Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Jiang Yuzhu took several maids to the back house and found that there were still eight or nine women who could not find their homes.

Everyone wiped each other's tears and huddled together for warmth. Although their eyes were red, their emotions had stabilized a lot.

"I've met Mrs. Xie."

Hearing the footsteps, a group of women hurriedly stood up and knelt down.

One of the delicate-looking women mustered up her courage and said, "Mrs. Xie, Peony, a folk girl, was handed over by Sister Xu. If you hadn't helped me, Sister Xu would have died in unknown circumstances."

Even if the people suspected that Shi You was involved, there was still no substantial evidence, and rumors would fly everywhere.

Shaoyao was so choked that she couldn't speak any more, and she kowtowed twice.

Seeing this, Hong Li hurriedly helped her and said quickly: "My wife is the most kind-hearted. She doesn't want to see women suffering. She will always help her if she encounters her."

Jiang Yuzhu waved her hands and said in a calm tone: "Get up and talk quickly. I hope I don't have the chance to help."

The world is unfair, and a kind-hearted woman got such a miserable ending.

If he dies miserably despite being stigmatized, God will not be able to explain it.

"Do you have any plans?"

Jiang Yuzhu discovered that Shaoyao, who claimed to be the handkerchief delivered by Miss Xu, was the core figure, and the other women listened to her.

Sure enough, after Jiang Yuzhu asked, the other women looked at Shaoyao uneasily.

"In reply to Madam Xie, the daughter's father and mother died early, leaving only her brother and sister-in-law in the family..."

Shaoyao did not shy away, she was homeless.

"My brother is kind, but he is also soft-spoken. He used to listen to his sister-in-law's words. Now that a commoner's daughter has lost her reputation, she can't do anything when she comes home, except for causing trouble for her brother and sister-in-law and being criticized by others."

Shaoyao heard that the yamen would give him a sum of money for severance. Although it was not much, it was enough to feed him for two or three years.

In today's world, a woman alone cannot support a family, so it is better for these suffering women to gather together.

There is strength in numbers and it is not easy to be bullied.

"Ruyang can't stay anymore, and has no nostalgia. Folk girls heard that it's normal for women in border towns to show their faces. Since the houses destroyed by the war are cheap, they plan to go to the border towns to try their luck."

At this point, Shaoyao and the other women knelt down and begged, "Mrs. Xie, there are still more than ten days to go from Ruyang to the border town. I would like to ask you to go with your convoy. Is it convenient for you?"

They are quick hands and feet, and they are all women from poor families. They can help with chores and will not delay the trip.

I just want to be protected on the road and make it safer along the way.

Shaoyao made a plan, and Jiang Yuzhu thought it was feasible.

The strength of one person is small, but if eight or nine poor women are twisted into a rope and take care of each other, they will definitely live a good life.

Jiang Yuzhu thought for a moment and said: "You have to think carefully. Although the border town is tolerant to women, the current war is raging and the people are living a difficult life. It is not a good time for you to go there."

"Mrs. Xie, we have already discussed it. With the Mo family here and Mr. Xie here, we will definitely protect the people in the border town!"

If the border city is lost, the remaining cities in Daqi near the north may not be able to be saved.

"A common girl should have hanged herself with a rope just because she was unwilling to survive. If the border town was really occupied by barbarians, the common girl would not survive. Everything is fate!"

Shaoyao has made up her mind, and the other sisters also support this decision.

Ruyang was so sad that no one had the courage to stay here.

Jiang Yuzhu took a deep breath and said softly: "Then I'll let you live in the North. It will be much easier if you have a skill. Are you interested in learning trauma treatment and suturing with me?"

In the age of cold weapons, war inevitably leaves a knife edge.

Bone setting and suturing to stop bleeding are relatively simple.

Jiang Yuzhu is determined to cultivate a team, which may come in handy on the battlefield.

Upon hearing this, Shaoyao raised his head excitedly and said with bright eyes: "Mrs. Xie, is it really okay?"

Mrs. Xie is willing to teach them the skills that only doctors can do for free?

Thinking about it this way, it seems like a dream.

Not long ago, the women had just jumped out of the fire pit, thinking that they had no hope for the rest of their lives and were doomed to live a hard life in struggle. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xie extended an olive branch and pulled them out of the darkness.

"Yes, but let's talk about it first. My wife is very strict, so you are not allowed to cry."

Jiang Yuzhu thought carefully and realized that this would also be good for her.

Shaoyao wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of your strict requirements. We will definitely study hard and live up to your friendship in helping us in times of need!"

After staying in Ruyang for five days, Xie Zhao cleared away the party members left behind by the magistrate of Cao County, including Mr. Liu, the magistrate of Pingcheng under his umbrella.

The money obtained was confiscated, registered and handed over to the court.

In the next few months, Ruyang will be transferred from the capital to the position of parent official who makes decisions for the people.

Xie Zhao said rather mysteriously: "Madam, you also recognize this official who took office."

Jiang Yuzhu searched in her mind and asked in surprise: "Could it be the fifth brother?"

A smile appeared on Xie Zhao's lips and he said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Madam."

Jiang Yuzhu shook her head, she was really not the smartest person in Bingxue.

After staying in the capital for a long time, the officials he had contact with were limited. For example, Wei Chief Assistant, Feng Qing and others would not be transferred to Ruyang. The only possibility was Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan passed the Jinshi examination and should have been awarded an official position.

Nowadays, various forces in the capital are fighting each other. It may be a good opportunity to stay away from the place of right and wrong.

"The fifth brother has a pure mind and thinks about the people wholeheartedly. Taking over the mess left by Cao Zhixian will definitely heal the wounds left by the people of Ruyang."

Regarding this, Jiang Yuzhu is happy to see the success.

In just a few days, with Xie Zhao here, the villagers of Zhaijia Village received compensation and moved the ancestral graves on the hill according to the procedures.

The people who had been wronged also received justice.

On the day the brigade left, the people of Ruyang got the news, and tens of thousands of people came to the official road to see them off.

Everyone brought home local specialties, with deep reluctance in their eyes.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xie. I just hope that Mr. Xie can stop in Ruyang for a rest when he returns from the north."

The people who had dealt with Xie Zhao were in front, including men, women, old and young.

There were also many scholars who knelt down and worshiped devoutly.

In the past, Cao Zhixian acted recklessly while in office, and the scholars were disheartened. Even though they excelled in the scientific examinations, they could not escape the fate of being a weak official. They were very negative.

The appearance of Xie Zhao made scholars truly understand the meaning of reading.

Not only to benefit ourselves, but also to do what we can for the poor people.

"And Mrs. Xie, she is a role model for women and children like us, and is Master Xie's virtuous wife..."

Jiang Yuzhu didn't expect that she was also within the range of being praised. Everyone praised her so much that she almost couldn't find Bei.

In the past, Jiang Yuzhu was used to being scolded when he was domineering in the capital. How had Jiang Yuzhu ever been so grateful?

She was deeply touched when she saw the simple faces.

After waiting on the carriage, Jiang Yuzhu patted Xie Zhao on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Master Xie, do your best in the future. I haven't heard enough of such compliments."
