Chapter 434: Chapter 436 Express Your Feelings _1

After finishing speaking, Nan Feng glanced at Lin Shouye.

From his reactions, Lin Shouye seemed anything but alarmed.

Nan Feng turned her gaze to the county chief Zhang, and Zhang said, "Closure of your shop? Miss, it’s a matter handled by the Kim Chao, you can take your complaint there if you’re disgruntled."

"I have already visited them, however, they said I should come back in six months to file an application. Any businessman knows, waiting six months makes the previous endeavors a futile effort. I can’t possibly wait half a year."

Magistrate Zhang hesitated, acting as if he was ignorant of the proceedings, "Then just follow the Kim Chao’s orders, after all, you began by disregarding their authority, they have the right to decide whether or not you can open a shop."

Off to the side, Lin Shouye laughed inexplicably and chimed in, "Lady, if Magistrate Zhang had to deal with everything, wouldn’t he die from overwork? Don’t trouble the magistrate anymore. The fact that you could confront him brazenly without being caught and put to the whipping is lucky enough, you should take your leave."

Nan Feng let out a cold laugh. "On what grounds can they whip me? Officials are meant to stand up for the common people. When we face difficulties, why shouldn’t they help us? According to the Dajin Law, there is no reason to close my shop. Magistrate Zhang, instead of standing for the people, is neglecting us and sending us away. "

The county magistrate, chastised by a young lady, instantly barked out, "How dare you!"

Xue Ling joined the quarrel, supplementing on the side, "Magistrate Zhang, do you not realize how hard it is for commoners like us to open a shop? We’ve put our entire family assets in this venture. You say ’closure’, and it’s over. The pretext for closing the shop doesn’t make sense either. It’s said ’if the governing does not benefit the people, he might as well go home to sell sweet potatoes’."

"How brazen! Who are these impudent women? Have them banished!"

"Hold on!" Nan Feng stood protectively in front of Xue Ling.

As Zhang and Lin watched Nan Feng’s audacious stance, they assumed she had another point of wisdom to counter.

But after a pause, Nan Feng simply threw out, "We’ll leave on our own."

She then dragged Xue Ling away from the Yamen without another word.

...

It had started to rain.

Back at the shop, Nan Feng turned around to look at Xue Ling.

Xue Ling’s face mirrored her own anger and despair.

Nan Feng couldn’t help but forcefully smile, " Xue Ling, you’ve already done a lot for me these past days. But as you’ve seen, my problems are never-ending. Maybe you should go back to Ping County first, instead of running around with me."

With the falling darkness, the air became colder.

After a while, Xue Ling glared at Nan Feng, "Are you suggesting that I am the opportunistic sort? That I would abandon a friend in trouble? You’ve said that I have a strong Jianghu spirit. So, you should know that people of Jianghu value loyalty. I am not going back to Ping County until your issues are resolved."

Nan Feng was touched, if she were with anyone else, she would have hugged Xue Ling at that moment. But given their usual confrontations, she opted to make a joke instead, "Alright, if this suits you, you’re welcome to continue dogging me."

"If you’re touched, just say it. There’s no need to insult me."

"Shall we go eat at Wanjinfen?"

"I’m sick of that place, let’s find some other restaurant to dine."

"Sounds good..."

Because they were both upset, they turned their anger into an appetite during dinner, finishing several plates of food and two pots of wine.

Upon their return from the restaurant, Nan Feng noticed the sign saying "Closed for three days" on the door. Consumed by anger, she ripped the sign off without thinking.
