Chapter 697: County Head (3)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

They really didn’t expect that their young master and nephew hadn’t even passed the imperial examination yet, but their young miss had become the county head.

Under normal circumstances, only the daughter of a viscountess could be a county head.

Even the county magistrate came to pay his respects after learning about the situation. The Liu family had really soared.

Lin Xiaoyue’s gaze swept across the faces of the servants one by one and found a few unfamiliar faces. She knew that these were the newly hired servants and did not ask much.

“Get up.” She said.

“Today, the Liu family is overjoyed and everyone will be rewarded. Later, everyone can go to the accountant’s office to collect two months’ worth of money.”

“Thank you, county head!” The servants were excited and thanked Lin Xiaoyue again.

After that, Zhao Fu signaled for them to leave.

After everyone left, Liu Shi turned around and looked at Lin Xiaoyue, who had been firmly held in her hand.

Looking at her daughter in front of her, Liu Shi actually wanted to say a lot of things, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn’t say anything.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. “What’s wrong, Mother?”

Then, she went forward and hugged Liu Shi.

Liu Shi’s eyes moistened, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

“It’s okay. Oh, it’s okay, mother. I’m back.” Lin Xiaoyue felt that something was wrong and quickly comforted her.

With this consolation, Liu Shi could not stop her tears.

Her actions made Zhou Shi and Li Wan’s eyes turn red.

“Alright. Mother, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by the servants?” Lin Xiaoyue continued to speak gently.

“Let’s not just stand here. If you have anything to say, let’s go to the backyard and talk.”

“Yes.” Liu Shi finally responded, her voice still carrying a sobbing tone.

Then, Lin Xiaoyue and Zhou Shi helped her to the backyard.

When they reached the backyard, Zhou Shi and Li Wan did not follow them for long. After sending Liu Shi back to her room, they came out.

She left the room for Lin Xiaoyue and Liu Shi.

Inside the room, Liu Shi sat on the bed, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

“You came back.” She complained to her daughter.

Lin Xiaoyue was amused.

“The Liu residence is my home. Why won’t I be back? Didn’t I rush home as soon as I finished my work? Mother, what are you saying?” She said in a teasing tone.

Liu Shi was instantly amused.

However, it was only for a moment before her face turned stern again.

“You came back, but Li Xiao didn’t. You two keep hiding things from me.”

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing!” Liu Shi wiped her tears again.

“You knew?” She asked with a smile.

Seeing that her daughter was still teasing her, Liu Shi finally lost her temper.

“How would 1 know what you’re hiding from me?!” She said angrily. However, when she saw Lin Xiaoyue’s smiling face, the anger in her words was greatly reduced.

Liu Shi couldn’t stand her daughter’s “smug” look. She added, “although 1 don’t know everything, 1 can guess a little.”

“Li Xiao and Li Wan are not ordinary people. The people working in the manor are all unusual.”

“Also, it’s not just a simple matter for you and Li Xiao to enter the capital! Tell me, what did you do this time? Also, where is Li Xiao now? Where did he go?” Liu Shi asked.

Lin Xiaoyue’s heart was pounding when she heard the series of questions.

But even so, she still had a smile on her face, as if Liu Shi was thinking too much.

Seeing this, Liu Shi became angrier.

“Don’t be so cheeky. Tell me the truth!” He said.

Her daughter and son-in-law were always mysterious. She did not understand the situation and could only worry secretly.

She just wanted to know the truth so that she knew what was going on. She was worried.

Seeing that her mother was really angry, Lin Xiaoyue did not dare to smile anymore.

“Mother–” She called out to Liu Shi coquettishly and sat down beside her.

“Humph!” Liu Shi snorted and turned her body.

Lin Xiaoyue had a bad feeling. Oh no, she was really angry.

Glancing at her, Lin Xiaoyue finally sighed.

“Did you receive the lost jade pendant?” Then, she asked.

Liu Shi’s body stiffened.

Then, she thought that Li Xiao must have told her about the jade pendant.

“Yes.” She replied. She felt a little guilty as she spoke.

After all, there was a huge secret hidden behind that jade pendant.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at her guilty mother and felt a little happy again.

Her mother’s thoughts were written all over her face, and she couldn’t hide them.

“I was the one who found that jade pendant.”

As soon as she said this, Liu Shi immediately looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

“After entering the capital, I was arranged to stay in the Imperial Advisor’s residence.”

Liu Shi’s face instantly turned pale, and her face was filled with fear.

“The jade pendant was in the hands of the Imperial Advisor at that time,” Lin Xiaoyue continued after glancing at her.

“He heard that the original owner of the jade pendant was you, so he gave it back..”
