Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

He Guang, who was standing by, was smiling and chatting with Magistrate Zhang the whole time. He felt that this trip was the right one. If nothing else, just seeing the thousand miles of gold was a feast for the eyes.

He had lived for most of his life and had never seen so much silver, let alone gold. He would have something to brag about when he returned.

After Magistrate Zhang and his companions left, Shen Ping packed a chicken and some pork offal for the village chief to take back. After all, the village chief was the most powerful person in the village.

Although I am from Yu'an, I still have to give him this face.

"Dachun Niang, oh, that's not right!" The village chief quickly changed his words: "You have been conferred the title of Sixth-Rank Anren, so logically I should bring something to congratulate you. How can I have the nerve to take your things?" The village chief blushed.

If he accepted it, wouldn't it be like he was eating and drinking for free? It would be so ugly if this got out, and he couldn't afford to lose face like that.

"Village chief, look at what you said. I'm just an ordinary woman. Without you, village chief, I wouldn't be where I am today." After hearing Shen Ping's words, the village chief felt relieved and accepted it calmly.

After seeing them off, Shen Ping still couldn't get rid of the words that Eunuch Liang had said: "The Emperor gave several beautiful girls to the Tenth Prince..."

Shen Ping had a headache. She didn't dare to let Erya know this, for fear that she would not be able to bear it. She saw that Erya was in a bad mood during this period.

After reading the letter that Dachun brought back a few days ago, she felt much better.

I didn’t expect the changes to be so fast. Shen Ping couldn’t believe it. Who was not telling the truth?

After work in the evening, as soon as everyone came back, Liu Ya and Le Le couldn't wait to tell them what happened today, and also said that the emperor had rewarded them with a lot of gold.

Everyone was very excited after hearing this and started asking Wu about the situation.

Erya's focus was different from theirs. She looked at Shen Ping, as if she wanted to know the news about Shenyang from Shen Ping. Shen Ping knew what she meant, but she pretended not to see it.

"Mom, please show me what the one thousand taels of gold look like!" Si Ya kept pestering her, and Dachun and his wife and Sanchun also looked over.

"I'll just take a look." Si Ya said and raised her index finger.

"Okay!" Looking at the looks of Dachun and Sanchun, although they didn't say it explicitly, Shen Ping knew that they also wanted to see it.

Just go with the flow and let them see it, otherwise they will feel anxious.

Shen Ping had already put the gold into the space. She went back to the room and took the gold out of the space, then opened the door and let them go in to take a look.

All the boxes were opened, filled with gold ingots, and the whole room suddenly became bright.

"Wow!"

Si Ya screamed and lay down beside the box. She picked up one of the gold ingots with her hand. They were heavy, probably weighing several taels each.

"Fourth sister, you'd better be careful. This is a reward from the emperor!" Dachun reminded anxiously.

"It's okay. Look, since it was given to me as a reward, it belongs to me!" Shen Ping laughed.

Dachun carefully picked up a gold ingot, which emitted a golden light: "Mom, are these all real?" Dachun said in disbelief.

After hearing Dachun's words, Shen Ping became nervous. She looked around and found that there was no one else there, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he said, "Boss, these are all gifts from the emperor. You can't talk nonsense. If it gets out, you will be beheaded."

Dachun was so scared that he threw the gold ingot in his hand away. Wen rolled her eyes at Dachun and pointed at his head with her index finger: "You, luckily there is no one else here, otherwise mother can't protect you."

Si Ya picked up the gold ingot and looked at it from left to right: "To see if it's real, I'll try taking a bite of it." After saying that, she opened her mouth and bit down. Immediately, several clear teeth marks appeared on the gold ingot.

"It's true!" Si Ya said in surprise.

"Of course it's real. It's a reward from the emperor, so how can it be fake?" Shen Ping said with a smile.

"Okay, you've seen it, I've locked it up. Remember, this treasure can't be exposed to the public. Remember what happened with your fourth uncle last time? Don't tell anyone about it!"

Thinking of the last time that the idiot stole gold, Shen Ping couldn't help but criticize them again. Last time it was only dozens of taels of gold, but now it's directly a thousand taels of gold. If someone is blinded by the money and takes the risk, I really can't defend myself.

"We know!" Sanchun nodded heavily.

"Come, these are silks and satins bestowed by the emperor. Take a look and pick whichever ones you like." Shen Ping opened the cabinet and took out all the cloth inside.

"Wow!" Si Ya screamed again. These silk fabrics were smooth, drapey, and not prone to wrinkles.

"I want this color!" Si Ya picked up a light yellow one.

"I want this~"

"Sister-in-law, this color is also good~"

"Wife, I think this pattern suits you~"

After a while of selection, everyone chose two horses. Erya only chose one, while Liuya and Siya chose two horses each. The first and third wives also chose two horses each.

"Mom, I like this color. When will you ask someone to make new clothes for me?" Liu Ya asked happily while holding the cloth.

"I'll ask your aunt to see if she's free."

"it is good!"

Everyone left with the selected fabrics. After watching them leave, Shen Ping closed the door and put the gold back into the room.

After dinner, everyone took a shower and went back to their rooms.

"Knock knock knock..."

There was a knock on Shen Ping's door.

"Who?"

Shen Ping was still in the space, counting the gold, when she suddenly heard the door open.

"Mom, I'm Erya, I have something to ask you."

"Ugh!"

Shen Ping sighed. If Erya didn’t come to see her, she really didn’t want to talk about Shenyang.

But since she asked, I can only tell her the truth. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one.

Shen Ping opened the door and saw Erya standing outside, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"come in!"

"Mother~"

Erya stood at the door, with no intention of coming in. She said tentatively, "I want to ask you if the imperial envoy has any other news about Shenyang."

"Yes, but it's not good!" After thinking it over again and again, Shen Ping decided to say it out loud. Sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"Promise your mother that no matter what you hear, don't get excited." Shen Ping said worriedly.

"Mom, don't worry!" Erya looked at Shen Ping with burning eyes. She had already made the worst plan.

"I heard from the Imperial Envoy that the Emperor gave Shenyang a lot of gifts, including a temporary palace and several newly promoted beauties."

After Shen Ping finished speaking, she looked at Erya nervously. Unexpectedly, there was no big change on Erya's face.

"Erya, don't be sad. If he doesn't come back, I will find a good family for you." Shen Ping wanted to comfort her.

"No~"

Erya said with determination: "I must wait for him and will not marry anyone else." Then she turned and went back to her room, leaving Shen Ping with a puzzled look on her face.

Erya's reaction was so abnormal, so abnormal that Shen Ping found it a little hard to believe.

I thought she would burst into tears when she heard the news, but I didn't expect her to be so calm.

Erya knew that Shenyang had made great contributions after returning, and the emperor would definitely reward him, but she chose to believe Shenyang.

She could feel the deep affection between the lines of Shenyang's words a few days ago, and she had to wait for him. Erya didn't believe that he really married Xiunu.
