She sneered, “Then who are you? With such big words, could it be that you are a relative of the royal family? But that’s strange, which royal relative would bow down to a butler? I’m afraid you are also a poor country bumpkin!”
“You!” The steward was extremely angry.
“What a sharp-tongued girl!” Butler Wang said with a strange tone, “Do you know who I am? I am the butler of the Huang Residence. Be sensible and leave the cow behind. Otherwise, if you offend our Huang Residence, you will not be able to bear the consequences!”
Jian Qingqing also imitated his sarcastic tone. “Oh, so it is the Huang Residence. Is it the emperor’s in-laws? However, with such a rich and noble identity, why would you fight with me for a cow? I am afraid that you have gone mad from poverty, right?”
Butler Wang was furious. “Men, take this wretched girl down for me!”
Jian Qingqing was not afraid of him. She reached into her pocket and took out a dagger from the Spatial Kitchen. “Come on! Let’s see who dies faster today!”
The servants who had followed Butler Wang were all unarmed. Seeing her take out her weapon, they were afraid to step forward.
Butler Wang was exasperated. “There are so many of you! What are you afraid of! Hurry up and catch her!”
At this moment, Manager Zhang and Uncle Ox, who had been chatting in the backyard, hurried over.
“Butler Wang, I sold this cow to her. If you want the cow, please allow me to take it back for you!”
“Yes, Master Wang. This girl is my granddaughter. She’s not sensible. Please don’t lower yourself to her level. We’ll give this cow to you.”
The Huang Family was a big family in Shifeng County. They were all commoners without power and influence. They could not win against others, so they could only give up money to survive.
Jian Qingqing could not bear to see them bow and scrape like this. Seeing that they were forced to bow to such a despicable person because of her, she was so angry that her eyes were red. She went forward and pulled them to the side.
Uncle Ox and Manager Zhang could not dissuade her, so they could only follow her strength and stand up.
The butler who followed behind Butler Wang had never been on good terms with Manager Zhang. It was rare to see him so humble, they could not help but laugh strangely. “Oh, Manager Zhang, this really tells us one thing. Never make friends with poor country bumpkins. Those people have cheap lives and are easy to offend. They don’t even know when they get themselves in trouble!”
Jian Qingqing could not be bothered with such a villain. She glared fiercely at Butler Wang. She said coldly, “I will never let you have my cow. If you dare to snatch it, try it. Your Huang family doesn’t authority in Shifeng County. If you dare to snatch it, I dare to report it to the officials. Let’s see if the County Magistrate is on your side or mine!”
After saying that, she pulled Uncle Ox and led him away.
Butler Wang and the others were stunned by her words. They did not dare to stop her for a moment and just let her go.
If it was the previous county magistrate, Butler Wang would definitely snatch it. Even if he killed this little girl, nothing would happen. But now, Shifeng County was clearly aware that County Magistrate Ming was ruthless. He had killed the largest scholar clan in Shifeng County to establish his authority, if he committed a crime in his hands, he would definitely not be let off lightly.
In a flustered mood, he kicked the lackey butler and said sinisterly, “Go, find out what identity that little girl has!”
The butler suppressed the resentment in his heart and said meekly, “Yes.”
After leaving the cattle market, Jian Qingqing and the others continued to walk further. They only stopped when they walked out of this street.
Manger Zhang shook his head and disagreed, “Miss Jian, you were too impulsive just now. The Huang family is a big force in Shifeng County. They will not let you off.”
