After making sure that she couldn't find Liu Wenzhong, whom she knew, Song Miaomiao walked back in despair.

She found the steward and pleaded:

"Brother Steward, can you let me see your registration book?"

"What are you looking at this for?" The manager frowned, a little impatient.

"Please, I just want to take a look, just one look!" Song Miaomiao clasped her hands together and begged.

Perhaps it was because she still had the aura of a heroine. The manager couldn't help but soften his heart for a moment when he saw her pitiful appearance:

"Okay, I'll show you one. You can watch it right here."

As he said this, he handed over the booklet.

Song Miaomiao quickly turned to the day they were sent here and found Liu Wenzhong's registration information, but saw that it said:

Liu Wenzhong, male, eight feet tall, slightly fat, with a long beard, was convicted of instructing his men to set fire to the street and was sentenced to six months of hard labor in Xishan.

Song Miaomiao closed the registration book, returned it to the manager, thanked him again, and turned and left.

She is not stupid, and now she understands the whole story.

From the very beginning, Liu Wenzhong had no intention of coming here to do labor.

He was the son of the Liu family, his family was rich and he lived a life of luxury, how could he possibly do such a hard job? And it just so happened that the Liu family had the ability to do it for him.

When he was in the county government, the county magistrate was impartial and difficult to deal with.

But in Xishan, there was a mix of all kinds of people, and it was not difficult to spend some money to find a substitute for Liu Wenzhong to do the labor.

The county magistrate was far away and could not supervise at all times.

As long as no one tells the truth, this matter will not be exposed.

Therefore, Liu Wenzhong wrote the appearance information of the substitute in the registration book, and as soon as these prisoners were dispersed and sent to different areas, Liu Wenzhong would be able to escape.

But Song Miaomiao was completely unaware of all this.

Just when she was thinking about how to cooperate with Liu Wenzhong and get out of here, the other party had already left here and returned to his life as a wealthy young master.

In short, she was abandoned.

At this moment, Song Miaomiao felt a strong hatred in her heart:

She hated Shi Lidie. If it weren't for this woman, she wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.

She hated Liu Wenzhong, who kept saying that he treated her as a friend and would protect and take care of her, but when the time came, he still ran away.

At this moment, Song Miaomiao's eyes were filled with sinister intent.

She was also sentenced to six months of hard labor, but she couldn't hold on for that long, and she had to find a way to get out of here early.

When the time comes, Shi Lidie must pay the price!

Thinking of this, Song Miaomiao hid the hatred in her eyes and looked innocent again.

She needs to perform well and lower the manager's vigilance before she can find opportunities.

***

At the same time, Liu Wenzhong was lying on the bed, asking his personal servant to apply medicine.

Master Liu stood by the bed and asked in a cold voice:

"Do you know you're wrong?"

"I understand." Liu Wenzhong nodded.

"Where did you go wrong?"

"My mistake was to underestimate the opponent and fail to kill her in one go, which left endless troubles." Liu Wenzhong gritted his teeth when he mentioned this incident.

Master Liu angrily scolded with a tone of regret:

"Big mistake!"

"There are always people better than you in this world. It doesn't matter if you fail. You can just wait for another chance!"

"You are wrong. You did all this just for a woman!"

"For a woman who is of no help to you and has no name or status!"

"You offended people because of her, set fire to the streets because of her, and caused the Liu family to suffer heavy losses because of her! After paying such a huge price, you actually don't repent, and you even want me to get her out of that damn place in Xishan!"

"Tell me yourself, do you think you deserved this beating?"

Liu Wenzhong lowered his head and said:

"It's not unfair. My father was right to beat me."

Upon hearing this, Master Liu snorted coldly and said:

"Okay, you're my son. For you, I'm willing to give away all my wealth. But Song Miaomiao has nothing to do with our Liu family. Why should I save her?"

"Besides, if she hadn't been there to instigate you, you wouldn't have been in this situation."

"During this period of time, you should rest well at home and don't go out. If someone sees you not doing labor in Xishan, you will probably get into trouble again."

Liu Wenzhong didn't say anything else, just nodded, and it was unclear whether he had heard it or not.

Mr. Liu sighed, turned and left.

***

For Shi Lidie, these days were extremely happy.

Song Miaomiao was doing labor in Xishan, and Liu Wenzhong was recuperating at home. No one was barking at her like a mad dog, which made her very happy every day.

Time passes day by day.

The wine that was not burned is almost done brewing; the newly brewed wine is also being completed step by step.

She spends a lot of time reading.

The books she was reading were those she had exchanged from the system mall, which were about dyeing, weaving, and clothing design. This was the task that Aya had given her.

After she finished reading all the books, Aya gave her a test.

As long as her accuracy rate can reach above 30%, she will be considered to have successfully completed this elegant mission.

Before traveling through time, Shi Lidie was a college student.

Other advantages of college students may not be obvious, but they are very good at "cramming". They can skip classes for a whole semester and start reading books a week before the final exam and still get a passing score.

Therefore, this elegant mission is of course no problem.

[Task completed, reward: 1 ounce of gold, reading comprehension ability increased by 5%]

Shi Lidie happily accepted the gold and was in a good mood.

Time passes day by day.

Just when Shi Lidie was lamenting that Song Miaomiao was not around and no one was giving her points, Mr. Chen's niece Chen Shuting arrived.

The housekeeper, Uncle Wu, had gone on a long trip and personally brought her over.

When Chen Shuting arrived, there was a big scene——

There were three carriages in total.

The first carriage was occupied by the personal nanny who had served Chen Shuting since she was a child, and two small maids who did odd jobs; the largest carriage in the middle was occupied by Chen Shuting herself and her personal maid.

The last car was filled with Chen Shuting’s luggage.

In addition, there were three coachmen, six servants leading the way in front, and twenty guards protecting behind. All together, there were more than thirty people.

This is the kind of pomp and ceremony that only rich and powerful people would display when they go out.

The people of Luoyun Town heard the news and ran to the city gate to watch the excitement. After all, for this small place, it was rare to see ladies from wealthy families go out:

"This is Master Chen's niece. She is so precious to be with so many people!"

"What do you know? She is a young lady from the capital. In the capital, young ladies always go out like this. It's so impressive!"

"So what is she doing in this little place of ours?"

"I heard from the servant of the Chen Mansion that Miss Chen is here to give Master Chen a birthday gift. It is said that Master Chen's birthday is next month and he cannot go back, so the Chen family in the capital sent a younger generation to give him a gift."

"I see..."

The people were talking about the Chen Mansion and Chen Shuting. The news was mixed, true and false, and there was no definite news.

Shi Lidie stood in the crowd and watched the carriage pass by.

The wind blew up the curtain on the wall of the carriage, giving me a glimpse of Miss Chen's fair and smooth profile in the carriage.
