County Magistrate Shen waved him off in frustration.
Mrs. Shen sighed in the room. County Magistrate Shen wanted to complain about his son, but he couldn’t say anything when he saw his wife like this. Mrs. Shen broke the silence first. “Tianci can’t be so naive anymore.”
“Big Sister-in-law is too ambitious. Not only does she want to control the Li Family, but she also doesn’t forget to think about me. I haven’t agreed to her niece’s matter yet, but she dares to reach into the Shen Family.”
“With Tianci’s personality, if we really let He Ruhuan in, wouldn’t he be fooled by her?”

Mrs. Shen glared at him, but found that she couldn’t refute him.
The couple was silent for a long time. County Magistrate Shen said, “1 received another secret letter today. I’m afraid that the dam in Luo Prefecture won’t last until the end of the year. By then, Prefect Yan will have left office and he can push all the responsibility away. The flood will wash away all the evidence and won’t hurt them at all, but the people will displace…”
Mrs. Shen held his hand. “I’ll do whatever you want.”
County Magistrate Shen held her hand. “Leqing, what more can 1 ask for when I have such a wife like you?”
Mrs. Shen blushed and chided him. “Alright, tell me what you want to do first.”
County Magistrate Shen paced back and forth and said as if he had made up his mind, “I’m just a county magistrate. Even if I write a memorandum, I can’t send it out from under Prefect Yan’s nose. I want to go to Teacher.”
Mrs. Shen asked, “Teacher? You mean Dean Lu?”
She said in surprise, “But didn’t you swear to Teacher back then that you would never form cliques for personal gain and have to rely on yourself…”
County Magistrate Shen covered his mouth. “It’s a slap in my face. I was young and frivolous back then. I finally understand that the court is full of tricks. 1 can’t do anything alone. That’s befriending, not forming a party…”
Mrs. Shen covered her mouth and laughed, but County Magistrate Shen pretended not to see it. He cleared his throat and said, “I happen to have a recommendation from the academy. Why don’t 1 bring some gifts to the academy next time and apologize to Teacher and send Tianci to the academy?”

County Magistrate Shen patted his wife’s hand. “Tianci has grown up. He can’t be as carefree as a child all the time.”
Under normal circumstances, Mrs. Shen might be reluctant, but what happened during the day and the danger her husband was about to face made her realize rationally that her husband was right. It was time for Tianci to grow up.
Having said the serious thing, Mrs. Shen mentioned Xiaoxiao to County Magistrate Shen. “That child seems to want to work with me. Although I don’t know what kind of business she is doing, 1 think it has something to do with food.”
County Magistrate Shen paused and said calmly, “Oh? That’s a pity. Your family rules don’t allow you to have conflicts with their business.”
Mrs. Shen looked at him for a while and poked him with her finger. “Then He Ruhuan will make the decision to ruin the business between Fragrance Restaurant and the Ning Family.”
County Magistrate Shen pressed down the corners of his mouth. “Oh? She did a good thing.”
Mrs. Shen spat at him. “Pretend, continue pretending! Then I’ll have a good chat with Xiaoxiao later, right? I heard that girl’s words. She probably wants to cooperate with me on some business.”
After some thought, she added, “The food business!”
County Magistrate Shen turned around and said in a serious tone, “Since we are going to do business seriously, we can’t be too casual, or it will seem that we don’t respect her enough.. Why don’t we ask Tianci to visit her at her house some day?”
