C229: How dare I say it

He Zhiran thought for a moment and said, "Even if I am willing to help Nan Rui's Empress Dowager dispel the gu poison, I cannot reveal my true identity."

Mo Jiuye agreed, "That's right."

It was simple for He Zhiran to not reveal her true identity. She only needed to buy some props and put on some makeup. No one would be able to recognize her.

"How about I pretend to be an old person and try not to speak as much as possible?"

Mo Jiuye nodded, "Okay, it's decided. I will notify Nan Rui in three days and tell him the gu poisoning expert has been found."

After settling the matter, the lovers lingered together before falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning, some officials arrived.

Because there had been a smallpox scare in Yuncheng the previous day, the original plan to have the officials come and survey the wasteland and mountainside had not happened.

Today, Meng Huaining was quite concerned about this matter and had sent people over early.

Mo Jiuye led the officials to survey the land. The wasteland was not much different from their estimated quantity, a total of 51 mu.

However, the estimate for the mountainside was way off. The officials only surveyed around the foot of the mountain and then casually decided to sell the entirety of the mountainside upwards to the Mo family. The area was extremely arbitrary, stated as just 100 mu.

For such a large mountainside, there was no way it was only 100 mu. Mo Jiuye estimated it was at least 300 mu. It was clear Meng Huaining had given instructions to the officials before they came.

In any case, the Mo family's relationship with Meng Huaining would not end like this. There would be plenty of chances to repay this favor in the future.

While Mo Jiuye was busy leading the officials in the survey, He Zhiran was not idle either.

The Zhou clan chief specifically sent someone to tell her the Cui family could no longer endure and planned to sell not only their fertile fields but also the house they lived in.

After thanking the Zhou clan messenger, He Zhiran decided to go take a look at the Cui family's situation.

Old Lady Mo was worried the Cui family would hold a grudge against them, so she had Liang Hao accompany He Zhiran, a weak woman with no martial arts skills, so she would be safe.

When He Zhiran and Liang Hao arrived at the Cui family's land, it was already surrounded by people.

Perhaps because the Cui family had spread the news about selling their fields and houses early, there were many unfamiliar faces among the onlookers.

They were likely outsiders who wanted to buy property and land here.

People from the Xie and Fang families had also come. They crowded around He Zhiran when they saw her.

After greeting them, He Zhiran maintained an observational stance.

She wanted to see if the Cui family could still play any tricks at this point.

Just then, an elderly Cui clansman loudly declared, "Heaven is unfair. It does not allow my Cui family to survive. We have no choice but to sell the houses and land in our hands."

The elder called over a young man and had him lead the outsiders to see the Cui family's fields for sale.

As the Cui youth guided the outsiders to the fields, He Zhiran and the Xie and Fang families followed along.
