Shen Zheng picked up a piece of dessert and said to Yu Zhengqing while eating, "Your Excellency, don't blame yourself. I don't mind it anymore. Now everyone in the Tongan County Office is very nice. They are my relatives."

The dim sum was soft and melted in the mouth. She couldn't help but ask, "Whose dim sum is this? It's really delicious."

Although the dim sum that Xu Zhubu had taken her to buy before was also delicious, it was still a bit sweet for her, and she still preferred this kind of fruit dim sum.

Seeing that she really didn't mind what happened just now, Yu Zhengqing kept it a secret and said, "I'll tell you next time you come back to the mansion."

Shen Zheng smiled, which meant that she would go to Liuyang Mansion again.

Yu Zhengqing stopped talking but was thinking in his heart, was there any family in Beijing who lost their daughter more than 20 years ago?

Although he was in Beijing at that time, more than 20 years were enough for people to forget many things.

He thought for a moment but found nothing. Perhaps he didn't remember, or perhaps at that time... no one was looking for the lost girl.

Yu Zhengqing wanted to ask her again whether she had tried to find her biological parents before, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.

He could only think in his mind that he would ask Shen Zheng again when he had the chance if she wanted to find her biological parents.

If she also wants to find her biological parents, I will help her find them when I return to Shangjing.

"Uu~!"

The carriage stopped after a slight jolt, and the driver whispered outside the curtain: "Sir, we're here."

As soon as their carriage arrived in Nanba Village, it attracted the attention of the villagers.

The villagers who were working in the fields came over in twos and threes and surrounded the carriage.

Not to mention the coachman, the villagers certainly didn't know him. And since arriving in Tongan County, Master Qiao and his apprentice Cheng Yu had been staying in the backyard of the county government office and had never gone out, so the villagers naturally didn't recognize them either.

More and more villagers gathered around and looked at the carriage with vigilance.

"This carriage is so luxurious, it must not be from Tong'an County! Someone must be from another county!"

"How did they get in? Why is there no movement at the checkpoint?"

"Hurry up and go to Zhouxunlizheng, I don't know what these people are up to!"

"The head of the village has gone to the county government office today. You keep the carriage safe while I drive the ox cart to the county government office to look for the head of the village and bring him back!"

Ever since the last visit from the neighboring Quanyang County Magistrate, the villagers of Tongan County have been extremely wary of outsiders. They know without a doubt that these people are here to target their rice!

Shen Zheng couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the villagers' words in the carriage. They all had a good sense of crisis.

Seeing that the people in the carriage were motionless, the villagers shouted into the carriage, "Hey! No matter what you are doing here, stay in the carriage and don't get off until our headman comes back!"

Yu Zhengqing looked at Shen Zheng after hearing this, "Are the people in your Tongan County so tough?"

Shen Zheng smiled and lowered his head, saying with a guilty look, "Please forgive me, sir. This was my idea. I was afraid that the rice in the village would be targeted by someone with ulterior motives, but the county is too poor, so I had to ask the villagers to keep an eye on it."

Yu Zhengqing snorted, "You're crying poor to me again."

Shen Zheng replied: "No, I just told the truth. Please wait a moment, sir. I will go down and talk to them first."

After saying this, she lifted the curtain of the car. Before she stuck her head out, the villagers below spoke again.

"What are you doing! Didn't I tell you not to come down?"

Shen Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that, and stuck her head out: "Can't I do that too?"

"Lord County Magistrate!"

"The county magistrate is here!"

The villagers were instantly excited when they saw her.

The villager who had just shouted was stunned when he saw her. Did he shout at the county magistrate?

The person next to him quickly reached out and hit him on the head, "Why are your eyes so useless? How can you talk to the county magistrate?"

Shen Zheng waved at them, indicating that she should get off the carriage first.

The enthusiastic aunts quickly squeezed in from the outer circle, and one by one they offered their hands to Shen Zheng, "My lord, help me get down!"

Shen Zheng couldn't resist their enthusiasm and said quickly, "I will come down by myself."

She said she didn't need it, and the aunts didn't dare to pull her out. They just stretched out their hands to protect her and let her jump off the carriage by herself.

Before Shen Zheng could stand firmly, the villagers started talking again.

"The county magistrate's new carriage is truly magnificent, barely worthy of you!"

"That's not enough, the county magistrate's carriage should be pulled by two fine horses!"

Shen Zheng felt ashamed after hearing this. Before she could open her mouth to stop them, the villagers changed the subject.

"Are you here to look for Li Zheng Zhou? But didn't Li Zheng go to the county government office today? Did he miss you?"

"You must be tired after coming all the way from the county government office, right? Why don't you go to my house first to drink some hot water and wait for the head of the village. If he doesn't come back later, you can have a simple meal at my house first!"

"Why should I go to your house? Sir, I still have some fresh dough. If you come to my house, I will make some sweet cakes for you to eat!"

Shen Zheng really couldn't stand their enthusiasm, so she took two steps back and raised her hand to stop them.

She coughed lightly and said, "I am not here to look for Chief Zhou today, but for something important."

After she finished speaking, she quietly stretched out her hand and pointed to the carriage, indicating that there were still people inside.

Then she whispered, "You guys disperse first, don't offend the prefect."

Mr. Prefect!!!

Why did the prefect come to their Nanba Village? !

The villagers quickly covered their mouths with their hands, fearing that they would scream out loud!

When Master Qiao, his disciple and the driver saw the villagers disperse, they quickly jumped off the car.

Old Qiao secretly gave Shen Zheng a thumbs up.

The attitude of these villagers just now seemed as if they would not let her go unless she went to eat!

He sighed in his heart, this was the first time he had seen such a beloved official.

After Shen Zheng saw them dispersing, she walked forward, lifted the curtain, and whispered, "The villagers have all dispersed. Sir, please get off the car."

After getting off the car, Yu Zhengqing smiled and glanced at Shen Zheng, jokingly saying, "Master Shen just ate sweet fruit, so he probably can't eat sweet cakes anymore, right?"

Shen Zheng laughed dryly, "The villagers are really enthusiastic, please stop teasing me, sir."

Yu Zhengqing laughed, "They treat you well with all their heart. It's good, good."

He saw more things during his visit to the village today.

Judging from the way the villagers treated her, it was not like they were treating an official, but more like they were treating a relative, or someone they truly admired.

There are very few officials who can have such a relationship with ordinary people.

Yu Zhengqing nodded approvingly to Shen Zheng and said, "Come on, follow me to the fields to take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and saw the rice fields on the side. The rice fields were stretching and a little far away, so he couldn't see them clearly.

A breeze blew, the rice waves surged, and Yu Zhengqing stood there in a daze.
