Li Yi had been silent the whole time, following behind Xu Miaomiao. He panicked for a moment and actually tripped. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward to help Li Yi who had fallen down, looked at him and said, "You don't have to blame yourself for this matter. He made a mistake in the first place. Even if there was a reason, he shouldn't have done that. So it has nothing to do with you, don't blame yourself."
After listening to Xu Miaomiao's words, Li Yi nodded and did not respond to Xu Miaomiao.
Seeing that Xu Miaomiao had returned to the room, Li Yi also left.
As soon as she pushed the door open and saw Gu Yuanniang inside, Xu Miaomiao was surprised, but did not show it. She just smiled, sat down next to Gu Yuanniang, and drank the tea in the cup.
Seeing that Xu Miaomiao had finished mixing the water, Gu Yuanniang poured her another cup, handed it to Xu Miaomiao and said, "I have also heard about the village in the city. It is really hard to believe that there is such a place in Bai County."
Xu Miaomiao smiled and just drank the tea in the cup without thinking about anything else.
Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang put her hand on Xu Miaomiao's hand and comforted her, saying, "Although our Gu family has always been a presence here, and I have lived here for a long time, I have only just heard about these things. You don't have to worry too much. Maybe everyone really has a destiny."
"No, Liu Niang, before I just wanted to let those people who looked down on us know that a girl like me, Xu Miaomiao, can also have her own world and abilities, but now I want to try a different approach."
"What method?"
Gu Yuanniang stared at Xu Miaomiao's serious expression and became serious too. She stared at Xu Miaomiao and immediately spoke.
"Although the land in Bai County is barren, it is not impossible to grow anything here. As long as it is used reasonably, it can be developed. Now Bai County is in the hands of County Magistrate Hu and Cui Yuanwai. It is naturally very difficult for some poor people to survive. But if we can make use of it, not only can the people of Bai County have something to rely on, but it can also reduce the recurrence of some urban villages."
"That's good, but now Bai County is ruled by Magistrate Hu, what can we do? The important border areas of Bai County are in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. I'm afraid Hu Chong is also one of His Majesty the Crown Prince's men. How can we do anything under his nose?"
Xu Miaomiao didn't comment when she heard what Gu Yuanniang said. Although she didn't understand what Song Wushao was busy with these days, the only thing she was sure of was that the weather in Bai County was probably going to change soon...
When Gu Yuanniang was leaving, Song Wushao happened to come back from outside. Seeing that it was a visitor, Gu Yuanniang bowed and left immediately.
"You went to the village in the city today, but what do you want to say?"
Song Wu Shao took off his outer robe, looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
Xu Miaomiao reached out to borrow Song Wushao's robe, looked at him and said, "Does Magistrate Hu know about the existence of this village in the city?"
Picking up the tea on the table, Song Wushao took a sip and nodded at him: "I know."
"Since you know, why don't you solve it?"
Xu Miaomiao was already a little dissatisfied, and looking at Song Wushao's emotions, she spoke with some excitement.
Seeing her like this, Song Wu Shao smiled, touched Xu Miaomiao's head, looked at her and said, "Not all problems can be solved as long as the source is known. Besides, how can he bear to solve it? Now as long as the land is in Cui Yuan's hands, then all the money will be in Hu Chong's hands. How can he bear to give it up?"
Xu Miaomiao remained silent, but turned his back to Xu Miaomiao angrily: "It's all because of these corrupt officials. People like this should not be a pity even if they die a thousand times!"
Song Wu Shao was stunned, staring at Xu Miaomiao without saying anything. When he saw Xu Miaomiao had turned over and was lying on the bed with her back to him, he looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "It's almost time."
Although she heard the voice, Xu Miaomiao knew that she couldn't ask now, so she didn't continue speaking.
After another sleepless night, Xu Miaomiao packed her bags and took some food. She came to the urban village again. The first person to discover her was the third brother from yesterday.
The third brother took a step forward, and only then did he not see the two young men with swords on their backs beside Xu Miaomiao, so he became bolder and said to Xu Miaomiao with a little joking: "Young lady, why are you here again today? Don't you really want to live with us?"
Xu Miaomiao smiled at him. Although her words were a little frivolous, she knew that the man in front of her had no ill intentions. She looked at the man and said, "I came here for something. Although I'm not here to see you, my husband, I do have some questions to ask."
"Okay, okay, since you are so beautiful, I will tell you everything I know."
“How many years has this village been around?”
"I don't know. I have existed as long as I was born. Maybe I am older than him."
“Why don’t you move out?”
The third brother paused, stared at Xu Miaomiao and smiled, then slowly said: "Young lady, if you can move out, why are these people here?"
"Go to the capital, go to another county, find a job, and naturally be able to support yourself. It's much better than staying here for the rest of your life."
After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, the third brother seemed to have heard a big joke and almost laughed out loud. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, in order to make the population of each county equal and not have too big a difference, the current emperor gave him a plan, that is, unless he gets married and passes the imperial examination, he cannot leave his hometown to work. Don't you know?"
"There is such a ridiculous law."
The moment Xu Miaomiao said this, the third brother's expression changed, and he immediately lowered his voice, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Don't say it, if others hear you say this, your entire clan will be implicated."
Xu Miaomiao ignored him and just bowed to the man in front of him: "In that case, I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao's politeness, the third brother smiled and clasped his fists in return.
After getting on the carriage, Xu Miaomiao arrived at the room she was in yesterday.
When I entered the room, the woman on the bed was already very weak.
Hearing the noise, the woman immediately said, "Ahfu, is Ahfu back?"
Xu Miaomiao paused, but still walked forward and sat down on a chair beside her before speaking: "No."
