Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

There is a high probability that the Mo family will not let Mo Qingwan leave.

It's no use wasting time, maybe...something worse might happen.

But Shen Zheng always felt that since Mo Qingwan said this, it meant he had already prepared a way to deal with it.

"Do you have any way to escape from the Mo family?" Shen Zheng asked.

Mo Qingwan's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and she slowly said, "There is a way, but I don't know if it is feasible."

"Tell me about it?" Shen Zheng took a sip of tea and said seriously, "It's not easy to carve out a way to survive from the 'filial piety'. It's a good thing to have an idea."

In fact, this matter has nothing to do with Shen Zheng. In other words, she only needs to handle the case according to the law and punish Mo Zongkai. As for Mo Qingwan's life or death? It is not within her jurisdiction.

But Shen Zheng couldn't really sit idly by and watch this matter. As she had said before, Mo Qingwan had suffered too much.

She had seen a lot of people and things, but she could never understand how there could be such a family.

Home is no longer a harbor, no longer a warm bed, no longer hot porridge in winter, but a death talisman.

"My daughter's method may be incomprehensible to the world." Mo Qingwan secretly took note of Shen Zheng's expression at this moment so that she could make a comparison later.

All I heard her say was, "My daughter and Siyuan were engaged before, and many people knew about it. But now, as time goes by and the seasons change, everyone has forgotten about it."

"Engagement?" Shen Zheng was a little confused when she heard this. "Didn't they say... that Yue Siyuan must marry into the family?"

Yue Siyuan did not marry into the family in the end, so if we really want to talk about this engagement, I'm afraid it won't be established.

Mo Qingwan shook her head. "In fact, when my daughter and my family were betting, the marriage certificate between my daughter and Siyuan had already been written, but it had always been in my father's hands. Later, my father changed his mind and wanted Siyuan to marry into my family. The marriage certificate was kept by my father and became a piece of waste paper."

Is there a marriage certificate?

Shen Zheng was stunned when she heard this, and thought: "That is not waste paper, it is the proof of your engagement with Yue Siyuan."

She seemed to know what Mo Qingwan was trying to do.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this matter is somewhat shocking.

But the point is...

"Where is the marriage certificate now?"

"On my daughter."

"You stole it?"

"No." Mo Qingwan's emotions were mixed, like mockery, but also like gratitude. "After Siyuan died, my daughter couldn't tell the difference between day and night, and the family business was shelved. My father came in a rage and threw the marriage certificate in my daughter's face."

"He said..." She smiled, "He said, Siyuan is dead, who am I acting like that for? If I want to get married, I will take this marriage certificate and accompany Siyuan in the afterlife."

"Just like that, this marriage certificate that my daughter and Siyuan had always dreamed of came into my daughter's hands after Siyuan's death."

Shen Zheng watched her narrating the story calmly, as if she was talking about some trivial matters, and she felt suddenly sad.

Etiquette cannot be abolished, but etiquette can also harm people.

As long as Mo Zonkai is not convicted of a crime, Shen Zheng cannot ask Yu Zhengqing to directly move Mo Qingwan's household registration out.

"Have you decided?" Shen Zheng asked her, "If you and Yue Siyuan die in marriage, you can move your household registration out of the Mo family, but in the future..."

From then on, she was considered a widow in the eyes of others.

But for the current situation, if the government does not intervene, this may be the best solution.

"It's decided." Mo Qingwan's voice was soft, but her tone was firm. "My daughter should have married Siyuan, it's just a matter of time. As long as the government recognizes this marriage, my daughter will marry."

Shen Zheng thought about it carefully.

It's true, Mo Qingwan has a marriage certificate in her hand, which means that she is legally engaged. Even if her fiancé dies before the marriage, she can still marry after death - the system of marriage after death has not been completely perfected, and the handling methods vary from place to place, but it mostly depends on the woman's wishes.

This may be one of the few systems that gives women the right to choose.

After marriage, Mo Qingwan became a wife of the Yue family, not a daughter of the Mo family.

I'm afraid even Mo's father had never thought that Mo Qingwan could really get that marriage certificate and have a posthumous marriage with the deceased Yue Siyuan.

Shen Zheng admired Mo Qingwan's courage. This method could save herself, but she would have to endure a lot of rumors.

"You are not someone who would be moved by rumors." Shen Zheng looked at her, "If you really decide, I respect your choice."

For Mo Qingwan today, freedom is above everything.

With Shen Zheng's support, Mo Qingwan didn't know why, but she felt relieved in her heart, "Master Shen, I have no way to repay your kindness."

Again.

Shen Zheng shook her head. "Don't give me the impression that I'm being kind. From the beginning to the end, I have only handled the case impartially. Now that you and I are sitting here, we are just discussing the case."

Mo Qingwan smiled lightly, but did not speak out his thoughts. Instead, he asked, "I heard that Lord Shen is about to build a wharf in the county. Will there be trade in the future?"

Shen Zheng looked at her and said, "This is not a secret. I heard that the Liuyangfu Pier belongs to the Mo family?"

"Yes." Mo Qingwan nodded and said, "My daughter has been in charge of it before. She is also in charge of supplying goods to the surrounding counties. To be honest, I am a little sorry for Master Fang this time."

Mo Qingwan thought, if this incident was to be resolved, the victims besides the Fan family would be the Fang family.

The Fang family could only choose one and had to cut off ties with the Mo family. Business in the near future... might not be easy.

The Fang family's business is not doing well, and the Tongan Chamber of Commerce, which purchases goods from the Fang family, is probably also greatly affected.

Mo Qingwan felt guilty and thought for a long time, then suddenly said, "Sir Shen, after your county builds a wharf, it will open up for trade, and my daughter will have to leave the Mo family. How about this, when my daughter returns to the mansion, I will hand over various purchase channels from the surrounding prefectures and counties to you, so that the Chamber of Commerce in your county can find goods and lower the price."

She really likes doing business, and she has a thorough understanding of all the merchants in the surrounding prefectures and counties - she only contacts them, but rarely discusses cooperation for the Mo family.

With a Mo family like this, forget about making money through her hands anymore.

Shen Zheng shook her head and refused without thinking, "Thank you Miss Mo for your kindness, but it's not necessary."

"Why?" Mo Qingwan was unable to help her and was somewhat puzzled. "Is Lord Shen afraid of having a private relationship with my daughter? Don't worry, those channels are not Mo family channels, and you can feel free to do business with the county's Chamber of Commerce."

This one.

Shen Zheng sighed lightly, not knowing what was wrong with them, they were all rushing to offer channels.

"The county has previously discussed cooperation with the channels. Although there is no stipulation that only one channel can be used for purchases, as you said, the Mo family now has a case, and this case is in the hands of me and Lord Yu. Although these channels do not belong to the Mo family, I, on behalf of the County Chamber of Commerce, have received a favor from you, and this is not justifiable."

It all comes down to two words - avoid suspicion.

Mo Qingwan lowered her head. She still thought things were too simple.

Just when she didn't know how to express her feelings, she heard Shen Zheng say: "Let's talk about the rest after this case is over..."
