Chapter 238 Helping the Yu family out of the siege

The middle-aged man was stunned. How could this embroiderer in the embroidery workshop be related to the governor's office?
"Ms. Yu, who is this?"

"This is our boss's niece."

Mrs. Yu rubbed her hands nervously and looked at Shen Rudao: "Can I go see Chong Guang now?"

Shen Ru nodded and said, "Yes, it's been a long time since I last saw you. I see you are excited."

"Oh, this is a guest, right? Are you looking for Aunt Yu to do embroidery?"

The middle-aged man didn't know Shen Ru, but he didn't dare to be offended when he heard Shen Ru speak like a governor.

"My surname is Wang. My family owns three cloth shops. I have a deep admiration for Mrs. Yu. Girl..."

"Aunt Yu, are you willing?"

Shen Ru ignored the man's words and asked Yu directly.

Mrs. Yu shook her head and said to the man: "Mr. Wang, a commoner woman will never remarry in this life, so you should stop spending time on a commoner woman."

"Madam Yu, you have never seen my cloth shop, my house..."

"Mr. Wang, Aunt Yu has already refused. As a well-educated man, he should give up!"

Shen Ru said bluntly: "Do you know who Aunt Yu's deceased husband is? Do you know who Aunt Yu's natal family is? She said she was unwilling, did you hear it?"

No one would put his identity as a prisoner on his face, and naturally Mr. Wang didn't know it either.

"If you force Aunt Yu, it would be a bit unkind."

Shen Ru said directly: "Don't blame me for being rude."

Why is this man so ignorant?

"You little girl, why are you causing trouble? Mrs. Yu is shy and refuses to agree, but as long as I hold you tight, and my family fortune is enough to make Mrs. Yu well-fed and clothed, she doesn't have to work in this embroidery workshop; Mrs. Yu, The past is in the past, you are still young, are you going to be a widow for the rest of your life?"

The man obviously still refused to give up. Yu was beautiful and dignified, with a fair and moist appearance that was rare among Liangzhou women, and she also had the unique charm of a young woman. How could he not like her?
Really... Shen Ru patiently said all this, but it didn't dissuade the man at all!

"Second Aunt, I'll take Aunt Yu out."

Shen Ru didn't want to cause trouble in the embroidery workshop, so she pulled Yu out.

Qian agreed. The cloth for the embroidery workshop was bought from Mr. Wang's cloth shop. After going back and forth, he fell in love with Yu.

Mrs. Yu was from Prince Jing's Mansion. Mrs. Qian couldn't watch Mrs. Yu being bullied, and she couldn't offend Mr. Wang, so she had no choice but to ask Mother Shen for help.

"Just in time, Madam Yu, would you like to go and take a look at my cloth shop?"

Mr. Wang followed immediately.

"Stop!" After leaving the embroidery workshop, Shen Ru raised her fist at Mr. Wang.

"I don't like it, I don't want it, don't you understand? Aunt Yu doesn't want to have anything to do with you. You've lived half your life, can't you see this clearly?"

"Ms. Yu?"

Mr. Wang ignored Shen Ru and looked at Mrs. Yu and asked.

"Mr. Wang, I have no intention of getting married, so please don't bother me anymore."

Mrs. Yu also reiterated: "If you keep pestering me, I will have no choice but to quit my job in the embroidery workshop and never see you again."

"You..." Mr. Wang was a little surprised, "Why are you so ignorant?"

"Let's go!" Shen Ru pulled Yu's sleeve, "That's it for now. If we continue to get entangled, we'll take action."

"Miss Shen, thank you. It's just this embroidery workshop. I'm afraid I may not be able to do anything in the future."

Mrs. Yu sighed: "I have caused trouble to you."

"Nothing, just a little effort. If it's not convenient for you to do things here in the embroidery workshop, you tell me and I can arrange for you to go elsewhere."

Shen Ru said casually and took Yu to the Governor's Mansion. "Is it really possible?"

Mrs. Yu was also looking at Shen Ru. Shen Ru was not wearing expensive clothes, but they were clean and tidy, which showed that the Shen family was living a good life.

"Well, Aunt Yu, what do you think you would do if you were given a choice?"

"This...I really don't know."

Mrs. Yu thought about it, she learned embroidery since she was a child, so it was no problem.

"Will it be settled?"

Shen Ru asked again: "Can you ride a horse?"

Mrs. Yu nodded. Before she left the palace, she was raised according to the requirements of the wife of the head of the family.

"I can read accounts, and I can also ride a horse. In the old palace..."

Mrs. Yu spoke, but stopped, "Forget it, the past is like the wind, Miss Shen, what are you asking me for?"

"Look, if you can't do the work in the embroidery workshop, I will arrange for you to go to the ranch. Cuixi will still handle the accounts there. If you are qualified, I will leave it to you."

Shen Ru said: "The ranch provides food and accommodation. If you are not used to living outside, you can just ride home every day."

Mrs. Yu looked at Shen Ru in surprise, does the Shen family have a ranch in Liangzhou?

"Miss Shen, I would like to ask, are you really going to the Governor's Mansion?"

"Yes, can I still sell you?"

Shen Ru couldn't help but smile.

"But can I enter the Governor's Mansion at will?"

"You are Pei Chongguang's mother, you can see nature if you want."

Shen Ru said: "Perhaps you can also let Pei Chongguang rest at the beginning of the month and go home in the middle of the month. I heard that the court no longer pursues the men of the Pei family!"

"This...can win Master Xiao's favor, how can we let Chongguang indulge in pleasure?"

Mrs. Yu was stunned for a moment and then said: "In Liangzhou, when talking about Master Xiao, the governor, the people all praise him."

"It is said that Mr. Xiao asked all the prisoners to dig the river this year. When the river is connected, water from the snowy mountains can be diverted to irrigate the farmland, and there will be no drought in Liangzhou. Moreover, all the tools for digging the river, except for donations from the people, are The government paid for the purchase, which gave the blacksmiths a job."

To praise Xiao Wujin is to praise her!

Shen Ru felt happy, this was the person she liked.

"Liangzhou will get better, and everyone's life will also get better."

Shen Ru said longingly, "Aunt Yu, after arriving in Liangzhou, everyone is actually not that miserable, right?"

"Well, it's indeed much better than we thought. Miss Shen, my mother and second sister-in-law both know that it was actually your Shen family who helped us."

"Well, it's just a little effort!" Shen Ru said very normally, without much intention of taking credit.

When they arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Shen Ru said hello to the guard and they let him go. Mrs. Yu was a little surprised to see that Shen was so familiar with the people in the Governor's Mansion!
"Miss Shen is here."

"Miss Shen."

After entering the Governor's Mansion, everyone who saw Shen Ru greeted her.

"Miss Shen, are you here to see my lord?"

"Is he busy? This is Pei Chongguang's mother. She hasn't seen her son for a long time, so she came here to have a look."

Mrs. Yu's eyes looked at Shen Ru with some consideration. Shen Ru was really just like herself in the Governor's Mansion!

"Sister, Chongguang is reading a book. You wait a moment, and I will invite him over. Miss Shen, please wait a moment too. Your Excellency is busy in the backyard. I will inform Guard Lu."
