Chapter 359 - 359 Tricking Everyone
359 Tricking Everyone
In less than a morning, almost the entire village knew that the Fang family’s daughter-in-law had finally gotten pregnant. Due to the exhaustion from the previous journey, there was a risk of a miscarriage.
Although the villagers were discussing, no one ran to the Fang family’s home to ask.
After all, under such circumstances, it was a little too much to disturb them. Moreover, most importantly, they might not open the door to welcome them in, so they might get rejected.
Of course, there was another reason no one was paying attention to the Fang family. General Gu planned to enter the mountain to hunt.
This wasn’t that out of the ordinary. After all, it was very common for generals to go into the mountains to hunt.
However, in this village, going into the mountains to hunt was quite extraordinary.
It had to be known that the news of demons eating humans in this mountain had long been deeply established in this area.
“Why not?” Lu Ze stared at the village chief, who was kneeling in front of him and begging him to change his mind, coldly.
“How dare you say that there are demons in the mountain? Village Chief, if there are really demons in this world, I’ll get rid of them tomorrow so that the villagers can go into the forest again. Isn’t that good?”
“General, what if…” The village chief raised his head slightly and looked at the man in front of him anxiously. He felt a flash of inspiration and tried to grab it, but in the end, he failed to.
He was just a village chief now, so all he could do was try to stop them, but without any deterrence.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility for what I do. It has nothing to do with you.” Lu Ze gestured for Su Qi to send the village chief out.
After the village chief was dragged out by Su Qi and the others, when he met the villagers outside, he could only shake his head helplessly.
Su Qi ignored them. After throwing them out, he turned around and entered the courtyard.
The village chief only stayed for a while before leaving with the other villagers.
Because there was no way to stop it, early the next morning, no matter how unwilling the village chief was, he could only watch Lu Ze and his men enter the forest with a bitter expression.
However, to the village chief’s surprise, Su Qi, who had sent him out of the courtyard yesterday, came over and said to him, “The general instructs you to find two villagers who are familiar with the environment in the forest to lead the way. If you can let our general hunt to his heart’s content this time, you will definitely be rewarded when he comes back!”
The village chief was stunned by this request, but he quickly reacted. He hurriedly nodded as he pushed out the two brothers who were not far from him. “They’ll do. Their father is a famous old hunter in our area. Previously, these two brothers followed their father into the mountains often.”
Su Qi didn’t ask further. After he called the brothers over, the group set off into the forest.
After Lu Ze left, Lin Suisui, who had stayed in the village, finished her breakfast and brought Bai Guo, Yin Qiao, and the others to the Fang family’s courtyard.
Fang Liu had told the outside world that she was recuperating in her room and because the weather was good today, Mrs. Luo sat under the old locust tree in the courtyard to talk with Lin Suisui.
Lin Suisui pretended not to see the black hair that popped up from time to time on the wall. She chatted with Mrs. Luo for a while before finally looking at the wall. “Is that your neighbor’s house?”
“Huanniang, why aren’t you packing up and kowtowing to Madam?” Mrs. Luo followed Lin Suisui’s gaze and instructed loudly.
Originally, they could only eavesdrop. Now that they could come over in an above-board manner, this was naturally what the other party wanted.
Soon, the meticulously dressed-up woman and her daughter came over and greeted Lin Suisui.
“Get up quickly! I heard Mrs. Luo mention you guys. She said that her family was unfamiliar with this village at first and it was only with your help that her family could live peacefully.”
Lin Suisui gestured for the little girl beside her to go forward and help her up. She suppressed her arrogant temperament as she looked at the young lady, who was clearly dressed up, and the smile on her face widened. After she turned to look at Bai Guo, she gestured for her to take the pouch that she had prepared before coming over and hand it over.
“Nice to meet you guys. I don’t know what you like. This is just a little bit of silver. Take it and buy some fruits to eat!”
The mother and daughter didn’t expect Lin Suisui to be so generous, so they quickly knelt down and kowtowed to her again. Then, with the little girl’s help, they stood up and continued to talk to her.
Not long after, Fang Rui’er came out of the room and said to Lin Suisui, “Sister Liu, my sister-in-law has something to tell you.”
“Alright.” After Lin Suisui stood up and took two steps towards the room, as if she had thought of something, she stopped and turned to look at the mother and daughter standing there. Then, she asked with a smile, “Didn’t you just say that you were watching because you were worried about the Fang family’s sister-in-law? Why don’t we go in and take a look together?”
The mother and daughter didn’t think too much about it. Now was the time to think of a way to build a good relationship with the madam in front of them, so they agreed and followed her into the inner room.
However, to their surprise, not long after they entered, the door behind them was slammed shut. They were shocked and wanted to call for help, but Su Le and the others, who had been waiting beside them, were faster. They tied them up like dumplings.
“I know what you’re planning. Originally, I wanted to take my time dealing with you guys. However, after the night, I changed my mind.” Lin Suisui walked to the seat at the side and sat down. Then, she looked at the mother and daughter, who were looking at her in shock and confusion. After a while, she asked indifferently, “So, who are you guys and why are you here?”
