The peasant widow is famous all over the world

Chapter 12
After Tang Mian stayed nearby for a while, he didn't see the county magistrate's wife coming out, and saw the guards guarding the door of the county magistrate's wife's room, so he decided to go find Lu Zhiqiang first.

She has been away for too long, and if she doesn't go again, she is afraid that she will miss the time agreed with Lu Zhiqiang.

Sure enough, when she arrived at the place they agreed on, Lu Zhiqiang was already waiting there.

"Brother and sister, what took you so long? Did you encounter any trouble?" Lu Zhiqiang asked with concern.

Tang Mian smiled reassuringly, "Second cousin, I'm fine, don't worry."

Lu Zhiqiang felt relieved when he saw that Tang Mian really didn't look like anything was wrong.If something happened to his younger siblings, how would he explain it to his third uncle and his third aunt?
"I heard that the vegetarian food at Yuqing Temple is good. It's getting late now, so we might as well go to the dining hall." Lu Zhiqiang suggested.

Tang Mian shook his head, "Second cousin, I just met the county magistrate's wife. She seems to be in trouble. I want to go over and see if I can help."

"The county magistrate's wife should have capable people around her, so we don't need to worry about it, right?" Lu Zhiqiang said with disapproval.

Tang Mianqing frowned and said, "I just saw that there seemed to be no one around the county magistrate's wife. Second cousin, I know you are worried about my safety. Don't worry, I will do my best and will not risk my own safety." joke."

Lu Zhiqiang saw that Tang Mian seemed to be very persistent, so he could only agree, "Okay, I'll join you. I know some boxing and kicking skills, so if I encounter trouble, I might be able to block it."

"Okay, thank you second cousin." Tang Mian responded.

According to the memory of the previous life, the murderer of the county magistrate's wife was not a vicious person, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

However, it is still right to pay more attention.

Tang Mian took Lu Zhiqiang to the dormitory where the county magistrate's wife was resting. When he walked outside the gate, Tang Mian turned around and said, "Second cousin, this is where the female family members rest. It's not appropriate for you to go in."

Lu Zhiqiang looked at it and said, "Okay, you can go in alone and be sure to pay attention to safety. I will be outside. If you need anything, just shout."

"I know, second cousin."

After Tang Mian walked into the dormitory where the female family members rested, he did not deliberately go to see the situation at the county magistrate's wife, but just strolled around casually.

"Presumptuous, get out!"

The angry shouting voice of the county magistrate's wife reached Tang Mian's ears, making Tang Mian frown in confusion.

A moment later, Tang Mian saw Xiaocui walking out of the door with red eyes.

Tang Mian immediately hid aside to prevent Xiaocui from discovering her presence.

Xiaocui stood in the yard for a while, then turned and walked outside.

She had just turned around and walked a few steps when the county magistrate's wife opened the door and whispered to the female guard, "Follow Xiaocui and see if she goes to meet anyone. Report her every move to me."

"Madam, my duty is to stay here to protect you." The female guard refused to leave.

The county magistrate's wife frowned and looked at the guard and said, "My wife will be fine if she rests here. Just do as I say."

The female guard hesitated for a moment and said, "I cannot accept my order."

"You" the county magistrate's wife is almost pissed off with this stupidity.

"Madam." Tang Mian walked up to the two of them and shouted.

The county magistrate's wife raised her head when she heard the voice, and saw that the person who spoke was Tang Mian, and said happily: "It's you."

"A commoner's wife has met the county magistrate's wife." Tang Mian stepped forward and greeted her.

The county magistrate's wife stretched out her hand to support him and said, "Please get up quickly."

"Thank you ma'am."

The county magistrate's wife looked at Tang Mian, suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said to the guard: "She is here to accompany my wife, you should follow Xiaocui immediately." "Madam, she appeared by chance. I never dare to leave you here alone." The female guard said without hesitation.

"Then how did you leave my wife before?" The county magistrate's wife shouted coldly.

The female guard was speechless for a moment, not because they were too stupid, so they refused to leave even half a step no matter what.

The county magistrate's wife got angry and said with a stern face: "Why don't you hurry up and follow me? If the person who is responsible cannot be found out, do you think my wife's safety is guaranteed?"

The female guard still hesitated, so when Tang Mian saw this, she said spontaneously: "Tang Mian, a civilian woman, her husband's surname is Lu, from Qingyuan Village, Sifang Town. The guard sister can find me at any time."

Upon hearing this, the female guard looked at Tang Mian's face again, as if she wanted to engrave her appearance in her heart.Then he left and followed Xiao Cui.

The county magistrate's wife shook her head helplessly at the stubborn female guard.

When he turned to look at Tang Mian, he was very gentle, "Is that Tang Mian?"

Tang Mian nodded and responded: "Yes, madam."

"Come on, follow me into the house."

"Yes."

Entering the house, the county magistrate's wife said, "Sit down."

"Thank you, madam." Tang Mian responded and sat down.

The county magistrate's wife looked at Tang Mian and smiled gratefully: "Thank you so much for today. If you hadn't reported the news, I would have been kept in the dark, and I might have encountered something unexpected."

"A civilian woman doesn't dare to take credit. It's just a coincidence. As long as she can help my wife," Tang Mian said humbly.

"Coincidence is also a kind of fate, which means that I am destined to you."

Tang Mian smiled and said nothing.

"I owe you a huge favor today. I will thank you deeply when things are over." The county magistrate's wife said solemnly.

After hearing this, Tang Mian immediately stood up, lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to thank you so much. A common woman is brave and wants to ask my wife for help with something."

The county magistrate's wife was slightly startled, "Please tell me. As long as it is within my power, I will definitely do it for you."

Tang Mian knelt down on the ground without hesitation, and said as if he was extremely frightened: "Please protect me, madam."

"What are you doing? Please get up quickly." The county magistrate's wife quickly stood up and helped Tang Mian up.

Tang Mian took the county magistrate's wife's hand, stood up, and said with a hint of crying, "Thank you, madam."

The county magistrate's wife patted Tang Mian's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid. If you have any grievances in your heart, just tell me."

Tang Mian looked at the county magistrate's wife and smiled gratefully. He wiped away the tears that he had squeezed out and told the county magistrate's wife his story.

When talking about sadness and helplessness, he would choke up a few words, which looked so pitiful.

The county magistrate's wife really felt pity for her. After hearing what Tang Mian said, she was very angry. She calmed down and comforted her: "Don't be sad, I will definitely help you with this matter. A bunch of gossips who only know what to say behind your back, and some who worry about you all day long." She is a beautiful ruffian, as long as I am in Lu'an County for a day, I will protect you from danger. Even if I leave Lu'an County, I will make corresponding arrangements."

"Thank you madam for your mercy. I am very grateful to you as a civilian woman." The county magistrate and his wife will stay in Lu'an County for several years, so she has time to plan slowly.

The county magistrate's wife gave Tang Mian a feigned displeasure and said, "Don't say such silly things. You saved me and the child in my belly today. You are a great benefactor to me and my husband. I cannot thank you enough." No matter what, that’s what we say.”
