Su Mengyan was stunned for a moment, and after hearing the maid's words, she also fell silent.
Could it be that I had wrongly blamed Situ Yao?
Su Mengyan's reputation has been getting worse and worse recently. Listening to the rumors about Su Mengyan from outside, Cui Mixue felt very happy.
How about that? It must be unpleasant to have someone poke your back, right?
Cui Mixue looked at the sky outside and then raised the corners of her lips.
Don't you even look at who you are? How dare you fight with me?
As she thought about it, she put a pearl hairpin on her head.
"The lady is really pretty."
The maidservant beside them watched and started laughing.
Cui Mixue was already in a good mood, and after receiving the compliment, she tilted her head to glance at the maid and said with a smile, "You are the one with the sweet talk."
As the two were talking, the maid suddenly looked up at the sky with a worried look on her face. "Looking at the situation outside, it seems like it's going to rain again."
When Cui Mixue heard the word "rain", she was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something and stood up.
The maid was startled by Cui Mixue's appearance and asked hesitantly, "Miss?"
Cui Mixue tilted her head to glance at the maid and smiled softly, "Nothing."
How could she forget?
At this time in the previous life, there was a flood in the south.
At that time, the people suffered greatly, there were tens of thousands of corpses, and people died every day due to floods.
When she thought of this, she looked directly at the maid beside her and said, "Come and help me change my clothes."
The maid was a little confused and came over to help Cui Mixue tidy up her clothes. "Where are you going, Miss?"
Cui Mixue curled the corners of her lips, looked outside, and said, "Go to the Seventh Prince."
Hearing that Cui Mixue was going to Situ Zhao, she shut her mouth and stopped asking questions, concentrating on packing Cui Mixue's clothes.
Cui Mixue told Situ Zhao everything about the flood in the south. Situ Zhao listened for a moment and was very skeptical. "How did you know there would be a flood in the south recently?"
Hearing Situ Zhao's somewhat skeptical tone, Cui Mixue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course I know that. The weather in the south is much more humid than in the north. The north is currently experiencing continuous rain, so the south will naturally be the same."
As he spoke, he began to analyze the whole story with Situ Zhao.
After hearing what Cui Mixue said, Situ Zhao patted her shoulder and said, "You're worrying too much, aren't you? Your remarks are quite novel."
After hearing what Situ Zhao said, Cui Mixue frowned.
What she just said was the analysis made by the Imperial Master himself after the flood occurred, so it was impossible for it to be wrong.
Seeing Situ Zhao's face full of disbelief, his expression also fell a little.
Seeing that Cui Mixue seemed unhappy, Situ Zhao cautiously approached her and said, "We're engaged now, how about thinking about something happy?"
Cui Mixue glanced at Situ Zhao, took a deep breath, and then said, "If you don't believe me, you can also directly ask the emperor for permission to reinforce the dam. When the time comes, we will naturally see whether it is true or not."
After listening to Cui Mixue's words, Situ Zhao thought for a moment and agreed immediately.
It's just a matter of words.
When he went to court the next day, he directly advised the emperor about this matter.
Seeing that Situ Zhao had rarely taken the initiative to make such a suggestion, the emperor simply waved his hand and agreed to the matter, and handed it over to Situ Zhao to handle.
Situ Zhao was naturally very happy. Building a dam would cost a lot of money. It shouldn't be too much for him to make some money from it, right?
Su Mengyan had been living in secrecy these days. On the one hand, she had to hide from the people Situ Yao had sent to look for her, and on the other hand, she had to avoid the accusations of the people.
Fortunately, she has a good attitude, otherwise, if an ordinary girl heard others talking about her like this, she would probably cry.
As she thought about this, she took a deep breath and walked down the street.
Just when she had walked a few steps towards the food store, she suddenly saw the people around the prince walking out of the store.
Su Mengyan was frightened immediately and ran to a remote alley, hiding there with only her head sticking out.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she watched the secret guards around Situ Yao searching each shop one by one.
Now that you can’t find yourself, you must be anxious!
Thinking of this, she rubbed her nose proudly.
Just as she was waiting for the secret guards to finish the search, a small hand suddenly reached out stealthily and touched Su Mengyan's waist.
Su Mengyan has always been wary of such things. When she felt a hand on her waist, she subconsciously turned her head and grabbed the hand.
She originally thought that it was a man who wanted to take advantage of her, but when she turned around, she didn't expect that it was just a little beggar about eight years old.
Su Mengyan raised her eyebrows and looked at the child.
"What do you want to do? Steal my money?"
The little beggar looked at Su Mengyan's bulging purse, swallowed his saliva, and took a step back, "Sister... I..."
His face turned red and he kept waving his hands at Su Mengyan, not knowing how to explain himself.
Su Mengyan glanced at him and raised her eyebrows. "You're so young and yet you're doing such sneaky things. Aren't you afraid that I'll report you to the police?"
When the little beggar heard Su Mengyan's words, his face turned pale and his head shook like a rattle.
"No, no! Sister! Please, don't send me to the authorities!"
Su Mengyan looked at the little beggar in front of her, then tilted her head and snorted.
The little beggar had long noticed that Su Mengyan seemed to be hiding from someone. Seeing that Su Mengyan seemed unwilling to give up, he hurriedly said, "Sister, are you hiding from someone? Don't worry, I can help you get to a safe place!"
Su Mengyan raised her eyebrows after hearing this, and the little beggar continued, "Please, sister, please don't send me to the government... Otherwise I will..."
"Otherwise you what?"
Su Mengyan raised her eyebrows and looked over.
The little beggar chuckled and pointed at the secret guards who were searching the shop, "Otherwise I will go and tell those brothers that you are here."
When Su Mengyan heard this, her expression changed and she rubbed the little boy's head hard.
"You kid, you're pretty smart!"
The little boy chuckled and said, "Sister, I think you won't report it to the police, right?"
Su Mengyan had no intention of reporting to the police, she just wanted to scare the little boy, but she didn't expect that this guy was so smart.
If I were to be exposed, with the ability of Situ Yao's secret guards, I would not be able to escape and would be captured directly.
