The county magistrate's wife

Led by Peng Shulan, after walking through several streets and only a few hundred meters, Yin Yunze arrived at a house that was much better than an ordinary family's house, but still considered luxurious.

Standing at the entrance, Yin Yunze saw the Dynastic Karmic Luck that enveloped the entire mansion.

Compared to simply protecting the Dynastic Karmic Luck for one person, the golden-purple light that enveloped the entire mansion seemed much more grand and majestic.

With this kind of force, even ordinary evil spirits would be in serious trouble if they encountered it.

This shows that although Xu Hanxian had his flaws, he was still considered a good official, at least in terms of the Dynastic Karmic Luck.

While Yin Yunze stopped to observe, Peng Shulan stepped forward and knocked on the brass ring on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and an elderly man in his fifties peeked out from inside.

Upon seeing Peng Shulan and Yin Yunze, the old man asked with some confusion, "Constable Peng, what brings you here? Is there something you need from the master? And who is this young lady?"

"Steward Xu." Peng Shulan politely clasped his hands in greeting to the old man, "It wasn't you who sent me, sir, but I've met a highly skilled doctor who happened to hear that Miss Yue's condition hasn't improved..."

"Really?" As an elderly person brought by Xu Hanxian his hometown, the Steward Xu was naturally very worried about Xu Hanxian's daughter's illness.

Although somewhat puzzled as to why Peng Shulan hadn't brought the doctor directly, Peng Shulan's status as a constable was undeniable. Without thinking too much about it, Steward Xu quickly opened the door and invited Peng Shulan in. "Constable Peng, please come in quickly, I'll call Madam out right away."

As Steward Xu went into the backyard to invite the magistrate's wife, Yin Yunze and Peng Shulan stood in the courtyard, looking around the magistrate's residence with great interest.

After only a few glances, Yin Yunze lost interest, feeling that it wasn't as good as the portrayals in some movies and TV dramas.

Compared to Yin Yunze's relaxed demeanor, Peng Shulan couldn't help but feel nervous as the matter approached, and leaned closer to ask, "Sir, are you really confident?"

"If I weren't confident, why would I have dared to come here?" Yin Yunze naturally wouldn't show any weakness in front of Peng Shulan, and said confidently, "If even I am helpless, I'm afraid Miss Xu will be in grave danger."

Yin Yunze wasn't just making empty boasts when he said that.

Things are different now. Yin Yunze could easily use Illusion Technique to show the real doctor after learning about Miss Xu's condition.

If conventional medical treatments, combined with Yin Yunze's Heal Wounds and Cure Illness, then it's likely not an incurable illness, but one that cannot be cured by unconventional methods.

Hearing Yin Yunze's confident tone, Peng Shulan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Yunze didn't have to wait long before he saw Steward Xu leading a haggard-looking woman out of the inner courtyard.

This was a woman in her early twenties, fair-skinned and beautiful, with her hair styled in a traditional Chinese updo. Her appearance was no less than Sun Qin's; she was gentle and delicate, yet possessed a completely different, refined and demure charm.

In comparison, the magistrate's wife had a more memorable feature than Sun Qin: a perfectly placed teardrop beneath her right eye.

Her eyes sparkled with an indescribable allure, while her lowered gaze added a touch of poignant melancholy.

Yin Yunze never expected that the tigress Peng Shulan spoke of, who made Xu Hanxian's family afraid to even return home, was actually such a gentle and beautiful woman.

"Madam!" Peng Shulan greeted the woman respectfully, which also confirmed the woman's identity.

"Constable Peng, there's no need for such formalities."

After a brief, perfunctory gesture, Zuo Xiaoyu glanced up at Peng Shulan's back.

Seeing that no one was there, a hint of disappointment flashed in Zuo Xiaoyu's eyes, but she still asked gently, "Constable Peng, I heard from Uncle Xu that you found a famous doctor? I wonder where that doctor is now? I'll send someone to invite him over to treat Yue'er."

Listening to Zuo Xiaoyu's soft and gentle voice, Yin Yunze couldn't understand how she had suddenly become a tigress.

"Madam, the renowned physician has arrived." Peng Shulan said, pointing to Yin Yunze, and said sincerely, "This Miss Green Hill Yi Yun is the highly skilled doctor I was referring to."

Although Peng Shulan's introduction was very formal, it was clear that neither of them thought that Yin Yunze, who looked no more than ten years old, could be some kind of miracle doctor.

"Peng Shulan! What's wrong with you?!"

Steward Xu's face darkened with anger, and he couldn't help but shout, "How dare you come here... Believe me or I'll go and complain to the master about you!"

"Ah?"

Zuo Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, looking at Yin Yunze, her beautiful eyes veiled with tears. Unable to hold back her sobs, Zuo Xiaoyu cried out, "Constable Peng, even if my husband has mistreated you in any way, there's no need for you to come here and make a fool of me, a mere woman!"

Even now, Zuo Xiaoyu still couldn't bring herself to say a single harsh word.

It has to be said that Zuo Xiaoyu's performance has once again refreshed Yin Yunze's concept of a "tigress".

How did this magistrate's wife, who would cry for a long time even if you just yelled at her, manage to make Xu Hanxian afraid to go home?

However, after observing Zuo Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance for a moment, Yin Yunze realized that Xu Hanxian's fear of his wife was for a reason.

Such a virtuous and kind woman, if truly loved deeply, how could one dare, how could one bear to let such a beauty shed tears?

A furrowed brow can unsettle a person, and tears can cause even greater panic.

At this moment, Yin Yunze gained a profound understanding of the saying that tears are a woman's best weapon.

Even if Xu Hanxian a drunkard and womanizer, Zuo Xiaoyu only needed to stand there.

No need for blame, no need for arguing.

She simply lowered her eyes and shed tears, and Xu Hanxian couldn't care about anything else; all he wanted to do was appease this lady.

The reason I haven't dared to go home these past two days is because I can't cure the child or appease my wife.

Escaping is shameful, but it's very effective.

Even if the truth were revealed, others would likely only assume that Xu Hanxian excuses for himself.

Over time, Xu Hanxian's reputation for being henpecked spread far and wide, and Zuo Xiaoyu naturally became known as a "tiger mom" in other people's eyes.

"Madam, how could I dare to lie to you!" Upon seeing this, Peng Shulan immediately felt a headache coming on.

If Xu Hanxian finds out that he made Zuo Xiaoyu cry, Peng Shulan's job as a constable will truly be over.

Turning to look at Yin Yunze, Peng Shulan quickly said, "Miss Qingqiu, why don't you show Madam what you've got?"

"Madam, don't you know that one cannot judge a book by its cover, nor can one measure the depths of the sea with a bushel?"

Hearing Peng Shulan's call, Yin Yunze looked at Zuo Xiaoyu and shook his head, saying, "If Madam trusts me, I will go and see your daughter. If not, I will return home now. Consider this my apology for disturbing you."

As he spoke, Yin Yunze took out two Heal Character Talisman and injected two Heal Wounds and Cure Illness into the bodies of Zuo Xiaoyu and Steward Xu respectively.

Zuo Xiaoyu felt a beam of white light enter her body, and she instantly felt much more relaxed. In particular, her eyes, which had been sore from crying these past few days, were no longer uncomfortable at all. The fatigue that had accumulated over the past few days was also swept away.

Needless to say, Steward Xu felt an energy welling up inside him, as if he had returned to twenty years ago, his whole body brimming with inexhaustible strength.

This single move was enough to make the master and servant no longer dare to underestimate Yin Yunze.

"Lady."

Looking at Yin Yunze and recalling his earlier words, Steward Xu felt somewhat embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so he quickly reminded Zuo Xiaoyu.

"Ah, esteemed one, please wait." Zuo Xiaoyu also realized what was happening and quickly curtsied, saying softly, "This humble one is Zuo, I was blind to your True Person! Please forgive my rudeness. May I ask where you come from?"

"I am Yi Yun, the Nine-Tail of Qingqiu Fox Green Hill Yi Yun!"

Yin Yunze's act of lying down was intended as a direct warning to Xu Hanxian, so he naturally wouldn't hide anything.

"My true body cannot come here; this girl is merely a vessel temporarily housing a fragment of my true spirit."

As he spoke, Yin Yunze secretly used the Group Character Talisman, making everyone see nine large, flying tails appear behind him.

After all, he was just someone who was protected by others, so Yin Yunze wasn't afraid that Zuo Xiaoyu could see through his Illusion Technique like Xu Hanxian could.

In fact, Zuo Xiaoyu hadn't seen through it at all. But to Yin Yunze's surprise, Zuo Xiaoyu saw an illusion and, disregarding her status, immediately knelt down. "So it's a divine fox descending to earth! Divine fox, please save my Yue'er!"

Unlike Xu Hanxian did not believe in ghosts and gods, Zuo Xiaoyu seemed to have great reverence for them.

That makes sense, though; women are generally more respectful of these things than men.

"Madam, please rise!"

Ignoring the waste, Yin Yunze used the Power of Incense Offerings to lift Zuo Xiaoyu up from the ground. "If you trust me, Madam, please take me to see your daughter!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" This small demonstration greatly impressed Zuo Xiaoyu, who nodded repeatedly and said, "Divine Fox, please come in with me!"

As they were talking, Zuo Xiaoyu quickly stood up and walked ahead to lead the way. Since it was the inner courtyard, Peng Shulan was left outside to have tea by Steward Xu.
