"Actually, when I went to the harem yesterday, I overheard your great-grandmother talking to him. She kept urging him to confess in court that he wanted to frame you and accidentally hurt me. Even though he didn’t agree outright, he seemed hesitant."
"So that’s how it was." Yang Chuxia nodded and added, "But your words completely dispelled his wavering thoughts."
"Well, this matter has finally come to a satisfactory conclusion. We should go home and live our life peacefully. Xiaxia, you shouldn’t be too tough in the future." Yang Land Officer was happy after leaving the county government office, but upon seeing the two children talking and thinking about Yang Chuxia’s past, he couldn’t help but give them some advice. "Look at what the village calls you now, ’spicy girl,’ the whole village knows about your fierce reputation. If this spreads, how can you deal with it in the future with so many strange looks?"
"Grandpa, you’re overthinking it." Yang Chuxia shrugged, not quite agreeing with Land Officer Yang’s words. "Besides, mouths are on other people’s bodies. I can’t control what they say or talk about. As for them, they can say what they want, and I’ll live my life. Saying something won’t cost me a piece of meat, as long as I feel comfortable with myself."
"But..." Land Officer Yang opened his mouth, wanting to say that this could affect her marriage prospects. But when his eyes glanced at Ye Zi’an, he suddenly had a flash of insight, and his eyes twinkled, ultimately not saying anything.
Yang Dachuan, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "Uncle, actually, Xiaxia is quite good , and she’s not bullied by others."
"Hmph, at least she’s better than you." Upon hearing this, Officer Yang snorted coldly, "You have the same temperament as your father."
"Grandpa, do you think my father isn’t my grandfather’s biological son? If not, then they have a resemblance in looks and character. If he is, why does my grandfather treat those adoptive siblings better than his own son?" Yang Chuxia heard Land Officer Yang talk about Old Yang, suddenly remembered the anomaly in the Yang Family, and couldn’t help but make a bad guess.
However, Land Officer Yang shouted, "Nonsense! How could it be fake if your father is your mother’s biological child? The midwife back then was the one I invited. As for your grandfather, his mind is muddled; he always listens to that dead old woman.". Actually, Land Officer Yang shouldn’t have mentioned this in front of the younger generation, but every time he thought about his cousin being crushed by a woman, he couldn’t help but get angry.
As Land Officer Yang and Yang Chuxia were talking, the people from the Old Yang family also came out. Old Lady Hua continued to scold Yang Da’an for not being respectful enough to his siblings.
However, when she heard Yang Land Officer say that Yang Dachuan was Old Yang’s biological son, her eyes shrank slightly. But Yang Chuxia did not notice this; otherwise, she would have had suspicions.
"Miss, Ye Zi’an, wait a moment." Originally, when Yang Chuxia left the county government office, she thought it was already noon, and everyone was almost hungry, so she planned to invite everyone to eat a meal together before heading back to the village. Therefore, when she left the county government office, she walked straight ahead, completely forgetting what the constables had told her before: to wait outside the office.
Now Yang Chuxia saw Constable Hong catching up, she suddenly remembered what had happened. "I’m so sorry, I forgot what you told me and caused you to run after me."
Yang Chuxia bent her waist and made a fist, looking very free and easy.
Constable Hong appreciated her straightforward manner and laughed as he waved his hand, "No worries, it was just a short distance. Miss, take this. This is your compensation."
