Chapter 469: Old Madam Wang’s Identity
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“All of you can leave.” The surname of the Wangbei Magistrate was Wei. He was only in his forties and looked very righteous.
After sending the maidservant away, Magistrate Wei first bowed to Old Madam Wang before saying to Wang Chuanfu and the others, “Brothers, don’t be anxious. Sister-in-law has already settled down. My wife is accompanying them in the inner hall. I definitely won’t neglect them.”
These words were especially kind, but it made Wang Chuanfu and the others feel even more uncomfortable.
What right did they have to make the prefectural magistrate call them brothers!
A county magistrate was already an official rank that they did not dare to dream of, let alone a prefectural magistrate. How high of an official was that?
They did not even dare to imagine it!
They had set off at the beginning of winter. It was already the 20th of December, but they had yet to go home. Seeing that they were not going to be able to celebrate the new year, Wang Chuanfu was even more anxious.
…..
Before coming, they had thought about all kinds of situations. In the end, the old lady guessed correctly. Wang Chuangui had fallen into a fraud dispute.
The fraud was neither big nor small. It was only a comprehensive examination organized by the prefecture capital. It did not count the score of the Imperial Examination and would not be considered. However, the Governor of Wangbei County wanted to know the standards of the students from the various academies in the prefecture capital, so he set the questions for the test.
Wang Chuangui also participated in the test. His improvised article received extremely high praise. Even the Top Scholar also praised him repeatedly, saying that he had an honest and upright style.
This was an extremely high evaluation. If nothing happened, he would surely make a name for himself in the imperial provincial examination.
Unexpectedly, not long after, it was rumored that he had close contact with an official of the Ministry of Rites, and especially his wife, Madam Ma. He’d even given an expensive set of clothes to her.
Someone had caught him red-handed and said that he had cheated.
This time, not only was Wang Chuangui imprisoned, but the official from the Ministry of Rites was also removed from his official position and was waiting to be dealt with.
Originally, this was under the jurisdiction of the professor and the Top Scholar, and Magistrate Wei usually would not ask about it. But he did not expect that when Magistrate Wei brought his family out, his wife happened to fall into the water.
The maidservants did not even know how to swim, and the men did not dare to go down to save her. Magistrate Wei was so anxious that he paced around.
At this moment, an old lady jumped down from a passing carriage.
The old lady casually pulled her outer shirt aside and plunged into the water.
With a plop, huge waves splashed.
She swam extremely quickly and quickly arrived beside the magistrate’s wife.
However, she was already in a panic and was flailing around.
When Old Madam Wang grabbed her, she choked on a mouthful of water.
Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman, who had followed anxiously, shouted, “Mother!”
With that, the two of them were about to jump into the water to save Old Madam Wang.
Magistrate Wei got someone to stop them.
With his wife in the water, other men could not go in. Otherwise, his wife’s reputation would be ruined!
His wife valued these things the most. If she found out later, she would definitely not be willing to continue living with the humiliation.
For this reason, Magistrate Wei did not dare to take the risk.
After Old Madam Wang choked on a mouthful of water, her eyes became murky. Without a word, she used her palm as a knife and chopped at the back of the magistrate’s wife’s neck.
The magistrate’s wife fainted on the spot.
Only then did Old Madam Wang drag her ashore and slap her a few more times before she woke up.
This operation stunned the people beside him.
Especially Magistrate Wei. When he saw that his beloved Madam’s face was swollen, he was about to flare up.
“Someone, arrest this old woman—” Magistrate Wei was furious and directly ordered to capture this vulgar old woman.
Old Madam Wang was taking the outer robe from Wang Chuanfu. When she heard this, she turned around and glanced coldly at Magistrate Wei.
When Magistrate Wei saw Old Madam Wang’s gaze, he was immediately stunned.
Thinking about it carefully, his legs almost went weak.
Why did this old lady look so much like someone?
Someone who had once made countless people go crazy for her and could not forget her even now.
“You… you, you… you are?” Magistrate Wei was not too sure.
Old Madam Wang smiled and sneezed.
Magistrate Wei’s expression changed drastically. He couldn’t care less and hurriedly shouted, “Someone, quickly invite the Old Madam to my residence. No, go to Qujiang Villa!”
Qujiang Villa was Magistrate Wei’s private residence. No one who was not his trusted aide was allowed to enter.
Not only were the servants surprised, but even Wang Chuanfu and Wang Chuanman were at a loss..
