"You're lucky that I even looked twice at those two little maids by your side, and you dare show me disdain? What do you think you are, daring to invoke the name of the Magistrate? Even I would not dare to do so."
The leader sneered at Madam Zhou once more.
"Brothers, since this old woman is so ungrateful, show her what she's asking for."
He glanced sideways at his two companions, who immediately understood and stepped forward to drag Madam Zhou out from between her two maids.
The two maids, fearing they would be beaten to death upon their return for failing to protect Madam Zhou, tried to snatch her back, but how could they compete with two young men? They were pushed aside in an instant.
