Chapter 99
The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while.

Ling Bao looked at this, looked at that, felt that Shang County Magistrate could not control her, but Daddy was by her side, so he said solemnly: "Daddy, don't be angry, anger is not good for your health, and it is easy to get wrinkles."

The last sentence was told to her by the king, but she also found the record in the book.

Cheng Zhongqian glanced at her, angry, little bastard, who is he venting his anger on?
As soon as this remark came out, Madam Shang, magistrate and monk, subconsciously looked at Cheng Zhongqian, and found that he had no wrinkles. He obviously had several children, but he didn't look old at all.

It happened that Shang Yuan came back, and the county magistrate entertained Cheng Zhongqian and Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi with him, and talked in the hall.

During the conversation, Shang County Magistrate found that the father and son had a good conversation, and Cheng Zhongqian was able to talk about many things that he didn't understand, not like ordinary people at all.

He thought about it, Cheng Zhongqian seemed to be exiled, he didn't care at the time, after all, exiled people can have any status.

But now he decided to look into it later.

Shang Jingxian took Lingbao to her room, proudly showing her the clay figurine she made earlier: "I preserved it well, it's not broken at all."

Lingbao: "I can save it too!"

Mrs. Shang smiled and watched the two little girls sitting on the bed, mumbling together as if they had endless words to say.

Lingbao frowned for a while, and beamed for a while, making Mrs. Shang curious about what they were talking about.

You know, Mrs. Shang is not usually a curious person.

In fact, Lingbao was asking Shang Jingxian why she felt that neither Shang Shiyue nor Mrs. Shang Jingxian was close.

Shang Jingxian said: "Because she was not born by my mother, but by Aunt Zhao."

Ling Bao stared wide-eyed, wrinkled his face: "The magistrate also has a concubine's room?"

"Yes, my father still likes her very much, and often goes to their yard." Shang Jingxian said a little disappointed, but maybe she was lost too many times, and she was not very sad.

Lingbao felt that this was indeed the case, with a concubine's room, he would no longer love his wife!

After playing for a while, a servant told him that it was time to serve dinner.

Mrs. Shang smiled and said: "Jingxian, Lingbao, we are going to eat."

"Come, come, come!" Lingbao has always had great enthusiasm for eating, and ran over happily.

Shang Jingxian was infected and looked forward to the next meal: "I'm coming too."

Cheng Zhongqian and the others had already sat down at the dinner table, and there were three seats left. Mrs. Shang asked the two girls to sit together.

In order to make amends for Lingbao and the others, Magistrate Shang specially asked someone to cook a table of sumptuous dishes, which they didn't usually eat every day.

Just found out that Magistrate Shang has a concubine, Lingbao stared at him several times as soon as he sat up.

Magistrate Shang asked with a smile, "What is Miss Cheng looking at me for?"

Ling Bao shook his head.

Lingbao is small and can't hold the dishes far away, but it doesn't hinder her, she can eat delicious steamed buns as long as she can.

Moreover, Cheng Yun and Cheng Yi fed her, for fear that she would starve.

"Lingbao, this is delicious, try it quickly."

"Eat more meat, so you can grow meat." It's fun to be fat.

Lingbao never refused anyone who came, Mrs. Shang Jingxian ate an extra bowl of rice than usual because of her eating habits.

"Master, Aunt Zhao is here and wants to see you."

Magistrate Shang frowned and said, "Didn't you see that I was entertaining guests? Tell her to go back."

The boy responded and withdrew to tell the truth.

Aunt Zhao was flustered for a while, so she could only go to the ancestral hall again, and persuade Shang Shiyue to admit her mistake. She had a hunch that if she didn't admit her mistake this time, it would be really hard to deal with.

That's for sure, it's fine to make small troubles in the past, if Cheng Zhongqian can't be coaxed this time, once his article is distributed, his official position will be achieved!

So when the meal was over, Shang Shiyue also received news that she really knew she was wrong this time.

The magistrate Shang ordered someone to bring her here.

Compared to just now, Shang Shiyue's eyes were redder and twitched, and she no longer had the previous arrogance.

Shang County Magistrate still loves this daughter. Seeing her crying so badly, his tone softened a bit: "Didn't you say you knew your mistake? Why don't you apologize to Mrs. Cheng?"

Shang Shiyue walked up to Lingbao obediently, and said with a dull head, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that to you yesterday, I know I was wrong, I hope you can forgive me."

Ling Bao pursed his lips and said: "Okay, but you have to keep your word, and you can't do that again in the future."

Shang Shiyue nodded with tears in her eyes.

Shang County Magistrate took a look at Cheng Zhongqian, and saw that although Cheng Zhongqian looked calm, he didn't say anything, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Shang Jingxian fulfilled her promise and brought Lingbao a box of sesame cakes when she was about to leave.

Lingbao said happily: "Then I'll bring you a toon tomorrow!"

Shang Yuan's smile froze: "This is unnecessary, right?"

Lingbao said seriously: "It's not for you, it's for Sister Shang!" Seeing Mrs. Shang at the side, she smiled and said sweetly, "There's also Madam."

Mrs. Shang smiled kindly: "Okay, then I will thank you first."

Lingbao kept saying no thanks, no thanks, friends just have to come and go.

People are not big, and there are piles of truths.

After parting, Magistrate Shang held Mrs. Shang's hand and said with emotion: "Today is really thanks to you."

Mrs. Shang said gently: "This is what I should do."

At noon, Magistrate Shang took a nap in Mrs. Shang's yard, and Aunt Zhao, who didn't wait for him to come, wept for a while.

After waking up, Magistrate Shang went to the front yard and ordered someone to look up Cheng Zhongqian's information. When he took a look, he couldn't help being surprised.

This family background, no wonder!

Not to mention that he once favored the eldest princess, his father is still the Duke of the state, but it happens that his generation can no longer be hereditary, but his eldest brother is also up to the mark, and now he is a second-rank official!

Not to mention that, even he himself has been an official, so he is a Beijing official!

Shang county magistrate was not qualified to speak to him even in front of him.

No wonder everyone in this family is neither humble nor overbearing, and they are not nervous at all.

What else can Magistrate Shang do now?I can only rejoice that I listened to the persuasion and called someone to apologize.

Although Cheng Zhongqian was exiled here, if he wants to contact his family, he will definitely be able to get in touch. At that time, he only needs his elder brother to "unintentionally" mention such a sentence to Yushi.
Then he can retire early.

That night, Aunt Zhao did not wait for the county magistrate again.

Because he went to Mrs. Shang's yard, held his wife's hand, and said, "Let Jingxian and the Cheng family walk around more."

He looked at them, sooner or later they could get up again.

Madam Shang nodded.

It's not easy for her daughter to have a good friend, even if he doesn't tell her, she won't stop them from communicating.

What's more, the little girl Lingbao is really likable.
