Female Supreme: Population is in crisis, I have a fruit-bearing tree

When they heard that they had to go to Ziyunling again, everyone was not happy.

Ziyun Ridge was steep and difficult to climb. They had lived a life of luxury all day long and could not endure the hardship. Immediately, some of them discussed with Luo Pinzheng to protest.

"Lord Luo, why don't we just press the hand seal? I really can't climb that mountain with my body! Besides, there are many ferocious beasts in Ziyun Ridge, and I don't know how to fight, so I can't even tie up a chicken!"

"Yes, yes! I'm an old man now, and it's almost killing me to climb halfway. Lord Luo, can I ask my daughter or the housekeeper to go and take a look?"

Once one person speaks up, more people will be led to do the same. At this time, those who are older or those who are too lazy to move will all speak up and make suggestions.

Su Qinghe stood there without saying a word, watching the group of people making a fuss.

Luo Pinzheng raised his hand and pressed the air, and waited until everyone's voices died down before he spoke with a helpless look on his face.

"Everyone, Luo has no choice! This is His Majesty's order, how can it be changed at will?"

"I just heard a while ago that an inspector has come to Sanchuan next door. They are so close, he might come to our place in a couple of days. We can't be careless during this special period!"

Speaking of the Inspector, Luo Pinzheng's expression became cautious and everyone frowned.

Seeing that they all obviously had concerns, Luo Pinzheng was happy and added fuel to the fire.

"But don't worry, I have already arranged bamboo chairs and food for you. I will also bring a lot of things for rest. The government doctor and soldiers will also go with you, so you won't be in any danger."

She had made her words very clear. Everyone murmured in private, knowing that there was no room for negotiation on the matter, and could only smile bitterly and nod in agreement.

If there were people who really couldn't go, they all agreed to let their eldest daughters go instead.

The thing was done, Luo Pinzheng was radiant and his face was full of joy that he couldn't hide.

"Master Su." She turned to Su Qinghe with a smile.

"That's what I want to talk about today. It's really hard to disobey the emperor's order. I'm really sorry for delaying you for so long. You must come the day after tomorrow!"

Su Qinghe looked at her with a fake smile.

"Lord Luo, Su's business has only been open for less than half a year. How can it be compared with the elders who have been rooted in Tianhe County for many years? There is no need to participate in such a grand event, right?"

Although the imperial edict was written very clearly in black on a yellow background, Su Qinghe always felt that it was not that simple. In addition, she did not trust Luo Pinzheng's character, so she instinctively did not want to get involved in this mess.

Hearing Su Qinghe's words, Luo Pinzheng made an exaggerated expression, spread out his palms and turned half a circle on the spot.

"Master Su is being modest when he says this. Nothing can surpass one's ability."

"Although your business has been in operation for less than half a year, it is now a household name in Tianhe County. Who doesn't know Shilixiang? Just look at the people who came to your house today. It's enough! Don't you think so?"

The group of people originally wanted to curry favor with Su Qinghe, and now they would not miss this opportunity to flatter her. They all nodded and praised Su Qinghe's abilities.

The question was agreed by everyone, and Luo Pinzheng looked at Su Qinghe with satisfaction.

"Master Su, listen to this. Everyone thinks you can do it, so don't refuse. Besides, this is also to help His Majesty! We are all Dawu people, so we should do our duty!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Voices of agreement rang out. Su Qinghe bit the soft flesh on her cheek, looked at Luo Pinzheng for a few seconds, smiled politely and nodded.

"Since Lord Luo thinks so highly of me, I will respectfully obey your orders. Please tell me a time, and I will be there on time."

Su Qinghe cursed Luo Pinzheng in her heart, but remained polite on the surface.

Having achieved his goal, Luo Pinzheng bowed to everyone around him.

"Thank you very much, everyone. We will meet at the mountainside of Lingyan Mountain at 1:00 pm the day after tomorrow."

The women who came sighed for a while, but still agreed.

Luo Pinzheng finally said sorry to Su Qinghe and turned back to sit in his seat.

The incident was over, the banquet resumed, and the performances were invited again, but everyone obviously lost interest in the second half. Everyone was whispering to each other about the trip the day after tomorrow.

Su Qinghe saw the opportunity and quickly ended today's banquet.

Everyone was in a hurry to go back and make arrangements, so they said goodbye and left one after another. Not long after, only Qin Anmin and her husband were left in Su Qinghe's house.

After comforting Lin Xi and the others, they went back to the house to rest. Su Qinghe waved away the servants around them, and Qin Anmin's husband also sensibly went to wait in the carriage outside.

"Sister Qin, what do you think about what Luo Pinzheng said?"

Su Qinghe sat at the same table as Qin Anmin and asked with a serious face.

Seeing her so serious, Qin Anmin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he took an empty glass and poured her some wine.

"Don't be so nervous, sister-in-law. I have seen the imperial edict just now. It is absolutely authentic. The handwriting is also that of His Majesty. It cannot be fake."

She grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them into her mouth, chewing them along with the wine.

"Hmm...Your Majesty still has some sense of propriety. After all, for such a big event, the defense cannot be neglected. It is not surprising that he issued such an order."

"Although Luo Pinzheng is a corrupt official, he only dares to harm the people. He is not so bold as to do such a thing."

"We can go there the day after tomorrow without any worries. Have you forgotten that I still have my soldiers on Ziyun Ridge?"

"At the beginning, Luo Pinzheng asked me to borrow a whole battalion to dig the mountain. There are almost a thousand people in total. The people arranged there have been keeping in touch with me, so nothing will go wrong."

"Sister-in-law, you are just too cautious on weekdays!"

Seeing that Su Qinghe still had some concerns on her face, Qin Anmin laughed and patted her shoulder.

After finishing the last bit of peanuts on the plate and making sure there was no more wine left in the jug, Qin Anmin stood up and said goodbye.

"Today's wine is really delicious. It's getting late. Sister-in-law, you should go to bed early. Seeing your four little ones today has made me want to touch them. I have to go back and hug my darling daughters. Hahaha..."

Qin Anmin's voice gradually faded away. Su Qinghe rubbed his eyebrows, asked Zhang Fu to deal with the rest of the matters, and decisively went to find Ling Feng.

Although Qin Anmin said so, she was still worried. After she left, she had to ask Ling Feng to send more people to prevent any accidents from happening in the mansion.

In fact, she could have found many ways to prevent herself from going, but since Qin Anmin was going, she had to follow. After all, she was a rare good friend and Qin Angge's sister, and she couldn't let anything happen to her.

After Su Qinghe told Ling Feng about her concerns, Ling Feng agreed without hesitation and sent the message out overnight.

"Do you want me to send someone to follow behind?"

Ling Feng thought about it, frowned and asked Su Qinghe, "Or... I'll go with you."
