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

The people inside the door felt a little tired after watching, so they discussed and changed their positions.

Shen Zheng squatted down and moved to the bottom. Yu Nanshu and others adjusted their positions according to their heights.

After everyone stood in place, Yu Nanshu asked in a low voice, "Peiyu's parents? These two are so strange. Peiyu said that she stole things from the mansion, but her father was first worried about her brother's future. Shouldn't he be worried about Peiyu's life... No, what did Peiyu steal from the mansion? How could she steal things from the mansion?"

Shen Zheng looked up, and Nanny Gu and the others looked up or lowered their heads, with obvious meaning in their eyes - they just reacted?

“Oh——” Yu Nanshu suddenly realized: “It’s just a show!”

"Shh..." Shen Zheng motioned her to keep her voice down, "Let's talk after we finish watching it."

Several eyes were fixed on the crack of the door.

"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, Dad!" Pei Yu used her hands and feet to crawl over and hug the man's calf. "I made a mistake just because I wanted to help my family. In the official residence, stealing is a serious crime. The master has spared my life, which is a mercy. Today is the last day, Dad. If my daughter is bought by someone else, how can I repay you in the future, Dad! I haven't seen my brother get married, and I haven't been able to let my parents enjoy family happiness..."

"You don't need to watch your brother get married!" The man picked her up and said, "Go! Beg Lord Shen now. If he doesn't want to keep you, tell him that you will die as a token of your sin!"

die?

Pei Yu slowly raised her head.

"Dad wants me to die?"

"This is the only way." The man's tone suddenly became gentle: "Xiao Liu, you are now a lowly person, and you have committed a shameful act. If you are sent out of the Shen Mansion, how can you have a good reputation in the future? You can only be ruthless and bet that Lord Shen does not want to cause a death, so he will keep you."

Pei Yu's eyes widened, "Dad wants me to threaten the master with death? Who am I! Since I entered the Shen Mansion, I have always been the lowest-ranking maid, and I have no chance to see the master at all!"

"If there is no opportunity, create one!" The man's voice became lower and lower, so low that Shen Zheng and the others could hardly hear it: "Lord Shen is a new noble in the capital, and it is time to cherish his reputation. He certainly doesn't want the scandal in his mansion to be spread..."

He looked down at the clothes on Pei Yu and said, "What you are wearing is the maid's clothing of the Shen Mansion, right?"

This material is even worse than the one he is wearing.

A wealthy family?

Peiyu lowered her head, thinking that the master had asked her to change her clothes.

Her previous clothes were custom-made by Nanny Gu after the master returned to the capital, while this set was custom-made before the master returned to the capital.

The fabric is rough and has been washed so many times that it has already been damaged.

She cried and said, "Yes...this is the clothes of the lowest servants in the mansion."

A trace of disgust flashed in the man's eyes when he heard this.

For the lowest-ranking maid, it is almost impossible to risk her life for a better future.

But as the saying goes, if you don’t succeed, you will die. This move... is right!

"Go." The man raised his chin towards the door, "Go knock on the door and tell the doorman that you want to see Lord Shen and want to die to apologize."

Pei Yu staggered, her eyes filled with fear of death: "Dad...can't you buy me back? Just ten taels of silver. When I go home, I will definitely be able to earn back the ten taels for the family in the future...No! Earn back twenty taels!"

The man looked fierce, "Go if I tell you to."

"Mom..." Pei Yu looked at the woman.

The woman shrank her neck and said, "Do you think I look like ten taels of silver? Listen to your father. Staying in the government house is better than anything else."

When she saw Lord Shen today, she drooled with jealousy.

How many six girls would that outfit be worth?

If someone leaks a little from between her fingers, it would probably be enough for her family to eat for a year! Sixth girl must not leave this golden nest!

"Okay." Pei Yu suppressed her tears and loosened her grip on the man's clothes, "I'll go."

She walked slowly towards the Shen Mansion, and because her back was facing the couple, the expression she had been suppressing gradually became apparent.

Pain, self-mockery, and finally returning to calmness.

Shen Zheng and the others inside the door scattered like birds and beasts and ran to the side door.

"Knock knock knock--" there was knock on the door.

The doorman picked up the broom and rushed forward. The look on his face made Shen Zheng want to beat him up.

"Squeak..." The doorman opened the door a crack, pushed the broom out, and then raised his chin and looked at people through his nose, "Have you collected enough money to redeem yourself?"

Peiyu shook her head.

"Why would I knock on the door without you!" In front of the couple, the doorman stabbed Pei Yu hard with a broom. "Get lost, Gu Butler said that today is the deadline. It just so happens that your family is here. If you can make it, you will be sold out tomorrow! I'm telling you, don't even think about running away. Even if you run away, you can't escape from the Great Zhou. If you are caught by the government, you and your whole family will have a hard time for the rest of your life!"

He had a very loud voice, and the couple shuddered secretly when they heard it.

The woman looked frightened: "They have sold the people to the court, why are they troubling us after running away?"

The man's face was gloomy. "In this world, the officials have the final say. If they want to cause trouble for us ordinary people, they have plenty of ways to do it."

And his son...must make a name for himself, get a government job, and become someone with a say.

The woman took a half step back unconsciously and said hesitantly: "Why don't we go before they know where we are. Otherwise, this girl will really run away and implicate us!"

"Idiot!" The man tilted his head and lowered his voice, "The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. She is a woman elected by the people, how can the court not have her registered?"

"What should we do?" The woman panicked. "We haven't found a good way out for Heng'er yet. How could he be harmed by this bad girl? Really... I shouldn't have come here if I had known!"

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Let's wait and see. If the Shen family is really determined to sell her out, we can only let her..."

At the door, the conversation between Pei Yu and the doorman came to an end with the doorman's words, "Who are you? Do you want to see the master? No way."

Pei Yu returned sadly.

"Dad, Mom, the concierge won't let me see Master Shen."

"Are you saying you want to die as an atonement?" the man asked.

"said."

"Then how did he answer?"

"He said that if I dared to dirty the ground in front of the Shen Mansion, he would spread my scandal to Yanzhou, so that the neighbors could see what kind of family raised a daughter like me..."

Things did not develop as the man expected. He frowned fiercely: "The servants in the mansion are not clean, and it is a disgrace to the Shen Mansion!"

Pei Yu said, "The gatekeeper said that your Excellency is well-known for his kindness. If this matter is made public, no one will think that your Excellency is not strict in governing the government."

They just think that the Dai family gave birth to a bad seed.
