" I am asking you, why did the county magistrate ask you to bring me here?" Yu Qun asked for the millionth time. He was sure that nothing good was going to come out of this, he had long heard about how Su Wan had almost killed a guard who tried to upset her.

If a woman like her was calling him, he did not think that there was anything good waiting for him. Most probably she found some dirt on him, was it about him accepting bribes from the Lai family to suppress the information on Elder master Lai six years ago or was it the fact that he used his publishing house to host a few feasts?

Or was it something else?

Yu Qun could not help but start overthinking, what if something was going on and he had no idea about it? He needed to be prepared with a countermeasure! But what was the reason for this summon?

" And I have told you many times already that the county magistrate just wants to talk to you," replied Yun Zhao as he turned his head and looked at Yu Qun who was sweating buckets of cold sweat. " This is why told you not to get close with the Lai family. But you did not listen, now you need to face the consequences of your actions."

In the past, Yun Zhao had warned Yu Qun to keep a distance from the Lai family many times. But the latter did not listen, in fact, he thought that with the Lai family's status, no one was going to go against them. Now Su Wan was here and she had the authority to not only make decisions without consulting the officials but she could also hand the death penalty to anyone who did something wrong.

Yu Qun pursed his lips as he stubbornly said, " I did not know that there would be a day when the Lai family would suffer like this and I am not an official Lord Yun. I am a commoner with a publishing house under my name, I cannot fight those who have more power when compared to me.

Isn't it better to join hands with those who have the power and live a comfortable life than fight with them and suffer all your life?"

Hearing his words Yun Zhao did not say anything. It wasn't that he did not want to refute but he knew that all of those who did not have the power to go against the rich, thought the same thing after all, they were mere commoners why would they try to go against someone who could possibly ruin them?

" You don't have to worry, the county magistrate is not an unreasonable woman she called you because there is something that she wants to discuss with you," Yun Zhao told Yu Qun the truth but the latter did not believe him. He was the owner of a small publishing house, for what reason would the county magistrate call him? It was simply a lie!

Of course, Yun Zhao knew that Yu Qun did not believe him but he did not say anything further. He knew that with how cautious Yu Qun was he was not going to believe him in fact he might not even agree with Su Wan when she would tell him what she wanted to do.

The two of them arrived at Su Wan's house where the maid brought them to the living hall where Su Wan was already waiting for the two to arrive.

" Lord Yun, you are here?" Su Wan said as she finished feeding and wiping her son. She neatly tucked little Heng into his warm clothes and then turned to hand him to Lin Yan who took his son and brought him inside.

Lord Yun nodded as he sat down on the couch with Yu Qun who looked at Su Wan with a wary look in his eyes. He was so suspicious that even when he tried to hide it, he could not causing Su Wan's lips to twist a little. Though she understood why he was a bit suspicious he was not even hiding it!

" Ahem," she cleared her throat causing Yu Qun to snap out of his thoughts. He finally realized that he was sitting in the house of the county magistrate and yet he did not greet her!

Yu Qun immediately lowered his back as he bowed in greeting. " Good to see you, county magistrate Su!"

" There is no need for you to be so stiff," Su Wan said to the man who was acting jerkily. She smiled at him politely and then said, " Sit down there is something that I want to talk to you about."

When Yu Qun heard her words, he gulped in nervousness. Sure enough, he was caught. The county magistrate must have found out about his corrupt activities and thus she asked him to come here. Now what was he supposed to do?

" Master Yun, I called you here because I want to discuss publishing a few books with you. Is that okay with you?" Su Wan went straight to the point when she saw that Yu Qun was acting jumpy.

Yu Qun was prepared to hear a bunch of things but he was not prepared to hear about publishing books. He blinked his eyes and then looked at Su Wan before saying," I … I can help with that, I mean I do have a publishing house. No, what I meant was that I need to see the script first."

Because he was troubled by his past actions, Yu Qun almost forgot how to act like an honourable owner of a publishing house. Good thing that he got his senses in time or else Su Wan would have started doubting his skills.

" Sure," Su Wan nodded as she turned to a maid and asked her to bring the script from her room and hand it to Yu Qun.

The maid left with a nod before she returned with the two scripts and handed it to Yu Qun who took it and started to read. However as soon as he finished reading the second script, his eyebrows scrunched up and he said with a frown, " What is this?"
