Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 312: Officials looking for trouble?

In the past two days, Shen Shaodong has been busy leading everyone to go fishing.

Everyone in the family now knew about the storage bag's existence and marveled at Xuanfeng Sanren's miraculous abilities. The small pouch held a vast universe within, its space boundless and capable of preserving the freshness of items, as if time and space within it had stood still. The only drawback was that it could only hold inanimate objects.

Everyone was completely unaware that the storage bags held by Shen Shaodong and Shen Xuan were just a way to deceive others.

As soon as the fresh seafood came ashore, some of it was quietly stored by Shen Li into her mysterious space. Outsiders had no way of noticing the secret.

When everyone arrived at the beach, they all said that they would have fun to their heart's content before returning.

Shen Li felt something strange in her heart. The horrific experience of dying in the vast ocean in her previous life was like an indelible shadow. As a result, when she looked at the surging sea, she felt timid for no reason and did not dare to get close to it easily.

Bored, she sat alone in the carriage, and suddenly remembered the "Secret Book of Business" that Su Ran had sent her in the past, so she took it out.

Shen Li opened the secret book and read it carefully. However, after a while, he felt that although every word in the book made sense, it was difficult for him to fully understand it at the moment, so he put the book aside.

At this moment, the words Mosuo had said emerged in her mind. She thought that in this new life, since she could live freely, she should accumulate more wealth for her family. However, just having wealth was far from enough. She had to hold power and status in order to provide a solid backing for her family and ensure the long-term stability of the family.

Thinking of this, Shen Li felt a little relieved. Fortunately, she was only thirteen years old and still had plenty of time to work hard and grow.

She knew very well that her father was currently only serving as a small instructor of the Imperial Guards in the palace. Although he held an official position, he did not have much power.

But how can I help Dad to go further?

Shen Li frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. She knew that this matter could not be rushed, and she needed to take a long-term view and slowly plan to find a safe and feasible path to promotion.

Shen Li's eyes flashed slightly, and the third condition that the emperor owed her suddenly emerged in her mind.

This is a hard-won opportunity, like a sword that has not yet been unsheathed but is extremely powerful. If used properly, it may open up a new path for my father's career.

She knew very well how precious this condition was and must not act rashly. She had to think carefully and plan precisely to maximize its value. Only in this way could she win a place for her family in this turbulent court situation, consolidate the family foundation, and realize her ambition of protecting her family and glorifying the family.

Shen Li was immersed in deep thought, as if she was in a quiet pond, with ripples of thoughts slowly spreading.

Suddenly, a burst of noisy noise outside rushed into my ears like a surging wave, instantly breaking the tranquility.

Shen Li frowned, quickly pulled up the carriage curtain with her bare hands, and lightly jumped off the carriage. With light lotus steps, she raised her eyes and looked into the distance. She saw a group of people in official uniforms negotiating with Zhao Lin.

Shen Li narrowed her eyes slightly and looked around at the people calmly.

Most of them came on horseback, with agile posture and majestic demeanor.

The yamen runners wore swords on their waists, but the blades were not unsheathed. Judging from this subtle detail, they did not come here intentionally to provoke trouble.

Shen Li's gaze then moved and caught a glimpse of a sedan chair behind, which was tightly surrounded and guarded by a team of black-clad guards. It was obvious from the scene that they were not of the same group as the officials in front.

However, judging by the situation, the officials' actions seemed to be directed by them. Shen Li secretly wondered if this encounter was just a coincidence, or if there was something else behind it.

She stood there calmly, watching the development of the situation quietly, ready to act according to the circumstances.
