The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 382: Madam Li’s Face Changed

That day, Shu Yu took Xiaozhen to the county office. The three daughters-in-law of the Yuan family could not catch up with their mule carriage, so they could only wait at home for news.

They originally saw that Shu Yu was very familiar with the Lord and might have a way to save the Yuan family. They still had some hope in their hearts.

Who knew that at night, the village chief, who had gone to the county office together, would return?

His words were still the same. He had to find Yuan Shanchuan, or else there would be no discussion.

Only by finding Yuan Shanchuan and asking the truth could the Yuan family

be released.

The third daughter-in-law of the Yuan family almost cried to death when she heard this.

They thought that the girl from the Lu family was very capable, but in the end, she could only meet her once outside and could not bring her home at all.

Not only could she not save the Yuan family, but even her aunt, Lu Sixing, could not do anything about it.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

The third daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, who was originally looking forward to and afraid of her, seemed to have found an outlet to vent her anger. Not only did she blame Yuan Shanchuan, but she also pushed all the blame onto the Lu family.

On the day Lu Sixing was arrested, the three of them said that she was a jinx.

Now, this rumor was getting more and more powerful. At first, the villagers of Daxu Village knew that they were venting their anger on them and that some words could not be trusted.

However, the three of them spoke with confidence and fervor, cutting out some of the privacy they had at home in the past. She said that her family’s life was getting worse because of her. Later on, she married someone and this bad luck was brought to the Yuan family.

Now, the Lu family was slowly leading a better life, but the Yuan family was getting worse and worse. All of this was caused by Lu Sixing.

They also gave many examples. As long as there was a little trouble in the Yuan family, they would blame Lu Sixing and say that it had something to do with her.

It directly confirmed Lu Sixings reputation as a jinx.

Village chief Chen did look for them, but it was not easy to stop such rumors, especially when their men had been captured. They also began to give up. Anyway, they didn’t hit or scold anyone. They just said a few words. What’s wrong with that? Did he have to sew their mouths up?

Village chief Chen couldn’t force them, but there was no news from the yamen.

Those words had already reached the ears of the Li family of Shangshi Village. Even a member of the Li family felt that those rumors were reasonable, let alone the villagers of Daxu Village.

When Daniu heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

“Mother, let’s not delay any longer. Let’s go to Daxu Village now.”

Originally, he had said that Fourth Uncle’s body had not fully recovered and that it would be better to recuperate in the county town before going back. He was not in a hurry. However, Fourth Uncle said that he had been missing for many days. He had caused such a huge incident and even implicated the Yuan family. Since he had returned, he naturally should come forward as soon as possible and explain the matter clearly.

Now it seemed that they should have appeared earlier. Otherwise, if they were to delay for another two days, the rumors would become more and more serious. Fourth Aunt’s reputation would probably be completely ruined.

Madam Li received the silver in her hands. Although she was still unwilling, she did not say anything more. She only nodded and followed Daniu out.

Yuan Shanchuan was talking to Lu Dasong in the courtyard. The latter had a rough understanding of the situation.

When he saw Daniu and the other man come out, Lu Dasong immediately glared at Madam Li. Just as he was about to say something, Madam Li had already come forward and said with a smile, “Then be careful on your way. Go early and come back early..”
