”I'm really sorry, but I really don't dare to be so one-sided.” Liu Yu An didn't hesitate at all and sincerely apologized.

”Does Milord still think that I'm really selling perverted food like they said?”

This time, Liu Yuan didn't hesitate. He immediately waved his hand and said, ”That's not the case. I hope that Madam Su can forgive me for the difficulties.”

Su Zhi said with a gentle smile, ”Your words are too serious. This humble woman doesn't dare to accept them.”

Compared to the aggressive villagers, Liu Yuan's attitude was much better. Moreover, she was His Majesty's personal disaster relief supervisor, and was not an ordinary government official. Even if Su Zhi didn't have the concept of hierarchy, she wouldn't dare to receive such a big gift.

The afternoon sky darkened, and a large cloud of lead enveloped the land. The sultry air pressure was extremely low, and the cicadas' chirping noise was unsettling.

Liu Yuan looked at the sky and said to himself, ”It's going to rain again.”

After the drought had lasted for such a long time, the rain from yesterday had finally ended this natural disaster. After this disaster was stabilized, he still had to return to the capital as soon as possible and could not stay here for too long.

After withdrawing his gaze, his gaze shifted to the girl at the side. He was still unyielding and unyielding, just like an unpainted white pill. He naturally had his share of grace and elegance.

He had only seen it twice, but both times he had opened the conversation in the midst of an argument.

It was unknown what kind of fortuitous encounters such a strong woman would have in the future.

”Madam Su, the disaster has finally stabilized. From today onwards, I will return to the capital to report this.”

Su Zhi's gaze turned sluggish and her frown deepened.

”Lord …” This humble woman has a presumptuous request. ”

”Speak.”

Su Zhi clasped her hands together, looking very nervous. After she muttered something for a while, she mustered up her courage and said word by word, ”Sir, can I borrow some silver from this humble woman?”

She looked at Liu Yuan for help, her cheeks blushing with shyness.

Borrowing money from a man he had only met twice, and he was also a powerful official.

After Su Zhi made the request, she could not wait to bite off her tongue. How big of a face did she have to lend him the money?

”If …” It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient, I, I, it's just... Wanted to take the children to their father. ”

She lowered her head helplessly, and a green and red mark appeared on her small hand that had been squeezed into a ball due to her nervousness.

”How much do you need?”
