Mother Li had a premonition that her trip to Fucheng might not go smoothly.
But I didn't expect it would be so unsatisfactory.
The prefect's wife received them warmly at first, but after she explained her purpose, her attitude immediately cooled down.
Although no one was asked to beat them out, they just sent the guests off with a cold face.
As for the benefits promised by the Duke's government, they simply ignored them.
Of course, none of the gifts I brought were accepted.
Mother Li kept her posture very low and respectful throughout the whole process, and only conveyed the old lady's meaning tactfully.
She didn't dare to show the slightest bit of toughness as a popular mother around the Duke's wife.
After all, even some of the masters in the house would respect her as a capable steward around the old lady.
In this way, although the matter was not completed, it was still possible to get out of the city without any danger.
However, the road behind was not smooth, and we encountered thunderstorms and strong winds.
One carriage was stuck in the mud and could not get out, another carriage overturned, and the two-color glass bottle placed on the carriage was also broken.
This pair of two-color glass bottles alone is worth a lot of money.
Mother Li was about to cry but had no tears. She was soaked by the rain and felt anxious and scared.
"Mother Li, God must be angry, wuwu...we are going to die here..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I told you that the Lord of Fude cannot be offended. Now it's better, but we will have to pay for our lives..."
"What can we do? God won't kill us... wuwu... I don't want to die..."
A group of girls and women looked at Mother Li with fear, and began to cry in fear.
Mother Li also wanted to cry, but what would happen if she cried?
It was already the afternoon of the second day when we finally returned to the county town.
Faced with the embarrassed appearance of Mother Li and others, the maids and women in the inn, as well as the shopkeeper and the waiters, were not surprised at all.
On the contrary, he had an expression that was indeed true.
However, the old lady broke her leg and was lying on the bed, the third young lady was also ill in bed, and the young master was unconscious.
Therefore, no matter how lively the discussions among the servants were, they could not reach the ears of a few masters.
Mother Li took the risk this time and knelt directly in front of the old lady's bed.
"Old madam, it's better to give up on this marriage. This wealthy village owner is really someone you can't mess with..."
Mother Li's body was covered in mud, her hair was messy, she looked extremely haggard, and her eyes were filled with shock and fear.
When the old lady saw Mother Li's appearance, she felt a little nervous.
"It's just a thunderstorm. What does it have to do with that little girl?" The old lady suppressed the panic in her heart and said with an inner look: "You have been by my side for so many years in vain, and you would say such stupid things..."
Mother Li, "..."
Is she confused?
The old lady must have been confused herself!
"If this marriage is canceled, what will Jin'er do? Where is the face of the Duke's Palace?" The old lady continued: "Since Magistrate Xia is so ignorant and dares to refute the reputation of the Duke's Palace, then his son will never even think of joining the army in his life.
It’s over!”
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Mama Wang and Zi Zhu who were silent in the room.
"Tomorrow, you guys, along with all the servants and guards, as well as the Yamen sent by Magistrate Zheng, will go to the Su family to bring me back!" The old lady said fiercely: "I don't believe that the Su family dares to do this for me.
My daughter, fight against the government!"
**
The old lady made harsh words in the county inn, but Magistrate Xia, Madam Xia, and Xia Siya had already arrived at Daliushu Village.
"What on earth is going on?" Mrs. Xia asked anxiously as soon as she entered the door: "Why did the British government have the idea of Fuya?"
Old Mrs. Su quickly asked Magistrate Xia and his wife to sit down, and then asked the fourth child to go to the thatched house and call Old Man Su.
When Xia Siya heard that the little sugar baby was also at the thatched house, she immediately ran away with the fourth baby.
Mrs. Xia didn't bother scolding her daughter for being impatient, she was only worried about the affairs of the British government.
"It's like this. At first, the British Duke asked County Magistrate Zheng's wife to be the matchmaker..."
Mrs. Su simply told what happened.
"It's so deceiving!" Mrs. Xia said angrily: "With the help of the British government, in order for Fuya to celebrate their sick grandson, they did everything possible! Why don't they go to heaven? Do you think they do anything?
The British government has great wealth and power, so it can be lawless..."
Mrs. Xia's face was full of anger and she squirted wildly, which showed that she was very angry.
So much so that the momentum and posture she spoke were quite similar to her daughter Xia Siya.
It can be seen from this that Xia Siya's boyish temperament actually has some reasons for Mrs. Xia.
When Mrs. Su saw this, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.
I originally agreed that my daughter would recognize this marriage, but it was difficult to contradict Mrs. Xia's good intentions.
Little did he know that he really loved his daughter.
"How did your Excellency and Madam know about this?" Mrs. Su asked curiously.
"That old woman from the British government actually sent people to the city, hoping to use Zhen'er's future to force us to facilitate this marriage..."
With an angry look on her face, Mrs. Xia recounted the story of the British government sending people to Fucheng.
After listening to Mrs. Xia's words, Mrs. Su couldn't help but feel even more moved when she learned that the Xia family would not hesitate to offend the British father for the sake of their little sugar baby.
Not to mention goddaughters, there are many people who use biological daughters to exchange their sons' futures and seek benefits for the family.
It is really not easy for Magistrate Xia and his wife to do this for Sugar Baby.
At this time, Old Man Su came back with Little Sugar Baby and Xia Siya.
"I've met your lord, madam." Old Man Su saluted quickly.
Magistrate Xia quickly helped Old Su up, "Brother Su is out again, isn't he?"
The little sugar baby ran forward and sweetly shouted: "Godfather! Godmother!"
"Why!"
"Why!"
Magistrate Xia and Mrs. Xia agreed in unison.
Originally, his face was angry because of the British government affairs.
Now when I see the little sugar baby, my expression seamlessly switches to a full smile.
Mrs. Xia directly hugged the little sugar baby into her arms.
"Hurry up and show your godmother, you really want to hurt your godmother..."
Mrs. Xia looked at the little sugar baby with a smile on her face. The more she looked at it, the more she fell in love with it.
Xia Siya smiled beside her and said, "My mother talks about Sister Fuya all day long at home and wishes she could turn me into Sister Fuya."
"Aren't you the same, talking about your sister Fuya like three meals a day?" Mrs. Xia gave Xia Siya an angry look.
After saying that, he gave the little sugar baby a kiss on his face.
"Such a good girl, of course my mother will talk about it..."
The little sugar baby said with a smile: "The sugar baby also wants to fuck my mother..."
"Do you only want to be your mother?" Magistrate Xia said with a sour look on his face.
"I also want to be a father." The little sugar baby said with a cute face.
Well, her sugar baby is very good at coaxing people.
"Hehehe..." Zhifu Xia smiled with a few wrinkles on his face.
"Dad! Mom!"
Following the words, Su Laoer walked in with vigorous steps.
