Upon entering the front hall, Yue Wei immediately began apologizing to County Magistrate Fu with his wife and child. In front of their in-laws, he scolded his son vehemently. Of course, scolding his wife was out of the question, even though he himself wanted to do so badly, but that had to be done in private. In front of his son and outsiders, he still had to give his wife some face.
County Magistrate Fu did not say whether he accepted the apology or not but just kept sighing. After glancing at Yue Dalang and then his wife, he sighed again, a look of difficulty on his face.
Eventually, he simply took Yue Wei's hand and said, "In-law, how about we talk in the study instead?"
Mrs. Fu also took the opportunity to take hold of Old Madam Yue, and with a feigned smile said, "Then, Mother-in-law, please let me entertain you. Let the master go ahead."
Yue Wei felt something was strange, so he followed County Magistrate Fu to the study.
