Chapter 272: Slap in the Face_1

The supposedly arrogant character of Jia Jing was no longer to be seen. He was pale, his head hanging low on his chest, as he was pressured to kneel down by the government employee in front of several people. Yet, he did not dare to utter a sound.

By his side was the village chief, his face full of desperation, who was forced to plaster a smile across his face as he continued to nod and bow towards the Hua County Official.

"Hua County Official, Lord Hwa! My son acted foolishly and disturbed the young lady. I failed to educate my son! It's my fault! If punishment is necessary, punish me!" he pleaded.

Hwa Diexiang did not even look at him. He took a sip from his wine cup in his hand and casually put it down.

He picked up his bamboo chopsticks and placed a piece of fish belly into Jun Ruoxue's bowl.

"Eat up! If the county magistrate registrar learned that I left you hungry, he would definitely skin me alive."
