County Magistrate Wu didn't dare to object. "I apologize for the trouble, Mrs. Gu. Please don't concern yourself with these ignorant commoners. Once I've investigated the cause, I will be sure to give you a satisfactory explanation."
This was exactly what Jin Qianqian intended. "Then I shall trouble you, Lord Wu. I won't disturb you from presiding over the case."
After Jin Qianqian spoke, she swept her gaze over the crowd, and the gawking onlookers were so intimidated they quickly lowered their heads.
'She looks like such a gentle, kind lady from a prominent family, but who knew she was so ruthless.'
'They only voiced a few doubts and ended up like this. There's a reason they say commoners shouldn't fight officials; it's really true.'
Jin Qianqian didn't know what they were thinking, but if she had, she would have merely chuckled. She was a most law-abiding person; she had only just acted in accordance with the law.
