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

When she thought about the two of them still outside the mansion, Pei Yu felt like her heart was thrown into a frying pan and fried on both sides.

"Sir, since I was elected, I am no longer a daughter of the Dai family. When they accepted the money from the court, they acknowledged the fact that they did not have a daughter like me."

"I was fortunate enough to be given to you, my Lord. From that day on, I thought that I would be yours in life and yours in death, and that I would have nothing to do with the Dai family in this life. But I never expected that they would come to my door today..."

"I know I have let you down, sir, and this mansion, but I hope you will allow me to go out and talk to them clearly, so that they won't come and make a fuss again and disturb the peace of this mansion..."

Shen Zheng listened to her silently and asked seriously, "Pei Yu, you need to tell me the truth. Do you still miss them?"

“No!” Pei Yu answered immediately with a firm look, “But I will never forget the kindness you gave me. If they live for a hundred years, I will let them rest in peace and they will not be missing on their way to the underworld… And the kindness you gave me for raising me. After I was elected, the court gave them ten taels of silver. If they think it’s not enough, I still have some change on me, which is enough to repay them!”

"You are confused!" Nanny Gu's voice suddenly rose: "Public election is voluntary. When they sent you to the popular election, did they ask if you were willing? The court has already repaid your favor. You don't need to spend the little change in your pocket!"

Mu Qing also advised her: "They have signed a contract with the court, so there is no reason for them to ask you for money again. If you give it to the jade pendant once, you will not be able to explain it in the future."

Hua Duo stood up and said, "I will drive them out of Yintai Street and make them dare not come again."

"It's not worth the trouble." Shen Zheng looked at Pei Yu for a while, "Pei Yu, you are..."

......

At the gate of Shen's Mansion.

Yu Nanshu rode her own little horse to teach Hua Duo and others. As soon as she got off the horse, she was surrounded by two people.

"Miss, Miss, you want to go into the Shen Mansion, right?" The woman looked flattering and reached out to grab her sleeve.

"What are you doing!" Yu Nanshu took two steps back and frowned, "Who are you? Why are you at the gate of Shen's house? Who are you looking for?"

"Oh, girl, you really know the owner of this house!" The woman said to herself, "Please go in and tell Lord Shen that we just want to see our daughter, nothing else, please let us in..."

Yu Nanshu was confused: "Why is your daughter in the Shen Mansion if she is not at home?"

The woman's expression twisted slightly, and before she could speak, the door of the Shen Mansion opened from the inside. Pei Yu was standing inside the door, her coat and hair were disheveled, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry, looking very aggrieved.

"Pei Yu?" Yu Nanshu was startled and immediately stepped forward. "What happened? Who bullied you?"

Peiyu didn't expect that she was outside the mansion. She was slightly startled and quickly knelt down, crying: "Miss! I can't serve you anymore. I hope you take care of yourself!"

Yu Nanshu jumped back in fright.

What service?

When had she ever let Pei Yu serve her!

The Shen Mansion is so strange today...

The concierge came over at the right time and scolded Peiyu: "This bad girl, she's crying before she even leaves the house. It's really unlucky. It ruins the feng shui of the house!"

He secretly gave Yu Nanshu a wink, indicating that Yu Nanshu should hurry into the house.

Yu Nanshu was confused. After taking two steps, she remembered that her pony was still outside. "My horse..."

The doorman bowed and nodded to her, then twisted his body to avoid Pei Yu and scolded her, "Go away and cry! The young lady's horse is enough to buy dozens of your lives. If you scare the horse and make the young lady unhappy, your life will not be enough to pay for it! Hurry up and get out of here!"

Yu Nanshu’s eyes opened wide.

When did the doorman of the Shen residence become so eloquent?

In his words, she was just like a rich lady who took human life lightly.

Under the slightly urging gaze of the doorman, Yu Nanshu entered the Shen Mansion with a helpless look on her face, thinking of quickly finding her sister Shen to find out what was going on.

As soon as I entered, the door was slammed shut by the doorman.

Turning around, the doorman scratched his head and smiled at her foolishly.

Turning around again, Shen Zheng and others were walking slowly towards her, and she finally felt the reality of what she had just experienced.

"Shen..."

"Shh..." Shen Zheng put a finger in front of her lips, signaling her to be quiet, then pulled her closer to the door, pressed her eyes against the crack of the door, and mouthed, "Look first..."

Hua Duo and his companions also followed Shen Zheng's example and tried to find a crack in the door.

However, the quality of the Shen Mansion’s gate is extremely good. Except for the gap between the left and right doors, other places seem to be made of a whole piece of wood, with no gaps at all.

The few people were at a loss, so Shen Zheng pulled them over.

Shen Zheng's head was at the top, and below them were Yu Nanshu, Grandma Gu, Mu Qing, Wodan and Gan Tang.

Several people narrowed their right eyes and looked at the crack in the door with their left eyes.

Outside the door, the couple's mood changed from joy at the beginning to anger.

"What did you say?!" Even if Shen Zheng and the others were not standing close to the door, they could still hear her words: "The mansion is going to sell you out?"

How can you just sell such a good maid?

Where can I sell it? How can they find it if it is far away?

"Dad, Mom!" Pei Yu knelt down and hugged the woman's thighs, saying, "Please buy me back. It only costs ten taels of silver... After I go home, I will be obedient, eat less, work more, and save money to marry my brother!"

The woman pushed her away, causing her to collapse on the ground.

"What nonsense! How can we afford ten taels of silver to buy you?" She pulled Pei Yu up and pushed her towards the Shen residence. "Did you say something wrong that displeased the master? Kneel down and knock on the door and beg for forgiveness!"

Peiyu's last bit of attachment to her family was gone.

After she calmed down, she acted more and more skillfully.

"Mother, the master really doesn't want me anymore." She even added some words to herself, which Shen Zheng didn't teach her: "Since my daughter came to the Shen Mansion, I have been thinking about my parents every day, wondering if they are well clothed and well fed, and if my brother has enough straw paper, pens and ink. Although my daughter is far away in the capital, I still want to ask someone to bring some small household items home..."

The woman seemed to have only heard the second half of the conversation, and said with a slight smile: "This is a good thing, it shows that you are filial and know how to repay your parents, and it is worth it for your mother to carry you for ten months!"

Pei Yu choked and said, "My daughter felt the same way, but because the master is not often at home, my daughter had evil thoughts... I borrowed some inconspicuous ornaments in the mansion and wanted to exchange them for some silver..."

"You are stealing!" The man who had been silent the whole time got angry when he heard this. "You are not clean after entering the government. Do you want to ruin the reputation of our Dai family and your brother's future? If your brother succeeds in his studies in the future, having you as his sister will be a stain on his life!"
