Upon hearing this, the people of Gancao County were moved to tears, but they still felt that something was not quite real.
"Princess, are the Luo father and son really dead?"
Sheng Lingwei nodded with a smile.
"Yes, they are dead. I personally burned Luo Xinkai to death, and as for that little beast Luo Yang, he was tortured to death by eighteen kinds of torture instruments."
The people were overjoyed and burst into tears. They then knelt down and kowtowed to Sheng Lingwei to express their gratitude.
"Waaah, that's great, those two beasts are finally dead."
"We, the people of Gancao County, have finally avenged our great grudge. We are so grateful to the princess. If it weren't for you, the people of our entire county probably wouldn't have survived."
"Waaah, Princess, you are our second parents, please accept our three bows."
"We are deeply grateful for the Princess's great kindness and virtue. We will remember it forever and never forget it."
"Please rise quickly, everyone."
Sheng Lingwei quickly used her mental power to help everyone up. Sigh, the people of Gancao County are kind and good in every way, except for their fondness for kneeling.
This really frustrated her.
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop crying. I think you all know now that there is a salt mine underground in Gancao County. Soon, the imperial court will send people to take over this salt mine."
When the time comes, you can go and refine salt. The imperial court will pay you wages, and gradually your lives will become better.
In addition, I will provide appropriate compensation based on your injuries, deaths, and property losses.
What's past is past. I know the burning of Gancao County will remain a shadow in your hearts, but we must always look forward, mustn't we?
Therefore, I urge everyone to forget your sadness as soon as possible, and strive to live each day to the fullest. Your future will only get better and better.
After hearing Sheng Lingwei's words, the people of Gancao County were extremely grateful, and tears streamed down their faces.
"Waaah, Princess, you are the best person in the world."
Sheng Lingwei chuckled, "I'm not a good person, so please don't think too highly of me."
The people said, "No, Princess, you are the best person in the world. If you are a bad person, then there are no good people in the world."
Sheng Lingwei: Uh... She was determined to be a villain, but in the end, she became a great person in the eyes of the people.
Let's not continue this discussion.
"Alright, everyone, disperse! I have important business to attend to, so I must take my leave now!"
After saying this, Sheng Lingwei disappeared from their sight without waiting for a reply from the people.
Honestly, she was genuinely afraid of their tears.
After Sheng Lingwei left, the people realized what had happened and looked around, but they couldn't find her anywhere.
From then on, the people held Sheng Lingwei in even higher esteem.
"Oh dear, I haven't delivered my chicken soup to the princess yet! Where did she go?"
"My goodness, the princess's elusive move is absolutely dazzling! Brothers and sisters, it's confirmed, the princess must be a celestial being descended from heaven."
"Yes, you're right!"
"..."
Sheng Lingwei: "..." She only wanted to be a villain that everyone feared.
Inside the room, Jing Qingyun smiled as she looked at the lifeless Sheng Lingwei and reached out to pinch her soft cheek.
"Weiwei, what's wrong with you?"
"Why!"
Sheng Lingwei sighed heavily, pouting as she complained, "Xiao Yunzi, I clearly wanted to be the big villain, but ever since I left the capital, I've become the savior along the way."
Jing Qingyun chuckled and said, "Weiwei, whether we're the savior or the villain, as long as we have a clear conscience, that's all that matters."
Sheng Lingwei thought about it and agreed, so she stopped dwelling on the issue.
"Xiao Yunzi, we'll stay in Gancao County for three more days and then set off on time. As for the underground salt mine, now that we've encountered it, we should bring some into our space. What do you think?"
Jing Qingyun nodded indulgently, "I think it's a good idea. Before that, I found a suitable salt mine. Even if we empty it, it won't arouse suspicion."
Sheng Lingwei immediately clapped her hands and gave a thumbs up, "Wow, Xiaoyunzi, you're really quick-witted! What are we waiting for? Let's finish this quickly."
Jing Qingyun reached out and took Sheng Lingwei's soft little hand, her lips curving upwards involuntarily. "Okay, Weiwei, come with me."
...
Time flies, and three days have passed.
Amidst the reluctant farewells of the people of Gancao County, Sheng Lingwei's large entourage slowly departed from Gancao County.
Sheng Lingwei brought Zheng Yishu back to the main force at the place closest to the city of Nanchang.
As soon as Zheng Yishu returned, he went straight to Rong Momo, "Suhua, I've missed you so much these past few days, have you missed me?"
Rong Momo blushed with embarrassment, unable to bear the teasing gazes of those around her, and grabbed the soft flesh of Zheng Yishu's waist, which was conspicuously exposed.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You surnamed Zheng, don't you even know where you are? At your age, you always have this 'whether you want to or not' thing on your mind. How dare you say that?"
"Ouch~~ Gently, gently, Suhua, please go easy on me. Although hitting and scolding are a sign of affection, it really hurts~~~"
Zheng Yishu grinned and acted coquettishly, his shameless behavior making everyone around him burst into laughter.
Rong Momo got goosebumps all over her body, pushed Zheng Yishu aside and came to Sheng Lingwei, saying, "Princess, I think you should leave Zheng Yishu in Nanchang County. I'm so annoyed with him now."
Zheng Yishu: ( ?? ﹏ ?? ) I feel wronged!
Sheng Lingwei exchanged a glance with Baiji and Baizhu, then nodded, feigning seriousness.
"Well, since the old lady is fed up with Lord Zheng, then I will take him to the prefectural city and let him continue to serve as an official in Nanchang County."
Seeing that her princess's expression was genuine, Rong Momo became a little anxious. "Princess, actually... actually Zheng Yishu isn't that bad. Let him continue to follow us!"
"Pfft..."
Sheng Lingwei and Bai Ji Bai Shu couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears almost streamed down their faces.
Only then did Rong Momo realize that the princess was teasing her. Her cheeks turned as red as a monkey's bottom, and she stomped her foot in embarrassment.
"Oh dear, Princess~~"
"Hey, hey, I'm here! I must say, your coquettish tone is exactly like Lord Zheng's. You two are truly a perfect couple, hahaha..."
Zheng Yishu proudly patted his chest, "That's right!"
Rong Momo was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. She glared fiercely at Zheng Yishu.
Thinking to himself, this guy is getting more and more shameless. It seems I have to teach him a lesson so he won't talk nonsense inappropriately.
Zheng Yishu couldn't help but shiver. Looking at the sinister Rong Momo, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Out of male instinct, he hurriedly tried to please Rong Mama, but even though he talked until his mouth was dry, Rong Mama didn't pay him any attention.
As expected, in the days that followed, Zheng Yishu was banished to the Cold Palace by Rong Momo.
(╥╯﹏╰╥)?
The couple reconciled when the main force was almost at Yucheng County.
Because of this profound lesson, Zheng Yishu never dared to show affection in front of others again, and only dared to do so secretly in private.
x﹏x
What did he do wrong?
It's just that he finally got together with Suhua and wanted the whole world to know how loving they were!
