Chapter 464 This young lady is willing
"You..." Miss Cai, having lost face, her expression shifted again. Finally, disregarding her dignity as a young lady of high birth, she pointed at Lin Chang'er and cursed, "My father is an official of the imperial court. How dare you, a mere country bumpkin, threaten me like this? Aren't you afraid...?"
"What are you afraid of?" Lin Chang'er tilted her head back. "What does your father's official rank have to do with me? Do you think he, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, would make trouble for a country bumpkin like me?"
"If that's the case, there are always places where I can reason with the Emperor, such as the Prefectural Court, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Censorate."
He looked at her disdainfully, "Do you think your father would dare to reach here?"
"You..." Miss Cai was so angry that she trembled all over and couldn't utter any curses for a moment.
The maidservant beside her hurriedly patted her back, "Miss, Miss, don't be angry. When Young Master returns, he will definitely stand up for you."
"Master is far away in the capital, but Young Master is the county magistrate here!"
Miss Cai felt a little better after hearing this.
Yes, it's not appropriate for Dad to reach out, but my cousin is the local official.
Although her cousin treated her somewhat specially, it was only because of this wretched place, a place where bad people often come from poor and remote areas.
Anyone with decent features would be considered handsome, and when she sees her cousin, she'll definitely give him a piece of her mind.
Let him know how low-class this woman is.
In this way, her cousin would definitely not take her back to the capital and become a laughing stock.
Thinking this, Miss Cai glared at Lin Chang'er fiercely, "You just wait."
Having said that, he turned to get into the carriage.
"Wait..." Lin Chang'er said softly, extending her hand towards her, "I believe you!"
Miss Cai sneered, then suddenly had another idea. "I didn't bring it."
How could she forget about sending a message?
Her two younger brothers, who came from humble backgrounds, have been in the capital for some time now. This place is so far from the capital, and they have been out of contact for so long, she must be very worried.
But who told her to be so ungrateful? She'll keep her hanging on, watching her get anxious and upset, until she kneels down and begs her.
Lin Chang'er's eyes narrowed. "Didn't you bring it? If you didn't bring it, what kind of letter are you sending?"
Miss Cai crossed her arms and said, "I'm happy to."
Lin Chang'er looked her up and down, then ignored her and turned to Magistrate Li, "May I ask, Lord Li, when did they arrive?"
County Magistrate Li said, "I arrived here right at noon today."
Lin Chang'er smiled and said, "So you're saying you came here without even stopping at an inn, right?"
County Magistrate Li nodded truthfully.
"Thank you!" Lin Chang'er said, then looked up at Miss Cai again, her eyes cold. "Will you hand it over yourself, or should I do it?"
She patted the mud off her hands and said, "We country women don't have so many rules. We can be quite rough when we get physical. I advise you not to mess with me."
Miss Cai was taken aback, looking at her suddenly changing eyes, and felt inexplicably frightened. "You, what do you want to do?"
“I’m telling you, my cousin…”
"Lord Li, my cousin is your superior, and my father... Magistrate Li..."
Miss Cai wanted to use her father to threaten Magistrate Li, but Magistrate Li suddenly held his head, swayed, and muttered, "Everyone says this autumn heat is fierce, but I didn't believe it at first."
"Who would have thought that after only half a day's journey, the heat would make me lose my head."
"Master Lin, I would like to trouble you to find a doctor to relieve my heat."
After giving his explanation, Magistrate Li promptly helped the carriage up and slowly collapsed to the ground, unconscious...
