Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Chapter 568 You don’t even know Tong’an County?

In fact, what Shen Zheng was most curious about was where Mo Qingwan's mother, Mo Li, was.

The last time Mo Qingwan talked to her, he deliberately avoided Mo Lishi. Shen Zheng thought that Mo Lishi was no longer alive, otherwise why would she disappear in this series of events?

The information that could be found indicated that Mrs. Mo Li, the wife of the Mo family, was indeed at home, but she had been suffering from illness for many years and rarely went out.

But in today's situation, even those who "rarely go out" should have some reaction.

"Sir Shen." The gatekeeper who had left earlier came back at some point, his voice slightly apologetic: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you with the farce in the mansion. I have sent someone to notify the government office, and they will be here soon. There is an alley over there that leads to the government office, otherwise you..."

"It's quite interesting." Shen Zheng turned around and lowered her voice: "I'll watch it for a while, if you have anything else to do, go ahead and do it."

The soldiers' faces stiffened when they heard this.

He had no idea whether the word "interesting" from Shen Zheng's mouth was a compliment or criticism. In his personal opinion, what was happening was quite disgraceful to the city.

He was silent for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "I have nothing to do. I will wait for you at the carriage. If you have anything to say, just send someone to call me."

Lord Shen has come to the provincial capital with great difficulty. If he is assaulted by the people right under his nose, even if he has ten skins, they will not be enough for the prefect to peel off.

Shen Zheng nodded to him and continued to look at Mo Qingwan.

At this point, the "farce" had already reached its "white-hot" stage. Mo Qingwan had no intention of getting entangled with his tribesmen any longer, so he pulled the reins and prepared to leave.

She still held the marriage certificate high, "I hope Second Uncle will let me go, don't miss the auspicious time and delay my niece's lifelong event."

"What a great lifelong event!" Mo Ersi took one look and seemed to have made up his mind. He quickly stepped in front of the horse and said angrily, "It's just that there have been a lot of things going on in your family recently. You are afraid of being implicated, so you are eager to cut off your relationship with your family. How can such a good thing happen!"

"Ouch!" The fat aunt slapped her thigh upon hearing this, and said repeatedly: "I told you, I told you! Miss Mo is a smart person, there must be a reason for her sudden marriage, it must be related to her brother's affairs!"

Before Shen Zheng could ask, she turned around and said, "You probably don't know, right? Miss Mo has a younger brother who likes, likes that one!"

As she spoke, she pointed her finger directly at a man with an expression that said "you know".

Shen Zheng nodded in agreement and asked, "He likes... that. Then what happened?"

Speaking of Mo Zonkai, the fat aunt's emotions were clearly revealed: "That conscienceless guy. In short, he is not a good person! Not only did he do all kinds of bad things, but he also wrongly accused people who are scholars in Tongan County and ruined their future! I don't know much more, I'm sure you also know Tongan County. In short, he will definitely not get away this time, and he might even implicate the Mo family!"

Shen Zheng was stunned when he heard this.

What do you mean by "too many to know"? Doesn't she know it very well?

Seeing Shen Zheng stunned, the fat aunt couldn't help but become suspicious: "Girl, don't you know Tongan County?"

Judging from the way this girl is dressed, she doesn’t look like she came from some remote mountain area. How could she not know Tongan County?

Shen Zheng inexplicably felt like they were communicating with a secret code, and said, "Uh," "I know. It's Tong'an County, not far from the city."

The fat aunt nodded in satisfaction: "It doesn't matter how far it is, what matters is that the Mo family kid has bullied Tong'an County, and he will definitely not be able to escape this time!"

The fat aunt was praising Tong'an County in her words and deeds, and the little pool in Shen Zheng's heart began to bubble up - it would be a lie to say that she was not happy to hear the people around her speak so highly of Tong'an County.

Just as Shen Zheng and the other person were talking, the crowd suddenly dispersed to both sides, noisily making way for a path.

"Oh..." The fat aunt spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells, "Are there any new plays to watch?"

Shen Zheng followed her and before she could see the person clearly, she had already heard the person's identity from the common people: "Mrs. Mo? It's really her... How did she become like this now?"

"Mrs. Mo? I haven't seen her for many years. I heard that she has not been in good health. I thought she..."

I thought she was dead.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the ladies of wealthy families would like to go shopping ten times a day and would not stop until they have collected all the clothes and jewelry in the streets and alleys.

But Madam Mo was different. For many years, they had hardly seen Madam Mo in the capital city.

"Mrs. Mo..." Shen Zheng frowned slightly and looked at Mo Qingwan who was sitting on the horse.

Judging from her expression, there seemed to be nothing unusual, as if Mrs. Mo's appearance still did not matter to her.

but......

Shen Zheng moved her eyes downwards and saw that Mo Qingwan's fingers gripping the reins slightly exerted force, and the blood colour on his fingertips faded in an instant.

Is she scared...or angry?

Shen Zheng had no way of knowing, so she could only look at Mo Er who was standing beside the horse.

This man's expression was easy to read. He first looked genuinely surprised, then showed a hint of contempt, and finally revealed an extremely fake smile, which contained a hint of "relief".

It goes without saying why he was "reassured".

Shen Zheng sighed secretly. The situation seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and Mo Qingwan was not confident enough to complete this marriage on his own.

If she really couldn't get away successfully, I... couldn't just sit there and watch.

Madam Mo's health was indeed not good as the people said. If no one else had said it, Shen Zheng would never have associated the old woman with a haggard face and mixed black and white hair with the title of "the wife of a wealthy family".

She was supported by the old nanny and walked very slowly. She never looked at anyone present, including Mo Qingwan.

When she passed by, Shen Zheng smelled a strong, persistent medicinal odor.

It didn't smell very good, as if her whole body was marinated in medicine.

She must have known what happened to Mo Qingwan, but she remained silent for seven years. Shen Zheng couldn't help but wonder, what role did Mo Li play in these seven years?

Is she Mo Zonkai's "loving mother"? Or is she the blind and heartless mistress of the Mo family?

"Sister-in-law is here!" Mo Er's face finally had only one expression. He trotted forward, his back slightly bent, "Oh... Look at this ridiculous thing, it actually alarmed you! Qing Wan is such an unfilial daughter. I tried to persuade her with kind words, but I couldn't stop her. Not only did the neighbors laugh at her, but you also had to make a trip!"

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the crowd.

Shen Zheng looked at him through the veil and thought that this man was extremely twisted.

He really didn't want the neighbors to laugh at the Mo family, because he claimed to be a member of the Mo family. If the neighbors laughed at the Mo family, it would be the same as laughing at him.

But as he spoke, he seemed to wish he could trample Mo Qingwan under his feet and into the mud.

So twisted, so... inferior.
