If he had run away, even if he could have succeeded, he would have had to live his life on the run, hiding from place to place as a wanted criminal.
Moreover, although the Liu Family matter was resolved, it didn’t necessarily mean everyone would lose their lives.
Sikong Mo could guess the result of the Liu Family based on the news he received; how could he not have anticipated it at all!
As for wanting Ye Jiu to seek leniency, it was merely Liu Yunqing’s attempt to add an extra layer of protection for the lives of the Liu Family members.
Regrettably, that girl was indeed ruthless enough, truly worthy of being a descendant of the Imperial Family. Even if she had grown up in a small mountain village, she could remain indifferent to the lives of hundreds of people.
Liu Yunqing couldn’t help but give a bitter smile; it was now impossible to scheme against her.
However, the one silver lining was that he had never done anything to offend her.
As the New Year approached, all matters were temporarily resolved, and the Ye Family finally settled down.
Unfortunately, there were always a few shortsighted individuals who wanted to stir up trouble deliberately.
At that time, Ye Jiu was organizing things in the house when the Attendant suddenly came in, "Miss, the old lady and the third grandmother are fighting under the big tree at the entrance of the village. You should hurry and take a look."
"How did they end up fighting? What happened? Is my mother hurt?" Ye Jiu asked as she hurriedly walked towards the door.
Fights and quarrels among the old women in the countryside were common; sometimes, just one wrong word could lead to brawls between two families, but these were usually trivial matters that would be resolved with persuasion afterwards.
Mrs. He had always been an indomitable spirit and had fought quite a few battles. But over the years, as she aged, although she still had a sharp tongue, she rarely got involved in physical confrontations.
Not to mention, with the prestige of her own family in the village now surpassing even the Clan Leader’s, everyone was too busy trying to curry favor, who would be so blind as to dare pick a fight with her mother!
The Attendant followed behind, explaining, "I only heard about it when I went out just now, someone from the village came to report it, and they’ve already sent someone to inform the fourth master and Ada, so the old lady should not be at a disadvantage."
Ye Jiu, who was hurrying along, nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Attendant, are you sure it’s the old lady and the third grandmother who are fighting, and not fighting with the third grandmother’s family?" Ye Jiu asked.
The Attendant was very perplexed, "I’m not very clear either, I just heard a bit of it and then hurried back to inform you, miss."
Ye Jiu picked up her pace and ran out without concern for her image.
If it was just the two old ladies fighting over a verbal dispute, it shouldn’t have been necessary to call so many people; but if it was the two families clashing, that definitely wasn’t a minor matter caused by a few words.
By the time Ye Jiujiu arrived in a hurry, she found out that it was not the two families fighting after all, it was purely the two old ladies who had come to blows over a disagreement.
However, looking at the situation before her, Mrs. He stood there with her hands on her hips, behind her were her son and Ye Old Man, and further back were Ada and the others, all lined up neatly, along with Xiang Nan and his entourage.
On the third grandmother’s side, there was also a large group of people, but they were either very old or very young, and a few middle-aged sons standing there couldn’t even straighten their backs clearly looking like they had been bullied.
Given that Ye Jiu’s seniority was higher, she only needed to address the third grandmother as Third Big Mother.
However, this third grandmother was none other than Ye Wenzheng’s own grandmother.
