Chapter 25 The Unexpected Person
The county magistrate's attitude quickly changed, from the initial temptation and contempt to understanding and reassurance, he nodded slightly: "It turns out to be Mr. Pei, after I finish the case, I will find a restaurant to treat you well."

"My lord, you're being polite. I didn't intend to obstruct my lord's resolution of the case, but I just happened to pass by and heard this anecdote, so it's considered a predestined relationship." Pei Xian put his hands behind his back indifferently, obviously intending to deal with this matter to the end.

The boy started to panic, another big official came out for no reason, it seems that he still favored Cui Shun'er, what should I do?

"Then according to Mr. Pei, what should we do with this case?" The magistrate narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to see what Pei Xian thought.

"You, get up and answer." Pei Xian looked at Cui Shun'er who was still lying on the ground, his cold eyes seemed to see Cui Shun'er's tricks at a glance.

Cui Shun'er knew she was wrong, and fell into the shock and resentment of meeting Pei Xian again, and for a while, she obeyed his words and got up from the ground.

Pei Zheng also stepped forward to help Cui Shun'er, and just about to speak about Pei Xian, Cui Shun'er stopped him with his eyes.

"Returning to my lord, the woman and my boss are here to sell wild goods. It was the boy who didn't like our business, so he took action on our stall."

"You're talking nonsense, it's not like that at all." The boy retorted subconsciously, but when he received the warning from the magistrate's eyes, he had no choice but to languid again.

Pei Xian already knew this farce well, asking Cui Shun'er to repeat it was just to restore the story to everyone present, so as not to be suspected of favoritism.

"It seems that everyone has heard that this woman has no personal grievances with this boy, they are just a business relationship. If the boy didn't provoke and bring down the stall, why did the woman make such a fuss? "

Pei Xian's words were almost well-founded, cleared Cui Shun'er's suspicion of unreasonable troubles, and used the servant to overthrow the stall as the cause, making one have to believe that it was the servant who overthrew the stall that caused the women to be so rambunctious.

The people present applauded and shouted in agreement with Pei Xian's words, which made the magistrate's face turn blue with anger.

In the eyes of everyone, Cui Shun'er was originally a weak side, but now under Pei Xian's deliberate exaggeration, she became a role of pity for everyone. It was almost in the voice of the people that the county magistrate reluctantly let Cui Shun'er go.

"This time, Mr. Pei interceded for you. If you do such absurd things next time, it will not be so simple." With a naked threat, the county magistrate looked at Cui Shun'er with sparks in his eyes.

Cui Shun'er took it for granted, anyway, that bitch Pei Xian owed her, so why should she be grateful?
Thinking of her indifferent husband in her previous life, Cui Shun'er felt her heart throbbing.

After dealing with Cui Shun'er's affairs, Pei Xian turned around and walked towards the carriage. This made Pei Zheng, who had been standing by and watched for a long time, panic for a moment. He subconsciously stepped forward and called Pei Xian: "Father."

"Are you calling me?" Pei Xian looked at Pei Zheng in a daze, his eyes full of doubts.

"Yes, your name is Pei Xian, and it belongs to me..." Cui Shun'er forcibly covered her mouth before she finished speaking.

Cui Shun'er quickly apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, my boss has suffered from some illnesses since my old man died when I was young. Maybe you helped us remind him of something, sir. It will be fine later."

"Hmm." Pei Zheng wanted to say something, but he quickly pulled Pei Zheng away without giving Pei Xian a chance to continue asking.

On the way back, Pei Zheng pushed the cart with a look of resentment on his face. He didn't understand why his father didn't recognize them when he saw them, and instead acted like they were strangers.

How could Cui Shun'er fail to guess what Pei Zheng was thinking? She held Pei Zheng gently and explained: "Your father, my old man has died a long time ago, and he has become a skeleton. He is a high-ranking official. It's not your father, understand?"

"But he looks exactly like my father." Pei Zheng didn't understand why Cui Shun'er wanted to prevent him from recognizing his relatives. Obviously, Pei Xian was already a high-ranking official now, so shouldn't he take care of their family?
"In short, you have to rot this matter in my stomach, and you must not tell anyone, you know?" Cui Shun'er's serious expression frightened Pei Zheng, and he could only nod.

With things in their hearts, Cui Shun'er and Pei Zheng didn't chat any more along the way, they just wanted to go back first.

When they got home, Ma Qiufen and He Hua had prepared dinner and waited for them, and the children sat down obediently, waiting for them to go home for dinner.

Cui Shun'er was also quite relieved to see this scene. Fortunately, this big family is enjoying themselves at the moment, and she has nothing else to do, she just wants to maintain her life.

In the middle of the night, Cui Shun'er, who had had dinner, was tossing and turning in bed. What happened today was still lingering in her mind, especially Pei Xian's appearance.

"Damn man, since you have already left this house, why did you come back at this time." Cui Shun'er sat up irritably, put on her shoes and got out of bed muttering.

Thinking that the moonlight is good tonight, Cui Shun'er walked to the vegetable field in the backyard to see how the herbs she carefully cultivated were doing.

As soon as she got closer, she saw a thin figure busy in the vegetable field, which warmed Cui Shun'er's heart. She already guessed who it was.

"Second brother, why are you still working here so late, go back and rest." Cui Shun'er stepped forward to snatch the ladle from He Hua's hand, but He Hua dodged it.

"Mom, just let me do it. During the day, Qi Xing is always occupying my hands and I can't help. Now when the children are asleep, I can also contribute."

He Hua has a gentle and kind nature. If she hadn't been tortured by Cui Shun'er's vicious means in her last life, she wouldn't have died in depression.

It's a pity that Cui Shun'er couldn't explain these things to her, so he had to coax and threaten, so that He Hua put down the work in hand and went back to rest.

"Mom, aren't you going back?" He Hua looked at Cui Shun'er who was about to go forward and asked.

"I'll go further. This man is old and can't even sleep well." Cui Shun'er smiled helplessly, then turned and walked forward.

A few steps away is someone else's vegetable field, Cui Shun'er didn't intend to go for a walk, but who knows that from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a person lying not far away, which is quite scary in the middle of the night.

Cui Shun'er bravely walked over to see which one it belonged to, but just as she walked over, she smelled an extremely strong smell of blood, she subconsciously covered her nose and stepped forward.

Turning over the man's body, Cui Shun'er took advantage of the moonlight to get closer to see clearly that the man in front of her was Pei Xian who had helped her during the day?
