Meng Ruyu angrily glared at Meng Yao, stomped her foot, and went after Meng Qingshan.
The government officer was ordered to question Meng Zhu, and Meng Yao, after saying a word to the village chief, took the officer back home.
When they left, the County Magistrate instructed the officer a few things. Although Meng Yao didn't hear clearly what was said, Zhao Xiaoshu did, and had already told Meng Yao on the way back.
The County Magistrate said that since Meng Zhu was a married woman, he should just go through the motions.
So, Meng Yao was not worried about anything.
But Meng Zhu didn't know this and was very nervous.
Li Changning was also very nervous, fidgeting with Meng Zhu's hand.
Li Chang'an, on the other hand, was calm and composed, conversing with the officer without any sign of nervousness.
The officer was polite as well, speaking with an effort to maintain some elegance. He asked a few simple questions and then bid farewell.
