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

Listening to Erya's slow story, Shenyang and Shen Ping were terrified. If Zhang Jiao hadn't recognized Erya and weighed the pros and cons, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Jiao Niang, thank you so much!" Shen Ping nodded to Zhang Jiao and took out a 50-liang silver note from her sleeve and handed it to her: "Jiao Niang, you have to accept this note no matter what!"

"It's just a misunderstanding. It's my honor to be able to help Yu Anren." Jiao Niang stretched out her hand to push away the banknote.

She noticed from the corner of her eye that it was a 50-tael silver note and was secretly shocked. She never thought that Madam Shen had come to her Yihongyuan last year to sell her natural beauty cream.

This year, the emperor personally conferred the title of Yu Anren, and he was so generous. It is really unpredictable!

It's a rare opportunity to get to know her, and Zhang Jiao doesn't want to miss it.

"Favors are favors, but the amount must be clearly distinguished. This is what you deserve, so just take it!" Shen Ping stuffed the banknote into Zhang Jiao's hand without saying a word.

She knew that it was extremely difficult for Zhang Jiao to achieve this. If it wasn't for her face, she would not be so easy to talk to.

I don't want to owe anyone a favor, and these 50 taels of silver can buy me peace of mind.

"Haha~"

Zhang Jiao laughed and said, "Since Yu'an said so, I'll respectfully obey your command." Then she put the banknote into her pocket.

Zhang Jiao smiled mysteriously: "By the way, Yu'an, I won't take your 50 taels of silver for nothing, I'll give you a person!" Then, Zhang Jiao ordered his subordinate Liu Neng to bring him up.

When she saw Liu Neng, Shen Ping immediately felt that the 50 taels of silver were well worth it.

When the enemies met, their eyes were filled with jealousy. Shenyang punched Liu Neng so hard that his mouth was full of blood and two front teeth fell out. He knelt down and begged for mercy in so much pain. If Erya hadn't held Shenyang back, Shenyang would have beaten him to death.

After coming out of Yihong Courtyard, Shen Ping and his group went straight to the county government office. County Magistrate Zhang had just arrived at the county government office and was preparing to send someone out to look for Erya.

When he saw Shen Ping and Erya coming, he was surprised. Then he saw Shen Yang escorting Liu Neng in, he was full of admiration. They were so quick and found the person so quickly.

Liu Neng was dejected. He thought he could take revenge, but he ended up sending himself to prison again.

In court, Liu Neng recounted the entire incident in detail, making the whole thing clear and understandable. Everyone then realized that Liu Xing and Liu Neng were actually working together and were in cahoots with each other.

Now that the truth of the matter was known, Liu Neng and Liu Xing were taken to jail and retrialed later.

Lord Xu sent someone to send Shen Ping and his group back to Kaoshan Village.

After this scare, three days later, Shen Ping let Erya and her husband move back home early.

A few days later, Liu Neng's case was reopened. The truth was clear and the parties confessed. However, Erya was kind-hearted and knew that both of them acted so cruelly because they hated her.

He also wanted to give the two of them another chance and specifically pleaded with them. County Magistrate Zhang knew that the prince would not want to resolve the matter so easily. He did not want to offend the prince, nor did he want to go against the wishes of the lady.

With the lessons learned from the previous time, Shen Yang knew that there were many loopholes in exiling to the frontier. In order to complete their tasks as soon as possible, many prisoners would die on the road.

Most of these prisoners were ordinary people, and the court would not pursue them.

In order not to disappoint Erya, under Shenyang's intentional or unintentional suggestion, County Magistrate Zhang turned a blind eye and Liu Neng and the other man were each given 30 lashes of the board and sentenced to exile to the frontier again.

But Shenyang will not let them go so easily. These two people want to harm his woman, and they must not be allowed to live.

Before leaving the prefectural government, Guard Zhan gave 200 silver notes to each of the accompanying yamen runners and asked them to kill the two men on the way and not let them reach their destination alive.

The accompanying yamen runners were of course happy, because before they set out, County Magistrate Zhang had told them that if anything happened on the road, they should just protect themselves, and as for the other two people, they should just leave it to fate.

Of course, the two yamen runners knew what crime these two people had committed. They had offended the prince and dared to murder the princess. Not executing them by slow slicing was already a mercy.

In addition, fearing that the two of them would take the money and not do the job, Guard Zhan secretly sent someone to follow them until the two of them succeeded and confirmed that Liu Neng and Liu Xing had no signs of life. Only then did this person go back to report.

When Arya knew that the two men were not sentenced to death but only exiled, she felt less guilty. No matter what, in her opinion, these two men became what they were today because of her.

So she didn't want to hurt innocent people. Little did she know that these two people had already been wiped out halfway in exile.

Time flies and it is November. It is freezing cold. Even if Shenyang is reluctant to be separated from Erya, he has to put the matter of returning to Beijing on the agenda.

After all, it will take some time to return to Beijing, and by then, these grain seeds must be distributed to various places before the spring plowing.

Prefect Xu contacted the merchant ship at the provincial capital wharf, and the merchant ship arrived at the Heyang wharf waiting for loading. Magistrate Zhang asked Lao Li to find a transport team in advance.

Nearly two-thirds of the transport teams in Heyang County were gathered together and sent to Kaoshan Village to deliver grain.

Just for the Spring Festival transportation from Kaoshan, it took a full half month to transport hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain.

……

Shen Ping had been busy before and had forgotten about the cotton. Now that it was suddenly cold, she remembered that the cotton had not yet been made into a quilt.

Although the silk quilt she bought in the mall was light and warm, Shen Ping was a modern person and she liked silk quilts.

But compared with traditional cotton, traditional cotton is heavy, and Dachun and his friends always say that the silk quilt is light and not warm enough to cover themselves with.

Shen Ping went to the mall and bought cotton thread and cotton beating tools, and installed them by herself. Although she had never beaten cotton before, she had seen it done in videos.

Relying on her memory, she weighed the required cotton, planning to make eight kilograms for each bed. She removed impurities from the cotton and spread it evenly on the table according to the desired size.

He tied one end of the cotton bowstring to his waist, held the cotton bow in his left hand with the bowstring pressing on the cotton, and held the cotton hammer in his right hand, hitting it rhythmically.

The struck bowstring will make the cotton fluffy. After the entire bed of cotton is fluffed up, it must be pressed tightly and the cotton thread must be pulled.

Pull four layers of cotton thread evenly, horizontally, vertically and diagonally, wrap the cotton tightly, and finally put it on the grinding wheel to press the whole quilt tightly, tighten the cotton thread and finally finish it. In this way, a quilt is made.

Although it sounds simple, only Shen Ping herself knows the difficulty. She knows nothing and can only explore step by step.

It took her three days just to fluff the cotton for the first quilt. She also had to pull the cotton thread and tighten the quilt, which took her five days to make a complete quilt.
