Sheng Nuo actually asked Pang Xiu'e's father Pang Fei to find someone for him, and Pang Xiu'e is the daughter-in-law of the second wife. Does this mean that Sheng Kai has also interfered in the affairs of Sheng Nuo's government? Does Pang Xiu'e have a say in some matters? Otherwise, how could Sheng Nuo trust Pang Fei to find someone for him?

Xiao Lan felt more and more that her guess was correct. Sheng Kai had long hoped that Sheng Nuo would become a powerful master, and Pang Xiu'e usually showed herself to be quite capable, so she was naturally unwilling to lag behind others.

Later, Xiao Lan asked He Ming about this question, "Why did this lawyer agree to go to Hejian County when he was unfamiliar with the place?"

He Mingyu smiled and replied, "Of course he got the benefit over there. From what you said, you have several legal advisors in your government office, and it would be insignificant without him. When he goes over there, he can be your uncle's confidant, and he can also sit firmly in the top position among the legal advisors in the county government. He should be aiming for this."

When Pang Fei came back from Hejian County, he did not come back empty-handed, but brought back a lot of things in large and small bags. After he came back, the old Pang family spread the rumor that Pang Xiu'e's brother was also going there, and it was said that Pang Xiu'e found him a good job in the government.

Since the Pang family is so close to Hejian County, they will definitely go to support Xiaoliang's wedding.

"There's one more thing." Zhao looked out the window and saw that Sheng Xuan hadn't come back yet, so she pulled Zhang closer and lowered her voice. "I heard that your old lady wants the eldest son to divorce Wang and find him a wife."

"Ahem..." Zhang was so shocked that she kept coughing. "Aunt, where did you hear these things? These are all things that happen inside the family. It's hard for people who travel back and forth between our two cities to know the details."

"What is the relationship between our two families? Come on, I won't hide it from you. These words were spread by Shen from your second house." Zhao said.

Zhang understood that what Shen liked most was to hang around without doing any work all day, visit other people's houses, sit on people's kangs, and never move. She had a big mouth and could talk non-stop, blabbering all day long, telling people everything she could and couldn't say. She was a simple-minded person, always talking about the neighbors, and even hiding her own embarrassing things. Even if you told her not to tell anyone about anything, she couldn't control her mouth once she got into the mood to talk. If someone asked her about it, she would tell everyone everything.

Now that the upper family was doing well in Hejian County and the county magistrate no longer controlled them, they were free to move around, so the Shen family began to visit neighbors everywhere. Together with Pang Xiu'e and the fat family, all the gossip about the Sheng family in Hejian County came to life in their Liaodong Prefecture.

Zhao and Zhang chatted on the kang for a long time. When they finished talking privately, Zhao said goodbye and went back. When Xiaolan sent Zhao out, Zhao also told her to notify Bao Heng to come and pick up the mutton after she had prepared it.

Xiao Lan agreed with a smile, and then said with a smile, "Aunt, when my family kills the pig for the New Year, you can all come over to eat the pig-killing dishes, and then you can take the mutton away."

"Yes, yes, yes. If you have nothing else to do on the day of slaughtering the pig, you all can come." Zhang told Zhao the day for slaughtering the pig.

"Of course, we will come here early in the morning." After Zhao agreed, she got on the carriage and left.

When Sheng Xuan came back, he had the letter in his hand.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and Xiaolan took the letter from Shengxuan's hand.

"My daughter, open the letter and see what your grandfather said in it?" Sheng Xuan said.

These words were exactly what Xiaolan wanted. She agreed, opened the letter and read it to Zhang Heshengxuan.

Just as Zhao and Zhang said, Old Master Sheng talked about Xiaoliang's marriage in his heart, but he only said that he was marrying into the family and had already gotten married, and he did not mention the silver and property that the second wife had received.

"Didn't the letter say that your grandmother wanted your uncle to divorce Wang and find someone else for him?" Zhang asked.

Sheng Xuan then realized that such a thing had happened in Hejian County. He frowned, but ultimately did not express any opinion on the matter.

Since Mr. Sheng did not mention a single word in his letter about Cui asking Sheng Nuo to divorce his wife, I'm afraid he is not willing to do so in his heart.

"It seems that your father is not satisfied with the old lady's approach," Zhang said.

What Xiao Lan was thinking was, she didn't know whether the old lady was satisfied with Sheng Nuo's decision to divorce his wife or not, but as the old man was very concerned about his reputation, she could say with certainty that the old man was just ashamed to mention it, and it had nothing to do with whether he was satisfied with the old lady's behavior or not.

The family sat together and talked for a while, and Sheng Hao came. It turned out that Sheng Xuan had met Sheng Hao when he was outside just now, and told him about receiving the letter from the old man, so Sheng Hao came over after work.

"Third brother, what did our father say in the letter?" Sheng Hao asked.

"I've talked about Xiaoliang's marriage," Xiaolan said, "Fourth Uncle, let me read the letter to you and Fourth Aunt."

"Yes, let Xiaolan read it to you..." Sheng Xuan said.

So Xiaolan picked up the letter and read it.

"Xiaoliang is getting married, so we have to follow the gift. Should we go this time?" Sheng Hao asked Sheng Xuan.

Because Mr. Sheng told them to go in the letter.

"Third brother, are you going?" Sheng Hao asked, "If you go, we won't go. You just need to help take the gifts over."

In just a few months, Sheng Hao had given out two gifts in a row, and he felt a lot of pressure.

Sheng Xuan glanced at Zhang and said nothing, because he remembered what Zhang said when she brought the child back from Hejian County. At that time, Zhang said that she would never go to Hejian County again, and would not let the child go there.

"We won't have anyone coming this time. The New Year is just around the corner and we're really busy at home." Sheng Xuan said.

Xiaoliang is a son-in-law, which is really not nice to say. As a man with traditional ideas, Sheng Xuan felt very uncomfortable, after all, Xiaoliang is his nephew.

"The New Year is just around the corner. Third brother, do you think our two families should give our parents some New Year gifts or something?" Sheng Hao discussed with Sheng Xuan.
