It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

Song Zhi did not answer directly, but talked about the generous act of the Wang family in the court just now.

"The master is so kind and tolerant, so after much thought, I still think it's best to inform the young lady first."

"Before that, I would like to ask, have you dealt with the shopkeeper at home?"

"If the young lady is unwilling to intervene in such matters, I can ask the county magistrate to make the decision."

"But by then, there will be no room for return."

In fact, Song Zhi was not afraid of the manager, she was worried that the shopkeeper had someone behind him.

Arresting a shopkeeper does not solve the actual problem.

Song Zhi didn't want to attract any more hatred.

She simply looked for an ally for herself.

Firstly, if the shopkeeper is also involved in this matter, it would be much easier for him to stop it.

Secondly, if there is someone else behind this incident, then her best choice now is to find an opponent for the other party so that the other party will no longer have time to care about her.

In this way, she can protect herself.

There's nothing we can do. Who told her to be so weak now?

If she can avoid a direct confrontation with the other party, she will still choose a safer approach.

After all, I am just a very small role to the other party.

There are many ways to harm her family without making any noise.

Although it hasn't reached this point yet, Song Zhi believes that if she rushes up again to confront the shopkeeper.

Maybe next time it wouldn't be as simple as just following her on the street.

Now the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, and she has no idea what kind of opponent she will face.

She still chose the safest method to protect herself.

After all, life is only once, so she still cherishes it very much.

Wang Wanzhi frowned and looked at Song Zhi, "Are you trying to intimidate me? What exactly do you want to do?"

Song Zhi denied it, "Miss, do you really think so? If I really wanted to threaten you, I wouldn't have the audacity to ask for an audience!"

"Miss, do you really want to see your Wang family's good reputation ruined like this? Lingzun's noble spirit of sacrificing his life for justice being squandered like this?"

Wang Wanzhi clutched the cushion beneath her and asked, suppressing her anger, "Why do you miss my Wang family so much?"

Song Zhi asked seriously, "Miss Wang, do you think I'm exaggerating?"

"Miss Wang, perhaps due to your status, you haven't been out in public. Why don't you go to the shops along the street and ask about your Wang family's shop's domineering behavior in the county?"

"Just look at the vinegar shop I saw in the west of the city. Just because its vinegar is so good, your Wang family can find someone to compete with it. Let's just talk business, so I probably can't say much about it."

"But regarding the matter of the mansion's treasurer sending people to follow me today, if I directly approach the inspector or the county magistrate and cooperate with him to directly uncover the person behind the scenes, I think the county magistrate will definitely be happy to do so!"

Wang Wanzhi was shocked. She stared at Song Zhi with wide eyes and asked in disbelief, "Is everything you said true?"

Song Zhi looked back with a clear and honest look in her eyes. "Why would I lie to Miss Wang? What good would it do me?"

Wang Wanzhi saw that his expression did not seem fake, and when she thought of what Butler Wang had said about the manager of the farm, she couldn't help but frown.

She frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "The shopkeeper you're talking about is the shopkeeper of my Wang Family Cake Shop?"

"Miss, you are smart. This is the man!"

Wang Wanzhi pondered for a moment and then promised, "Since he sent someone to follow you, it will be easy for him to get evidence against you. When I return, I will report this to my grandfather and have him investigate. If he truly has committed any wrongdoing, my Wang family will punish him severely."

Song Zhi pleaded, "I'm just an ordinary citizen. Please don't involve me when you deal with this shopkeeper!"

She laughed bitterly and said, "Regarding the matter of the farm steward, the Wang family's shopkeeper sent someone to follow me today. If it's because of me again, the steward will also be punished."

"If this is held against me by narrow-minded people again, I, a powerless peasant girl, will not be able to cope with it. I have no choice but to seek help from the county magistrate!"

Ivana Wong obviously didn't expect the other party to say that, "Are you threatening me?"

Song Zhi smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I'm just reminding you."

Then she sighed, "It's also my fault for being timid. Because of what happened with my uncle and cousin, I live in fear every day, like I'm suffering from paranoia."

"Today, I was being followed again. I felt really uneasy. After much thought, I decided to report it to the young lady."

"After all, your father was a man of high righteousness who sacrificed his life for his country to protect the people. I believe his daughter is no less righteous. She will certainly not sit idly by and watch us being treated unfairly again!"

After being bombarded with flattery from Song Zhi, Wang Wanzhi's expression finally looked a little better.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Ivana Wong had to admit that the other party's concerns were right.

Second Aunt seems to be very nice on the surface, but she is actually a very petty person.

If it happens again because of Song Zhi, her boss will be killed.

She could foresee how Second Aunt would vent her anger on the person in front of her.

After Wang Wanzhi pondered for a moment, she asked, "Since you've come to tell me this, I think you must have some plans in mind. What do you want me to do?"

Song Zhi thought for a moment and asked, "Young Miss, can't you transfer the steward far away from this county first?"

Song Zhi still felt that she had to act quickly. Without knowing whether there was someone behind the person, she decided to take down the manager first.

Let him take care of himself and have no time to cause trouble for her.

Wang Wanzhi shook her head. "Second Aunt is in charge of the shop now. You said you don't want to be implicated. If you want to touch the shopkeeper, you must have a suitable excuse."

Otherwise, not only would her second aunt not agree, but even her grandfather would not approve of her.

Song Zhi choked. Yes, it is not that easy to deal with someone. There must be solid evidence.

Only in this way can we win the support of the people.

Song Zhi thought about it, then said, "Then Miss, do you have any useful personnel? Send them out to investigate the shopkeeper first. Isn't it possible to find him wrong?"

Anyway, Song Zhi didn't believe it.

To Song Zhi's surprise, Wang Wanzhi actually shook her head. She said sadly, "Since you don't want to bring yourself out, I don't have anyone around me right now!"

Song Zhi was stunned. "Have you ever thought about training your own people?"

She said sadly, "My parents met with an accident while in office, and all the loyal servants who were with them at the time died."

"Because of my parents' tragic death, I was deeply saddened and fell ill for a long time. As a result, I didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the palace..."

"This time, my grandfather suddenly fell ill, and that's when I learned about this kind of thing happening in our family!"

She also regretted that she shouldn't have just indulged in sadness.

Now that Second Aunt is in charge, she has cleaned up all the personnel in the house. It’s too late for her to come to her senses now!
