Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 268 The Inescapable Shen Mansion

"What? There is such a thing?"

When Liu Hong returned home from the county government office, he was surprised when his wife, Mrs. Xu, mentioned that she met the magistrate's wife while having a wedding in Huaicheng, and that the magistrate's wife asked her about Xiao Fuyuan.

"What did she tell you, tell me in detail." Liu Hong said seriously.

The last time the magistrate wrote to him to ask him about the rumors about Xiao Fuyuan, he only wrote about the rumors, not entirely out of selfishness, but he vaguely felt that the magistrate had other plans for Xiao Fuyuan.

Liu Hong is generally regarded as a good county magistrate who is diligent and caring for the people. He didn't feel revenge because Lao Bai's family refused him to hire Xiao Fuyuan as his daughter-in-law. It will bring trouble to the Bai family.

It's better to keep a low profile.

"... She asked so much, I understand it. She wants me to be a middleman. She wants to protect the matchmaker for the Shen family's only son." Xu honestly told the magistrate's plan.

"You agreed?" Liu Hong asked with a frown.

"The master really doubts, am I that stupid? Last time, because I wanted to accept Xiao Yuanbao as my Liu family concubine, I didn't have to get into trouble at Lao Bai's house, and I also offended Mrs. Zhongjinghou's mansion. Who knows What is Madam Hou's intention, I pretended not to understand and fooled it, she will never use her man's official power to oppress me in public." Xu said.

"You did the right thing this time." Liu Hong nodded slightly.

Mrs. Xu gave Liu Hong a blank look, and said, "Master, don't think so badly of me. Didn't the stupid thing I did to the little girl of the Bai family before be because I planned for your stupid son? Our family and the Bai family are not married. I'm not so narrow-minded as to harm a little girl. Besides, I also know that you were commended by the higher-ups for the iron ore and the promotion of Yan millet. It's not all because of Xiao Yuanbao's credit. I won’t use Xiao Yuanbao as a bargaining chip to curry favor with Mrs. Zhifu after being praised for a year. Does she deserve it too?”

Liu Hong laughed lightly and said, "It's best for Madam to think so."

"And my lord, the magistrate's wife is not as good as me. I really want Xiao Yuanbao to marry Shu'er as his wife. Our family's Shu'er is a bit stupid, but he is not ugly and strong. I After inquiring, the magistrate's wife wanted to protect Xiao Yuanbao's matchmaker in Shen's house. I heard that the son's body is very weak. Yuan Bao's reputation as a blessed girl, let Xiao Yuan Bao go for joy." Mrs. Xu told Liu Hong the gossip she had inquired about during the banquet, and then said, "It is said that the son of that family is the same age as Xiao Yuan Bao, and he is weak. As soon as it is blown, it will fall down. I think that with such a body, let alone let Xiao Yuanbao go to celebrate, I am afraid that he will not live to be an adult."

Liu Hong listened for a long time without saying a word, and suddenly said as if remembering something: "The Shen residence you mentioned must belong to Shen Junshan's residence. After Shen Junshan's accidental death, under Mrs. Ru's care, the Shen residence not only did not collapse. Instead, he became the richest businessman in Huai City... But what my husband doesn't understand is that no matter how rich the Shen family is, it's just a businessman, what is the status of the magistrate's wife, how can she be driven to help the son of the Shen family to protect the matchmaker?"

This question made Xu startled, but she didn't think about it that much.

"Our lady magistrate is quite snobbish, maybe the Shen family will benefit her a lot." Xu said, and made another conjecture, "Money can turn ghosts around, and I think Xiao Yuanbao is just a Farm girl, you can do it with just a flick of your finger. A small girl can get a lot of money, and this business is a good deal."

Xu himself didn't think much of Lao Bai's family because he thought he had a low family background, so he wanted Xiao Fuyuan to be Liu Shu's concubine.Therefore, Xu's analysis of the prefect's wife's psychology is very logical.

Thinking that during the banquet, the prefect's wife was aloof, even bigger than the last time Mrs. Zhong Jinghou's house in Lao Bai's house, as usual, with her face up and the corners of her eyes scanning people, she didn't look straight at people at first.Originally, Mrs. Xu didn't intend to get close to her, but this time she dragged Mrs. Xu to talk non-stop.

Xu thought she had changed her sex, but she didn't expect that she wanted to use her as a middleman to beat Xiao Fuyuan.

She doesn't do it!
Anyway, offending the wife of the magistrate was not serious enough to offend Mrs. Zhongjinghou's mansion.

"The advantage is the advantage. I think it is far more than that. Besides, Xiao Yuanbao is already the owner of the village. It is bestowed by the emperor himself. The magistrate's wife will know." Liu Hong said, but he couldn't think of the specifics for a while.

"Then what should we do? Master, we have to tell Lao Bai's family about this." Xu said.

Mrs. Xu was still worried. It had nothing to do with her after telling what happened. If she was involved without telling what happened, she would think that she and the prefect's wife were in the same group.

"Ma'am, you are right. I will send someone to tell Lao Bai's family right away." Liu Hong called a servant at home and told him to go to Shenshu Village to deliver a message to Lao Bai's family.

Lao Bai's family received the message from Mr. Liu Hong just in the evening when Xiao Fuyuan left the private school.

The people in Lao Bai's family were not too flustered, Xiao Fuyuan's reputation would spread to Huai City sooner or later, panic was useless, it was better to deal with it calmly.

"Even if we are talking about being a good matchmaker, the parents of both men and women must agree to it. My sister-in-law is the owner of the township, and the emperor personally sealed it. The magistrate's wife will not care about this." Xie Chuntao has become a housekeeper since she was in charge The more calm.

Zhen nodded.

"That's right, what's more, is our aunt still the empress dowager?" You Jingui said, "Who dares to bully my aunt's natal family!"

Zhen Shi glanced at her, and You Jingui shut up aggrievedly.

She had never seen such a royal relative who was bullied so hard.

However, Lao Bai's family acted as if they didn't have such thick legs.

"Mother, is the magistrate as powerful as General Meng? If they rob my sister by force, I will let General Meng come forward." Bai Zhaomei said.

"Fifth, remember, General Meng is a great hero, you learned from him, you are not allowed to use the name of General Meng to make trouble." Zhen said to the fifth of the Bai family very seriously.

"Whoever dares to provoke my sister, I will fight with someone." Bai Dazhuang flexed his muscles.

Xiao Fuyuan saw that everyone looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy, so she pretended to be unintentional and said, "It's okay, I'm blessed."

Looking at Xiao Fuyuan's big ignorant eyes, the whole family couldn't help sighing, even if they were lucky, they didn't want you to go through such dirty things.

"Okay, Madam Zhifu just mentioned it to Mrs. Liu, but I don't know the details. Even if our family is a farming family, it's not easy to bully." The old lady Bai said.

"Mother is right." Bai Muban said, "We are not easy to mess with."

The old lady Bai and Mrs. Bai Muban looked at each other, and there was deep worry in the eyes of all three of them.Only the three of them knew and heard the turbulent waves in the Shen family's heart.

Could it be that Xiao Fuyuan, the true blood of the Shen family, can't get around the Shen family?
