Madam Yang still had a worried look on her face. "Miss, even though that's true, I'm still worried."

Su Yue put down the spoon, her tone somewhat helpless, "Mammy, don't panic. Even if they come to interrogate me, they will see that my foot is so injured that I must be alone. How can they suspect us?"

As they were speaking, a maid came to report that the officials were coming to interrogate the people in Qingyou Garden.

"Rendong, take away the breakfast." Su Yue stood up calmly and walked to the bed and lay down.

Honeysuckle quickly cleaned up the dishes, while Nanny Yang went out of the house to greet the officials.

Not long after, Nanny Yang and Rendong came in. Su Yue was very surprised, as she had thought that the officials would also come in to investigate.

Without Su Yue asking, Nanny Yang explained it herself.

"Miss, the group of officials just asked a few questions casually, mainly the eldest master and the palace doctor testified for the lady that her foot was indeed sprained.

Besides, there were only two or three maids in Qingyou Garden, and since Rendong and I gave the same testimony, they didn’t suspect much. ”

Su Yue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Su Zelin, such a decent guy, would actually speak up to testify for her.

In the book, when he learned that the original owner was abused by Zhou Zhuo, he did not scold Zhou Zhuo but instead scolded the original owner for being shameless, because he was going to take the imperial examination and felt that having a sister who had lost her innocence at home would implicate him.

Su Yue touched his chin and thought, he must have testified for her because he didn't want the Su family to be the murderer and taint his reputation.

"Just don't doubt us. Let's put this matter aside for now and let the Su family and the Zhou family fight each other first. Ren Dong, do you have any brothers or sisters at home?"

The reason why Su Yue asked this was because the book did not say much about whether Rendong had any brothers or sisters.

Now, as a daughter of a wealthy family, she couldn't go out often. In addition, she had a foot injury, which made it even more difficult for her to go out.

According to the book, the weather will get hotter and hotter, and the maximum temperature may reach nearly sixty degrees in a month.

In order to make the natural disasters in the book more severe, the author wrote that in this fictional world, long-term high temperatures this year caused droughts in various countries.

Anyway, according to the plot, the original owner died at the end of this year. There was not even winter at that time, and there was not even a rain.

As for the plot after next year, Su Yue is not clear because the book she is reading has not been completed and is still being serialized.

But Su Yue was not in a hurry. She estimated that the drought would not last too long, because the book said that the drought would be followed by long-term heavy rain.

Although Ren Dong was curious about why Su Yue asked this, she still reported truthfully, "I have many brothers and sisters in my family, two older brothers, a younger brother and a younger sister.

Su Yue was delighted. It was a good thing to have many brothers and sisters. She was worried about not having enough manpower. If all of them were smart and capable, they would help her solve a lot of problems.

"Honeysuckle, what are your two brothers doing now? Tell me the truth, what are the personalities of your brothers and sisters?"

When Su Yue asked this, Rendong was a little scared. She didn't understand what Su Yue was going to do, and she hesitated for a moment.

Nanny Yang understood Su Yue's thoughts. She smiled and explained, "Girl, just say what the young lady asks you to say. The young lady is here to help your family. Why don't you thank the young lady!"

Rendong was touched but also more embarrassed. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Su Yue before speaking.

"Miss, I am grateful for your support and life-saving grace. My father needs a lot of money every month to buy medicine.

My mother had no choice but to sell me to the Su family. But my brothers and sisters and my parents would not agree to them selling themselves into slavery. "

Su Yue looked at Rendong with sympathy. This was the sadness of being the middle child.

The eldest child can help the family and cannot be moved, and the youngest child cannot be let go. The middle child, who is neither too old nor too young, is often the most likely to be ignored by his parents, so even though they are reluctant, they have the heart to sell him.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t ask your brothers and sisters to sell themselves to the Su family again. I just want to employ them. I don’t need them to come to the mansion. They just need to help me get things done outside the mansion.

And if your family agrees, I will give them two taels of salary every month. Of course, there will be more rewards if the work is done well. "

After hearing Su Yue's words, hope and surprise suddenly lit up in Rendong's eyes. This was a huge happy event for their family.

With tears in her eyes, Ren Dong kowtowed again to express her gratitude: "Miss, you are so kind and virtuous. I have no way to repay you..."

"Definitely!"

Su Yue felt uncomfortable seeing Rendong kowtow to her, so she waved her hand to interrupt Rendong's next words.

"Don't kowtow to me all the time. Stand up and speak first. You haven't answered me yet. What are the personalities of your brothers and sisters? Of course, I hope you will tell me the truth, because what I have entrusted to you is very important and cannot be sloppy at all."

After listening to what happened, Nanny Yang had a rough guess in her mind: maybe the girl wanted to buy her own property outside.

Well, think about it, it should be bought. Although the girl has a rich dowry left by her biological mother, she is tightly controlled by her stepmother.

Over the years, she has been eating, dressing and living like a concubine's daughter. If she doesn't secretly accumulate some property, she won't even have the money to buy an exquisite headpiece when the time comes.

Honeysuckle stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said after calming down, "Girl, my elder brother is a loyal and honest man who works hard. He is now at home tending to two acres of thin land.

My second brother is smart and quick-witted. He now works as a waiter in the Fu Lai Restaurant.

My younger brother is also sensible and well-behaved, and now he is an apprentice in a blacksmith shop. My younger sister is clever and careful, and she is also good at housework.

Also, before my father got sick, he had been building houses for others. The houses built by my father and his uncles were strong and solid. Within a radius of ten miles from the village, anyone who wanted to build a house would come to my house.

I am good at showmanship, and most of the family's money is earned from my showmanship.

Young lady, my family are all kind and grateful people. If I can be used by you, I will definitely not let you down."

Su Yue nodded slightly. It seemed that the Rendong family were all hardworking and capable people.

Although this is a setback, as long as there is no natural disaster and they can get through this hurdle, their family will surely get better and better.

Su Yue thought for a moment and then said, "Have your two brothers married? How old are your younger brothers and sisters?"

Su Yue wanted to check the household registration, because if both of Rendong's brothers were married, she also wanted to find out the character of Rendong's two sisters-in-law.

Ren Dong shook her head with some sadness, "She hasn't married yet. My elder brother was originally engaged. But my father got seriously ill and spent all our family savings. When the girl found out, she broke off the engagement."

Su Yue could hear the pain in Ren Dong's words and comforted her, "Why would someone who can only share the good times but not the bad times come here? In my opinion, this is actually a good thing."

Nanny Yang also nodded and agreed, "The young lady is right."

Ren Dong looked at Su Yue and Nanny Yang gratefully, and then said, "Miss, my brother is thirteen years old this year, and my sister is ten years old."
