If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Shen Sui'an had experienced the situation where Liu Guanjia's servants bullied their master and occupied her farm.

However, the way she handled things in her previous life was not so simple and direct. At that time, she wanted to win over her servants while maintaining her reputation as a generous and virtuous person, so she was too kind to Butler Liu.

So for a long time she was unable to get her farm back, and was even teased by Mrs. Lu for being incompetent.

Even a concubine's maid could easily control her.

This time, Shen Sui'an didn't want to suffer any humiliation at all.

She had everything in the main courtyard thrown away and the walls renovated, leaving no trace of anyone having lived there.

She is staying in the side yard temporarily tonight.

"Madam, how do you want to deal with the servants who offended you?" Shi Qing asked in a low voice.

Shen Sui'an said calmly, "Send them to the authorities. Remember to do it in a grand manner so that the tenants outside can see it. Also spread the news that Manager Liu and his wife have been locked up and are about to be dealt with."

Shi Qing was a smart man and immediately understood what Shen Sui'an meant.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Shen Sui'an felt refreshed.

With Lu Yuan as her husband, the commander of the Pacification Division, others would be afraid of his bad reputation outside.

She will have many opportunities to rely on his power in the future.

Shen Sui'an placed her hand on her lower abdomen. It would probably take half a year for her to deal with all the obstacles. It would be best if she could have her own child by then.

"Madam, it's getting late. Are you not used to sleeping in bed?" Mu Jin, who was on night watch, asked in a low voice.

"No, I'm fine. You should go to sleep too." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

There are still many things to deal with tomorrow, it's time to go to bed.

Shen Sui'an slept very comfortably.

Until the morning light shone through the sky, casting a layer of brilliant colors over Zhuangzi.

"What's the noise outside?" Shen Sui'an was having a meal when he heard faint noises from outside.

"At dawn today, dozens of tenant farmers came and knelt at the door, asking the young lady to make a decision for them." Mu Jin said in a low voice.

Shen Sui'an was not surprised. "What did you say?"

"They sued Manager Liu for occupying their fertile land, taking the rent from their fertile land and only giving them wasteland, and also requiring them to hand over the grain from the fertile land every year..." Mu Jin said in a low voice.

"How dare you, how shameless and heartless you are." Banjian cursed.

"Go and bring Liu Chaoshui over, and let the tenants elect three representatives." Shen Suian ordered.

After being detained for a night, Liu Chaoshui and his wife no longer had the arrogance they had yesterday.

"Tell me, who did you give the one hundred acres of fertile land in my farm to?" Shen Sui'an glanced at Liu Chaoshui and asked coldly.

"Girl, I didn't do anything. It's unfair. Who is gossiping in front of you?" Liu Chaoshui was shocked. When was this discovered?

Isn't it said that Aunt Cheng is the mistress of the Shen Mansion? How can such a powerful eldest daughter allow Aunt Cheng to show off her power at home?

Liu Chaoshui regretted surrendering to Aunt Cheng.

Shen Sui'an ignored him and asked someone to bring in the tenant representatives.

As soon as Liu Chaoshui saw them, his eyes became fierce.

"You dare to act violently in front of me, are you thinking that I dare not do anything to you? Without evidence, would I know about the one hundred acres of fertile land?" Shen Suian asked.

"Miss, I'm the Xiao family's roommate for the wife..." Liu Chaoshui moved out of the Xiao family.

Shen Sui'an laughed, "You occupied my farm's fertile land for Aunt Cheng, and now you dare to say that you are from the Xiao family when you are about to die."

"Don't you know that my uncle is still in Beijing?"

"Do you think you can survive if your uncle knows what you have done?"

Liu Chaoshui really didn't know that the Xiao family had come to Beijing, and he immediately turned pale with fright.

Shen Sui'an knew very well what Liu Chaoshui had done. The account books he handed in every year were all fake. There was another one hidden under his bed, and she asked Shi Qing to find it yesterday.

The tenants around had long been oppressed and were miserable. Before, they were afraid that Liu Chaoshui had a powerful backer, but when they heard yesterday that Liu Chaoshui had been punished, those tenants could no longer sit still.

"Who owns my fertile land now?" Shen Suian asked softly.

At this moment, Liu Chaoshui no longer felt that the eldest daughter of the Shen family was weak and easy to bully.

"It's...it's in Master Cheng's hands, girl. It's none of my business. It was Aunt Cheng who asked me to do this." Liu Chaoshui kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Send the couple to the government, then report to the authorities and sue the Cheng family for stealing my fertile land." Shen Sui'an said to Shi Qing.

Shi Qing: "Young Madam, there is no need to trouble the government. I will ask the Pacification Bureau to handle this matter. It will be faster than the government in handling cases."

Shen Sui'an: "This... can we mobilize the Pacification Bureau for such a small matter?"

"How can the young lady's affairs be a trivial matter?" Shi Qing said.

When Liu Chaoshui heard the word "Zhuanfusi", his legs trembled and he burst into tears out of fear.

"Okay." Shen Sui'an nodded with a smile. If the problem could be solved quickly, she would of course like to do it faster.

Shen Sui'an looked at the tenants with a gentle gaze: "When the good farmland is returned, I will rent it to you again and exempt you from the rent for three years."

The tenants did not expect such a surprise. They knelt down and kowtowed, calling the Buddha.

"You go back first and tell other farmers this news. They don't have to hand over this year's harvest. It will all be yours," said Shen Sui'an.

"Thank you, young lady. Good people will be rewarded. You will be healthy and live a long life with many children and grandchildren."

What a simple wish.

After the tenant left, Shen Sui'an asked other servants in the farm to come and receive errands.

She chose a deacon who was guarding the orchard by Liu Chaoshui to be the manager. This person was also promoted by her in her previous life.

He is very capable and loyal to her.

He couldn't stand Liu Chaoshui deceiving his master and had been trying to expose it, but his family was threatened, so he didn't dare to leave the manor.

As for the people related to Liu Chaoshui, they were all replaced by her.

In less than a day, the mental outlook of all Zhuangzi's servants was extremely different.

Shi Qing secretly admired the young lady's ability to get things done. Her swift and decisive approach was too similar to that of a commander.

"Madam, when are we going to the other farm?" Ban Jian asked.

"No need to go. Tell other farms what happened here and ask their managers to come to me with the account books in three days." Shen Sui'an said.

She has made an example of someone trying to scare the monkeys. I believe any smart person would know what to do.

What's more, she also borrowed the power of the Pacification Office.

Who is not afraid of Commander Lu?

Everyone is afraid.

She is Lu Yuan's wife. Now that she has the support of her powerful husband, who would dare to continue to fool her?

I feel very happy.

"Mu Jin, send someone to the Qu family and invite Miss Qu to stay at the farm for two days." Shen Sui'an said.

She wanted to go horseback riding, but it would be boring to go alone, so it would be best to ask Qu Qingli to keep her company.

"Yes, young mistress."

The news of Shen Suian's handling of Liu Chaoshui and his wife and the liquidation of Zhuangzi soon reached Aunt Cheng's ears.

Because her brother was arrested by the Pacification Office.

The Cheng family came to her for help, thinking that the commander of the Pacification Division was the son-in-law of the Shen family, and that they could release the people with just a word from Shen Jianglin.

After finding out that it was related to Shen Sui'an, Aunt Cheng knew that even if Shen Jianglin spoke up, the Pacification Office might not release her brother.

"That bitch Shen Suian, why didn't she kill her back then!" Aunt Cheng gnashed her teeth in anger.

"Go to the front yard to invite the master." Aunt Cheng was under house arrest and could only ask her maid to go and invite people.

The only one she can count on now is Shen Jianglin.

I hope he can still have some dignity as a father-in-law in front of Lu Yuan.
