Jin Qianqian never imagined that merely inheriting an estate would mysteriously grant her a spatial dimension. Unsure of where the space led—to an apocalypse, transmigration, or endless survival sc...
Chapter 258 259. Level Adjustment
Gu Wenheng touched Jin Qianqian's belly and whispered, "I hope this kid won't be as naughty as his brother when he comes out."
Jin Qianqian, "He's just a little more active. We'll just have to teach him slowly in the future. Do you think this could be a girl?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head vigorously, "This is just a kid. Have you forgotten what Doctor Chu said before? According to his previous pulse condition, this is another kid for sure."
Jin Qianqian admitted that she was selfish. She really didn't want to have a daughter and let her child go through the same hardships she had gone through. What's more, giving birth to a child here would be like walking through the gates of hell.
She usually behaved very calmly, but when she didn't give birth to the baby after a day and a night, she became panicked.
Even though she knew the second pregnancy would be much better than the first, she still balked at the thought of the pain.
It’s a pity that this is not something you can back down from or negotiate, you can only go ahead and do it.
"The snow has stopped in the past two days. Do you want to go back and take a look?" Jin Qianqian never thought that just when she had taken the pulse, Gu Wenheng would pack his luggage the next day and move directly to Daocheng with her and the child.
I have been staying with her these days, and only go out occasionally to do some errands.
Even if the property over there is handed over to Xiao Dongzi and the housekeeper to manage, they still have to go and check it out occasionally.
"Xiao Dongzi is watching over there now. He will come over if anything happens. As for home, you forgot that my eldest brother and his family have to come over every other day. If there is really something, they will come to find us.
Let’s wait until Mother’s birthday comes in a few days, and then we can go back together.”
"That's fine. Xiao Dongzi is growing up very fast. I didn't expect that you found a good helper for me at the city gate." When Jin Qianqian talked about this, the smile on her face couldn't be removed.
Even though Xiao Dongzi has just become an adult, he may have gone through hardships in the past few years. He is willing to put aside his pride, cherish his current life, and is full of energy every day.
Not only did he help Jin Qianqian guard the base camp, he also helped her develop a lot of business in the past two years.
Several cities nearby have long stopped supplying goods to the outside world, and instead Xiao Dongzi has led his people to occupy this market.
"That was because he was lucky, otherwise he might have frozen to death under the wall that winter." Gu Wenheng sighed again, human destiny is sometimes so magical, a slight change can change everything.
Just like him and Qianqian, they traveled through two time and space to get such a good marriage.
"There is one more thing I need to tell you," Gu Wenheng thought about the news he received today, "County Magistrate Tian's term has expired. I heard that he was transferred to a small county in the south."
Jin Qianqian's heart was not greatly disturbed. "It seems that Madam Tian is disappointed again this time. It's hard for her to remind me several times before that I should do my best before Master Tian gets promoted."
Maybe it was because Zeng Wanru wanted to get the secret recipe for her younger brother from her mother's side last time. In subsequent gatherings, she always seemed to isolate Jin Qianqian with a group of ladies.
Jin Qianqian had attended these gatherings a few times and felt that they were a bit boring, so she gradually turned down many of them.
"Tian Xiuwen is a good person. After all, he has served as a local official for many years and has done his duty to the local people.
It's a pity that he married a virtuous wife. His transfer this time is closely related to his good wife."
Jin Qianqian looked up at him and said, "So, you had a hand in Lord Tian's transfer this time."
Gu Wenheng smiled without saying anything. Jin Qianqian knew that the man in front of her was helping her get back her face in disguise.
"His wife is short-sighted, but Lord Tian is a good guy." Jin Qianqian's words were very pertinent. If the other party is really a corrupt official, even if they have a powerful backer behind them, they can still be skinned alive.
Gu Wenheng, "It is because others are okay that I found a relatively prosperous county in the south. Otherwise, I would have gone to a remote mountain area."
Jin Qianqian: "..." He's still showing mercy? I just hope that Mrs. Tian can learn from this lesson.

Fu County Government Office
Tian Xiuwen tightly held the transfer order in his hand and hurried all the way to the backyard. When he saw Zeng Wanru greeting him with a smile, he slapped her in the face.
"Master," Zeng Wanru, who almost stumbled and fell to the ground, covered her face and looked at him in surprise.
"You should be satisfied now. It would be fine if you didn't help, but you are still holding us back.
Based on my performance, there is no way I can be transferred horizontally this time. "
Zeng Wanru asked in a low voice, "Didn't we agree on this? Why did it become the same?"
"Who told you that? I have worked diligently over the years to manage Fu County in an orderly manner. In addition, I have resettled so many refugees before. Even if I am not promoted three levels, I can move up one level.
But it's all because of you, stupid woman. Not only can you not help, but you also bring me this trouble.
Now I have become a joke among my colleagues.”
"How could this happen? I didn't do anything." Zeng Wanru still felt that she was very wronged. She seldom went out during this period. How could this be her fault?
Tian Xiuwen sneered, "Have you forgotten Madam Gu? Do you really think she is just a lady who can be manipulated by you?
Not to mention the friendship between Gu Juren and Bai Shizi, just look at the supporters standing behind them. I am just a small county magistrate, and you dare to make things difficult for them. "
Thinking of this, Tian Xiuwen rubbed his face. Even if the emperor did not admit it, as long as there was a little relationship, everyone would know that Prince Bai was working for the emperor.
"And is Madam Gu easy to mess with? The soap workshop she owns is a tribute, and it is only related to the palace. Where do you get the sense of superiority to challenge her?"
Zeng Wanru took a few steps back, holding onto the corner of the table, trying not to weaken. "I haven't seen her for several months, and it's impossible for me to offend her. Did the master make a mistake?"
Tian Xiuwen saw that she was still making excuses at this point, "Don't you know there's a word called holding a grudge?
I have warned you more than once, but you didn't take it seriously. Now, all my years of hard work have been ruined in your hands.
You are devoted to your brothers from your mother's family, why don't you go back and accompany them in the future!"
Zeng Wanru's face immediately turned pale. "I'll go and beg them. They can't let such a small matter ruin the master's future. Is there any law in this world?"
"Shut up right there," Tian Xiuwen shouted, "You think your position is not good enough, and you want to go home with me to farm?
If you continue to act like this, I will have to divorce you for the sake of our child's future."
Zeng Wanru covered her face and cried, "I really didn't know they would retaliate against us like this? I just said a few words, and I didn't hurt them. Isn't it too much for them to treat the master like this?"
