Shen Ningxue stiffened her neck, raised her chin high, and spoke with a righteous look.
"So, are you scared?"
"I'm telling you, the Prime Minister loves me dearly and has already secretly sent someone to pay a betrothal gift to my family. If he knew you were treating me like this, he would definitely throw you into the Imperial Prison, skin you alive, and make you suffer a fate worse than death."
Shen Erzhuang thought about it and said,
"This is true, Sister Xiaoyi. Whether it's the Shangshu Mansion or a big shot like the Prime Minister, you can't mess with them. You'd better not try to hit a stone with an egg."
“Heh~~~~~” Liu Zhiyi sneered.
"Ma'am, that's not the case."
Shuangyue Shuangxue hurriedly wanted to defend her master, but Liu Zhiyi raised his hand to stop her.
"I know exactly who he is."
"Song Hanchuan's taste isn't that bad."
She turned her head and said this to Shuangyue Shuangxue. When they heard her affirmation, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they looked at Shen Ningxue with an expression as if they were looking at a dead person.
For some reason, Shen Ningxue suddenly felt uneasy. But then she thought, Liu Zhiyi is just a lowly servant. Even if she has servants to serve her, she will probably marry a businessman with a small fortune.
With her status, she will never be able to meet an important figure of noble standing like the Prime Minister in her lifetime.
She had no way of verifying whether what she said was true or not.
Thinking of this, she widened her eyes and shouted,
"How dare you! Everyone knows that, apart from the Emperor, the most powerful and handsome person in the world is the Prime Minister. How dare you speak of the Prime Minister like that? Wait until I tell the Prime Minister everything, and then we'll see if you still have the courage to be so arrogant."
Liu Zhiyi clicked his tongue softly.
Insulting her best friend, coveting her man, and throwing dirty water on her man, does she think she is easy to bully?
Before she could exert any strength, Frost and Snow could no longer bear it.
"You dare to slander the Prime Minister's innocence and seek death."
Shuangxue kicked Shen Ningxue hard in the abdomen. She held her stomach in pain and rolled on the ground.
"I...I didn't. Everything I said is true."
Even at this point, Shen Ningxue still insisted that she was Song Hanchuan's fiancée.
Liu Zhiyi raised his hand lightly.
"Since she is so sure, let's send her before the Prime Minister and hear what he has to say."
The guards behind him immediately came over to take the person away.
Shen Ningxue was stunned. Could it be that she could really see the Prime Minister? No, it was impossible. How could this be possible?
Who is the Prime Minister?
She was a powerful figure, aloof and arrogant. It was usually difficult for the noble ladies to get close to her, so how could they possibly see a lowly maid like her? He must have been deliberately deceiving her, he had to.
Shen Ningxue tried her best to calm herself down, "How dare you, you don't want to live anymore, just try to touch me."
Shuangxue had a bad temper and had long disliked Shen Ningxue. Seeing her yelling, she scratched her ears in annoyance.
Kicked the man down with one foot,
"So much nonsense, take it away."
"yes."
Liu Zhiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at her with appreciation, successfully making her blush.
"Madam, why are you looking at me like this?"
Frost Snow stuttered and scratched the back of her head.
Liu Zhiyi, "Nothing, what you just did was well done."
After receiving the lady's praise, Shuangxue's eyes suddenly sparkled and her cheeks became redder, as if she had put on rouge.
“You’re great too.”
Liu Zhiyi said to Shuangyue again.
When they heard this, they were both overjoyed.
The people in the Shen family were not stupid, so they naturally noticed something was wrong. At this moment, they all looked a little confused.
"Xiaoyi, you..."
"Stop, Uncle Shen, you have just severed ties with Zhuzhu. Now, please move your entire family out of here."
Few people were willing to do that.
She didn't dare cry or make a fuss, for fear that she would be dragged away like a dead dog like Shen Ningxue.
They had lived a good life for three years. They had been landlords and their wives for three years. They were proud of themselves outside and respected in the village.
Now, if they were to go back to the days of being trampled underfoot as before, it would be more painful than killing them.
Liu Zhiyi ignored them and went straight out and got on the carriage.
The rest will be taken care of by the guards behind her.
The carriage slowly drove out of the farm, and behind it, the Shen family members cried miserably.
Liu Zhiyi vaguely heard them say that they had land deeds and that the guards could not treat them like this.
Liu Zhiyi's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc.
So what if it's a land deed? Can it really stand up to the powerful? Zhuzhu has a kind heart, but no one knows that Liu Zhiyi is a born bad person who always seeks revenge.
If they dare to pick up the bowl to eat and then put it down to curse, then don't blame her for teaching them a lesson.
If they had just been honest, the matter would have passed.
If anyone dares to cause trouble for Zhuzhu again, she doesn't mind getting rid of them quietly.
The group continued to patrol the village as if nothing had happened. Fortunately, there was no trouble in the village during the three years of absence, and the minor problems were not a big deal.
Liu Zhiyi acted decisively and resolved the issue in no time.
Before dark, they hurried back to the prime minister's residence.
After hearing Song Hanchuan say that during the three years they were away, Shen Ningxue occasionally learned that the Shen family had become prosperous.
She went back to build good relationships with them, used sweet words to deceive Shen's father into trusting her, used a little trick to transfer the Shen family's farm to her name, and also cheated more than a thousand taels of silver.
When I returned to the farm this time, I heard that Chen Ningzhu and Liu Zhiyi had bought a large farm of over a thousand acres.
She planned to use her identity as the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion and some tricks to get it into her own hands.
Unexpectedly, before he could take any action, he met Liu Zhiyi.
Liu Zhiyi angrily cursed Shen's father and mother for being blind and heartless. Song Hanchuan smiled and said that he could just leave the matter to him.
The next day, the title deed to the manor returned to Liu Zhiyi, who was then satisfied.
Over the next few days, the two were kept busy. Song Hanchuan was busy with the affairs of the court, while Liu Zhiyi was busy managing the business and making money as quickly as possible.
The national treasury is empty, people everywhere are unable to get enough food, and life is very difficult. These problems are imminent and must be resolved as soon as possible.
So, for several days in a row, Liu Zhiyi used various methods to scare Pei Yunchu away.
As time went by, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion fell in love with General Pei. She went in and out of the city every day, and the news of their constant encounters spread like wildfire, reaching every street and alley in the capital.
When Liu Zhiyi heard the news, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth a few times.
"Who has nothing better to do than spread these nonsense every day? And that Pei Yunchu, is he sick? He's a great general, but he doesn't train his troops every day. What kind of gatekeeper is he guarding the city gate?"
Song Hanchuan looked at Liu Zhiyi, whose cheeks were puffed with anger, and smiled with pursed lips.
"Prince Chen is still at large, and the Emperor is not in the court, so we must be on guard."
"With me in the court, he felt very relieved and focused his energy on defending the city gates. That's why he went to the city gates every day."
"So he's a good official who does his job well?"
Liu Zhiyi said sourly.
