After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 195 Things Happen One by One

Shen Huai'en had long disliked Yang Lingzhao. Apart from having a father who was a prefect, this man was really useless. Yet he still felt good about himself. If he had a tail, it would have been so high up in the sky.

Yang Lingzhao did not miss the disdain in his eyes and was about to explode with anger, but Shen Nanzhi had already started to chase him away: "I'm busy here, go and play by yourself."

Yang Lingzhao was unable to catch his breath. Are you coaxing the child?

But he didn't dare to get angry and walked away angrily, really like a child who never grew up.

"When will this guy leave? This isn't his home, does he plan to live here permanently?"

Shen Nanzhi said: "We have used him to achieve our goals, so it's not easy to chase him away. After all, he has a good father. Nowadays, being able to reincarnate is also an advantage. Just be patient, it will be over soon."

Shen Nanzhi was coaxing Shen Huai'en again, and he had to coax them all. What was going on?

Seeing Jin Xuan'er, he was horrified: "How many days have you been away? You look as if you had a miscarriage. What happened?"

Shen Huai'en: "..."

"I'm going to go out first, you guys chat."

He was really embarrassed to listen to women's topics. They were so explosive as soon as they opened their mouths that it made him blush.

With a cry, Jin Xuan'er hugged her waist and cried: "Sister Nanzhi, you must help me, I can't live anymore..."

"Oh my, is your father going to marry you to an old man? How can you not live? Be good, don't cry, and talk to me if you have something to say."

Jin Xuan'er cried enough before she let go of Shen Nanzhi's waist. Her tears and snot were smeared on her clothes. Shen Nanzhi used all her restraint not to push her away.

Oh, it’s really a sin. She just coaxes people all day long.

After getting some water to wipe his face and drinking a cup of tea, Jin Xuan'er calmed down and said, "That bastard Jiang Chen actually threatened my grandfather. If my grandfather knew that he had seen my body, he would definitely kill me. What should I do?"

Shen Nanzhi's face was gloomy. "He is so brave. He is not done yet."

"I didn't expect that. My mother said that there was an aunt in our family who eloped with someone and was strangled to death. The family's reputation is the most important thing. The death of a few daughters is nothing!"

Shen Nanzhi was silent. This kind of thing was not uncommon in ancient times. The more reputable a family was, the more ruthless they were in dealing with things. They depended on their reputation to survive. If their reputation was damaged, it would be more painful than killing them.

Not to mention that women have a low status, so no one would really feel sad if they died.

"Don't be afraid, then make Jiang Chen afraid to speak."

Jin Xuan'er trembled as she unbuttoned her clothes, revealing a red mole as big as a soybean. "He must have seen it. If he tells others, I really can't wash it off even if I jump into the Yellow River."

Shen Nanzhi looked at her mole, which was not a conspicuous red, but a light red. She smiled and said, "This is not a difficult thing. Wait a moment, I'll get something."

Take out your own liquid foundation from the space, put it in the rouge box, and dip some liquid foundation directly with your fingers. After a few times, the color of the pink mole will no longer be visible.

Thanks to the power of modern cosmetics, pockmarks can be made into flawless skin, so a mere mole is no problem at all.

Jin Xuan'er was surprised and said, "It's really gone. What is this thing? It's so useful?"

"It will be gone after you take a shower. Be careful when you put on clothes so it doesn't get rubbed off. It's still okay to cover it up when necessary."

With a solution, Jin Xuaner finally smiled, "Thank you so much, sister. I can finally live."

Shen Nanzhi: "The most important thing is to deal with that bastard Jiang Chen. He is so despicable."

"Well, I wish I could cut him into pieces now."

Feeling relieved, Jin Xuan'er felt a little tired. Shen Nanzhi asked her to have a good rest and left her room.

It just so happened that Yang Lingzhao also wanted to deal with Jiang Chen. This guy was courting death. He had offended so many important people. How many lives does he have?

"I'm going back to the city, Huai En, you stay and take care of it."

"I'll go back with you."

"No, there are so many things going on in the village, one of us has to keep watch."

Shen Huai'en had no choice but to nod: "Then be careful."

"It's okay, don't worry about me, just take care of yourself. If anyone wants to buy sweet potatoes or potatoes, just sell them and pay for them."

"I know, don't worry."

Shen Nanzhi left as soon as he said he would, riding back to the city in just over half an hour.

When entering the city gate, they were blocked by a caravan. Shen Nanzhi patiently waited in line and accidentally saw the leader of the caravan, who had a baby face full of smiles. He was shocked. Why was it him?

He quickly lowered his head to avoid his attention. The leader turned out to be the killer who had once hunted down Huai En. He disguised himself as a policeman and came to question him. Shen Nanzhi had a deep memory of his appearance.

Judging from his current attire, he seems like the young master of a caravan, with a man dressed as a shopkeeper accompanying him and serving him attentively.

After the caravan entered, Shen Nanzhi slowly followed them into the city, paid the entrance fee, and tried to get close to the guard at the city gate: "Young man, where did this caravan come from? We don't have any special products here, and we've never seen a caravan before!"

After stuffing a purse, the officer said, "Miss Shen, there was nothing there before, but there is now. The sweet potatoes and corn in your village are very famous. The caravan is well-informed and is probably coming for your village."

Shen Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat. If this was the case, it would be troublesome. He asked again, "Where did this caravan come from? They are so well-informed, they must not be ordinary people."

"Well, you are right. It is the Cheng family in the capital. The Cheng family is the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. They have a noble concubine and a prince. They are the favorites of the emperor. They are one of the most important families in the capital."

"Oh, the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, Lord Marquis, it's really amazing, thank you, I'm going in."

"Hey, Miss Shen, take care. Can you save some seeds of your sweet potatoes and corn for me? My grandfather is also a farmer. Let him plant some next year so we can harvest more food."

"No problem. I'll ask the butler to keep it for you later. Just tell me the amount."

These people guarding the city gates are also familiar with Shen Nanzhi. Now she is a celebrity in the county, and people she doesn't know can recognize her.

Shen Nanzhi was gentle and generous to everyone, and these low-level servants all liked her very much.

The caravan directly rented a yard to live in, which attracted the attention of many people in the city and created another bustling scene.

Shen Nanzhi returned home and ran into Aunt Niu. She almost bumped into her. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. "Aunt, what happened?"

Aunt Niu burst into tears, "Nanzhi, your Uncle Niu is such a worry, I even want him to die, it really makes me mad, it's such a disgrace, I don't even have the face to talk to you about it."

"Tell me slowly, what happened to Uncle Niu?"

She let her in and poured some tea. Aunt Niu wiped her face and said, "Someone from the government office took him away. Widow Lin accused him of rape."

"What? No way, Uncle Niu is not that kind of person."

Shen Nanzhi might have believed it before, but now Uncle Niu has changed his ways and is not in a good mood towards Widow Lin, so why would he do that to her?

Although Uncle Niu sometimes makes the same mistake as all men, and loses control of women when they come to him, he will not be so mean as to bully women.

"Don't worry, Auntie. We can't just listen to her one-sided story. I'll go ask around. I have acquaintances in the county government. The key is still with this widow Lin."

Aunt Niu nodded, "This man is a scumbag. He knew she was not a decent person, but he still tried to get close to her. Now he has been cheated. He deserves it. He should suffer a lot in prison. Let's see if he dares to covet the young widow again."

"Don't say such angry words. The prison is cold and gloomy. People who stay in there for too long will develop chronic diseases. Then you will be the one who will feel bad."

Aunt Niu was obviously worried. After all, they were still the original couple, how could she really not care?

"Go back and prepare bedding, food, and some silver to make sure Uncle Niu stays in there comfortably. I'll go find Magistrate Cao first."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"and many more."

Shen Nanzhi gave her a hundred taels of silver and said, "Those jailers are very greedy. Give them more bribes. I always feel that it is a bit strange to arrest someone. It seems that things are not that simple."

Shen Nanzhi suddenly thought of Master Ning Wu. Could it be that he was plotting against her?

Otherwise, how could a widow like Lin dare to go to the government to file a complaint?

He had a falling out with Master Ning Wu, and before he had time to deal with him, this guy actually took action first. A cold look flashed in Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

If Master Ning Wu was behind this, it would definitely be more than just locking someone up.

Aunt Niu still had several dozen taels of silver in her hand, which she originally thought was not a small amount. After Shen Nanzhi said this, she did not hesitate and said, "Okay, I'll lend it to you. When that damned guy comes back, I'll show you how I'll deal with him."

Aunt Niu left in a hurry. Now that I had a backbone, I felt full of strength again.

As these things happened one after another, Shen Nanzhi first found Liao Baojia, who sold herbal tea, and sent a letter to Shen Huai'en, telling him to be careful because the killer who was chasing him was here again, and to hide if the situation seemed wrong.

Then he went to the county government office, but unexpectedly Magistrate Cao was not there. Shen Nanzhi remained silent, which seemed to indicate that he didn't want to see him.

The officer's eyes flickered, and he smiled smirkingly, not daring to look her in the eye. It was obvious that he was lying.

"I understand that the county magistrate is very busy. I'll leave first. When he comes back, please help me send a message."

"Okay, Miss Shen, don't worry. I'll send someone to notify you as soon as the county magistrate comes back."

"Thank you."

Shen Nanzhi did not give any red envelope this time. He thought that the ungrateful person was a waste of all the red envelopes he had given to him before. He turned around and left with a very gloomy face.

The master hid behind the door and watched her leave, then breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally she left. Oh, what a fuss."

The lawyer's face was filled with worry. Master Ning Wu threatened him with the county magistrate's leverage and wanted to lock the man up for a day. He was afraid that something bad would happen.

The county magistrate was helpless. Every official has his share of shady dealings.

Shen Nanzhi left the county government office and went straight to the back door. Seeing that there was no one there, he turned over and went in, avoiding the maids and servants, entered the inner house, and found Aunt Xia's residence.

Several maids were standing outside the door, guarding it, and Shen Nanzhi couldn't get in. She climbed onto the roof and lifted the tiles, and sure enough, she saw County Magistrate Cao lying on Aunt Xia's lap, letting her hold his hair with a look of enjoyment on his face, and closing his eyes comfortably.

Humph, what do you mean not there? She had seen many faces of these officials in her previous life. They were greedy than anyone else when it came to enjoying benefits, but they had another face when it came to doing things.

Aunt Xia stuffed a grape into the county magistrate's hand. It was sold by Shen Nanzhi, and a pound of grapes cost five hundred coins.

"Master, are you really going to attack Miss Nanzhi's uncle? If you do this, you will completely piss her off."

Aunt Xia asked gently, and Shen Nanzhi quickly pricked up his ears to listen. She asked at the right time.

County Magistrate Cao sighed, "I can't do anything about it. Mr. Ning Wu actually kept my letters. The mere fact of him accepting bribes is enough to make me suffer.

"Master, I want to take advantage of this opportunity to get promoted. The position of prefect may be mine, so I can't let all my efforts go to waste."

Shen Nanzhi's face was full of coldness. He used her things to get promoted and even attacked her uncle. This County Magistrate Cao was too shameless.

Xia Lanxue was equally disgusted, "Master, aren't you afraid that Miss Shen will get angry and take revenge on you?"

"She dares? She is just a peasant girl. I gave her some face. Does she really think she is a person of importance? A person of high rank should not fight against an official. She is still too young.

Master Ning Wu looks like he runs a casino, but he has connections above him, so things are not that simple."

Magistrate Cao also weighed the pros and cons before deciding to take action against Shen Nanzhi. Master Ning Wu is even more difficult to deal with.

"Hey, if I can, would I be ungrateful? There's nothing I can do about it, ah... who is it? Someone, there's an assassin!"

When Magistrate Cao opened his eyes, he saw a pair of eyes on the roof and a wide-open mouth with grinning teeth. Even the white teeth were clearly visible. He was so frightened that he rolled off Aunt Xia's legs.

"Master, what assassin?"

"It was on the roof, why is it gone?"

When he looked again, everything was gone. Magistrate Cao thought he was hallucinating.

A man walked in from outside the door, and the maids and servants fell to the ground. County Magistrate Cao even stopped breathing. "You, you are so bold, you dare to trespass into the inner house of the county government, what crime should you be punished for?"

Shen Nanzhi sat down slowly and poured himself a cup of tea. "This tea is good, County Magistrate, calm down. I am just a guest. I am not an outsider, right? How can it be considered as trespassing into the inner house? County Magistrate, you are alienated from me!"

County Magistrate Cao calmed down, got up, tidied his clothes, and sat next to her. Shen Nanzhi poured him a cup of tea and said, "Have a cup of tea to calm your nerves. It's my fault for scaring you."

Magistrate Cao was an official after all, so he was very thick-skinned. He didn't drink the tea and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Shen Nanzhi said innocently, "I should be the one asking you this. What do you want to do?"

When Magistrate Cao knew that the matter had been exposed, he simply said, "I am also in a passive position in this matter. You and Master Ning Wu were cooperating well, but suddenly you fell out. He also has something against your uncle. I can only act according to the rules."

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "Okay, then let's do it according to the rules. Since it's a rape case, it should be tried in public, right?

He was thrown into jail before being convicted. If something happens to my uncle, who will take the responsibility?

County magistrate, I, Shen Nanzhi, do not believe I have done anything wrong to you, but what you did was very immoral.

I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm not afraid of people wearing shoes when I'm barefoot. What I hate most is people attacking my relatives. If something happens to my uncle Niu, I can't guarantee what I can do!"
