Mrs. Meng entered the government office and went straight to her master's office.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw County Magistrate Zhong handling official business, but Su Yu was nowhere to be seen. "Husband, where is Su Yu?"

County Magistrate Zhong stood up hurriedly and said, "Madam, why are you here? Please sit down." As he said that, he brought a chair for his wife.

Mrs. Meng sat down directly and said anxiously: "Come on, tell me, there are still those bastards who bullied my daughter. Why aren't you anxious at all? If I hadn't heard the news, when would you tell me?"

County Magistrate Zhong's face darkened, "Don't worry, Madam. Those three bastards who bullied my daughter have been beaten with a stick by me and thrown into jail."

Mrs. Meng asked doubtfully: "Have those three confessed their guilt?"

"Yes, several people have signed and sealed the agreement, and a group of old women have also been arrested. However, this matter will damage my daughter's reputation, so I have just sent people to quietly deal with them."

Mrs. Meng also nodded in agreement, "That's right, so as to avoid more trouble at night. It's better to solve it as soon as possible. But what about Song Xuanzhi's family? Will they come to the yamen and make a scene?"

County Magistrate Zhong thought about it for a while. He didn't want to hurt innocent people, otherwise the best way would be to kill them directly, which would be the safest. So he said: "I will send someone to send them away far away, and don't let them return to Taohua County."

Mrs. Meng also said: "That's fine."

Mrs. Meng asked again, "My husband, you haven't replied to me just now. Where is Su Yu? Did she leave?" As she spoke, she looked around.

County Magistrate Zhong sighed and said a little jealously: "Madam really likes Su Yu."

Mrs. Meng replied seriously: "My husband, to be honest, I think that child is destined to be with our family. Look at him, he saved Xuan'er and our precious daughter twice. He is our family's benefactor, otherwise..."

Otherwise, just thinking about her youngest son's early death and her daughter being insulted would make her feel terrible.

At this time, County Magistrate Zhong also felt that what his wife said was right, "Then let's prepare the gifts today, and we will go to the Su Mansion in person to express our gratitude tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

After finishing the conversation about the serious matters, Mrs. Meng said again: "My husband, I think Su Yu is a really good kid, kind-hearted and handsome. How about our two families become relatives?"

Nanny Yun, who had been standing behind her without saying a word, interrupted and said, "Didn't Madam say last time that Young Master Su is a few years younger than the eldest lady, so she would not consider Young Master Su?"

County Magistrate Zhong also said: "Besides, Su Yu doesn't even have the title of scholar now, how can he be worthy of our daughter?" After all, men are always more realistic than women, and interests are always the top priority.

Mrs. Meng retorted: "I am the daughter of the Minister of Works, but I still married a poor student like you."

County Magistrate Zhong said excitedly: "How can they be the same?"

Mrs. Meng was also unconvinced, "Why is it different?"

"Madam, I had already passed the imperial examination at that time, and we fell in love with each other at first sight, that's why the Meng family agreed to marry you to me."

"Hmph, I am very optimistic about Su Yu. He will definitely pass the imperial examination." Mrs. Meng turned her head away and didn't want to look at her husband.

Seeing his wife like this, County Magistrate Zhong had no choice but to find a way out. He said: "Okay, okay, I can't convince you, so you have to go back and ask your daughter if she is willing."

Mrs. Meng then said: "My husband is right. I will go back and ask..." Then she left in a hurry with Nanny Yun.

Constable Xu Yan standing by sighed: "Madam really likes Mr. Su."

County Magistrate Zhong, “………”

"How's County Magistrate Yang doing lately?"

"Recently in the yamen, he has been more cautious in his work and no loopholes have been found."

"Keep watching him. He must be involved in Qiao'er's affairs."

However, he would not let him have an easy time in the county government. No matter how powerful he was as a local tyrant, he could not stop the higher-ranking officials from crushing him. After all, he was his superior.

At this time, Su Yu didn't know that not long after he broke off one marriage, another marriage was already on the way waiting for him.

Time passed quickly and it was evening. As soon as Su Yu finished his dinner, he found an excuse and said that he met an old Taoist when he went out. The Taoist said that he had a connection with him and the old Taoist gave him a pill, saying that it could cure his illness.

Su Yu put the medicine in his sister's hand and said, "Sister, please take the medicine quickly."

Su Wanwan looked at the pill in her hand that emitted a faint elixir fragrance and swallowed it obediently. Su Wanwan felt that this medicine might really be a miracle drug. As soon as she swallowed it, she felt her body was much more relaxed. She looked at her brother with gratitude in her peach blossom eyes and said, "Thank you, brother."

Seeing that his sister finally took the pill, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's my duty. No need to thank me. We are brother and sister, be good."

But Su Yu heard Mrs. Jiang asking again: "Which Taoist is it? What's his name?"

In fact, Mrs. Jiang thought that Su Yu had met Taoist Master Gui Qingzi, so she asked this question.

But Su Yu had no idea of the Taoist's Dharma name, so he could only make it up, "I don't know the Taoist's name, and he didn't tell me, but he looks like an immortal."

"So that's how it is," the Empress Dowager thought to herself. Taoist Gui Qingzi really had an immortal air, so it was very likely that he was the one. She would have to go to the Taoist temple another day.

Su Yu was afraid that his grandmother would ask him something else, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, grandmother, sister, I still have a few books to read, so I'll take my leave first."

Su's mother said gently: "Go, take care of your eyes and don't work too hard."

"Yes, son will pay attention to it," Su Yu said and walked out of the flower hall.

After Su Yu finished all these, he went straight back to the study and asked the puppet in his mind, "Puppet, why did I get five extra points for saving Miss Zhong today? Usually, I only get one point for saving a life. Is she also an important person?"

The puppet said: "It shouldn't be. It may be that the host's arrival completely changed her ending, so she has so many merits."

"So that's how it is," Su Yu murmured...

At the same time, in the Zhong Mansion, the personal servant Jin Quan rushed into the room and said, "Master, something bad has happened. I just sent Bing to the cousin's yard and heard that your aunt is going to find a husband for the cousin tomorrow."

Hearing this, Meng Shuchen, who was playing chess with someone, paused for a moment, and the black piece landed casually on a square on the chessboard, "Which one do you want to see?"

"I heard it was Su Yu, the eldest son of the Su family."

"What?" Meng Shuchen's usually stern face now looked very surprised.

How could Su Yu be worthy of his cousin? His cousin was kind and gentle, and had excellent cooking skills. Moreover, Su Yu's reputation was not good. Why would his aunt let him look at his cousin? Was it because he saved Xuan'er?

"It's actually him?" Zhong Wenchuan, holding the white pieces, looked at his brother opposite him. It was the first time he saw his expression like that, it was really interesting.

"Brother Shuchen, aren't you going to do something?"
