Gu Hong originally thought that this was a stupid beauty, but now he feels that he was wrong in the past. Shen Ningsi is really interesting.
Shen Ningsi turned around and said, "I want the villagers to know the truth, and we must not let these deceived villagers charge into battle for the evildoers."
Shen Ningsi bowed her head and said, "There is a person in Black Cloud Village who has done me a favor. This mess is beyond my ability to handle. I hope Master Fan and the general will take more care of it. I will go ahead."
Gu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Shen Ningsi hurried away without taking any credit.
San Yazi glanced at the smug Gu Hong and said, "General, we have to thank the madam. Otherwise, if we killed a good man by mistake, the brothers would be upset when they learned the truth."
Shen Ningsi trotted back to the house where they were temporarily staying. She pushed the door open and looked at her wife, whom she had hidden long ago. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, it's safe outside now. Don't be afraid. Things will get better and better in the future. The granary in Black Cloud Village is now open. You can go and get some food to take home."
This is the woman who came to deliver food to Shen Ningsi today.
The woman was stunned for a long time, and finally burst into tears, "Although I stayed here, I heard what was said outside. It turned out that I was the one who sent my daughter to this place of the culprit."
She suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Ningsi.
"You are a living Bodhisattva! If you hadn't discovered the well, we wouldn't know how many more years we would have been kept in the dark!"
Shen Ningsi had just helped the man up when a deep voice suddenly came from outside.
"Gu! I'll take you back!"
“…”
Shen Ningsi half-poked her head out, "Don't bother, General. Although my husband has passed away, I insist on observing mourning for him. Men and women should not touch each other, and I can go back by myself."
Gu Hong didn't know what expression he should put on, he stared at Shen Ningsi with a strange look.
"From what you hear, you mean you have deep feelings for him?"
Shen Ningsi's face was not red, and she was not out of breath. "That's right. When I dream at midnight, all I see is my late husband's voice and smile. The past love is firmly engraved in my heart."
Gu Hong pursed his lips, and anger flashed in his eyes.
How dare Shen Ningsi say such nonsense? I have remembered his voice, appearance and smile in my mind, so how come I can't recognize who he is?
"I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." He said this and rode away.
Fan Xing, who stayed where he was, couldn't help but laugh, "It's rare to see General Gu get humiliated."
Fan Xing gloated, "No wonder they say General Gu, despite his military achievements, couldn't forget his wife. Madam Gu is truly exceptionally intelligent, and has an exceptionally interesting personality."
He had suffered a lot at the hands of that killer, and now seeing that Gu Hong also had a day when he felt uncomfortable, he couldn't tell you how happy he was.
Fan Xing led his men in, "Madam Gu is very talented. If it weren't for Madam Gu's cleverness, the Gu family army would have hurt innocent people this time."
"Your Excellency is too kind."
Shen Ning thought: "It's thanks to Master Fan that he arrived in time."
Fan Xing didn't dare to take the credit for this. At first, he didn't know the importance of Shen Ningsi.
It was the two men from Gu's army who urged him to rescue people as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Fan Xing's attitude towards Shen Ningsi became even kinder. Those two were Gu Hong's right-hand men, so it was conceivable how much Gu Hong cared about his wife.
"I heard Madam Gu has a rain-making technique? Wanning Village is extremely short of water right now. I wonder how Madam Gu's rain-making technique will work, and what preparations should we make?"
Fan Xing wanted to leave a calm impression on Shen Ningsi, but his voice could not hide the joy.
"Wanning Village has suffered from drought for a long time. The imperial court sent me here to provide disaster relief, but they only allocated some food and water. If we want to fundamentally solve Wanning Village's problems, we have to rely on the villagers themselves. Madam Gu's water control skills are unheard of. If she could really make rain..."
“Praying for rain is not a problem.”
Shen Ningsi answered readily, “But the court’s way of providing disaster relief is to send some food and grass over?”
Shen Ningsi was a little angry. So many people starved to death in Wanning Village. The best way was to take the remaining people to settle in a place with abundant resources. But the court only had this solution?
"Even these food supplies were fought for by General Gu." Fan Xing smiled bitterly.
In the final analysis, the people of Wanning Village enjoyed the blessing of Shen Ningsi. If it weren't for that killer arguing for reason in the court, they probably wouldn't have been able to get this little bit of food.
Shen Ningsi frowned, “Praying for rain requires a lot of straw, Lord Fan, please prepare it. Within ten days, I will make sure that Lord Fan sees rain in Wanning Village.”
"good!"
Fan Xing smiled and bowed, "Originally, the water control technique provided by Madam Gu was more than enough. I was just too greedy."
"Lord Fan truly loves the people, so how can there be any talk of greed? As long as it's for the benefit of the people, I will do my best to cooperate."
Fan Xing rarely encountered such a gentle and intelligent woman. He chuckled softly, "I will definitely not let Madam Gu's hard work go to waste. I've already instructed my subordinates to teach the people the art of water control, and to remember to mention Madam Gu's name. Although the relief funds allocated by the court this time are not much, Your Majesty attaches great importance to them."
He looked at Shen Ningsi seriously, "Madam's contribution will be recorded, and rewards will be given according to merit. This official will never let Madam suffer any loss."
Shen Ningsi was a little surprised. With such a great contribution in disaster relief, even if she was a woman, she would definitely get a lot.
This is truly a piece of cake! After all, the art of water control is common sense to Shen Ningsi!
"Was it Wen'er who told Lord Fan that I was the one who made the water?"
Fan Xing whispered, "Yes, Xiu Wen is exceptionally intelligent."
Gu Xiuwen still said it loudly in front of the entire yamen, fearing that someone would take away Shen Ningsi's credit.
"Mrs. Gu is very capable in teaching these three children so well."
"I didn't take good care of them." Shen Ningsi said matter-of-factly, "After their father left, I simply couldn't afford to feed them. Although these children are young, they have to take care of themselves."
Of course, these were all the actions of the original owner. Shen Ningsi would no longer let a few children support themselves.
Ana Shen smiled and said, “But I won’t let them suffer anymore in the future.”
Fan Xing almost thought that Shen Ningsi already knew Gu Hong's identity, when he saw her look at her palm with a firm look.
"As long as you are willing to find a way, you can always make your life better."
Fan Xing had never seen such a woman with a delicate face and figure, but a stronger heart than a man.
He was stunned for a moment before quickly saying, "I admire Madam's ambition, but Madam has done a great service to the entire Wanning Village. How can I bear to see Madam Gu suffer?"
He laughed. "The granary in Black Cloud Village has a lot of food stored. Add to that the relief food delivered by Gu's army, and the people of Wanning Village will be able to have enough to eat. Madam Gu has made such a great contribution that she will be given more food."
As Fan Xing finished speaking, a nonchalant voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"You're quite smart. If you hadn't mentioned Gu's name in the memorial, I would have definitely gotten into trouble with you."
