The more you don't want to see someone, the faster they will come.

That day, Shi Anan wanted to take a break from her busy schedule, but Yan Fei came to her in a hurry and said, "Miss Shi, your father is here again!"

When Shi Anan heard this, her brows furrowed immediately: "Just chase him away when he comes. You didn't let him in, did you?"

Yan Fei quickly shook his head: "No, no, without your order, how dare we let him in directly? It's just that he is making trouble at the door now, and we can't drive him away. Now there are many people watching. If we let him continue to make trouble, your reputation will be tarnished by him."

It was also the first time that Yan Fei had seen a father like this, who actually scolded his daughter for being unfilial in front of so many outsiders. This was because in Guangming County, most people believed that Miss Shi was definitely not that kind of person, but there were always some people who had just joined Guangming County and had never seen Miss Shi, nor did they know what kind of person she was. If her reputation was ruined by this unscrupulous person, it would be bad for Miss Shi.

"By the way, he didn't come alone. There was also a man who claimed to be the former magistrate of Qinghe County, who was also outside shouting that he wanted to take back his rights."

Originally, Shi Anan had no intention of going out in person. The more she responded to a person like Shi Zhengde, the more he would make trouble. She was too lazy to say anything more to him. It would be faster to let the security team use force to drive him away.

But when Shi Anan heard Yan Fei say that the former magistrate of Qinghe County was also here, she thought it was interesting and changed her mind instantly: "Let's go to the city gate. I'll see what tricks they are going to come up with."

Arriving at the city gate, it was indeed full of people watching the excitement. Shi Zhengde stood at the gate and said vividly: "My daughter, although she was born to a concubine, I never lacked food and drink since she was a child, and her treatment was almost the same as that of a legitimate daughter. As a father, I have never owed her anything. But she has become a nobleman now, and she doesn't even recognize me as her father. She even had someone drive me away before. Look, have you ever seen such an unfilial daughter..."

Some of the people watching nearby, who had known from the beginning that Shi Anan was a goddess, had strange looks on their faces, thinking in their hearts: Although they don't know why their father-daughter relationship is so bad, but if they can link her to a noble man, then isn't Miss Shi herself a noble man?

However, some uninformed people were thinking that this was indeed a bit too much. In this dynasty, filial piety is the most important thing. No matter what happened between the father and daughter, the daughter should not be like this.

Mu Shan was listening to this with an angry look on his face. He couldn't help but retort, "Don't talk nonsense here. Don't you know why the young lady didn't recognize you? The young lady was never valued at home before. After this disaster, you didn't even care about her life or death. What qualifications do you have to say this now!"

Shi Zhengde said confidently: "How could I not care about her life or death? She just didn't want to follow me. At first I was wondering why she was so stubborn, it turns out she found a backer."

"And you, you were just a groom in the mansion before, who gave you the courage to speak to me like that!"

"You!" Mu Shan's face turned red with anger, but he was not good at arguing with others because he was not good at speaking.

Shi Anan and Xiao Yi came over at this time. She asked Mu Shan to step back and went forward herself: "Shi Zhengde, stop whining here. You signed the document that severed the father-daughter relationship with your own hands. What can you do if I just don't recognize you as my father?"

At this time, a pair of hands with fair skin but still a little rough suddenly stretched out from a carriage parked at the city gate. The owner of the hands lifted the curtain and walked down. A pretentious voice suddenly sounded: "Sister, what you said is wrong. Dad only signed the document to sever the father-daughter relationship because you deliberately angered him. Even if you sign this, you can't deny your father."

When Shi Anan heard the voice, she looked carefully. Coincidentally, this was Bai Lianhua's elder sister, who was also here. However, looking at Wanqing's condition at this time, she seemed to be in a normal state.

Shi Wanqing now saw Shi Anan clearly, and a flash of jealousy flashed across her eyes.

Why does this little bitch seem to be not harmed at all? She even looks better than before because she has grown up.

On the other hand, because of all the running around and the stress of serving County Magistrate Wu, even if she took good care of her skin, her skin still became rough and a few fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.

Originally, when they were at home, Shi Anan's appearance was better than hers, but Shi Anan had not reached the age of marriage at that time, and acted low-key and timidly. Also, because of her particularity in dressing and the temperament of a legitimate daughter, she seemed to be equally beautiful.

But now even this advantage is gone, making her look like dust when standing in front of Shi Anan. How can she not be jealous?

Shi Wanqing's eyes turned again and fell on Xiao Yi, who was standing quietly beside Shi Anan. She widened her eyes in amazement, and couldn't help feeling jealous.

A man with such outstanding appearance and temperament must be no ordinary person. This man must be the real ruler of Guangming County. He also treats people with his looks. Why is the man that this cheap girl An An hooked up with so outstanding?

Thinking of this, Shi Wanqing said to Xiao Yi in a hoarse voice: "My lord, don't be fooled by this girl's appearance. How can such an unfilial and cruel woman be worthy of you!"

When Shi Anan heard her instigation, she looked at Xiao Yi's reaction with interest. Given this guy's level of social anxiety, he would probably pretend not to hear it again.

Sure enough, not only did Xiao Yi not respond, he even took a step back behind Shi Anan and didn't even look at Shi Wanqing.

Shi Wanqing's face turned red with anger because she was ignored. Just when she was about to lose her temper, she saw the cold look of County Magistrate Wu beside her. She was startled and realized that she had almost forgotten the important matter because her attention had just been attracted by Xiao Yi.

Shi Anan was too lazy to listen to what she said and said coldly, "Are you done? If you are, please leave."

"Humph, what an arrogant girl!" Magistrate Wu snorted coldly and walked out, saying, "Do you know who I am?"

Shi Anan rolled her eyes: "Who are you?"

"I am the magistrate of Qinghe County appointed by the imperial court. I give you three days to leave here immediately! Otherwise, you will be in trouble."

Shi Anan raised her eyebrows: "Qinghe County Magistrate, what does it have to do with Guangming County?"

County Magistrate Wu pointed at Shi An'an angrily and said, "Everyone knows that Guangming County is the original Qinghe County. Previously, you were allowed to stay here because I was not here. Now that I am back, the position of county magistrate must be taken away...ah!"

This time, before Magistrate Wu could finish his words, Xiao Yi flashed out from behind Shi Anan and grabbed Magistrate Wu's rude finger. There was a "click" sound, followed by his scream.

After doing all this, Xiao Yi put down his hand nonchalantly, as if he was not the one who broke the other person's fingers.

"Ah! Master, what happened to you!" Shi Wanqing screamed in fear and hurried over to check on County Magistrate Wu. After all, she and County Magistrate Wu were in the same boat. If anything happened to County Magistrate Wu, she would not be able to escape well either.

Magistrate Wu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He just gritted his teeth and kept repeating: "You, you——"

Shi Zhengde saw this and shouted, "How dare you to harm an official in public? Just wait, Lord Zhao of Cangwu City will not let you go!"

Shi Anan laughed out loud, feeling a little ridiculous: "Officials appointed by the imperial court? Now that there is no imperial court, what kind of officials are there?"

"In Guangming County, I have the final say. In the past, this Wu not only refused to provide food to the people, but also abandoned the people of the county when something happened in the county. Does such a person have the nerve to come back and be the parent official? Ask the people of the county, do they agree?"

Some of the people watching nearby who had experienced the changes in Qinghe County all shouted, "We don't need County Magistrate Wu, this dog official. Get out of here!"

"Get out! Get out!"

Shi Anan nodded in satisfaction when she heard the people's shouts, and continued, "Did you hear that? I'm not the only one who disagrees with you coming to Guangming County."

"Also, I heard that Lord Zhao from Cangwu City, whom you mentioned, is indeed a great figure. I wanted to visit him earlier but didn't have the chance. I'll take this opportunity to go to Cangwu City. I want to see how Lord Zhao will treat me."

Originally, Shi Anan planned to go to Cangwu City to meet Zhao Zhong after the New Year. After all, she had not yet used the city integration gift package given by the main task, and the key to using this gift package was to take over Cangwu City.

Now she has a feud with Shi Zhengde and Magistrate Wu, and she doesn't know what Zhao Zhong's final attitude will be. If it can be resolved peacefully, she naturally doesn't want to make a big fuss.

But if Zhao Zhong is the same as them, then don't blame her for being rude. With the current military strength of Guangming County, she is not afraid even if the King of the North attacks, let alone Cangwu City.
