: Chapter 430: You’re Not Angry?_1
Chen Yiling gritted her teeth and said, "But don’t forget, as long as my husband is around, the Master will always be the Master!"
"Madam, please forgive me, I was just speaking out of turn, don’t take it to heart." 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
The Government Official hastily apologized, Lord Qin’s official position was there for all to see, and even the Master wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in public, and yet he had had the misfortune to offend Lady Qin.
Wasn’t this plainly seeking death?
"You receive the Imperial salary, you should know clearly who you ought to serve."
Chen Yiling sternly lectured this ignorant Government Official.
Her demeanor faintly bore a few traces of Lord Qin’s grace, this must be the influence of one’s close associations.
The Government Official was choked up and rendered speechless, while Qiao Duo’er quietly gave a thumbs-up.
This Ling’er looked so cool, so satisfying!
But it was impossible to get Yin Zheng to handle the procedures today, so Qiao Duo’er and the others could only first return to the back courtyard.
Upon reaching the back courtyard, Chen Yiling was still seething with anger.
"Damned Yin Zheng, he infuriates me, one day I will make sure he pays with his life!"
Qiao Duo’er asked curiously, "What’s the story with that Master? How dare he be so arrogant?"
This time Qiao Duo’er had asked the right person, as Chen Yiling had been keeping a close watch on him, so she knew everything there was to know about Yin Zheng like the back of her hand.
Speaking of Yin Zheng, that goes back to over twenty years ago.
Back then, Yin Zheng’s uncle was serving as the County Magistrate in White Stone Town, and after several failed attempts to pass the Scholar examination, Yin Zheng began working as a Master there.
Latter, when Yin Zheng’s uncle was promoted, Yin Zheng chose to stay behind. He gathered wealth in White Stone Town to manage connections for his uncle, and it could be said that his uncle’s ascent to Magistrate of Ning Tian Mansion was greatly due to Yin Zheng’s contributions.
Two years ago, Qin Longyun took up his post.
On the day before he arrived at his new post, the Government Office caught fire, and years of records and account books perished in the blaze, allowing Yin Zheng to evade justice from then on.
In the past two years under Qin Longyun’s watchful eye, Yin Zheng played it safe, or one could say there was no need for him to take any more risks.
Nearly half the shops in the town were under Yin Zheng’s control, with numerous private assets, so he had no need to dip into public funds.
Finally, Chen Yiling sighed and said, "Yin Zheng has been operating in White Stone Town for so many years, his foundations are deep, even my husband wouldn’t dare to touch him lightly."
"Evildoers will eventually destroy themselves, let’s not stoop to his level for now," Qiao Duo’er comforted Ling’er.
Now that she knew Yin Zheng’s true nature, she had no psychological burden at all.
If she got mad, she could just dispatch him with a knife by night.
She didn’t believe a dead man could continue to harm the living, assassination was, after all, her old trade.
As for today, she needed to order some counters and tables and chairs.
She was going to open a braised meat shop, and no matter if it was Yin Zheng or Liu Zheng, no one would be able to stop her!
Passing by Deji Hall, Qiao Duo’er glanced inside several times.
Qin Longyun said that Bai Yifan had already returned from Medicine King Valley, and to avoid worrying Old Lady Bai, he had been recuperating in Deji Hall.
Since the last incident, she hadn’t seen Bai Yifan again, afraid of embarrassment.
But Bai Yifan had helped her, and he was also her acknowledged Brother Bai San, so if she didn’t visit, she felt uneasy.
Tan Zhenghong said understandingly, "Let’s go in and have a look."
"You... you won’t get angry?" Qiao Duo’er looked at Tan Zhenghong with some surprise, she couldn’t believe he was so magnanimous.
"Don’t mention one Bai Yifan, even if there were ten, no one would think of snatching you away from me."
Tan Zhenghong reached out and playfully tickled Qiao Duo’er’s nose.
"So confident? Bai Yifan is exceptionally skilled in medicine, elegant, and from a wealthy family, he’s the dream lover of many young girls," Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but argue.
