Chapter 734 Governor's Support
Cui Mansion
It was just evening when Cui Yan came to the concubine's courtyard and started drinking.
When Qi came out of the shower, she saw him drinking alone. She walked over and put her hand on his shoulder naturally, "Yan Lang, what's wrong with you?"
Cui Yan, who was upset, took it away and said, "Nothing!"
Cui Yan has been in a bad mood recently. When he asked Gao Mei for help that day, she actually dared to make such an excessive request: "I can help you, but she wants the position of the head of the Cui family"!
The key point is that in the end, his mother actually listened to Gao's words, called the elders to discuss, and promised that if Gao Mei could resolve the crisis of the Cui family, she would agree to give her the power of the head of the family and let her try.
This made him extremely irritated and frightened. He had always been unwilling to admit that he was incompetent, and now that Gao Mei had pointed it out so clearly, he felt humiliated, angry, and hurt.
Unfortunately, Gao Mei had already gotten the OK and set off for Changli, Liaoxi County to meet Lu Songli, without even saying a word of comfort to him.
Qi comforted him, "Yan Lang, don't worry too much. Governor Lu may not meet her."
Cui Yan nodded and said, "Yes, Governor Lu may not meet her." He had asked to meet Lu Songli before, but Lu Songli did not meet him.
"If Governor Lu doesn't see her, she won't be able to accomplish anything. If she can't accomplish anything, then she can forget about the position of head of the family." Qi prayed in her heart that Gao Mei would return empty-handed. The thought that if Gao Mei succeeded, not only would Cui Yan lose his voice, but she would also have to make a living under Gao Mei's command, made her feel uncomfortable.
"That won't work either." Cui Yan knew very well how serious the crisis facing the Cui family was this time. If Gao Mei couldn't solve it, the Cui family would be in danger.
Hearing these words, Qi was stunned. What on earth did this man want?
At this time, Gao Mei was also waiting nervously in the reception room of Pingzhou Prefecture Yamen.
Governor's residence
Chen Yue handed a document to Lu Songli, "Governor, this is Cui's proposal for rectifying the brothel. Please review it."
Lu Songli picked it up, read it quickly, then leaned back in his chair and said with a smile, "Who in the Cui family came up with this plan?" If the Cui family had been so sensible earlier, why would they have to make such a fuss?
"I heard that this plan was made by Cui Yan's wife Gao Mei."
"Oh?" Lu Songli looked at him with some interest.
Seeing her interest, Jiang Yizhou added, "The Cui family is considering changing their head. The previous head, Cui Yan, didn't have much talent. The reason he has remained in the position of head is because of Gao, his virtuous wife."
Lu Songli raised an eyebrow. "The Cui family changed their generals at the last minute. Now Gao Mei is the leader?"
"Yes." Chen Yue recounted the information he had found. "I heard that just as Lord Zhang took action against Cui's assets, Gao Mei simply resigned and negotiated with Madam Cui, demanding power."
Lu Songli nodded. It was good that Gao Mei could seize the opportunity to negotiate terms.
"This crisis is the Cui family's test for Gao Mei. If she can resolve it, she will be able to smoothly inherit the position of head of the Cui family."
Lu Songli nodded, this condition was quite acceptable.
"By the way, Governor, she's outside waiting for your summons. Would you like to see her?"
Lu Songli nodded, "Yes! Please invite her in." Such an opportunity must be given, and this person must be met.
An hour later, Gao Mei said goodbye to Lu Songli and walked out. She was still very excited as she walked out. It was not until she was about to reach the gate of the provincial government that she calmed down.
Just now she had a very pleasant conversation with Governor Lu. Governor Lu is indeed a heroine. Chatting with her gave her a lot of inspiration.
After getting on the carriage, she took a last look at the gate of the provincial capital and thought, it's time to cut off the tail and survive, the Cui family has suffered a big setback this time.
As soon as she got into the carriage, the maid asked, "Madam, how is it?"
Gao Mei nodded. She thought of what Governor Lu had just said jokingly, saying that if she had not submitted a new rectification plan and came to see her in person with full sincerity, Cui would have been in great trouble this time.
Gao Mei knew that this was Governor Lu's order for her to tell the Cui family about this, and that it was also meant to promote her and give her some support so that she could smoothly take over the Cui family, so that she wouldn't be abandoned after returning.
Encouraged, Gao Mei returned with high spirits and courage.
This time, Cui fell into the hands of Pingzhou, and it was good enough that Governor Lu was willing to give her a chance.
You know, if it weren't for her and her efforts, there might not be the Cui family.
Now the head of the family has just changed, what do they have to be dissatisfied with?
She had already made up her mind. If they weren't satisfied with the outcome she'd achieved, it wouldn't matter if she couldn't become the head of the Cui family. At worst, she could divorce Cui Yan and come to the governor to serve her! As for the Cui family, let the governor slaughter them like a fat sheep! No, he'd kill them like a chicken to scare the monkeys!
In fact, Gao Mei also knew that this idea was a bit biased. She could see that Governor Lu still hoped that she could take charge of the Cui family.
During this meeting, Governor Lu gave her the courage to back her up.
Gao Mei thought, since it is the governor's wish, then she will work hard to accomplish it.
Lu Songli's meeting with Gao Mei has attracted much attention.
Lu Songli had refused to meet Cui Yan before, but now she met Gao Mei. The signal she sent was intriguing.
The interview with Lu Songli also gave Cui a chance to breathe.
Later, Cui got the opportunity to rectify himself, which made many people think.
The governor likes capable women. It seems they still need to focus on educating their young people.
…
In the evening, when Lu Songli came home from work, he saw Qin Sheng holding his daughter and trying to coax her, but the daughter didn't listen and kept crying at the top of her lungs, making him so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Qin Sheng, who was unable to appease his little ancestor, was at a loss, and seeing her was like seeing a savior.
Qin Sheng walked towards Lu Songli with his daughter in his arms and complained to her, "Lili, Xuan'er has been crying all the time." This made him want to cry too.
Lu Songli reached out and took her daughter, holding her in her arms.
Four-month-old Qin Xuan could already recognize people. After realizing that the person holding her was her biological mother, she buried her face in Lu Songli's arms, arched her little head, and whimpered in grievance.
Lu Songli adjusted her posture, holding her waist and back with one hand and supporting her little butt with the other hand, "What's wrong with her?"
Qin Sheng guessed, "Maybe he's hungry?"
Lu Songli ignored him and asked the nurse, "How many meals has she eaten this year?"
The wet nurse next to her immediately replied.
When Lu Songli heard this, she thought that the child would not starve if he had so many meals.
She glanced at Qin Sheng and thought, what this person is feeling right now is 'a kind of hunger that comes from the fact that dad thinks you are hungry'.
Qin Sheng was embarrassed, he knew what his wife meant by that look.
Pingzhou Farm has developed a product called milk powder, which is said to be very nutritious for feeding children. Whenever his daughter cried, he would feed her milk powder, and she would stop crying.
So, every time his daughter cried, he would feed her.
During this period, Lu Songli once thought that he was very good at taking care of children.
After feeding the baby for about a month, Lu Songli felt something was wrong when she held the baby. Her hands were too heavy.
At the first trial, she found out that Qin Sheng had secretly given the little one extra food without her and the wet nurse's knowledge!
After Lu Songli found out, she stopped feeding the baby like this. After all, it's not good for the baby to be too fat. These little hands and legs are almost turning into lotus root nodes!
The little girl was used to eating, and if he suddenly cut back on her meals, she wouldn't be used to it and would make trouble for him.
Qin Sheng has been tortured by his daughter recently.
Lu Songli didn't feel sorry for him at all.
