Transmigrating Female Supreme: The Peerless Husband Depends on Me

Chapter 199: Brave and resourceful, daring to act and take responsibility

Her eyes lit up instantly, full of surprise, and her expression was as if she had seen a rare treasure.

She carefully stroked the light yellow gourd and moved her eyes to the glass tree next to it. It was crystal clear, exquisitely crafted, and particularly beautiful.

Magistrate Liu had been in officialdom for many years and had seen many rare treasures, but this was the first time he had seen such exquisite glassware.

Seeing this, Su Yue explained slowly, "Your Excellency the Prefect, this is something my daughter accidentally obtained from a foreign businessman.

To be honest, this thing is not worth much, but it looks quite fresh and interesting.

I thought of giving it to the prefect as a New Year gift, hoping it would add some novelty to your mansion.

I hope the prefect will like it and not despise it."

Su Yue's words were just right.

This shows that the gift is not priceless, so that Liu Zhifu will not feel any psychological pressure when accepting it.

It also showed her thoughtful and considerate side, and her high emotional intelligence was undoubtedly demonstrated.

After hearing this, Prefect Liu felt even more admiration for Su Yue, and the smile on his face became more genuine.

Magistrate Liu has been in officialdom for many years, so how could he not see the value of this thing?

She knew in her heart that this was the first time in all her years as an official that she had received such a precious and unique gift.

But she was also a shrewd person. She understood that Su Yue intended her to accept it, so she didn't act pretentiously. She followed the steps Su Yue gave her and happily accepted the gift: "Then I would like to thank Su Jieyuan for his kindness."

Afterwards, Prefect Liu gestured to Su Yue to sit down and talk, but did not prepare chairs for Liang Junze and Gu Qingyan.

Su Yue's face darkened instantly, and a hint of displeasure rose in her heart.

But she also understood that in Mingxi Country, men have always been treated with such contempt, and this was not the fault of Governor Liu alone.

Liang Junze noticed Su Yue's emotions and patted Su Yue's arm gently, indicating that they were fine.

Su Yue had no choice but to suppress her reluctance, forced a smile, and started chatting with Magistrate Liu.

"Your Excellency the Prefect, my daughter will be going to Beijing to take the imperial examination soon," said Su Yue.

Upon hearing this, Prefect Liu's eyes flashed with surprise, "Oh? Su Jieyuan is so eager. I thought you would wait for the next round."

Su Yue smiled slightly, her eyes determined, "I feel that I am well prepared and determined to win this scientific expedition, so I will participate in it one after another."

Prefect Liu carefully looked at Su Yue. Seeing her confident expression and her words full of assurance, he couldn't help but respect her attitude even more. "Seeing Su Jieyuan so confident, I think even if she is not at the top of the list, she must be on the list."

Su Yue responded modestly: "Your Excellency the Prefect is too kind. I am just doing my best. As for the outcome, it depends on God's will."

Prefect Liu nodded, and even more humbled himself, started a deep conversation with Su Yue, asking her about her preparations for the imperial examination and her views on the current situation.

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Su Yue weighed the pros and cons in his mind. He felt that the time had come, so he decided to tell the purpose of his trip himself.

She knew very well that Magistrate Liu had been in officialdom for many years and had experienced many ups and downs, so there was no need to beat around the bush. The transaction between them was originally a win-win deal, and too many twists and turns would make them seem petty and inferior.

So, Su Yue slowly stood up and saluted, and Liang Junze and Gu Qingyan also quickly stood up and saluted to Prefect Liu together.

Su Yue looked sincere, and her tone was respectful but firm: "Prefect Liu, I came to visit you today, and to be honest, I have a request for you.

I will be leaving Beijing soon, but my husband is pregnant and our child is still young. They cannot travel long distances with me, so I have no choice but to leave them in Yangzhou.

But Magistrate Liu also knew that in this world, if a man lost the protection of his wife, he would probably be bullied by others.

I am really worried about the safety of my family, so I came here to seek help from Governor Liu.

If they run into trouble while I'm away from Yangzhou, I hope the prefect can help them."

At this point, Su Yue paused and looked directly at Prefect Liu: "If my daughter is admitted to high school in the future, I will definitely repay Prefect Liu's kindness.

If I hadn't graduated from high school, I would have bought a few more new things from foreign merchants and given them to the prefect to show my appreciation.

I know very well that the prefect is fair and honest, and he will definitely not blame me for my frank words.

But my concern for my family is truly heartfelt, and I hope the prefect will grant my wish."

Su Yue's words were sincere and clear, and she not only expressed her needs but also promised corresponding rewards.

One can feel her frankness and deep affection for her family, which does not make people feel disgusted at all. Instead, it shows her high emotional intelligence and wisdom in dealing with people.

Prefect Liu really didn't expect Su Yue to be so straightforward and tell her his purpose directly without reservation.

After years of struggling in the officialdom, she was used to seeing people who spoke in a roundabout way and with hidden intentions.

But Su Yue's frankness at this moment was like a breeze that blew away the usual haze in her heart. Unexpectedly, not only was she not disgusted, but she felt an admiration for Su Yue in her heart.

Prefect Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up and down at Su Yue, and thought to himself: This Su Yue is a unique woman, brave and resourceful, and she dares to act and take responsibility.

Her requirements were really not high; for her, it was just a piece of cake.

If Su Yue is admitted to high school, my help today will be exchanged for a friendship in the future.

Even if she fails to get in, it would be a good gain if she can get some new and interesting things.

No matter what the result is, I will not lose anything.

Thinking of this, a kind smile appeared on the face of Liu Zhifu: "Su Jieyuan is so frank, I really appreciate it.

Don't worry, I will agree to your request.

From now on, if you have any family problems, feel free to come to me and I will help take care of them on a daily basis."

After that, Liu Zhifu picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "Su Jieyuan has such talent and ambition, and he cares so much about his family.

I believe that you will achieve something when you go to Beijing to take the exam this time.

When you return with your name on the imperial examination, we'll talk again."

Su Yue felt relieved after hearing Magistrate Liu's promise. She bowed and thanked him again, "Thank you, Magistrate. I will remember your kindness."

At this time, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed, and Liu Zhifu and Su Yue chatted for a few more words.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Su Yue took Liang Junze and Gu Qingyan and said goodbye and left.

After Su Yue and the others left the prefect's house, they turned around and headed for the Bai family without stopping.

When Bai Jingwen learned at home that Su Yue came to see her, she was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.

For her, appreciating Su Yue's talent and wisdom is one thing, but it is undoubtedly more rare that Su Yue can take the initiative to come to her.

She couldn't wait to go and greet him in person, her steps hurried and her skirt fluttering in the wind.

From a distance, Bai Jingwen saw Su Yue's figure, and a bright smile instantly bloomed on her face.

He immediately stepped forward and took Su Yue's arm affectionately, his voice full of surprise: "Yueyue, I didn't expect you to come to me!"
