"Let's go to Caoshi to see if Grandma Tian has returned." Song Ping said to his brothers and sisters.

"Brother, wait a minute!" Song Zhi suddenly spoke.

Song Ping paused and was about to ask the reason.

Another voice also stopped the group of people who were about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" The brothers and sisters looked in the direction where Manager Wang was speaking.

He was seen walking towards the carriage from a distance, holding a pile of paper bags in his hands. He stepped forward and said, "Our master said that we are indeed responsible for your father's injury.

"Here are a few packets of herbs that promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. They're very suitable for your father's current symptoms. Take them back and see if they're suitable for your father!"

Song Ping was an honest man and had just received five taels of silver as medical fee.

Now the other party sent some medicinal herbs, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Boss...Boss, you have already paid the consultation fee, how can I do this?"

Song Zhi said to Song Ping, "Brother, please accept it quickly. This is a token of the owner's love for your uncle. How can you refuse it?"

Upon hearing this, Song Ping hurriedly accepted the herbs and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."

Manager Wang looked at Song Zhi in surprise. She was wearing men's clothes but was actually a girl. He thought to himself, she's quite clever!

He waved his hand nonchalantly, said a few polite words to take good care of his injuries, and turned to leave.

Song Zhi caught up and gestured towards the carriage not far away, then said, "Butler Wang, could you please pass on a message for me? I need to see the daughter of the Ling family for something."

Butler Wang paused and looked at Song Zhi warily, as if he wanted to see a flower on her face.

Song Zhi was not afraid of such scrutinizing gazes.

She lowered her voice and said, "The county magistrate just said in court that no one will be allowed to harm ordinary people again. I happen to have a similar situation and would like to discuss it with the young lady in the county magistrate's house."

"In today's matter, the boss is willing to settle the matter peacefully, even going so far as to offer concessions to the tenants. This kind of benevolent and righteous act can only be done by a man of the boss's noble character!"

This girl first used the county magistrate's words to intimidate him, and then flattered his master. What was she thinking?

Is it just to see the eldest lady?

The old butler couldn't guess, and he didn't want to play the guessing game here.

He got straight to the point and said, "Madam Song, if you have something to say, you might as well speak directly."

Song Zhiqian smiled and continued, "But not everyone is as righteous as Master Wang. After all, this incident was discovered because I led the police to the farm. If someone holds a grudge..."

Steward Wang understood the hidden meaning behind Song Zhi's words and said with a gloomy face, "Madam Song, do you mean that my Wang family will take revenge for personal gain?"

Song Zhi didn't care about the other person's expression and nodded calmly, "A man as noble as Mr. Wang would certainly not do that, but do you know whether others would have such thoughts, Steward Wang?"

Steward Wang didn't know what he was thinking about, and his expression suddenly turned grim. "What exactly do you want to do?"

Song Zhi ignored the other person's ugly expression and replied with a sincere smile, "Housekeeper Wang, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to complain to the young lady of the Ling Mansion!"

Now that he knew that the person following him was sent by the owner of Wang's Pastry Shop.

She also learned that the shopkeeper had a relationship with the manager of the farm, and she also learned some information from the little beggar.

By piecing together the information, Song Zhi was able to analyze who was the mastermind behind the people who followed her today.

If it was just the manager of the pastry shop who did it, she wouldn't have anything to fear, she would just have to be careful and cautious in her actions.

But if the head of the Wang family is involved, the person is in the Wang family's backyard, and how much power will she use to deal with her?

Although Song Zhi didn't know what was going on at the moment, from what she had heard these days, she knew that the current head of the Wang family was not a tolerant person.

This time, I took the lead and slapped her in the face, which might have caused her to lose face at home.

Song Zhi thought that this person would probably hate her as the instigator.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

She observed that since this young lady was willing to come to the county government office in person to observe the trial today, she must be very concerned about family affairs.

In addition, her father died in battle defending the city, so Song Zhi had reason to believe that this young lady must be a good person.

She thought so and made a request to meet Wang Wanzhi.

Regardless, she is not one to sit still and wait for death.

Since the other party dared to send someone to follow her, she would find someone to deal with him.

It just depends on who moves faster!

After a long silence, Butler Wang finally said, "You wait!" Then he walked towards the carriage not far away.

After asking for the eldest lady's opinion, Butler Wang returned and said, "Follow me, my lady invites you!"

Song Ping and others who were standing by saw the younger sister whispering with Butler Wang for a while, and then Butler Wang left with a sullen face.

After a while, he came back and whispered something to his younger sister.

Then the younger sister turned around and asked them to wait for a moment, and followed Butler Wang to the carriage parked not far away.

Song Zhi walked to the Wang family's carriage, where a smart maid had been waiting.

She gently lowered the pedal and softly invited him to get into the carriage.

Song Zhi smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you!"

Then, with the help of the pedals, he climbed onto the carriage steadily in three or two steps.

After Song Zhi walked into the carriage, the maid who had been guarding the shaft immediately lowered the curtain, and the light in the carriage dimmed instantly.

But it didn't hinder Song Zhi's vision.

The interior of the carriage is decorated in a simple yet warm style, with soft cushions and several exquisite pastries placed on the small table.

Wang Wanzhi was sitting upright in front of the desk. She had a gentle face, an upright posture, and her eyes revealed the dignity and gentleness unique to a lady from a noble family.

Seeing Song Zhi get on the car, Wang Wanzhi smiled slightly and asked Song Zhi to sit opposite her. Her every gesture showed her good manners and grace.

While Song Zhi was looking at her, Wang Wanzhi was also looking at the girl with clear features and wearing men's clothes without any expression.

There was a hint of inquiry in Wang Wanzhi's eyes.

She rarely saw a farmer's girl with such clear eyes and no shyness.

After a moment, she was the first to ask, "I heard from Butler Wang that you want to complain to me? Who do you want to complain to?"
