Chapter 236 Things Have Changed



Sisi first nodded to Lao Bai, then looked at the county magistrate and said, "Ask my Uncle Shen."

The county magistrate knew of Shen Tengwen, a man under his jurisdiction, but they had never interacted. "Mr. Shen, hello! Did my men bother you?"

Shen Tengwen told the county magistrate what the county magistrate's brother-in-law had done.

The magistrate was extremely annoyed after hearing this. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'll go and investigate what else he's done right now."

Sisi: "I've already had someone investigate."

Shen Tengwen: "This is also my fault. I always wanted to settle things peacefully."

The magistrate was also a little annoyed with Shen Tengwen. But he certainly couldn't say that in front of Sisi. "It's not your fault, it's my fault. I haven't had enough contact with the people, and they don't understand me. Miss Yun, it's fortunate that you came to see Mr. Shen, otherwise I don't know when I would have discovered it?"

Sisi waved her hand. "It's alright. It's your first time being an official, so it's understandable that you might not notice some things. However, you really should interact with the people more. The more you interact with them, the better you'll know how to manage them. Only when you manage the people well and they become prosperous can you rise to a higher position."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me."

"You're welcome, come on, have a drink."

"Okay. I'll toast you."

The guards were very efficient; they investigated the matter of the county magistrate and his brother-in-law in less than three days.

The county magistrate not only accepted bribes but also drove someone to suicide, for which he was sentenced to death. His brother-in-law, who had never driven anyone to suicide, was sentenced to five years.

After asking Sisi, the magistrate personally went to Shenjiazhuang to invite Shen Tengwen to serve as his county magistrate.

After Shen Tengwen became the county magistrate, Sisi asked him for another drink.

Sisi played in the neighborhood for a few days before preparing to go play somewhere else.

The county magistrate and Shen Tengwen came to see Sisi off.

Shen Tengwen: "Please give my regards to the old master."

The magistrate said, "Please tell His Highness the Crown Prince that I will not let him down."

"Alright." Sisi looked at the county magistrate and Shen Tengwen and said, "You two should work together to make this county the best in the country."

County Magistrate Shen Tengwen: "Good."

"I'm leaving, you guys go back."

Magistrate: "Take care."

Shen Tengwen: "Until we meet again."

Sisi said "See you later" to Shen Tengwen and then left with her people.

The magistrate looked at Sisi's retreating figure and said, "Mr. Shen, you are very lucky."

"Yes, sir, let's go back too."

"Hmm. How did you come to know Miss Yun Liu?"

Shen Tengwen told the county magistrate how he met Sisi.

After listening, the magistrate couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that people still have to do good. If you had ignored the Yun family when they were down on their luck, you wouldn't have the good fortune you have today."

"Yes. I have always respected Grandpa Yun."

"I also have great respect for Grandpa Yun."

The county magistrate chatted with Shen Tengwen for a while and then went back.

On the other side, Sisi and Lao Bai were tossing coins.

Sisi thought she'd find a beautiful woman if she went north, while Lao Bai thought she'd find one if she went west. So, the two decided to toss a coin.

If the front is facing up, go north; if the back is facing up, go west.

On the other side, Sisi's aunt, Yun Qingying, was directing the servants to tidy up the house when a maidservant walked in. "Madam, two young masters have arrived outside. They said... said..."

"say what?"

"Those two young masters said they were the sons of Third Uncle." Doesn't Third Uncle only have one son? Also, isn't Third Uncle's son the Thirteenth Cousin?

After Madam Yun and Yun Yuqi returned from the border, Yun Qingying's family moved out of the Yun family compound. Additionally, Yun Qingying's mother-in-law's family also came to the capital with Yun Qingying.

The Yun family initially arranged for Feng Yuanfu to marry into the family to avoid bringing trouble to the Feng family. Now that the previous dynasty has fallen, the relationship between Yun Qingying and Feng Yuanfu has returned to normal.

The servants in Yun Qingying's household were all newly hired and had no idea that Yun Yuqi had a wife and two sons before.

Yun Qingying was filled with mixed emotions after hearing the maid's words. "Let them in."

"yes."

A moment later, the maidservant brought in Sun Yueqian and Sun Weiqian.

After the Yun family was exiled, the Sun family, to show that they wanted to sever all ties with the Yun family, not only made Sun Wanjing and Yun Yuqi's two sons take their surname, but also gave them two new names: the eldest, Sun Yueqian, and the second, Sun Weiqian.

Sun Yueqian and Sun Weiqian burst into tears as soon as they saw Yun Qingying. "Auntie."

Yun Qingying's eyes also reddened. "Don't cry, don't cry, if you cry, your aunt will want to cry too."

As Sun Yueqian wiped away his tears, he choked back sobs and said, "Auntie, we don't want to cry either. But... but we can't help it. Auntie, have you been doing alright these past few years?"

"Not bad. How about you guys?"

Sun Yueqian: "We can do that too. We just miss my father, you, and my great-grandfather."

Sun Weiqian: "Auntie, you used to treat us even better than my mother did. We miss you so much since you left."

"Your aunt misses you too. Come, sit down."

Sun Yueqian: "We must kowtow to you first."

Sun Weiqian: "Yes, yes, I got so excited that I forgot. Aunt, please sit down, we'll kowtow to you."

"No, no need."

"Use it." The two brothers helped Yun Qingying to a chair and then kowtowed to her.

Yun Qingying wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

"good."

After the two brothers sat down, they chatted with Yun Qingying about everyday things, and the conversation eventually turned to Sisi.

Sun Yueqian looked at Yun Qingying and said, "We went to see my father a few days ago. He said a few words to us and then left. Was he afraid that my sixth sister would be angry?"

"Xiao Liu isn't that petty."

"What about my father?"

“Your father must be busy. Well, if you ever have any problems in the future, come to your aunt, and I'll help you solve them.”

"...Aunt, are you also afraid that Sixth Sister will be angry?"

"Don't worry about upsetting your sixth sister, your aunt and I are very close. You all know that your aunt has had another son, right?"

"Know."

"When your eldest aunt was pregnant with your little cousin, there was war everywhere, and she didn't dare to give birth. When your sixth sister found out, she said to her, 'Aunt, please give birth. I guarantee this place won't be occupied by barbarians for two years. After two years, your little cousin will be a little older and can come with us to escape.' Only after your sixth sister said that did your eldest aunt dare to give birth. Isn't your sixth sister good to your eldest aunt?"

Sun Yueqian: "Okay."

Sun Weiqian: "Auntie, she was that capable back then?"

"Yes. Let me tell you, not only your little cousin, but also my life and your cousin Xingyao's life were saved by Xiao Liu. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, come to your aunt, and I will help you solve them."

It means don't go looking for my father.

Sun Yueqian: "Auntie, we miss my father."

Seeing that they still wouldn't give up even after she had said it twice, Yun Qingying said directly, "It's no use thinking about it. Who told your mother to be afraid of death back then? If you have any problems in the future, come to your aunt. If you insist on going to your father, then your aunt won't help you."
