“Shouldn’t there be compensation?”

These words immediately reminded everyone of the scene that happened in the yamen last time.

Considering that there was no solid evidence at the time, and that Liu Jue, a young master of noble status, had guaranteed Jiang Yao, the prefect still demanded compensation from Jiang Yao. Immediately, everyone came to Jiang Yao's defense.

"That's right. How dare the Jiang family abuse their own granddaughter? This is outrageous! This is only natural!"

"Yes, I remember there was a large piece of rotten leaves and some rotten eggs in front of the girl's shop. They were all caused by the Jiang family. We have to compensate her for her losses!"

……

Words like these gave the prefect a headache. He stared at Old Lady Jiang with great contempt, and then secretly winked at Jiang Yao.

Seeing the pride in Jiang Yao's eyes, he became even more furious, but there was nothing he could do so he had to speak.

"I heard that the Jiang family is not doing well. After all, they are a family. I gave them ten taels of silver as compensation. If anyone from the Jiang family dares to make trouble here again, I will never let him go!"

Jiang Yao knew that she only received ten taels, and she felt unhappy, but she did not insist.

He pretended to be grateful and thanked the prefect, then turned around and thanked everyone. The Jiang family pretended to be heartbroken and complained to them.

Afterwards, he left the government office with Liu Jue.

On the way, Liu Jue looked at Jiang Yao with doubt, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Miss Jiang, you should know that your losses during this period have exceeded ten taels. Ten taels is not a difficult thing for your uncle's family. Why don't you ask them for some?"

For Liu Jue, since they have already fallen out, he might as well let them suffer a little so that they will remember their mistakes.

Perhaps Jiang Yao saw through Liu Jue's thoughts, she smiled lightly, turned around, and said, "If you can think of this, how could the county magistrate who had an agreement with them not know about it?"

"He only asked me to pay ten taels just to piss me off so he could get some benefits from the Jiang family. If I asked for more, he wouldn't get any money from the Jiang family."

"If that happens, I'll be the culprit for corruption and bribery. I don't want to get involved in this mess and let them fight to the death! Besides, I can always make back my money with my honest business."

"You are really open-minded."

"It's not that I can't think straight, but I just hope I can calm down. During this period, my two sisters and my mother have become increasingly unhappy. I hope they can be happier."

After hearing Jiang Yao's explanation, Liu Jian's heart moved, and he thought of his family's experience, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, an idea arose in his mind.

If I could marry Jiang Yao into my own house, perhaps this home would become more warm and cozy.

However, he was very clear that Jiang Yao had already married someone else.

No matter whether others could understand him or not, he couldn't say anything that would embarrass Jiang Yao in front of so many people.

If the news that Jiang Yao and Wei Chengye are married gets out, Jiang Yao's reputation will be ruined and she may even be locked in a cage.

Thinking of this, Liu Jue couldn't help but feel depressed and regretted why he didn't confess to Jiang Yao earlier!

The two were distracted and didn't notice that someone was watching them.

To be more precise, he stared at Jiang Yao for a very long time.

"Can you check for me if the person following him is my niece Jiang Yao?" Qian pushed the arm of the woman next to her, with some hesitation in her voice.

When the woman heard this, she immediately came over, but she didn't stare at Jiang Yao. Instead, she stared at Liu Jue who was beside Jiang Yao.

Why would such a good person be with Jiang Yao? This is simply a waste of talent!

The woman sighed in her heart and said to Qian unhappily, "It's not her? Look at her foxy face, it's really attractive!"

Qian's mind was full of recent family affairs, and she didn't pay much attention to what the lady said. She just nodded casually.

"That's right! That's right!"

The two of them whispered a few words, and then walked down the street with the woman. Qian knew what she should do, and didn't want to waste time on this woman.

So, he left with an excuse.

Qian asked around and finally found the house where Jiang Yao currently lived. Seeing such a luxurious house, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.

When she thought of her family's current situation, a trace of greed flashed in her eyes, and she cursed Feng in her heart.

No wonder that bitch Feng was so nice to Jiang Yao. She saw the opportunity for Jiang Yao to make money and wanted to take advantage of them.

This cunning guy!

Old Mrs. Lu was the same. She took advantage of the Lu family's good life and forgot about her eldest son and daughter-in-law!

Just wait, she is going to make a big profit from Jiang Yao today.

Thinking of this, Qian took a deep breath, and went to Jiang Yao's shop which was still being tidied up with a smile, with a hint of blame in her familiar tone.

"Yao'er, what are you doing? My aunt is here, why didn't you tell me?"

When Jiang Yao heard Qian's tone, she couldn't help but frown, and then she looked unhappy.

We just dealt with one batch of problems, and now there are still people causing trouble. There is simply no peace!

If possible, he would really return to the capital some time in advance.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, he had to show it on the surface. Old Madam Jiang was still alive, and Qian's husband was her mother's brother. She couldn't just sit back and do nothing.

The only possibility was that Kieran had done something unforgivable.

Jiang Yao put down the broom, wiped her hands with her apron, walked up to Qian with a teacup, and smiled politely.

"What are you talking about? I've been busy lately, so I haven't seen you, aunt. I hope you'll forgive me."

"Sorry, sorry. If both of you are busy, please give me some of the business. Don't worry, I'm a very nice person and I will never embarrass you!"

When Qian said this, he proudly puffed out his chest, acting as if he was such a good man.

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, thinking she was hallucinating.
