Uncle Li frowned upon hearing this, "What does Ms. Luo have to do with it?"
Yang Lichun snorted, "Ms. Luo doesn’t like Yang Chuxia, and she dares to make a fuss just because Yang Xiaochuan and Yang Dachuan have the same blood."
Li Anshun’s brother couldn’t stand it and didn’t like what she said, so he muttered, "You also argued with Yang Chuxia, acting like you know it all."
"You... ungrateful thing." Hearing about her, Yang Lichun was so angry that she slammed the grass curtain and went inside the house.
As for the Li Family, besides Auntie Li’s youngest son, the other two men weren’t the type to stand up for themselves. Furthermore, Auntie Li’s injuries were indeed minor and had healed quite a bit by the next day, and with Yang Lichun’s words, the matter gradually fizzled out.
The Li family didn’t bother Yang Chuxia anymore, and she seemed to have forgotten the incident, with only Auntie Li getting beaten up.
As for the source of the problem, Ms. Luo, Old Yang scolded her viciously, and even called her elder brother over.
Meanwhile, nothing significant happened to Yang Chuxia after the Auntie Li incident, except that Ye Zi’an and Mr. Luo, who had set off for the prefecture, didn’t return.
Even Mu Shaoling hadn’t sent any news, so she could only wait at home, feeling a little anxious.
Feeling similarly anxious was Shen Qiu, who had met Mu Shaoling. But of course, her concern wasn’t about Ye Zi’an’s matter, but the imperial selection instead.
Having waited at home for a few days with no news, she had no choice but to go to Mu’s Clinic hoping to meet Mu Shaoling. Unfortunately, this time Manager Mu didn’t even pass on her message.
Shen Qiu didn’t know when to quit. If she failed once, she’d try a second time, going to Mu’s Clinic several times in a row. However, Mu Shaoling really wasn’t there, so her going was of no use.
Shen Qiu, however, didn’t think that way. She felt that Manager Mu was deliberately blocking her, and in the end, she even made a scene at Mu’s Clinic. It wasn’t until Manager Mu sent someone to call County Magistrate Shen that she was taken away.
Only then did County Magistrate Shen become aware of what Shen Qiu had been up to behind his back.
"Do you know that you might get eliminated not because you aren’t qualified enough?" County Magistrate Shen was so angry that he was practically going mad.
"Brother, why? If it’s not because of these factors, why can’t I participate in the selection?"
County Magistrate Shen became even angrier when it came to this point. He thought how lucky his sister hadn’t been selected; if she had, he wouldn’t need to be County Magistrate for even half a year.
"You still ask why? Tell me why. You’re just a little sister of a County Magistrate. How can you compete with the daughter of a Direct Supervisor? Although they aren’t a Prefect, their position is still higher than mine. And do you think they only have one Direct Supervisor? Do you know who the Direct Supervisor’s wife is? She’s a girl from a prestigious family in the Capital City."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiu realized how things had turned out. In fact, it was hard to say who was right or wrong in this matter. At first, the Direct Supervisor’s daughter had mocked her for coming from a poor place and for her poor skin care. Shen Qiu didn’t want to cause trouble, but after a couple of times, she couldn’t help it and began to retort, whether it was about their jewelry or their hairstyle.
After going back and forth, enmity grew between them. Moreover, Shen Qiu was slightly more attractive than the Direct Supervisor’s daughter, who then began to fear that Shen Qiu would surpass her and who knows how she would be treated then. Instead of letting that happen, she decided to nip it in the bud.
And so, Shen Qiu was eliminated like that.
