The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1877: Chapter 1877: The Relationship Between Xun Sheng and the Chen Family

Everyone in the courtyard had a look of shock on their faces, as if they had just experienced an auditory hallucination.

But the respectful demeanor of Xun Sheng was so clear, even the classmate standing next to him was full of astonishment. After a while, he pulled at his sleeve and asked in a low voice, ”You, what did you just call her?”

”Wen’an County Lord.” Xun Sheng straightened up and introduced to everyone, ”This is the Wen’an County Lord, personally conferred by His Majesty not long ago.”

Xun Sheng passed the scholar examination last year along with Meng Yunzheng; at that time, Meng Yunzheng was first, and Xun Sheng was third.

At that time, Shu Yu, Meng Yunzheng, and the Dongqing Temple master they had finally found were eating at the Yuelai Restaurant where Xun Sheng was staying. Xun Sheng recognized the carriage that Meng Yunzheng had parked downstairs and hurried upstairs to discuss academics with him.

Shu Yu was in the private room then and met Xun Sheng.

Though they only met once, both left a deep impression on each other.

At that time, Xun Sheng knew that Meng Yunzheng’s fiancée was the Village Chief, and the Heating Pack was invented and offered by her.

Later on, Xun Sheng stayed at the prefectural school in Changjin Prefecture to study. He was originally supposed to return home before the end of the year, but the prefecture fell into chaos, so he simply stayed.

As scholars, they pursue meritorious titles to embark on official careers in the future. They were always attentive to city news, and they discussed the initially afflicted Chenggu County daily.

So, Xun Sheng was very well-informed. He knew who the new county magistrate of Chenggu County was, and he also knew about the newly conferred Wen’an County Lord, naturally understanding that this county lord was the former Village Chief Lu Xiang.

To be honest, Xun Sheng admired her.

Just now, after entering with Chen Qiu, his gaze was drawn to Lu Sanzhu, dressed in the most luxurious attire and appearing to be in charge. Shu Yu, standing behind, was a young lady. As a scholar, Xun Sheng considered himself a gentleman and naturally avoided staring at a young lady, resulting in not recognizing her immediately.

He didn’t expect that the side involved in the fight was actually the Wen’an County Lord.

Xun Sheng, though a bit absorbed in his studies, was not someone oblivious to social norms and conventions.

Since the other party was a county lord, he obviously could not treat her with a strong stance.

Moreover, he was also puzzled. Given the status of the Wen’an County Lord, why would she inexplicably make things difficult for Uncle Chen?

Thinking of this, Xun Sheng turned to look at Chen Bing.

At that moment, Chen Bing and the others present were all pale and dazed.

The onlooking townspeople were even more incredulous, now looking at the Chen family with detached eyes.

This was a county lord they had offended; surely, it wouldn’t end with just a beating.

Moreover, what Chen Bing did to the county lord’s aunt was something even ordinary people couldn’t tolerate, right?

Xun Sheng silently looked around and seeing no reaction from the Chen family, hesitated for a while before finally asking with reluctance, ”County Lord, I wonder what mistake the Chen family made to prompt such drastic actions?”

Shu Yu responded with a question, ”I wonder what is Scholar Xun’s relationship with the Chen family?”

”I...”

Before Xun Sheng could answer, his classmate hastily replied, ”To the county lord, Miss Chen of the Chen family saved Brother Xun last year, so she is considered an恩人 of his. Therefore, upon hearing that Miss Chen said the Chen family was in trouble, he came to look.”

This classmate clearly intended for Xun Sheng to maintain some distance from the Chen family.
