It seems the prefect's wife has a good impression of the young lady. If this can provide the young lady with some assurance, she won't have to worry about it so much in the future.

"That way, Miss will have less trouble."

Qiu Wen didn't find it hard. Although she did business in modern times to acquire wealth, she was genuinely interested in it, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to do so well. In ancient times, asking her to find a man to marry and then spend her life in the inner quarters as a wife and mother is ridiculous. It's simply impossible for her.

If he could, he would much rather do business, not so much because he liked money, but because the sense of satisfaction was indescribable.

Zhang Tingyu had been keeping an eye on Qiu Wen, so he was naturally aware of what she had done. After finding out, he thought to himself, "She is indeed no ordinary woman. If a man were to achieve great things with such shrewdness, he would surely do the same."

Although Zhang Tingyu didn't show any outward signs, he became increasingly interested in Qiu Wen.

Bobo was indeed busy, but the matter concerning the prefectural government was no small matter. In addition, Bobo had instructed Xu Nian to investigate the prefect, and soon the matter reached Bobo's ears as well.

Bobo was also surprised that Qiu Wen was a woman, and that her methods were truly remarkable. However, because Wu Yiming had come before him, he didn't feel much about it.

Bobo saw all the mess in the prefectural government and knew it was normal. Wang Qiang was actually not bad. Although he was a bit muddle-headed, he was only muddle-headed in the inner quarters. He was quite honest with his wife's family.

Moreover, he handled the situation quickly, decisively dealing with the Wang family and incidentally managing to cultivate a good reputation.

What about upholding justice even at the cost of family ties, what about enforcing the law impartially...

Seeing that he hadn't made any major mistakes in his political affairs, Bobo let him off the hook this time.

How did Wang Qiang deal with Wang Hailin?

It's simple. We'll deal with the Wang family according to the law, without showing any leniency. The Wang family wasn't originally a wealthy household. It was only after Aunt Wang married into Wang Qiang's family that the Wang family "amassed wealth." Now, with the law being enforced impartially, they've suddenly returned to their former state, or even worse. This time, their reputation has been ruined, and no one wants to go into their remaining two shops.

Aunt Wang's sutra-copying project continued. During this time, Wang Qiang found a new lover, but this time he behaved himself and no longer pampered his new concubine as much.
