369 Zhang Zhan Is Shocked
Madam Qin originally only heard a commotion in the courtyard. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw that it was filled with people.
“Madam, there are too many people here.” Lu Liu walked forward and said in a low voice, “Why don’t I find a quieter place and bring the Wang Family to see you?”
Madam Qin raised her hand. “No need.”
She had seen even more lively scenes before.
Chi Ding wanted to lead Madam Qin to the main hall. As he pushed through the crowd and walked forward, he said to Madam Qin, “Lord Zhang Zhan has come to Yongding County to take up a post. He’s also at the Wang Family today to congratulate the Second Master of the Wang Family on obtaining the qualifications to become a scholar.”
“Zhang Zhan is here too?” Hearing a familiar name, Madam Qin raised her eyebrows.
In the main hall, Old Madam Wang dealt with everyone. Although she did not say much, she was indeed a little tired.
Seeing her frown slightly, Old man Wang said to Zhang Zhan, who was sitting at the head of the table, “Lord Zhang, my wife is frail. I’ll send her to the room to rest first and accompany you later.”
Zhang Zhan stretched out his hand slightly. “Please.”
Old Madam Wang was indeed tired. She had basically said enough about the sugarcane in the Hu Family Village. As for the other details, she naturally had to complete them slowly later.
One day was naturally not enough.
Old man Wang brought Old Madam Wang back to her room, but Old Madam Wang did not want to sleep. “There was a commotion outside just now. What happened?”
“I’ll go take a look later. You haven’t slept much since yesterday. You were still tossing and turning at night and didn’t sleep. I’m afraid you’re extremely sleepy now. Close your eyes first. I’ll call you when it’s time for lunch.” It was rare for Old man Wang to be so tough. He insisted on pressing Old Madam Wang onto the bed and letting her rest well.
In order to deal with these people, Old Madam Wang had indeed thought about things for a few days.
Those squires and rich families were stationed in the town. Some of them had taken root for decades, and some were hundreds of years old. They were much harder to deal with than Zhang Zhan, who was an official.
As the saying went, the King of Hell was easy to hide from, but the little ghosts were difficult to deal with.
If Old Madam Wang wanted to do business with them and use them as a springboard to support the Wang Family, she naturally could not let her guard down.
“It’s been many years since I’ve dealt with people like this. Indeed, I have to accept my old age.” Old Madam Wang twisted her shoulders and lay down in the end. However, she still instructed Old man Wang, “Go and take a look later and see if Ah Yu is back yet. There are many people inside and outside today. Although the Qin Family is watching over her, I’m still worried.”
“I understand. Don’t worry. Go to sleep.”
Only then did Old Madam Wang close her eyes in relief.
When Old man Wang came out, he found out that his fourth daughter-in-law had been knocked down at the door. Fortunately, she was fine.
Divine Doctor Xue brought Liang Xue over to take a look and prescribed some medicine to improve her blood flow and reduce stasis. When he walked out, he bumped into Old man Wang.
Just as Old man Wang was about to speak, he saw a group of people walking towards the main hall.
They looked different from others, attracting the attention of the surrounding villagers.
“Which relative of the Wang Family is this?”
“They look like a rich family.”
“That’s a maidservant beside her, right? Look at the clothes that the maidservant is wearing. She’s probably wearing better clothes than the Madam Landlord. She’s even glowing!”
As the villagers discussed, their voices were not lowered.
Old man Wang hurriedly went up to her. “This Madam is?”
Chi Ding briefly introduced Madam Qin’s identity and told her that this was the head of the Wang Family.
Madam Qin nodded at Old man Wang.
Old man Wang stared into Madam Qin’s eyes and felt that they were a little familiar, but he quickly looked away.
He was afraid that the other party would find it offensive.
“Since she’s Qin Huai’s mother, she’s our family’s esteemed guest. Please—”
When Old man Wang led Madam Qin into the main hall, Zhang Zhan took a casual look.
He took another look.
Then, he almost fell off the chair.
“Madam? Why are you here?!”
Could it be that the little demon was here too?
The Madam wasn’t here to silence them, right?!
