Su Wenyue was holding two sets of small clothes in her hands at this time. When she saw Nanny Chen coming in, she joked, "Mammy, you've been out for so long, but you've made a lot of money. Do you want to share some with us?"

"Madam, please don't embarrass me. This is a reward from Madam Yao." Nanny Chen knew that her master was joking with her, but she still took out the purse that Yao Qin had given her. When she opened it, there was half a tael of silver inside.

This was not a very generous gift. She was, after all, an official's wife, and she was asking for information from Nanny Chen, who served the master closely. Even if it wasn't too much, at least two or three taels of silver would be required. This was only half a tael of silver, less than one tael.

However, although Yao Qinshi was a little stingy, Su Wenyue could understand it. Not everyone has a family with a strong background like hers to help her. Here in Xinluo Town, most of the officials are of the lowest rank of seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Most of them have no other subsidies except their monthly salary, so it is normal for them to live a tight life.

"Since it was earned by Nanny Chen, you should keep the money." Su Wenyue said. The money was not much to begin with, and Nanny Chen did not bother about it and accepted it with a smile.

"After these words are spread out, I think that although it is a quiet period, no one dares to take advantage of the situation. Those who want to curry favor with the wife of the Tongpan have to consider whether they will bring trouble upon themselves." Xiaoxi said in a somewhat unfriendly tone. He could see through many people in these few days alone. When the lord was promoted, many people came to curry favor with him, but when they heard that the lady had offended the Tongpan, those people avoided her, and some even took advantage of the situation and changed their faces completely.

Su Wenyue originally didn't want to reveal the Su family's connections in Chang'an, but now she let Nanny Chen spread the word. Even if she didn't want to be high-profile, she couldn't let people step on her. But this couldn't solve all the problems. The Tongpan's wife probably wouldn't let the matter go just because of these rumors. The connections in Chang'an did exist, but distant water couldn't quench a nearby fire. Even if the county magistrate's wife wanted to help, even the county magistrate had to listen to the Tongpan. Who knew what tricks Wang Sun would come up with.

Mrs. Zhou Wang was a person who refused to settle down. It had only been two days since Su Wenyue rejected the position of wife of the magistrate. Seeing that everything was calm and nothing had happened, and that Mrs. Wang Sun had even returned from the provincial capital, she became restless again. After thinking about it, she came to the Han family again.

"Madam, Madam Zhou is not a good person. You'd better not meet her. Who knows what she is thinking." The people who served Su Wenyue did not have a good impression of Zhou Wangshi. Now that Su Wenyue was pregnant, she could not stand any stimulation. No one wanted to let Zhou Wangshi get close to Su Wenyue, for fear that she would say something nonsense and make Madam worry.

"No, let's meet her anyway. I want to see what she is here for this time. Is she here to tip off someone again?" Although Su Wenyue disliked Zhou Wangshi, she had to admit that Zhou Wangshi had some abilities in some aspects. For example, she was well-informed about news. Maybe there was some gossip, and she didn't necessarily have to believe it. It was always good to be on guard.

"Mrs. Zhou, please take a seat. It's been quiet here for a few days. I didn't expect you to come here at this time. What's the matter?" Su Wenyue asked casually, leaning against a large pillow.

Seeing Su Wenyue's expression, Zhou Wangshi felt that the rumors must be true. She didn't expect Su to be so lucky and have such a strong family background. No wonder she dared to refuse the wife of the Tongpan. She was wondering why Su suddenly became so stupid as to offend the wife of the Tongpan. It turned out that her background was so strong, otherwise she would not have come here today.

"Look at what Madam Han said. I'm not the kind of person who curries favor with the powerful. I'll flatter you if you have something good to offer, and avoid you if you don't. It's something that only mean people would do. Besides, Madam Han and I hit it off right away. I admire your character very much. I came here today to see if there's anything I can do to help you."

"Oh, so Mrs. Zhou is here to help. But our family has been doing well recently, and there is nothing that we need Mrs. Zhou's help with. I'm afraid that I will let Mrs. Zhou down."

"This..." Zhou Wangshi had planned it well, but she didn't expect Su Wenyue to not respond to her at all. How should she continue? If it were someone else, it would be embarrassing. Zhou Wangshi was not an ordinary person. She thought quickly and immediately came up with a way to deal with it.

"Madam Han, this is outrageous. I know everything about you, Madam Tongpan, and Madam Wang. To be honest, I admire your integrity. You dared to reject Madam Tongpan. This is not something that ordinary people can do. But admiration is admiration. Madam Tongpan and Madam Wang are not kind-hearted. If Madam Han offends them, I'm afraid things will be bad. We have to find a way to deal with this matter."

Su Wenyue raised her eyebrows: "From what Madam Zhou said, it seems like she has come up with a solution?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come all this way. I've been so worried about this matter that I haven't slept well these past two days. After thinking about it, I finally came up with a solution, but you have to put aside your status and cooperate with me, Madam Han."

"Tell me about it."

"What I mean is that I should mediate between them. Madam Han, you should apologize to Madam Wang and admit your mistake. I will also talk to Madam Wang and ask her to stop being unreasonable and let the matter go." When Zhou Wangshi saw that Su Wenyue's face turned cold, she hurriedly said.

"I know your family has a strong background. I've heard all those things. But no matter how strong the background is, it's in Chang'an. It's too far away. If something really happens, by the time it gets to Chang'an, it'll be too late. The judge is in charge of our area. Besides, we all live here and we'll see each other every day. There's no point in making things too awkward..."

Zhou Wangshi tried her best to persuade Su Wenyue to do as she thought. Su Wenyue understood clearly what she said. Zhou Wangshi was planning to please both sides.

"Madam Chen, please show the guests out!" Su Wenyue originally thought that Zhou had some news, so she gave the order to leave without waiting for Zhou Wangshi to finish speaking.

Zhou Wangshi came out of the Han family in embarrassment, unable to maintain the expression on her face any longer. She never thought that Su Wenyue would be so ruthless and directly let the servants kick her out. This ungrateful Su, since he didn't listen to her advice, he should just wait for bad luck. Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted with that relationship in the capital, which he didn't know whether it was true or false!

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Zhou Wang left angrily and went straight to Wang's house without going home. This time she was determined to let Su know how powerful she was and that anyone who offended her would not have a good ending.

"Madam, this Wang is narrow-minded and likes to play tricks. You have offended her badly this time. Aren't you afraid that she will do something bad behind your back?"
