Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 103 The Second Son of the Prefect's Family

Lu Qingqing asked softly:

"Zixuan,"

Do you know how to notify your family?

Or where in Tongzhou do you live?

We'll take you home.

Liu Zixuan replied:

"Sister, there's no need to go to such trouble."

You can simply take me to the county magistrate.

My father and Magistrate Li Xiuming were close friends.

Lu Qingqing suddenly realized:

"Oh, I see."

Are you hungry now?

Should we eat something first before we go?

Liu Zixuan shook his head:

"Sister, I'm not hungry."

Let's hurry up and go, I'm afraid Dad will worry if he can't find me.

I want to see my father as soon as possible.

Lu Qingqing gently patted his head with affection:

"Alright, let's pack up and leave now."

Lu Qingqing said to Lin Yunlan:

"Yunlan, go and prepare the oxcart."

I'll help Zixuan pack, and we'll leave right away.

Lin Yunlan responded:

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Lu Qingqing turned around and said gently to Liu Zixuan:

"Zixuan, let me get you a coat to put on."

To prevent him from catching a cold on the way and then developing a fever.

Liu Zixuan nodded obediently:

"Thank you sister."

As Lu Qingqing picked up the clothes,

Wang Xiuxiu also brought some food over.

Said:

"These are for the children to eat on the way."

Lu Qingqing gratefully accepted it:

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Wang Xiuxiu smiled and said:

"Go quickly, don't delay."

Lu Qingqing draped the clothes over Liu Zixuan's shoulders.

Then she put the food that Wang Xiuxiu had brought into the package.

at this time,

Lin Yunlan urged from outside:

"Qingqing, are you all ready?"

Lu Qingqing replied:

"Okay, coming right away."

She led Liu Zixuan out of the house.

They boarded the oxcart and hurriedly set off.

Lu Qingqing led Liu Zixuan to the county government office.

When the magistrate saw that it was Lu Qingqing who had arrived,

He immediately went to greet her happily.

"Madam Lu, what brings you here?"

You've done a great job this time.

The Emperor's bestowal of honors has not yet been issued!

Lu Qingqing smiled and said:

"Your Excellency, Magistrate,"

I am not here today for rewards or honors.

Instead, I found a child.

The child said he was from Tongzhou City.

His father also knows you.

The county magistrate was slightly taken aback.

His gaze fell on Liu Zixuan:

"Child, what is your name?"

What is your father's name?

Liu Zixuan answered obediently:

"My name is Liu Zixuan, and my father's name is Liu Shijie."

Upon hearing the child's father's name, the county magistrate...

Why does that sound so familiar?

Suddenly, my mind clicked, and I asked again in surprise:

"Child, say your name again?"

Liu Zixuan repeated it again:

"My name is Liu Zixuan, and my father is Liu Shijie."

The magistrate asked in surprise:

"You...you can't be the second son of the prefect of Tongzhou, can you?"

Liu Zixuan nodded:

"Exactly."

The magistrate's expression instantly turned tense.

He quickly said:

"This is terrible! Someone come here!"

Go quickly and prepare the brush and ink.

I must immediately write to Prefect Liu to inform him of this matter.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan were also surprised when they heard this.

They never expected this.

The person they found turned out to be the young master of the prefect's family.

Lu Qingqing couldn't help but say:

"This is really unexpected."

Lin Yunlan also sighed:

"Yes, who would have thought this child has such a background?"

at this time,

The servants in the county government office hurriedly prepared writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

The atmosphere was tense and busy.

Lu Qingqing looked at Liu Zixuan,

His eyes were full of concern:

"Young Master Zixuan,"

You'll be able to see your family soon.

A hint of anticipation and joy appeared on Liu Zixuan's face:

"Thank you, sister and brother."

Lin Yunlan smiled憨厚ly:

"Young master, you're too kind."

at this time,

The county magistrate has already begun writing furiously.

This good news should be conveyed to the prefect as soon as possible.

After sending the letter,

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan watched as the child finally found his family.

We were about to go back.

Lu Qingqing said:

"Your Excellency, Magistrate,"

The child has been safely delivered to you.

We should go back too.

Lin Yunlan echoed:

Yes, the child can find his/her family.

My husband and I are relieved now.

But neither the county magistrate nor Liu Zixuan would let them go back.

The magistrate quickly said:

"Wait a moment, Madam Lu, Young Master Lin..."

Please stay a little longer.

I must make sure the Prefect knows about this achievement.

"You're the one who came up with the method of double-cropping rice!"

Liu Zixuan also tugged at Lu Qingqing's sleeve.

With a sincere expression:

"Sister, don't go."

I must let my father know that you saved me.

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan exchanged a glance.

He looked hesitant.

The magistrate then advised:

"Please stay here, there's no rush."

Seeing that the county magistrate was trying to persuade them to stay,

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan had no choice but to wait at the county government office.

period,

The county magistrate prepared a feast for them.

They even had Liu Zixuan change into new clothes.

The group sat around the table, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Lu Qingqing said somewhat shyly:

"Your Excellency, you are too kind."

"I've troubled you again."

The magistrate smiled and said:

"Madam Lu, you're being too polite by saying that."

That's how it should be.

You are now a great hero to us.

Lu Qingqing was so embarrassed by the praise that she became shy.

"Sir, you flatter me."

The magistrate waved his hand and said seriously:

"Madam Lu, this is by no means an overstatement."

If that method of double-cropping rice could be widely adopted...

But it's a great thing that benefits the local people.

Lu Qingqing lowered her head slightly and said softly:

"It is my honor to be able to do something for my fellow villagers."

At this moment, Liu Zixuan, who had changed his clothes, ran over.

He said excitedly:

"Sister, sister, do I look good in my new clothes?"

Lu Qingqing looked at the completely transformed Liu Zixuan,

He answered with a smile:

"He looks so handsome, young master Zixuan is becoming more and more energetic."

Liu Zixuan smiled happily when he was praised for his good looks.

Lu Qingqing told Liu Zixuan to sit down quickly and said:

"Young Master Zixuan, please sit down and have something to eat."

Liu Zixuan sat down obediently.

He picked up his chopsticks, but didn't rush to eat.

Instead, he looked at Lu Qingqing and said:

"Sister, you should eat too."

Lu Qingqing smiled and nodded.

She picked up a piece of pastry and put it in Liu Zixuan's bowl.

Said:

"Okay, let's eat together."

The county magistrate watched this heartwarming scene.

He was also filled with joy and said:

"Please eat more, don't be shy."

"Come, Young Master Lin, let's have a drink."

Lin Yunlan quickly picked up his wine glass and said:

"Sir, you're too kind."

The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Lu Qingqing kept putting food on Liu Zixuan's plate.

Liu Zixuan also ate happily.

"Young Master Zixuan, eat more meat."

"May you recover faster."

Lu Qingqing said gently.

Liu Zixuan, with food in his mouth, mumbled a reply:

"Thank you, sister. I'll eat it all."

at this time,

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside.

A yamen runner rushed in to report:

"My lord, the prefect has arrived!"

Everyone in the room was startled and immediately stood up.
