After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Jiang Xun's pleading made many people soften their hearts. After all, he was just an eight-year-old child. Who hasn't made mistakes?

But this is also Shen Nanzhi's family affair. For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Nanzhi, to see what she would do.

Shen Nanzhi had a smile on his lips. This kid was really good at moral blackmail. If he didn't forgive him in front of everyone, he would be known as a cruel person.

"What are you talking about, kid? I have never hated you. I only hate myself for being incompetent. I adopted you but couldn't give you a good life. I have always felt bad.

But since you stay in the Jiang family and are included in the family tree, you are the children of the Jiang family, so you should be filial to your father and elders and be good children.

You came to see me today and displeased the elders of the Jiang family. I'm afraid they will vent their anger on you. Go back early and don't come to see me in the future. I don't want you to live a bad life. No matter how uncomfortable I am, I will endure it. It's all for your good."

Jiang Xun: “…”

She was a better actress than me, and I almost believed her lies.

Both of them were all smiles and their acting was superb.

"You should go back quickly, and don't let the Jiang family cause us trouble, misunderstanding that Nan Zhi is trying to steal the child from his family."

Shen Qingshan waved his hand and asked someone to send Jiang Xun away. It was not a big deal.

The crowd dispersed, and Shen Qingshan asked her: "What are your plans for this child?"

"Uncle, you can't believe a word this kid says. Isn't it enough that I've suffered once? Can I fall into the same trap again?

But I want to know, who cares about me so much? Let him investigate. "

Shen Huai'en: "I'll go and ask around."

"No need, I have a better candidate who can be a long-term insider. Jiang Chen has been at large for so long, it's time to bury him.

People like them pop up from time to time to disgust me, and I am fed up with it.”

There was a ruthless look in Shen Nanzhi's eyes. Since they were determined to die, just grant their wish.

Shen Huai'en felt better. It was better to have peace and quiet after her ex-husband died. It really affected her mood when he popped up from time to time.

"Be careful."

Shen Nanzhi took advantage of the lunch break when everyone was resting and quietly went to the Jiang family. She found a big tree to hide under, waiting for the person she was looking for to show up.

Soon, Jiang Ke walked out of the woodshed, went all the way to the back mountain, dug out some food, washed it by the river, and ate it slowly.

Shen Nanzhi followed behind him and recognized that thing, which turned out to be yam. This thing is rich in nutrients, and although it doesn't taste very good when eaten raw, it can fill the stomach.

Yam eggs can be eaten directly, but they were all picked by the children. Fortunately, they didn’t know that the roots underneath were the real good stuff, otherwise Jiang Ke would not have had the chance to eat them secretly.

"Jiang Ke."

Shen Nanzhi called out, and Jiang Ke's body stiffened. He turned back in disbelief, and his eyes instantly filled with tears: "Mother, is that you?"

Shen Nanzhi's eyes were cold: "I am no longer your mother, don't call me that. If you have done something, you have to pay the price. Don't say you are young, that's not a reason to forgive you."

Jiang Ke lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, washed his face, and asked solemnly: "Sister Shen, do you have something to talk to me about?"

He had thought about it countless times during this period. He and his mother could never go back to the way they were before. If he hadn't poisoned her, things could still be salvaged. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in the world.

Even if Jiang Ke regretted countless times and regretted it to his heart's content, it was useless.

Shen Nanzhi sat down cross-legged and said, "You betrayed me and owe me a life. I need you to help me keep an eye on Jiang Xun and the Jiang family. They have been restless recently."

Jiang Ke didn't ask why, but nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will. How can I contact you if there is any news?"

"If it's an emergency, go to the top of the mountain and light a bonfire. I'll come find you. If it's nothing else, I'll come find you once every three days. You do what I tell you to do."

"What about the future? Do you want all the Jiang family members to die?"

Speaking of death, the child's eyes showed no fluctuation, as if it was a very common thing. Shen Nanzhi was a little frightened. This was probably a born bad kid, smart but cold-blooded.

"No, I just want the Jiang family to leave here and stop getting in my way. I'm not so cold-blooded as to kill people at will. I'm a law-abiding citizen and I don't do anything illegal."

Jiang Ke said sarcastically: "How can you live without breaking the law? Sister Shen, you are so naive. I'm going back, you go."

Jiang Ke didn't want to stay with her, fearing that he would want to cry and didn't want to be looked down upon by her.

Let him be a bad boy, he doesn’t mind being a bad boy, as long as he can survive.

Shen Nanzhi was in mixed feelings. Children were really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, they were not her biological children, so she was willing to give them up. If they were her biological children, wouldn't she be worried to death?

Shen Nanzhi doesn't have to worry about the Jiang family's affairs because Jiang Ke, the little traitor, is watching over them. The Jiang family is just a bunch of toads. Apart from being disgusting, they don't have the ability to hurt themselves.

Yang Lingzhao also waited for his father, the prefect Yang Xu, who was the highest-ranking official in the village.

In order to wait for him, County Magistrate Cao insisted on staying in the village for seven or eight days. If he didn't leave, County Magistrate Fang, Master Jin, and Master Song would feel embarrassed to leave as well. They contributed a lot of silver to the village and also consumed a large amount of meat and eggs in Shen Nanzhi's space, which were exchanged for silver.

Shen Qingshan accompanied Shen Nanzhi and took the elders in the village to welcome the prefect, and personally led them to settle down in his home.

Yang Xu is over 40 years old, with a goatee and a square face. He looks quite decent, but it is not known what kind of person he is.

"Village Chief Shen, your village has made a great contribution. I have already reported to the emperor. If the new crops can win the emperor's favor and be included in the tribute, your village will become famous throughout the world."

Shen Qingshan was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Shen Nanzhi bowed and said, "It's all because of the good leadership of the prefect. Under your diligent governance, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and can better serve the court."

Yang Xu stroked his beard and said with satisfaction: "You are Shen Nanzhi, Miss Shen. I have heard of you. You are indeed good at speaking."

"It is a blessing for a common woman."

"Okay, I'll go to the fields myself and you lead the way."

Shen Huai'en accompanied her this time. Shen Nanzhi was a woman after all, and she would stand out too much among a group of men. Shen Huai'en didn't want Nanzhi to be stared at with bad eyes.

He was well-educated and neither humble nor overbearing. Prefect Yang was quite surprised: "This young man is very eloquent. Has he ever been to school?"

"I have been studying with Mr. Yuan Ce for a while, so I don't deserve your praise."

"Yuan Ce? Yuan Youwei? Is he the great scholar who lived in seclusion in the mountains? The former Grand Tutor?"

The common people don't know Yuan Ce's name, but the officials in the court are very familiar with him. He is the Taifu, a great scholar who the emperor tried to retain several times but failed. He has a high reputation among scholars.

"Yes, Mr. Yuan loves teaching and educating people the most. He said that no matter where he is, he is serving the court and will train more talents to serve the court."
