However, with Madam Liu’s intelligence, she must have guessed something. Otherwise, she would not have asked her directly. Ye Muyu thought that having an elder in the family was like having a treasure.
The elders were more knowledgeable than her. Thinking about it from another perspective, if the younger generation hid things from her in the future and did not say anything, she would probably be quite sad.
“It’s the Wang family…” Ye Muyu explained the situation while coaxing the two children to sleep.
The Xie family had thoughtfully prepared a guest room for them. The two children were frightened and cried for a long time. Now, they were so tired that they fell asleep.
After hearing the news from Ye Muyu, Madam Qian was so shocked that she could not close her mouth.
Madam Liu was only surprised for a moment before she calmed down. When she was young, she had also heard her father talk about these things. However, at that time, her maternal family had already fallen into decline. Her father felt that these things were barely related to them, so he no longer cared about them.
She did not expect that she would still have such good fortune in her middle age.
“We’ll just stay in the Xie residence obediently. After this matter is over, we’ll send gifts to thank them,” Madam Liu said.
“That’s what I was thinking too.” Ye Muyu nodded.
“Let me have some tea first.” Madam Qian was still worried about Chu Xing, which was why she kept drinking tea to suppress the panic in her heart, especially when she heard Ye Muyu say that there might be chaos in the city.
Those were mountain bandits.
Previously, she had thought that there were only a few guards of the Wang family.
Nonetheless, it was not something that a commoner like her could deal with.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Ye Muyu stood up, and Madam Qian walked over first. She saw Chu Xing at a glance, and there was a servant beside him.
“Ah Xing?” Madam Qian rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Chu Xing was also very happy to see his mother.
“Mother, Sister-in-law, Third Aunt.” Chu Xing pointed at the servant beside him. “Butler Luo asked me to bring him over. He said that if you have any orders, just ask him to do it.” “The butler of the Xie residence also asked a servant to bring me in.”
“I’ll stay in the room behind you.”
“Mother, then I won’t talk to you anymore. Men and women are different.” Chu Xing rubbed his nose and felt a little awkward. In the countryside, he did not care about this, but the Xie family had strict rules. After he was brought in, a servant boy told him that he could do whatever he wanted in his own house, but it was better to follow the rules in other people’s houses.
Moreover, he saw that the servant was not deliberately insulting or discriminating. After listening to the other party’s words, he understood a little more about the rich families, and he was also happy that managed learn something.
MadamQian instantly understood when she heard that. Atter all, she had just witnessed the imposing manner of the Xie family. “Okay, okay, okay. Go quickly.”
Chu Xing did not say much. He was still a little uncomfortable, afraid that he would say something wrong and be embarrassed. He could prevent making a fool of himself by talking less and listening more.
“Old Madam, if you need anything, just tell us.” The servant girl guarding the door reminded him.
“No need, no need.” Madam Qian hurriedly said.
The servant girl left and said no more.
Madam Qian heaved a sigh of relief, closed the door, and entered the house.
“Ah Xing is back. Let’s just stay here in peace,” Madam Qian said with a smile. Seeing her , Madam Liu smiled. She was relieved that Chu Xing was fine.
Very quickly, in the county office…
Landlord Wang finally saw County Magistrate Xu, but he was stunned by the confession.
“Lord Xu, what are you doing?!” Landlord Wang’s expression changed drastically as he asked..
