I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

"Keeping people here and selling them off, our Han family cannot afford to support someone so ambitious and ungrateful."

Seeing this, the guard immediately dragged the boy out of the door.

The boy's face was full of panic, but he couldn't get away even if he tried to struggle. He couldn't say anything if he wanted to.

Wen Wan met the panicked eyes of the boy, and her expression quickly returned to calm, as if what happened before had nothing to do with her.

The servant was dragged out, and Wen Wan naturally did not dare to stay in the courtyard any longer.

She glanced at County Magistrate Han and saw that Magistrate Han did not focus on her, and said quickly: "Cousin, I...I suddenly feel a little unwell. I'll take my leave now."

Wen Wan was also in a panic about this. She never imagined that there would be so many mistakes in her plan this time.

Not only was Zhu Qiuqi not as cowardly and cowardly as she imagined, but she did not leave timidly because of her threats.

Instead, she stayed by Mrs. Han's side with a determined look on her face, which Wen Wan did not expect.

Wen Wan was even more caught off guard by the sudden appearance of County Magistrate Han. She never expected that Magistrate Han would come back so early today.

Seeing Magistrate Han's expression at this time, Wen Wan did not dare to stay in the main courtyard any longer.

Now that Mrs. Han is ill, no one can intercede for her.

If Magistrate Han wanted to deal with her now, it would only be a matter of one sentence.

After all, the boy just now was once someone whom County Magistrate Han trusted very much.

Now that this person was sold again because of Magistrate Han's words, how could Wen Wan not panic?

Her purpose of coming here today was not pure. If Magistrate Han discovered what she had done, Wen Wan could not guarantee what would happen to her.

Wen Wan hurried out of the courtyard without waiting for Magistrate Han to nod.

After watching Wen Wan leave, Magistrate Han apologized to Zhu Qiuqi with a guilty look on his face.

"Mrs. Zhu, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the house."

Zhu Qiuqi didn't care about it at the time and just looked at the sky outside. Now was not the time for County Magistrate Han to reply.

"It doesn't matter. What happened today can actually help you clean up a group of people in the mansion, which is a good thing."

"It's still early, why did the magistrate come back so early today?"

County Magistrate Han couldn't help but groaned when he heard Zhu Qiuqi's inquiry.

"His Royal Highness's secret guard saw Wen Wan coming to the main courtyard, and seemed to have colluded with the boy, so he went to the front hall to find me."

"It happened that the county magistrate didn't have much to do today, and Master Xu was staying somewhere, so I handed over the matter to Master Xu and rushed back."

Thinking that he had just come back and heard Wen Wan's threat to Zhu Qiuqi, County Magistrate Han couldn't help but sigh.

"Wish you, madam, what happened today..."

Zhu Qiuqi knew that Magistrate Han felt guilty because of this incident.

"Master Han, I know that the gentle purpose is Madam. Her purpose of doing that is just to anger me. If I really leave, something will happen."

When County Magistrate Han heard this, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

But thinking that what Zhu Qiuqi said was reasonable, she just nodded in the end.

Just when Zhu Qiuqi was about to stand up and say goodbye, Magistrate Han suddenly ordered the guards outside the door: "Bring the people in."

Zhu Qiuqi was stunned and looked at Magistrate Han's expression that suddenly turned cold, but she didn't say anything again.

What Zhu Qiuqi didn't expect was that the person Magistrate Han asked the guards to bring in was the young boy who Magistrate Han had taken or wanted to sell.

The boy came to his senses when the two guards were still on the ground.

Looking at the magistrate sitting in front of him, the servant quickly knelt at Magistrate Han's feet.

"Sir, the villain has been wronged. Please make the decision for the villain."

Magistrate Han looked at the person kneeling at his feet and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

"Tell me how you were wronged."

The young man originally thought that Magistrate Han would make the decision for him unconditionally no matter what. After all, he was from the Han Mansion.

But he never expected that Magistrate Han would ask him like this.

The boy raised his head slightly, and when he met the county magistrate's cold gaze, his heart trembled.

It seemed that he remembered that Magistrate Han was not a wealthy squire in the county. He was a magistrate and an official of the imperial court.

Thinking of this, the boy's body trembled slightly.

"Sir, little one...little one..."

The boy couldn't help but look at Zhu Qiuqi, which made Magistrate Han's bad expression darken again.

"I know whether this matter is related to Madam Zhu. If you don't tell the truth again and dare to slander Madam Zhu, don't blame me for being rude!"

When the boy heard the magistrate's scolding, his body couldn't help but tremble.

Realizing what Magistrate Han meant, the boy felt panicked.

"Sir, I also listened to Miss Wen and did something wrong. Please forgive me and give me a chance."

The boy seemed to realize that he could no longer lie and could only tell the truth.

The boy knocked his head to the ground, as if he wanted to ask for forgiveness from Magistrate Han.

Magistrate Han looked much better when he saw the young man like this.

"Tell me, what benefits did she give you to make you betray our Han family?"

The young man was at a loss for words for a moment, but he knew in his heart that if he didn't explain the matter clearly today, he might not be able to save his life.

After all, County Magistrate Han is the magistrate of Qingshui County. If the truth comes against him, he will probably stay in prison for the rest of his life.

It was also at this moment that the boy felt real fear in his heart.

"Miss Wen gave the younger one fifty taels of silver, and said... she also said that when she becomes the real head of the Han family in the future, she will also promote the younger one."

As the boy finished speaking, the whole room fell into an eerie silence.

No one expected Wen Wan to say such words.

Really in charge? Where does this leave Mrs. Han?

Or does she think Mrs. Han will never wake up from her serious illness this time? There is no real mistress in the county magistrate's house, so she can take the opportunity to rise to power?

Zhu Qiuqi moved her fingers slightly, but she didn't expect that Wen Wan's ambition was so big.

However, when Magistrate Han heard Xiao Xiao's words, his expression turned extremely ugly.

"You are so bold! It is her turn to have an outsider take charge of everything in the county magistrate's office!"

Suddenly there was a shouting sound outside the door. Although the voice was childish, it was filled with unusual anger.

When Zhu Qiuqi heard this voice, she knew that Han Qingling was back.

Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help but sigh when she thought that Han Qingling had encountered this incident.

But seeing Magistrate Han shaking his head at her, Zhu Qiuqi had no intention of mentioning this matter to Han Qingling.
