Xiangyang City had temporarily calmed down.
Lizheng Hall closed its doors, and whether by coincidence or because the silver from the Ye Family had taken effect, in the following two or three days, no commoners came to Lizheng Hall or the Ye Family's entrance to cause trouble.
The Ye Family, for their part, had settled down; however, at this moment, Tong Zhiyang, the Magistrate of Xiangyang, encountered trouble.
"What, Madam and the young master have disappeared?" Tong Zhiyang slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
He and his wife from his household, Madam Tong, appeared to "respect each other like guests," but everyone in Xiangyang knew he was henpecked. Tong Zhiyang was more aware that without his wife's maternal family's promotion, he likely wouldn't have become the magistrate. Thus, for many years, Tong Zhiyang dared not disobey his wife's orders.
