Chu Qingzhi nodded and asked with concern, “What about you?”

“Me too, but I was worried that you didn’t eat, so I specially bought some for you.” Tang Jinghong handed her the breakfast he had bought for Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi lowered her head and looked at the breakfast. She suddenly felt sweet inside.

She glanced at Tang Jinghong and took the breakfast. “Thank you.”

A smile appeared in Tang Jinghong’s eyes. “Eat while walking? Or do you want to find a place to sit and eat before leaving?”

“Let’s eat while walking.” Chu Qingzhi thought to herself. No wonder girls liked to date mature men. It felt good to be taken care of. However, if she had known that Tang Jinghong would buy breakfast for her, she wouldn’t have eaten breakfast.

Worried that Chu Qingzhi might choke on the food while walking, Tang Jinghong slowed his pace.

When they reached the county office, Chu Qingzhi finished her breakfast. She touched her stomach and felt a little bloated.

A sedan chair was carried to the county office, and a graceful woman got out.

The servant girl helped the woman into the county office.

When the woman saw Chu Qingzhi, she glared at her fiercely. Her eyes were filled with ferocity, as if she harbored a deep hatred for Chu Qingzhi.

Chu Qingzhi was confused. Did she ever offend that woman?

After the woman walked to the front, Tang Jinghong whispered to Chu Qingzhi, “That woman is Rong Yufan’s mother.”

Chu Qingzhi was enlightened. She had sent her son to prison last night. No wonder this woman treated her like an enemy. She was indeed her enemy!

Tang Jinghong then said, “Qingzhi, I’ll be on your side. You don’t have to be afraid of anything.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled at Tang Jinghong. “Do I look like someone who’s afraid?” She exuded a confident glow and looked very eye-catching.

Tang Jinghong smiled. “No.” She looked like a beautiful jade covered in a mysterious veil.

When they entered the county office, the county magistrate happened to come out of the inner hall. He was accompanied by a refined secretary. There were imposing constables standing on both sides of the hall. The atmosphere was solemn, making people feel afraid.

The county magistrate cupped his hands at Tang Jinghong and bowed. “General.”

Tang Jinghong raised his hand slightly. “Just handle the case. Don’t worry about me.”

The county magistrate instructed a servant, “Bring a chair and tea for the general.”

The servant immediately fetched a chair.

Tang Jinghong sat on the chair calmly and took a sip of tea, exuding a dignified aura.

Madam Rong looked at Tang Jinghong in surprise and thought to herself, No wonder Chu Qingzhi can send my son to prison. It turns out that the general is supporting her.

How could Chu Qingzhi be so close to the general?

Her gaze suddenly darkened as she made a malicious guess. Could it be that Chu Qingzhi was shameless and slept with the general?

That must be the case. Chu Qingzhi was dressed like a peasant girl. Other than her young body, what else could the general like about her?

One after another, many madams entered the county office. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why the county magistrate had invited them.

The county magistrate glanced at the madams and asked Madam Shen, “Madam Shen, are these madams your close friends?”

Madam Shen nodded, feeling a little uneasy. “Your Lordship, please tell us what we are here for. We don’t know anything. We’re really scared.”

The county magistrate nodded. “Madam, calm down.”

The county magistrate then instructed, “Bring Shen Ruyue here.”

The constable cupped his fists. “Yes, my lord.”

The madams looked at each other. Who was Shen Ruyue?

Only Madam Shen and Madam Zhang remembered Shen Ruyue. However, both of them were puzzled. What happened to Shen Ruyue?

Shen Ruyue was brought into the court with disheveled hair and a dirty face. She looked around and finally felt relieved when she saw Chu Qingzhi.

She was very worried that Chu Qingzhi was lying to her. She did not sleep last night and had waited until now.

She knelt in the center of the court. “Greetings, my lord.”

The county magistrate said, “Miss Chu feels that your case is misjudged and is willing to overturn it for you. When I ask you questions later, you must answer them truthfully.”

Shen Ruyue replied hurriedly, “Yes, my lord..”
