Aunt Mei's eyebrows lifted ever so slightly, her red lips pursed a little.
"Hmph! My Lord, you only know how to tease me. What is Madam's status, and what is mine? How could I possibly compare to Madam!"
Reverse psychology?
Prefectural Magistrate Hou knew it was reverse psychology, but he couldn't help but be amused nonetheless.
"Mei'er, no need to worry. I will surely let you see that day!"
Aunt Mei extended a finger as white as a scallion and tapped him on the forehead.
"Alright, you shameless old thing, get up now..."
While they were speaking, a rapid knocking suddenly came from outside.
"Lord! It's terrible! The Inspector General from the Capital City is here, waiting for you in the Yamen! Please go quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Prefectural Magistrate Hou completely panicked.
"What... What? The Inspector General from the Capital City?"
Aunt Mei quickly said, "He's here, he's here..."
