Chapter 1054: Chapter 1054: County Magistrate Zhang Fainted

There were originally some guests from the Lu family present, who were on good terms with the Lu family.

The rest also had no grudge against Lu Shuyu, and more importantly, Monarch Lu Xiang was their Jiangyuan County’s representative, the face of Jiangyuan County. A county magistrate from the prefecture inexplicably coming here to show off, naturally, everyone stood by Shuyu’s side.

Initially, they were apprehensive of County Magistrate Zhang’s status, but after what just happened, knowing that even the emperor sent gifts for their Monarch Lu Xiang’s Coming-of-age Ceremony, what was there to fear about County Magistrate Zhang?

Soon, someone in the crowd loudly said, “Every word Monarch Lu Xiang said is true; it was County Magistrate Zhang who brought her brother over to cause trouble.”

“Yes, I was right here just now, witnessing everything clearly from start to finish. County Magistrate Zhang’s carriage stopped at Monarch Lu Xiang’s doorstep, and the Lu family’s servants were greeting guests. When they saw them approaching, they went forward to inquire, only for that Zhang Maolin to crack his whip without saying a word.”

“And those two guards, from the beginning, they were charging towards Monarch Lu Xiang. They were so fierce and vicious as if they were going to kill Monarch Lu Xiang.”

“Lord, our Monarch Lu Xiang is truly innocent, and Zhang Maolin is totally unworthy of Monarch Lu Xiang. A good girl like Monarch Lu Xiang should naturally be matched with a worthy and good gentleman. That Zhang Maolin is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, disgusting people.”

“Lord, you must seek justice for Monarch Lu Xiang.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Listening to the continuous accusations and blame in her ears, County Magistrate Zhang just felt her vision darkening.

She wanted to shout at the crowd to be quiet, to stop them from spouting nonsense, as she had in the past.

But she opened her mouth and couldn’t utter a single word, and when she lifted her head, she saw Xiang Weinan looking at her coldly.

“County Magistrate Zhang, it seems this matter needs to be properly handled by this official. Although you are a magistrate, Monarch Lu Xiang also holds a dignified status, and falsely accusing someone violates the laws of the Dasu dynasty. I suggest you come with me to the county office to clear this matter up.”

County Magistrate Zhang’s knees went weak, she shook her head and tried to leave.

“No, I am the county magistrate, you can’t take me away, no…”

She began to struggle, and Xiang Weinan signaled to Hu Li.

The latter stepped forward and said, “County Magistrate Zhang, don’t be nervous. As you said, you are the magistrate. Our lord will handle this impartially, as long as you go to the county office and explain things clearly.”

Saying this, as she struggled, he exerted a little force, and County Magistrate Zhang rolled her eyes and fainted directly.

Xiang Weinan said, “What happened? Doctor Zhao, take a look at her.”

Zhao Xi diligently stepped forward, checked County Magistrate Zhang’s pulse, and then said, “It’s nothing serious, just pent-up emotions leading to a momentary attack of rage affecting her heart, causing her to faint. She’ll wake up after a good rest.”

Xiang Weinan breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good. Come, take County Magistrate Zhang back to the office. Be careful, don’t let her get hurt.”

Then he glanced disdainfully at the already speechless Zhang Maolin, “Take him as well.”

Hu Li, along with a few officers, quickly carried the people onto County Magistrate Zhang’s carriage.

After they left, Xiang Weinan said to Shu Yu, “County Magistrate Zhang probably won’t wake up for a while. Monarch Lu Xiang, please return first. As it’s your Coming-of-age Ceremony, it’s best not to be disturbed by troubling matters. Once County Magistrate Zhang wakes up, I will naturally get to the bottom of the situation. If Monarch Lu Xiang’s presence is required, I will send for the Village Chief.”
