They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 326 Reporting to the Official
After hearing what Xu Zhichun said, Constable Yu was furious. "You bastard! It's too good for your wife not to beat him to death! Just because he's a man doesn't mean he has any shame. He dares to block the road and harass people in broad daylight. He's shameless."

Xu Zhichun smiled wryly: "If I do this today, the Qi family might take action. I'm planning to report it to the authorities. I might as well make this matter public. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Although she had tried her best to understand the ancient laws, there were no books on law available for sale on the market, and there were many gray areas that were generally accepted, which she understood even less.

Therefore, we still need to discuss this matter with Constable Yu.

After careful consideration, Officer Yu concluded that his sister-in-law's request should not conflict with that of his younger brother, the student. If he could file a lawsuit and expose the matter, the Qi family would be left with no way to resolve it.

On the other hand, Constable Yu really admired this woman; her courage and boldness were something that ordinary women could not match.

An ordinary woman would be completely at a loss and not know what to do if she encountered such a situation.

She even planned to report it to the authorities.

Pity.
Officer Yu sighed inwardly, regretting that Minglang had died young; otherwise, he and his sister-in-law would have been a perfect match.

"What does your sister-in-law plan to say to the master?"

"I was just about to discuss this with Officer Yu. What do you think, is it appropriate?"

After some deliberation and consideration, the two determined that this was the best they could do. Xu Zhichun immediately led Granny Qin and the others to the yamen to lodge a complaint.

Magistrate Lu was both shocked and furious. "The Qi family of Qingyang County? Or the former son-in-law of the Zeng family? Oh, I remember now, they caused quite a scene before—cough cough, they really have a lot of nerve!"

Magistrate Lu cursed inwardly for his incorrigible nature. That shameless playboy from the Qi family had first fooled around with his wife in broad daylight, which was extremely immoral. Now he even dared to openly provoke Madam Shanci. Does he think he has no respect for anyone?
Magistrate Lu comforted Xu Zhichun, saying, "Madam Xu has been frightened. Please go back and rest. I will definitely give Madam Xu an explanation for this matter."

"Thank you, sir. I will not return to the village for the time being, but will stay at the Jialu Inn in this county. If you have any questions, please send someone to let me know."

Magistrate Lu thought for a moment and nodded: "That's fine. I'll send someone to escort Madam Xu there."

"Thank you, sir!"

Magistrate Lu immediately summoned Constable Yu, ordering him to lead his men to Qingyang County and inform the local magistrate to go to the Qi family to arrest the young master Qi and the two servants who committed the crime.

Officer Yu was overjoyed and immediately dispatched his trusted confidants to hire a carriage and speed towards Qingshan County.

At Xu Zhichun's place, two constables from the yamen politely escorted them to the Jialu Inn, which startled the innkeeper and staff who hurriedly came out to greet them. The two constables instructed them to take good care of Madam Shanci, and the innkeeper readily agreed.

The innkeeper and his assistants, concealing their doubts, hurriedly arranged two superior rooms for Xu Zhichun. The three of them, master and servant, shared one room, while Zhang Quan had one room by himself. Xu Zhichun thanked them.

A large crowd had gathered inside and outside the inn, chattering incessantly.

"Long time no see, Madam Shanci is truly magnificent!"

"Indeed, Madam Shanci is truly remarkable; she is so enviable."

"If you had Madam Shanci's abilities, you wouldn't need to be envious! I always thought Madam Xu was no ordinary person, and it turns out she was right."

"But why is Madam Xu staying at an inn? Has something happened?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

Granny Qin Qing came out and asked the waiter to bring in a pot of tea. Hearing the crowd's discussion, she couldn't help but glance at them.

Her gaze was gentle, with a hint of unspoken words. Immediately, one of the bolder individuals asked, "Granny, what's wrong with Madam Shanci?"

Once someone started, many others immediately chimed in.

"Yes, yes, isn't Madam Shanci from Liangjia Village? Liangjia Village is very close to the county town, why would she be staying at an inn?"

"It was the official who brought Madam Shanci here. What happened?"

Granny Qin sighed, "Madam Shanci just went to the county government to report to the authorities."

"what?"

"what?"

"How dare someone bully Madam Shanci? What audacity!"

"Granny, please sit down and tell me in detail."

"Yes, yes, everyone be quiet, be quiet, listen to what the nanny says."

Granny Qin Qing then sat down and told everyone everything in detail.

Madam Shanci also had a farm in Qingyang County. Since it was almost spring planting season, Madam Shanci took them to the farm to check on the farming. However, on their way back, they were stopped by the eldest son of the Qi family in Qingyang County with his servants. Yes, you guessed it, it was the eldest son of the Qi family, the husband of the former eldest daughter of the Zeng family!
Because my wife has some connections with the Zeng family—as everyone knows—she has met Young Master Qi twice, which is why she recognized him at the time.

That young master Qi is like a madman. Sigh, I can't even bring myself to say it. What could such a depraved person like him possibly want by stopping Madam Shanci? He actually had the audacity to harass Madam Shanci, trying to marry her to wash away his filthy reputation!

Lady Shanci was unwaveringly loyal to her deceased husband. She once jumped off a cliff to follow him in death and nearly lost her life. Later, she vowed never to remarry. In Liangjia Village and the surrounding villages, everyone praised and admired her.
Lady Shanci was a virtuous woman who had received imperial rewards and commendations. How could she possibly be interested in a scoundrel like Young Master Qi, who was of questionable character? Of course, she resolutely refused.

Young Master Qi's carriage stubbornly blocked the road, refusing to move. So, Madam Shanci's sister, Chunfen, knocked Young Master Qi and his two henchmen unconscious, and they fled. Upon returning to Qingshan County, they immediately reported to the authorities, begging for justice.
What? You doubt Chunfen's abilities? It's true! If you don't believe me, I'll call her down right now. Any three or four of you can come at her together, and she can kick you flying. But if any of you get kicked, don't try to get medical bills.
Few people in Qingshan County have witnessed the Spring Equinox's power, so of course, no one believed it.

“This is too…”

"Did I hear that right? This old woman said that Chunfen is Madam Shanci's good-sister? A woman? Is she really that amazing?"

I also think it's impossible.

"I'm actually quite curious and want to see."

"I am me too."

Granny Qin sighed, "Madam Shanci's reputation cannot be ruined by such a filthy person. This matter must be made clear to everyone. Alright, I will call Chunfen down right now."

Fortunately, the Spring Equinox is here today, otherwise things would be even more complicated.

No wonder the lady treats Chunfen so well; she truly deserves it.

Granny Qin Qing quickly called Chunfen down.

The crowd was excited.

"This is the Spring Equinox Maiden."

"He looks quite thin."
