The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

Lan Wangshu looked at Cheng Xi's curious eyes, smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then nodded slightly to show affirmation.

Cheng Xi's heart moved. After understanding Zui Fusheng's strength, she began to think about whether she could participate. She knew that her status in the Cheng family was not high and she was not valued by the family. The main reason was that she had almost no support and help from her mother's family. In the backyard of the family, there were all kinds of disgusting intrigues, and the degree of filth was unimaginable. It was not easy for her to survive in such a harsh environment. However, in terms of money, she did feel a little powerless.

So Cheng Xi asked softly: "Do you think I can do this? What skills do I need?"

Lan Wangshu smiled and replied, "Ms. Cheng is certainly qualified for the job. In fact, these tasks are nothing more than checking accounts, taking inventory of the warehouse, etc., which are not difficult. But...Ms. Cheng, I really don't dare to employ you easily!"

Cheng Xi couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Why don't you dare to use it?"

Lan Wangshu seemed a little uneasy, even a little flattered, and said, "This... This really makes me feel uneasy."

"The Cheng family is an aristocratic family, and they won't let their daughters show up in public. But if one day it's the Cheng family's turn, Miss Cheng Xi can come over. I'll make sure you can still live a life of good food, good housing, and beautiful clothes."

"Does the county lady mean that His Majesty will settle the score later?"

"Of course. Whether this matter succeeds or not, His Majesty must give me an explanation, because I am a county lady with a title and fiefdom chosen from the people, representing the common people. His Majesty will not let me suffer this injustice. Besides, the money His Majesty said he wanted to raise is military funds. What's the difference between making trouble at this time and rebellion? The noble family said it was because of personal grudges, but Miss Cheng, from your perspective, would you believe it?"

This question stumped Cheng Xi. She asked herself and realized that what he said was right. This was the truth. Even if the incident was really unintentional, it was definitely not the way His Majesty saw it.

In recent years, the aristocratic families have been fighting against the centralization of imperial power. Once they are caught because of this, they will lose both face and dignity.

"It depends on what the county lord wants to do."

"It's like this. A few days ago, all of Zui Fusheng's stuff was stolen. There was really nothing left, leaving me with a room full of empty shelves. It was pitiful to look at. My biggest challenge these days is to get some precious items, at least to show off and give His Majesty some results."

Cheng Xi wanted to find out what Lan Wangshu was thinking, so naturally he continued talking.

"It should be so. I wonder if the county lady has any solution?"

"Of course there are. Although the rich and powerful are two different circles and look down on each other, these two types of people have one thing in common."

"What are the characteristics?"

Lan Wangshu's smile was meaningful, with a hint of conspiracy in it. Cheng Xi had no choice but to be forced to be a supporting actor.

Lai Qian'er was lying in Lan Wangshu's consciousness, and he was worried about Cheng Xi. This girl was really something. She was sold and still counting money. The host was really not a good person and had been fooling others.
