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

The fat aunt didn't expect that the girl she just met today would be so bold that she dared to challenge the second master of the Mo family. She tugged at Shen Zheng's sleeve and sweated anxiously: "Girl, stop talking and go! There are so many people here today, they may not be able to catch you later!"

Shen Zheng staggered after being pushed by her kindness, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Aunt, it's okay..."

"How come they are fine?" The fat aunt felt that the girl was a little dazed, and gestured, "They are members of the Mo family. Do you know what the Mo family is in our Liuyang Mansion?"

She glanced around and lowered her voice: "The government office is the sky, and the Mo family is the earth. Many people in our government office live by licking their business..."

The government office is a place where people are reasonable, but the Mo family is different. Therefore, there is a saying among the people of Liuyang Prefecture: "I would rather go to the government office to be beaten than go to the Mo family for tea."

Xiao Yuan, whose wrist was held by Shen Zheng, could no longer hold back and sneered, "The land of Liuyang Mansion? You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of getting your tongue bitten when you go out?"

"Oh my..." The fat aunt stared at Xiao Yuan for a while: "You are her brother, right? You two are the same, both of you are so careless. Hurry up and leave! Mr. Mo... is very mean! Even though he doesn't send anyone to arrest you now, he has already memorized your appearance!"

Liang Fu leaned forward and asked curiously, "Did he remember that? Then what can he do to us?"

After saying that, he gave a provocative smile to Mo Er who was not far away, which made Mo Er even angrier.

The fat aunt was so shocked by his action that she almost couldn't breathe. She scolded: "You are the grandfather of her brother and sister, right? You are really old and crooked. Is this how you teach your children to cause trouble when they are away from home? As an elder, if something really happens to the children, how will you explain to their parents? Be patient for a while and everything will be calm..."

The fat aunt kept on preaching and lecturing, and the three of Liang Fu and his grandson were so educated that they remained silent.

Liang Fu, who inexplicably became Shen Zheng's grandfather, felt sweet in his heart and smiled even more vigorously at Mo Er.

Just when Mo Er couldn't bear it anymore and was walking towards them with his fists clenched, Mo Qingwan, who was standing behind them, suddenly pounced on them.

She pushed Mo Er far away and stared at Shen Zheng through the veil, with obvious meaning in her eyes.

Shen Zheng met her gaze and felt very sad.

There are so many crossroads in life, and it is not easy to save others or to save yourself.

She sighed softly, lifted a corner of her veil, and silently said two words: "Try your best."

At this moment, she was Mo Qingwan's last straw, and when Mo Qingwan saw the answer "try your best", he was obviously disappointed and found it hard to accept.

She didn't force Shen Zheng to help her, but even Lord Shen was unsure about it, so how could she do it herself...

No one knows a girl better than her mother. Mrs. Mo could tell from her eyes that the girl in front of her was not an ordinary person, and to get her promise to "do her best" was already very precious.

She has lived for decades, and has experienced pain, confusion, regret, and mistakes. She has also long understood a truth - not everything has to have results, and sometimes trying one's best is the best result.

She nodded gratefully to Shen Zheng, turned around and grabbed Mo Qingwan's arm, and whispered, "Wan'er, listen to this girl, don't let all the plans you and I have made in the past... fail at the last minute."

After that, without waiting for Mo Qingwan's response, Madam Mo forcibly brought her to Madam Wu's side and said solemnly, "Send the eldest lady to get married."

"Sister-in-law!" Mo Er still wanted to stop her.

"Second brother!" Madam Mo's voice was much louder than before: "If you continue to stop me, I will report you to the police!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a majestic male voice came: "Who wants to report to the police?"

Mrs. Mo didn't expect that her shout of "report to the police" would actually attract the police, and her back stiffened.

But on second thought, regardless of whether the marriage was a divorce or not, a woman's marriage was a family affair of her Mo family. With the marriage certificate as proof, even if they reported it to the police, the police would not be able to stop them at all.

Thinking of this, Madam Mo breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed her head, saying: "I hope you can forgive my panicked words. My daughter's wedding has blocked the streets here. I will apologize to the neighbors later..."

She didn't see clearly who the visitor was, but the sudden silence around her reminded her that the visitor was not ordinary.

"Greetings, His Excellency the Prefect!" The people reacted and were the first to salute.

They whispered, "Why is the prefect here?"

"It's just a blockage of the street. The police can just come and clear it. Why did the prefect come in person?"

Mo Er was also frightened by Yu Zhengqing's appearance, and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

The Mo family is in trouble right now, and his nephew Mo Zonkai is still in prison. If he angers the prefect Yu Zhengqing now, when his eldest brother comes back, no one in the Mo family present today will be able to escape!

"Isn't it about marriage?" Yu Zhengqing ignored the confusion of the crowd and turned to ask Mrs. Mo: "Why is the bride blocking the road?"

It was the first time that Madam Mo met the legendary prefect. Unsure of his temperament, she did not dare to answer rashly.

A figure suddenly appeared out of the corner of her eye. It was the girl who had spoken to the mother and daughter before.

The girl bowed to the prefect and said, "Your Excellency, the bride's uncle does not allow her to marry."

Shen Zheng swore that even though she came to the Great Zhou, she was not a person who had the concept of legitimate and illegitimate children. Today she repeatedly emphasized the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children just to try to irritate Mo Er.

Mo Er was almost mad at the words, but with Yu Zhengqing in front of him, he didn't even have the energy to speak loudly to Shen Zheng.

The fat aunt didn't expect Shen Zheng to be so bold that she dared to mock others in front of the prefect. She quickly said, "Girl, I'm begging you to say less..."

Who would have the audacity to talk to the prefect like this? The prefect would only pay attention if he had nothing better to do!

"Oh?" But the prefect seemed to be really full today.

The fat aunt heard him reply and asked, "Are the bride's parents still alive?"

No! The fat aunt opened her mouth wide - tell her the truth!

Madam Mo looked at Yu Zhengqing, then at Shen Zheng, as if she understood something, and quickly stood up: "Your Excellency, I am the bride's biological mother."

Yu Zhengqing nodded and asked her, "Are you dissatisfied with your daughter's marriage?"

Madam Mo replied: "Your Excellency, I have no complaints at all."

Yu Zhengqing nodded: "Then let's get married quickly and don't cause congestion in the streets."

Mo Er watched Mo Qingwan being pushed onto the horse's back by Madam Mo, and then watched the red and white wedding dress walk away. He always felt that something was wrong.

When a girl gets married, it's just one thing, but...

The bride's parents are still alive, right? Then why did the prefect only ask for the bride's mother's opinion and not mention the bride's father?
