Chapter 824: Laughing at her——2?
In her heart, Su Wan felt really regretful even if a hundred taels were not a big blow to her family's financial condition, it wasn't a small sum either. How can she not feel upset?
" Forget it. Let's go to sleep," Su Wan sighed before heading to her bedroom. However, as soon as she opened the door of her room, she found Lin Chen lying on the side of the bed with a smile on his face. She raised an eyebrow before saying, " What are you doing? Didn't you hear the doctor say that I need at least three months to recover?"
" Of course, I heard the doctor, my sweet wife," Lin Chen spoke in a sing-song voice before sliding down the bed as he headed close to Su Wan. He reached out his arm and then wrapped his arm around Su Wan's waist before pulling her close. He hummed softly against Su Wan's back before saying, " I am not going to do anything but I miss you so much.
You only care for Little Feng and Little Heng these days. At least look at your pitiful husband, look at me. With the lack of attention from you, I have shrivelled up and become so thin. See?"
He pointed to his well-defined jawline causing Su Wan to smile at him with a light shake of her head. She lightly slapped him on the arm and then said, " You are really getting jealous of your sons now? Really?"
Lin Chen hummed softly and then said, " Why? Can't I? They took your attention away from me." He mused as he hugged Su Wan from the back.
Su Wan rolled her eyes, she knew very well that this man was only acting spoiled and nothing else. She patted him on the arm before saying, " Fine if you want to sleep then sleep but don't get handsy with me or I will kick you out."
" But I want to cuddle."
" …Fine, now stop pouting."
….
The next day, Su Wan woke up early and went to the county office. Even if this place was in ruin, she wanted to see just how bad the damage was which was why she headed towards the county office.
However, as soon as her carriage arrived at the county office, instead of finding the one in charge Su Wan came face to face with a guard who was looking down at her with contempt while standing on top of the stairs.
" Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know that you need to get an appointment before entering the county office?" The guard spoke with an impatient voice causing Su Wan to frown. She hadn't even introduced herself and yet this guard was in a hurry to mess with her?
Did she look like a soft persimmon or did the words ' Bully me' written on her head?
" How dare——" Lin Chen opened his mouth to scold the guard, how dare this man scold his wife when even he did not dare to raise his voice in front of Su Wan, however, he was stopped by Su Wan who raised her hand while looking at the guard coldly.
" Do you know who I am?" She asked. Her eyes were cold as ice.
The guard looked at Su Wan with a mocking look on his face. He was the guard of the county office for a long time and had never seen Su Wan before, thus he did not take her seriously and thought that she was just a woman who came to look for the officials inside the county office.
Thus, he scoffed and then said, " Who cares? You are just a woman. Even if you are the concubine of some high official, you need to have an appointment without one you cannot go inside."
Seeing that the guard was looking down on her because she was a woman, Su Wan pursed her lips. This was not the first time when she was being looked down on which was why she did not react as violently as she did the last time. What was more, this guard was also doing his job, if she ignored his snappish voice and contemptuous attitude, Su Wan couldn't find any fault with him.
Thus, she calmly sighed and then looked at the guard before saying in a soft voice, " I would like you to call Lord Yan Zhao for me. As I am the county magistrate of the Big Ocean City, he knows me——" just as she was about to take out the official letter of appointment, she heard the guard snigger.
Now. This was annoying.
Su Wan raised her head and looked at the guard in front of her before tilting her head to the side as she asked coldly, " Is there something to laugh about in this situation?"
The guard looked at Su Wan as if he was looking at a clown and then sniggered mockingly, " Isn't it? You are saying that you are the county magistrate? You? A woman is the county magistrate? Haha! If you are the county magistrate then I am the Emperor." He then raised his hand and waved impatiently at Su Wan and said, " Go back.
I don't know why you want to make trouble but I am not willing to play with you. If you don't leave then don't blame me for being impolite!"
