Hejian County's governor was not stupid. Since there were so many people around, he had to solve the problem. That way, the noblewomen's chastity could be preserved.
Even though he thought Jiang Pengji was bragging, she might really be able to do it.
Oh, next was Jiang Pengji's time to act cool … No, to give another speech to explain the time. Everyone was stunned.
When he saw that the noble ladies of the various families were unscathed, he had no choice but to believe it even more.
At that moment, the governor finally calmed down. He looked at Jiang Pengji in a new light.
The young man in front of him was the benefactor who had saved his official position and his life. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the families of the noble ladies, even if he had a high social status and background. He wouldn't have been able to struggle at all if he had been targeted by the families of the noble ladies.
How could such a serious thing happen while he was in office? He did not want to live!
Seeing that all the noblewomen were being carried down the mountain by the servants except for Jiang Pengji, the governor's eyes flashed.
"Nephew Liu, why don't you follow me down the mountain? The road is rugged, and it's easy to get lost without a guide …"
The governor of Hejian County was also a clever person. Without Jiang Pengji's knowledge, he directly called her "nephew" as a sign of intimacy.
She thought for a while and nodded … Even though she did not know when Hejian County's governor had become her uncle.
Feng Jin and the others had secretly followed the servants, so they should not get lost. She only had to worry about herself.
She did not know what Liu Lanting's family was thinking. They had lost their son, but they did not send any servants or stewards to look for him.
She sat in the sedan and was carried down the mountain by the bearers. When they reached the flat mountain road, they changed carriages.
In the carriage, Jiang Pengji was bored. She asked the System to turn on the livestream. It was good to chat with the audience.
However, her channel was a newbie livestream. Yesterday's viewers were lucky to be able to watch it, but today's luck was bad.
Even though it was the exclusive carriage of the governor of Hejian County, there was an obvious jolt. But this time, the coachman was much better than the bandits. He drove steadily. Even though there was a jolt, he didn't feel sick after sitting for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Pengji sitting at the side in silence, he could not help but think of how she looked when she was standing alone.
"Nephew Liu, are you wondering why no one in the family went out to look for you?"
The governor of Hejian County was not as observant as Jiang Pengji, but he had been in the officialdom for many years. He was an old fox when it came to the ways of the world.
Jiang Pengji snapped out of her reverie and subconsciously scanned through Liu Lanting's memories of her family. Her brows furrowed.
"Perhaps it's because Father is about to return and the household is too busy, so he can't spare any manpower for now …"
Jiang Pengji answered as such, but in her heart, she was extremely disgusted.
Relying on the fact that the emperor was far away, that woman really dared to do such a thing.
Liu Lanting's mother was born into a prominent family in Langya County. She and Liu Lanting's father had been in love for many years, and the couple had always been a harmonious couple. In the second year of their marriage, they gave birth to a son, who died in less than two years. In the fourth year, they gave birth to Liu Lanting, a pair of twins, which was considered an auspicious sign.
Having learned their lesson from their eldest son, they took good care of their second son and eldest daughter. However, due to the servants' carelessness, the four-year-old son accidentally fell into the water and died.
No one knew what happened after that, but it was announced to the public that it was the younger sister who died, not the second son.
But from then on, Liu Lanting's mother's health deteriorated and she passed away within half a year.
In order to maintain the good relationship between the two families and to take care of Liu Lanting, Liu Lanting's father was persuaded to marry Liu Lanting's mother's sister.
In fact, Jiang Pengji did not understand the logic behind it at all.
Marrying his wife's sister after his wife's death and having sex with his sister-in-law … She really did not understand the way men thought in this world.
Could it be that they could not beat dumplings, could not beat their sisters-in-law, and could not beat their sisters-in-law in bed?
Of course, it was not that the stepmother did not treat Jiang Pengji well.
As a bystander, Jiang Pengji could see that the stepmother treated her "stepson" as if he was her own child and cared for him every day.
She took care of Jiang Pengji's studies but did not push her too hard. Occasionally, she would cook some nourishing soup and send it to Jiang Pengji. Her daily task was to remind the maids and servants to take care of Jiang Pengji whenever the weather changed so that Jiang Pengji would not fall sick.
Based on the parenting methods of this era, this was the standard for a biological mother.
The crux of the problem was another concubine in the house.
Although she was a concubine, everyone called her Madam Hu when they were behind closed doors.
Oh, by the way, Madam Hu was Father Liu's cousin. She had a good family background and could have been the legal wife of Father Liu, but she ignored the ridicule of others and insisted on being Father Liu's concubine.
The stepmother had always been weak. Since the end of last year, she had been bedridden and had not recovered. The time she was awake every day was pitiful.
The person in charge of the house was the domineering Madam Hu … Was it reasonable that no one came to look for her?
Jiang Pengji put her hand on her forehead. She felt that she might still see her coffin when she returned home.
Based on Liu Lanting's memories of Madam Hu, it was possible that she would do such a thing.
The shrewd Hejian County Governor looked at Jiang Pengji's expression and knew that she was in trouble.
"I invited a few old friends to my house for tea today, but after the incident yesterday, I asked the housekeeper to reject the invitation. I didn't expect the matter to be resolved so quickly. Now I'm free and have nothing to do … My dear nephew, are you willing to let me send you back? You can use it as a way to kill time. "The plump governor smiled amiably. He seemed to be very close to Jiang Pengji.
"Thank you, Governor." Jiang Pengji cupped her hands in thanks. Having the governor send her home would save her a lot of trouble.
At that moment, the System, which had been silent for a while, trembled with excitement.
"Host, this will be the first battle in your life. A good start can double the results with half the effort. "
Although Jiang Pengji hated infighting in the harem, she could settle for the next best thing.
Fighting in the harem did not necessarily involve the wife fighting the concubine, or the concubine teasing the wife. It could also involve the legitimate son/daughter/illegitimate son/daughter/mother/sibling. If there were some conflicts, it could escalate to fighting one's grandmother. If one was unlucky, they might even have to fight their relatives.
The host could not just kill someone with a single slap, could she?
"Boring," Jiang Pengji replied.
The System was furious, but it kept telling itself to calm down and take deep breaths. "Then what do you think is interesting?"
"My stepmother and Madam Hu …" Jiang Pengji paused and then said, "They are both pretty."
The System was speechless.
It suddenly understood.
Father Liu, your fake son is trying to flirt with your second wife and concubine!
