Feng Zhen wore an expression of having lost all desire to live.
"If I ever believe your words, you cruel person, it will be because I left my mind at home."
Faced with Feng Zhen's outburst of disgust, Wei Ci laughed silently.
Due to the power shift in Shangyang County, all the scholarly families within the county besides the Feng family were slowly making plans.
Why was this?
Those with keen eyes had observed that Jiang Pengji lacked manpower, especially men with abilities.
Because it was difficult to be educated, many of those literates were from already scholarly families. In other words, if Jiang Pengji wanted to recruit capable men with talents, she would certainly have to choose from within the scholarly families. This was an opportunity for them to openly get involved with Shangyang County's governing power.
If they wielded most of the power, Shangyang County would still belong to them, not to Jiang Pengji, a foreigner.
