Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

"I know. That will be a different price."

At this moment, anger surged in her heart. Xu Siyu didn't know what price she would have to pay, but as long as she could afford it, she would do it without hesitation.

"Deal." Sima Yang already knew something about it. For the sake of food and grass, she had to fight.

After seeing Sima Yang off, Xu Siyu didn't get up from her seat for a long time.

A huge regret surged in her heart.

The weight of sadness once again weighed down on her, so heavy that she couldn't move her hands or feet.

Lin Yiqing walked to her side, saw that she was in distress, and reached out to carry her back to the main house.

Leaning on Lin Yiqing, Xu Siyu held him tightly, as if holding a piece of driftwood to prevent her from sinking.

During this period, Lin Yiqing and the children stayed with her. Xu Siyu seemed calm, but in fact she had not yet gotten over the death of Xu Wangshi.

"Qingqing, your mother-in-law hopes that you live a happy and fulfilling life." Lin Yiqing hugged her and continued to comfort her.

"Yes. I know." My mind was clear, but my heart was out of control.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Xu Siyu was completely unable to sleep.

In the extreme darkness, one fact is relatively clear: the Changjia Prefecture government office may have prevented the Xu family from finding the truth.

Why didn’t you suspect the county government?

One reason was because of Hong Wenju's character, and the other was that during the time when the reward was offered, a lot of theft cases suddenly occurred in the county government office. Prefect Fu asked County Magistrate Hong to use all manpower on ordinary civil cases, and mentioned the Xu family's case, and asked the government office to investigate the murderer.

Xu Siyu believed what Sima Yang said, that many people were monitoring her.

The Xu family couldn't see that the people in the government office couldn't even find out this, which would be a laughing stock.

Or maybe they were the ones who were monitoring the Xu family.

But apart from the transaction of 320 shi between her and Prefect Fu, she had not heard him make any new demands on her.

If it's really for grain seeds, shouldn't they make an effort to ask for a price first?

Could it be that the prefect really was a bandit and wanted to rob?

This is very unlike the Prefect Fu that Xu Siyu knew.

If he is not the murderer, then why should he cover up for the murderer?

Xu Siyu smiled bitterly. The fragrance of power made wolves disguise themselves as sheep and kill people invisibly...

That night, Xu Siyu kept talking to herself. This was her favorite way to organize her thoughts.

Xu Siyu didn't want to be buried in the guilt. She still had family members, so she needed to be more sober, more sober...

Sima Yang was very efficient and came to see Xu Siyu after only two days.

This time, Xu Siyu had sorted out her emotions and was not as excited as the day before.

In the study, the brazier was still placed next to Xu Siyu, the firelight reflected on her face, and her determined eyes showed that she would not show weakness easily.

The window was open, and the wind, which was colder than the day before, blew into people's necks. Sima Yang felt a shiver and unconsciously wanted to move closer to Xu Siyu.

"The four people who attacked that night are all dead. The reins were cut with a sharp weapon, and the method must have been used by someone who had served in the military. In addition, I pulled out a few nails in front of your door. I can only say that the prefect of your place knows a lot, but he should already know that you know."

Sima Yang did it on purpose.

Xu Siyu wondered if she acted too weak, making everyone think she was easy to bully.

"Miss Sima, you are as brave as any man. You are already playing with people's hearts at such a young age."

"You..." Isn't it better to just keep your identity secret? Why do you have to expose her? "I found a clue for you, isn't it time to give me some grain seeds?"

"Oh? Miss Sima just said that the murderer is dead, so you didn't kill him. You said Fu Hexiang knew a lot, but you weren't sure if he was the murderer. Does that mean you've found the real culprit?"

Xu Siyu slowly poured Sima Yang a cup of hot tea.

"Miss Sima exposed me to the prefect in order to bargain with me. Was she planning to drive them crazy and then play the savior? Am I right, Miss Sima?"

Xu Siyu's mood is stable today and her IQ is also online.

Sima Yang's face froze. After a pause, he suddenly became serious and said, "I can continue to help you find the murderer and kill him, but you must promise to give me grain seeds."

Impulsive, young people are too impulsive. Xu Siyu shook her head.

Xu Siyu reflected on herself and found that Sima Yang's temper at this moment was too similar to that of a few years ago.

No wonder Xu Siyu had an inexplicable liking for her the moment he saw her.

Xu Siyu spoke slowly and deliberately, completely different from the words she had said the day before when she wanted to skin the murderer alive and tear his tendons out: "Whoever I kill, my mother will never come back."

"Then forget it?" Sima Yang was puzzled. Her relatives were gone, and her greatest wish in life was revenge. Unfortunately, her enemy was too powerful, so she had to proceed slowly according to her father's plan.

To store up food is the revenge mission given to her by her father.

If this person doesn't want revenge, how else can she get more grain seeds?

How can we forget it?

Xu Siyu wanted to take it slow: "Help me pull out the nails first, and I'll count the heads as 100 stones."

"Human head? You think I'm a thug, but do you know that I'm..." Sima Yang stopped talking halfway through his words.

"Who are you?" Xu Siyu hoped she could be honest.

Honesty is the prerequisite for cooperation. Although honesty does not necessarily lead to complete trust, it is the cornerstone for the beginning of another relationship.

She didn't want to say it, which meant that the time was not right yet and Xu Siyu didn't force her.

"You are so annoying, aren't you afraid that they will become desperate and attack you again?" Sima Yang changed his words and tried to comfort Xu Siyu.

"I'm afraid. But isn't Miss Sima here? Do you want some grain seeds?"

Everyone wanted her grain.

And she has always been available to work with.

As long as there is mutual respect and mutual benefit.

Xu Siyu likes Sima Yang very much. She is still a little girl, very innocent and doesn't have so many bad intentions.

What matters is that she has the ability to help her.

No matter what she was planning, it was none of Xu Siyu's business. Xu Siyu believed that "the winner is the king, the loser is the enemy", and history would give the best answer.

At this moment, she just needed to deal with the person who had already attacked her.

Those long-term things can only take second place in her life.

The carjacking took place in August, and Sima Yang bought the grain seeds in June. If he wanted to see the actual harvest, it would have to be the end of September.

She wouldn't take action against her without clear benefits.

The carjacking should have nothing to do with her.

In order to get the grain, she had been negotiating with her, and all she mentioned were methods of purchase or exchange of benefits.

Xu Siyu thought they could cooperate temporarily.

Jiangling, Linjiang Palace.

Linjiang Prince's Consort Jiang was discussing Yuyang's marriage with her younger uncle, Linjiang Prince Meng Shuci.

Her son, the "Crown Prince" of Prince Linjiang, was held hostage in Beijing and could only return to Jiangling after the current Prince Linjiang died.
