I transmigrated into a farming novel and started with a campervan.

Wang Yi went to the city early the next morning and went directly to the county government office.

The doorman, having been notified, did not go out to announce the news as eagerly as usual.

Wang Yiyi retorted without any politeness: "General Xie specifically said he wanted to invite the county magistrate to dinner, and you dare to stop him? Are you tired of living?"

The gatekeeper, upon hearing this, couldn't immediately tell if it was true or false, but fearing that it might cause a delay, he thought for a moment and then went in to inform them.

Before long, they respectfully invited Wang Yiyi inside.

Magistrate Li had clearly just woken up and was still dressed in his everyday clothes. "I didn't know Boss Wang was coming. I've already taught those ignorant servants a lesson."

Wang Yi deliberately put on a stern face and adopted a firm attitude: "General Xie is hosting a banquet at the Silver Moon Pavilion today. I urge you, sir, to grace us with your presence."

Magistrate Li dared not refuse and readily agreed.

Wang Yiyi didn't waste any words and walked away with an arrogant expression.

Magistrate Li looked at Wang Yiyi's figure, somewhat puzzled.

General Xie didn't even show up when Wang Yi was in jail, so why is he inviting him to dinner now?

Was he being tested before?

The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became, and finally, with a face full of anger, he went to find Li Xian'er.

Li Xian'er had just gotten up when she discovered that her beautiful hair was gone. She was crying and screaming when Magistrate Li came in and slapped her without saying a word.

"You rebellious daughter! I told you not to mess with the Wang family, but you insisted on going anyway. You're really going to get your whole family killed this time!"

Li Xian'er was stunned by the sudden slap. Looking at Magistrate Li, she said with a wronged expression, "Father, why did you hit me?"

Magistrate Li then noticed something was wrong with his daughter's hair and asked in alarm, "Daughter, what's wrong with your hair?"

Li Xian'er cried even louder: "I don't know either. I woke up one morning and all my hair was gone. How am I supposed to face people now?"

Magistrate Li roared at his servants, "How did you serve us?"

The servants knelt down, begging for mercy.

They didn't know why, but they slept very soundly last night and woke up like this.

One of the bolder people whispered, "I've heard a legend about a 'Night-Shaving Ghost' who shaves the heads of those who have done wrong in their dreams."

Li Xian'er kicked him immediately: "Are you saying I did something wrong?"

The maid begged for mercy frantically, daring not to say another word.

Magistrate Li listened attentively and waved his hand to dismiss his servants.

"Xian'er, you need to change your temperament."

Li Xian'er persisted, "Father, how can I face people after this? This is entirely that wretched woman from the Wang family's fault. Why am I the one who's bald?"

Looking at the handprint on his daughter's face and her tear-streaked cheeks, Magistrate Li felt a pang of heartache and softened his voice: "I will investigate the matter of your hair. Now, there is something I need to discuss. General Xie wants to invite me to dinner today."

Li Xian'er, forgetting all about her hair, exclaimed with delight, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Magistrate Li's face darkened: "If General Xie had sent someone else to invite him, I would have thought it was a good thing. But he specifically sent Wang Yiyi. What does that mean?"

Unlike Magistrate Li, Li Xian'er was not anxious. "Father, you are worrying too much. If General Xie really wanted to do something to you, why would he invite you to dinner? He probably knows that his daughter is going to marry into the governor's family and is trying to curry favor with you."

Magistrate Li thought it made sense. Although the Xie family had a strong foundation, they were ultimately just military officers. The governor was different; he had the support of the current prime minister.

With this in mind, he felt more confident: "You should also put some effort into this marriage. After you get married, have the governor transfer me to a minor official position near the capital, and then I won't have to worry about the Xie family anymore."

Seeing his daughter's bald head, he sighed again. It seemed the marriage would have to be postponed again.

He composed himself and went to the Silver Moon Pavilion anyway.

Since learning about the assassination attempt, Xie Yu had been tossing and turning all night and set off early in the morning.

He decided he still needed to make things clear to Wang Yiyi that this matter had nothing to do with him.

As soon as he pushed open the door, his smile froze.

I suddenly realized how silly it was that I had changed into a new outfit specifically for this meal.

Besides Wang Yiyi, Magistrate Li was also in the room.

Before he could ask, Wang Yiyi greeted him warmly: "You've arrived! Lord Li and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

His tone was warm, completely different from yesterday.

As he spoke, he leaned closer, winked at Xie Yu, and whispered, "Please cooperate, General Xie."

Despite his reluctance, Xie Yu stepped forward and greeted Magistrate Li: "Lord Li."

Seeing the two men's expressions, Magistrate Li noticed cold sweat beading on his forehead.

These two are clearly very familiar with each other; his daughter is really going to get him into serious trouble this time.

He forced a smile: "Greetings, Young General Xie."

Wang Yi pretended not to see Magistrate Li's apprehensive expression and called the shopkeeper to serve the dishes.

"Lord Li, I recently acquired a shop, and it will be opening in a few days. You must come and support me then." Wang Yiyi smiled and placed a piece of Silver Moon Pavilion's signature dish on Magistrate Li's plate.

"Of course." Magistrate Li glanced at Xie Yu and quickly agreed.

Wang Yiyi placed another piece of food on Xie Yu's plate: "If General Xie has time, please come and support us."

Xie Yu gave a faint "hmm" as a nod of agreement.

Having achieved her goal, Wang Yiyi dropped her overly obsequious manner, only occasionally greeting the two of them.

Magistrate Li found the food tasteless and unpalatable; he had never found the food at Yinyuelou so unpalatable.

Xie Yu ate happily, but when he saw that Wang Yiyi had almost finished eating, he slowly spoke up: "Lord Li has truly raised a fine daughter."

Magistrate Li wished he could kneel on the ground right then and there, for General Xie had eventually found out what his daughter had done.

"General, you flatter me."

Xie Yu hummed in response, but didn't say anything more.

Wang Yiyi secretly rolled her eyes. She thought Xie Yu would teach Li Xian'er a lesson for her, but he just said a few words.

He was in the military camp and couldn't control Magistrate Li.

She quickly replied, "Miss Li is so innocent and charming; I think she's wonderful too."

She was telling Magistrate Li that she knew what Li Xian'er had done, and that General Xie also knew.

Magistrate Li understood and wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead: "You two can be friends from now on. Xian'er has always said that Boss Wang is a heroine at such a young age."

Xie Yu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wang Yiyi pretending to be grateful even though she was clearly seething with hatred.

He coughed lightly, interrupting Magistrate Li: "There's no need for friends, lest we repeat what happened a few days ago."

This is a designer brand.

Magistrate Li knelt down with a thud: "I will certainly discipline my daughter in the future."

Xie Yu calmly helped the man up, saying, "What are you doing, Lord Li? You're making me feel so bad." He then winked at Wang Yiyi.

Magistrate Li understood, and quickly took out a silver note from his pocket, saying to Wang Yi, "I apologize on behalf of my daughter; this is compensation."
