Brother Shen, Are You Trying to Sever Ties with Me?
Prefect Fang's expression was also unpleasant; he was now caught in a dilemma.
The Jiangnan Surveillance Commissioner was a third-rank official, while he was only a fourth-rank official. How could he dare to confront him directly?
But he didn't dare offend Zhou Wanwan either; that little girl was incredibly cunning, and he was genuinely afraid she would empty out his entire house.
Recently, his thinking has undergone a complete transformation, mainly because Fang Zhiyuan day.
Fang Zhiyuan a very high opinion of Gu Sinian and Zhou Wanwan.
They praised him incessantly every day, to the point that Prefect Fang now wondered if Fang Zhiyuan had been bewitched.
Prefect Fang coughed and said, "Actually, Zhou Wanwan only made a suggestion. Whether we adopt it or not is in our hands, isn't it?"
Jiangnan Surveillance Commissioner Nie Shi'an sneered:
"You guys really broadened my horizons, praising a little girl so highly."
Since the people of Dongshan Prefecture don't care, then the people of Jiangnan Prefecture will take care of it.
I absolutely have to teach this child what rules are."
Shen Congrong watched the spectacle from the sidelines, and he lowered his voice to say:
"Young lady, if you beg me now and return those two houses to me, I'll help you settle things with Nie Shi'an, how about that?"
Let me tell you, this Nie Shi'an is no good.
He also has a son named Nie Feng, who is a wicked and mischievous devil!
If you go to their house, you will definitely be tortured to the point of death.
And his family has a shrew, she's really something! You..."
Nie Shi'an's face darkened. Why didn't they say this behind people's backs?
Nie Shi'an looked at Shen Congrong and said, "Brother Shen, do you want to break off our friendship?"
Shen Congrong quickly waved her hand and said:
"How could I possibly break off our friendship? We have such a good relationship, of course I'd side with you, right?"
Wasn't I just advising the little girl to be more sensible?
Zhou Wanwan pouted and said, "Waaah... I don't want to go, I want to go home."
Nie Shi'an scoffed coldly:
"That's not up to you. I have some good news for you. I've recently been transferred from the Jiangnan Surveillance Commissioner to the position of Provincial Surveillance Commissioner of Dongshan Prefecture."
Therefore, if this grain cannot produce several thousand kilograms per mu, then I will charge you with deception.
Zhou Wanwan looked at the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner of Dongshan Prefecture and said, "You mean you're going to imprison me indefinitely?"
Nie Shi'an snorted coldly and said, "That's right, I've been imprisoning you. Now come with me!"
Prefect Fang shouted, "Wait..."
Nie Shi'an looked at him and said, "What advice does Lord Fang have for you? Are you perhaps reluctant to part with it?"
Prefect Fang gave a wry smile and said:
"No, no, no, Zhou Wanwan, Wanwan, when you go to his residence, please don't be naughty."
You need to behave properly, understand?
Zhou Wanwan looked at him with a wronged expression and said, "You really don't plan to save me?"
Prefect Fang looked at her helplessly and said, "My Little Ancestor, how do you want me to save you? He's a higher-ranking official than me!"
Zhou Wanwan said with a wronged expression:
"Fine! I knew you were unreliable. These sweet potatoes take several months to grow!"
"Does Lord Nie intend to make me stay in jail for several months?"
Nie Shi'an sneered:
"What? Can't you stay in jail?"
Don't worry, this government office has special prisons; we'll prepare one for you.
However, I'm not as easy to talk to as Lord Shen. You want to live in the woodshed? Don't even think about it."
Shen Congrong looked at him and said:
"Nie Shi'an, I was just trying to scare the child, I wasn't really going to lock her in the woodshed."
You're different now; you're really going to send her to jail!
"That won't do, she still needs to see a doctor for my father-in-law."
Nie Shi'an sneered:
"Shen Congrong, what exactly do you mean? Have you learned to lie now? You're letting a six-year-old child treat your father-in-law's illness?"
I just don't understand what magic a child has that makes you all speak up for her.
And this child never tells the truth, which is what I hate most about her.
Tell me, what kind of grain can grow two or three thousand catties per mu?
Have you all lost your brains?
Shen Congrong looked at him and said:
"Anyway, if anything happens to my father-in-law, my wife will not forgive me."
My wife won't let me off the hook, and I won't be able to live a normal life either.
We must take her back today.
Nie Shi'an scoffed coldly:
"Alright, alright, then I'll have someone follow her until she cures your father-in-law."
"I'll bring her to my place again, is that alright?"
Shen Congrong glared at him and said, "Nie Shi'an, you've gone too far! I never imagined you could be so heartless towards a child."
Nie Shi'an pointed at his nose and cursed:
"Am I heartless, or have you gone too far? You actually let a child spread rumors and mislead the public."
If many people plant her sweet potato, what if it doesn't grow well?
Do you know how many people this will kill?
Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:
"We've grown these sweet potatoes ourselves, that's why we're kindly sharing them with you."
If you're not willing to accept this, then don't plant it!
"It's not a big deal, why do you have to imprison me?"
Nie Shi'an glared at her and said:
"You're sophistry and eloquent, and I've heard you even have academic credentials, having passed the county-level imperial examination at such a young age?"
"A six-year-old child has become a scholar? Does your Dongshan Prefecture have no one else to rely on?"
The officials of Dongshan Prefecture remained silent. Zhou Wanwan pouted and said, "I earned my official rank through my own abilities."
"Hahaha... What a joke! I've never seen a six-year-old pass the imperial examination and become a scholar!"
Shen Congrong, then I'll do it for your sake and bring her to my residence tomorrow. Why don't you eat a little more tonight?
Starting tomorrow, you won't be able to eat such delicious food anymore.
Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said:
"What? Is this your last meal before you're executed? You eat it today, and you won't get any tomorrow?"
Or is it that you have nothing to eat in your household?
Nie Shi'an was too lazy to talk to her anymore and simply turned and left.
Shen Congrong looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Can't you change your temper? Can't you say a few nice words?"
Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said:
"Haven't you noticed that Nie Shi'an isn't very bright?"
Don't you think I have communication difficulties with him?
Even if I say a few nice words, will he be fooled by me?
In the end, won't I still end up as a prisoner?
Shen Congrong touched her nose and said, "So what do we do now?"
"Cold dish."
Prefect Fang looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Wanwan! Those sweet potato vines..."
Zhou Wanwan glared at him and said:
"You still want sweet potato vines? Dream on, I'm about to go to jail for sweet potato vines."
None of you spoke up for me, and now you want my sweet potato vines? No way!
I'm so angry!
These officials all wanted both.
Anyway, Zhou Wanwan didn't indulge her and went straight back to Madam Shen's estate.
When Madam Shen saw her return, she hugged her and said:
Where have you been? I thought you went back!
I made you lots of snacks, just waiting for you to come back!
