Before the officers came, they had been warned by Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang once said that if they ran into Shen Xining, they should never have a head-on conflict with her, because her identity was special and they could not afford to provoke her.
Upon seeing this, the officer quickly saluted.
"It turned out to be Miss Shen. We were blind and failed to recognize the great man. We have delayed Miss Shen's plan. Please don't be angry. We will leave now. However, this manor has to be sealed today. There is really no other way."
Shen Xining nodded. She knew that the manor might not be saved today, but it was good enough that she could save Jiang Yu first.
Seeing this, the officer put down his knife and the two men left.
Jiang Yu was still about to insist, but Shen Xining grabbed his sleeve and whispered.
"There's no need to do that. Even if we are lucky enough to escape today, they will find another excuse to seal this manor in the future. If that's the case, why should we struggle?"
"So now, what should we do?"
"It's better to just remove the firewood from under the cauldron."
Since Xie Zhaoan brought her here, there must be a reason. It cannot be as simple as just finding the book that Shen Xining wanted to find. The fact that the county magistrate is Shen's brother is really worth discussing. Since Lin Jiang insists on making money from the Jiang family, it would be better to directly pull Lin Jiang down. After all, I'm afraid he didn't get this position in a legitimate way.
But where is the original county magistrate
In the next few days, Shen Xining borrowed the manpower, financial resources and material resources of the Jiang family and searched everywhere for the former county magistrate, but he still could not find any trace of that person. It was as if the county magistrate and his family had evaporated.
Jiang Yu and the rest of the Jiang family all looked unhappy.
"If that's the case, then it's bad. The previous county magistrate might have been killed, and now this county magistrate has taken that person's place. If that's really the case, I'm afraid we can only suffer in silence."
Shen Xining looked at Jiang Yu.
"Cousin, do you remember what I told you during the day? If we take a step back today, then the government will find that the Jiang family is just a paper tiger. On the surface, it looks like an airtight wall, but in fact it will break with a single poke. If this is really the case, the day of the Jiang family's demise will not be long."
The head of the Jiang family's face changed.
"What are you talking about, girl..."
Jiang Yu shook his head, signaling his father to stay calm.
"Father, forget it. What my cousin said is true. It's just that the truth hurts. Our Jiang family is very wealthy. I'm afraid that there are countless eyes on us all over the country. We just didn't know it. Cousin, I need your help in this matter."
Shen Xining nodded, but was not angry because of his uncle's reaction.
Their two families haven't had any contact for many years, and they had gradually become estranged due to conflicts of interest. Now, she suddenly appears and asks the Jiang family for help to get her mother's posthumous work. Whether the Jiang family is angry or unhappy, it is normal and there is nothing difficult to understand and accept.
To reassure them, she smiled instead.
"Cousin, you are being polite. Originally, this matter between us was a transaction. Now, I am just doing what I should do. Why are you being so polite?"
After hearing this, Jiang Yu smiled helplessly.
How could he not know that Shen Xining's words were just to comfort him? The Shen family was now extremely powerful. If they really wanted to find the posthumous works left by their aunt, all they needed was a word or a letter. How could the Jiang family dare not do it? In terms of feelings, she was from the Shen family, and her aunt was also from the Shen family. She was also the only bloodline left by her aunt in this world. In this case, the Jiang family would do her request carefully no matter what. Besides, it was not a big deal.
Shen Xining said this now just to avoid embarrassing the Jiang family.
How could the people in the Jiang family not understand
But having said that, it is still a difficult problem to decide what should be done.
Chun Xing looked at Shen Xining pacing back and forth in the room anxiously, and he also became a little anxious.
"Miss, what should we do now? The county magistrate clearly did it on purpose. Even the laws of this dynasty do not allow for this kind of approach. They are coming with such a fierce force, there must be someone behind them directing them. If we want to resist, I'm afraid we will need to rely on the power of the Shen family."
However, the relationship between the Jiang family and the Shen family has always been average. This time she came to the Jiang family only to visit relatives and did not say that she would be involved in a lawsuit. Now that the Shen family is in a troubled time, Master Shen will definitely not agree to get involved in this muddy water.
After hearing Chun Xing's words, Shen Xining sat down instead.
"Tomorrow, let's make a deal and this matter will be over."
Although Chun Xing was confused, when he saw Yue Wei outside the restaurant the next day, he understood everything.
"you... ... "
"Miss Haruyuki, what a coincidence! We meet again."
Haruki was still angry about what happened outside the teahouse last time. Yuewei clearly knew everything last time, but he just watched her cry for a whole night without saying a word. He really is a heartless guy. Haruki snorted coldly, which made Yuewei a little at a loss.
"Hey, Miss Haruyuki, are you still angry? There are cakes for sale over there, how about I buy some for you?"
Chunxing didn't say a word. Yuewei touched the back of his head and decided to go buy it first.
He had also heard those men complaining when he was on guard before. They said that their wives liked to make trouble for no reason and were always losing their temper. Whenever this happened, these men could only buy some sweets and pastries. Although the effect was not particularly good, at least it was somewhat effective.
Xie Zhaoan and Shen Xining in the room heard the entire conversation. Xie Zhaoan took a sip of tea and spoke lightly.
"It seems like it's a good idea for your maid to pair up with Yuewei."
Shen Xining didn't say anything.
"Haruyuki's marriage has always been her own decision. If she doesn't like something, I won't force her."
Xie Zhaoan raised his eyebrows.
"Lord Shen seems to have some hidden meaning in his words. Could it be that he is not talking about his maid, but his marriage? Lord Shen said this, but he forgot that it was Lord Shen who made the choice in the teahouse that day. No one forced Lord Shen?"
Although he called him "Lord Shen" every time, there was no trace of respect in his words. Instead, no matter from which angle you looked at it, it felt like he was being sarcastic.
