Moreover, she had long felt that there was something wrong with that man and Mrs. Sheng, and she secretly thought about it, and she was guessed right.

Now it seems that if there is nothing between them, no one will believe it.

It's just that the matter between Mrs. Sheng and the man has nothing to do with her, Su Xiyun. The real purpose of her coming here is for Magistrate Zhou.

"Ma'am, the women have something to ask, I wonder if you can agree, Ma'am."

Su Xiyun knelt directly in front of Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng was tearful, her complexion changed from good to bad, and she didn't know whether she was happy or unhappy.

Seeing Su Xiyun knelt down, she hurriedly said, "If you have something to say, if I can help you, I will."

"Thank you Ma'am."

Su Xiyun kowtowed and talked about important matters.

She didn't directly say that County Magistrate Zhou asked for no money from the Yamen in Nongchang County. She only said that the task was sent from above to transfer the villagers of Donglanggou and other nearby villages to other places. The place had already been selected, but But there is no money to build houses for the people.

After hearing this, Mrs. Sheng asked: "Although I don't care about the political affairs of the front courtyard, I have also heard about it. It is the government's decision to let the people move to live elsewhere, so there is no reason for the people to pay for it. houses, but if the town government doesn’t have enough money, they can apply for funding from the county.”

"Ah? Is that so?"

Su Xiyun pretended to be surprised: "Can I still go to the county to ask for money? But the county government asked us to pay for the house. The county magistrate Zhou took office not long ago, and the money in his hand has already contributed a lot. What about building bridges? Ah, the construction of the dam, the erection of the memorial archway, and the expansion of the academy were all paid for by County Magistrate Zhou himself, and he really has no money for this mass migration of the people.”

She said all this in one breath, and added: "Actually, I am somewhat distantly related to Magistrate Zhou. As an elder, I really can't stand it, so I came to ask you without telling him."

Mrs. Sheng winked at Ji Qing, and Ji Qing went out and closed the door behind her.

Su Xiyun was a little surprised by Mrs. Sheng's actions.

This girl named Ji Qing is Mrs. Sheng's confidant who was married as a dowry. She didn't evade when they were talking about roses just now, why is she avoiding talking about money now?

"When you delivered the baby in Qingyan Pavilion, you must have heard a lot of gossip over there. I also know what your purpose is for coming here, but after all, it is not up to me, a cabinet woman, to make decisions about appropriating funds. .”

"Besides, the city lord loves Mrs. Wang so much, and Wen Ziqian, the magistrate of Nongchang County, is also a relative of Mrs. Wang. It must be Mrs. Wang's reason why Wen Ziqian blatantly allocated the relief funds from the villa."

Su Xiyun asked: "Ma'am, even you know that the prefect of Wen is ignorant of money, don't you know that City Lord Mo doesn't know? If a woman speaks presumptuously, no matter how affectionate the Lord Mo and Madam Wang are, how can they be against the thousands of people in Jinyu Town?" What about life?"

Mrs. Sheng only smiled slightly when she heard the words: "In his heart, Mrs. Wang is better than tens of thousands of people in the world."

He doesn't care about other people's lives, he only loves Wang Wan'er and their children.

Because of this, Wen Ziqian ran rampant in Nongchang County, stealing, raping, cheating and doing all sorts of crimes, and the people often complained.

Mrs. Sheng brushed the hair around her ears, lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment.

When I looked up again, I changed the subject directly: "Boss Su, I like the clothes styles in your store very much. I have asked Ji Qing to transcribe the body sizes of all the maids in the villa, and I will bring you the list when the time comes. From now on, all the work uniforms of the maids in our villa will be ordered from your house."

Su Xiyun's eyes lit up when he heard these words, he was both surprised and happy, and quickly stood up, thanking him non-stop.

However, there is still a saying: If you don’t have anything to show gallantry, you can either rape or steal.

Mrs. Sheng seemed to have something to say.

Su Xiyun persuaded Mrs. Sheng in the same tone as if she were persuading a little sister: "Your Madam, you must speak up when you have something to say. It's uncomfortable to hold back in your heart. When I was at home, I often taught the children to speak up. If you let them guess what's on their minds , will lose a lot of things that shouldn't be lost, and regret it."

Madam Sheng sighed, as if making some important decision, she said to Su Xiyun: "Let's settle for the next best thing, I'll give you some money, and after you go back, help County Magistrate Zhou move all the people to a new place, but One thing, don't easily reveal the source of the money to others, can you do it?"

Su Xiyun frowned and asked: "But, why is that? Da Furen, you don't have to cover up for Wen Ziqian like this, let alone he made a mistake first, as long as this matter is big enough, even if City Lord Mo favors Madam Wang again , can he not give Wen Ziqian a small punishment and a big reprimand?"

"Small punishment and big commandment? You can."

Mrs. Sheng only shook her head after hearing this.

"You also said just now that I, a person who can't get into the eyes of the city lord, knows about Wen Ziqian. How can they not know? It's just that they pretended to be confused and acquiesced in private."

"To be honest, I'm not doing this purely for those common people. I'm not one of the common people. The reason why I stop you here is because of selfishness."

Mrs. Sheng told Su Xiyun that there was a distinguished guest in the villa today, and that distinguished guest was someone who would even kneel down to pay homage to the old city lord.

Whether Wen Ziqian's matter is big or small, he can also implicate many people.

Just a few random sentences, those who don't have steel bones will be recruited.

When the time comes, Wen Ziqian, Mrs. Wang, City Lord Mo...everyone who is involved in this matter will not be able to escape.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and Jinyue City cannot be without a city owner for a day.

"Ma'am, you have a deep affection for City Lord Mo and his wife, which is really enviable."

Su Xiyun sighed sincerely, but she understood it better than anyone else.

Mrs. Sheng doesn't seem to like City Lord Mo.

When she heard the roses, there was light in her eyes, but when it came to City Lord Mo, that kind of emotion was like guarding an important thing, it was a responsibility, a task, and no emotion.

late at night.

When Su Xiyun came out of Qingquyuan, he took the initiative to remove the "trap" on the clothes.

She didn't know that Mrs. Sheng was such a reasonable person. She used a stupid method to get Mrs. Sheng's attention.

Fortunately, Mrs. Sheng is not Mrs. Wang. Not only is she not difficult to deal with, she is also very approachable.

Su Xiyun and the others stayed in the villa overnight.

He was sent back to Jinyu Town the next day.

The Lord of Mo City rewarded 100 taels of silver, but Su Xiyun didn't ask for a penny, and directly let Ding Yao and Granny Sun split it up.

Such a white piece of silver was placed on the table, and Qin Lian'er looked directly at it.

"Wow! That's a lot of money!"

Su Xiyun stood by and secretly laughed at her daughter who had never seen the world.

Is a mere 100 taels too much?Their family's money is much more than that.

Grandma Sun was embarrassed to take money, so she took a silver coin, which was about a dozen taels.

Su Xiyun saw it, so she couldn't express any opinion. She looked at Ding Yao, and at the same time, Ding Yao also looked at her.

The two exchanged a glance.

Ding Yao nodded slightly, picked up the nearest silver nugget and put it in her pocket, then pushed the remaining five or sixty taels in front of Grandma Sun.

Grandma Sun was startled: "Oh, what are you doing?"

Ding Yao smiled and said, "Aunt Sun, this is our pharmacy's business. In fact, Aunt Su didn't explain to you before that in any business of delivering babies, the happy money you get is three or seven cents. You seven, I three , so the money on the table is your commission."

"Ah? That's right, but...the money is too much. I've never seen so much money in my life. This, this, this...how can I spend it..."

Grandma Sun's eyes were shining brightly reflected by the silver.

But she looked like she had never seen money, and no one present would laugh at her.

It is difficult for everyone to get over.

Back when the Qin family made their first pot of gold by raising chickens, their reaction was much more exaggerated than Grandma Sun's!

Su Xiyun wanted to keep Mrs. Sun at home for dinner, but Mrs. Sun said she wanted to go back to see the child.

Before leaving, Mrs. Sun mysteriously called Su Xiyun into the room, took a few pieces of silver, and put them in Su Xiyun's hand.

"This is the money I borrowed from you at the time. I didn't expect to pay it back so soon. All this is really like a dream."

The burden of silver was heavy, and Mrs. Sun hadn't recovered from the excitement this morning. When she saw the bulging burden, she looked as if she was drunk, and her face flushed.
