Chapter 348: Chapter 348: My Xiaowu is Working with General Cen!

That was exactly the effect the Sun Family wanted to achieve.
Shock.
A shock that left everyone who heard the news speechless.
She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
From the day Sun Junyan had started to study, she had been looking forward to this moment. After waiting for so many years, this scenario which had appeared in her dreams countless times, had finally become a reality!
Previously, she was driven out of the village like a stray dog, but now, in less than two months, she was back, standing tall!
She raised her hand to smooth out the wrinkles on her new dress, then patted her waist bag which was packed with the twenty taels of silver that Sun Junyan had given her.
This hard bag of twenty taels of silver made her stand even straighter, lift her chin even higher, wishing she could look down her nose at these people who used to require her to serve them with humility.
In the scenario she had envisioned in her dreams, after revealing her status and stunning the crowd, she’d wait for people to come and curry favor with her.
With this in mind, she gave a smug smile and said, “Village Chief Tong, Xiaowu now serves under General Cen, and is highly regarded by him. You do know General Cen, right? He is the protector of our Changyi Prefecture and a second- rank official!”
“If you encounter any problems in the future, you can ask Xiaowu for help. He can solve them for you!”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd fell silent.
Tiehu Tong’s brow furrowed as he signaled for a villager standing behind the Sun Family to move forward.
With an emotionless face, Tong Sanlang continued his work, casually tossing two bags of wheat of over a hundred pounds each onto the horse cart.
The several bailiffs on site just resumed their duties as well.
In Bailu Town, no official could act recklessly to their own liking.
That included Cen Hong.
The last imperial decree was the best proof.
Since Tiehu Tong had the right side of the law on his side, they didn’t need to yield to an old country wife.
The Sun Family was stunned. Her smug smile froze and she slapped the table, “Village Chief Tong, are you hard of hearing? My Xiaowu is now a favored person by General Cen!”
“Come here.” Village Chief Tong’s face darkened and he pointed at a few people in the line, “Take Sun Family away. She’s disrupting the collection of taxes, the prefect will blame us.”
It was the same familiar tone.
And the same familiar dominance.
The Sun Family was taken aback.
Her Xiaowu was even now a favorite of General Cen, why was Village Chief Tong, a small village official, still treating her like this?
She’s not the submissive old country wife of the past anymore!
” Who dares to touch me!” She roared and glared at the villagers walking towards her, yelling menacingly, “My Xiaowu is favoured by General Cen, are you not afraid that General Cen will punish you if you dare to touch me!”
This remark made those villagers pause their steps.
General Cen, the same general who previously forced Qiao Xiaomai to cut himself, even though the Emperor later sided with Qiao Xiaomai.
But they were not Qiao Xiaomai, they had no connection to the Emperor.
God forbid if that General Cen really decided to punish them, they wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Noticing the hesitation of those villagers, the Sun Family let out a scoff. Hands on hips, she held her head high, face full of smugness.
Good, although there was no scene of everyone trying to curry favor with her as in her dreams, this was enough to make her feel elated.
In the past, she had always been restrained with no power to resist whenever Village Chief Tong gave an order.
Now, these lowly villagers finally didn’t dare to touch her!
She had been fantasizing about this scene for a long time and it had finally come true!
“Village Chief Tong, I’ve come all this way to pay the taxes, without tax arrears or causing trouble and being straightforward. And yet you want to detain me for no reason. What are you up to exactly!”
