As Mrs. Xie thought about this, the smile on her face became even more sincere. Seeing Madam Liu and the others bow, she hurriedly got someone to help them up.”You’re too polite. I’m here to tell you the good news.”
“The Wang family has been executed. All the members of the Wang family have been imprisoned.”
“In the future, you don’t have to worry about your own safety anymore,” Mrs. Xie said sincerely.
When Madam Qian heard this, she patted her chest. “That’s great. The county magistrate is really awesome. This kind of landlord who doesn’t treat human lives as important should be dealt with directly. Otherwise, more people will definitely get into trouble in the future.”
“Madam Qian is right. There won’t be another Landlord Wang in Nanchang
County in the future.”
Madam Liu did not think that the county magistrate could settle this matter. If that was the case, he should have settled it long ago. How could he let her third daughter-in-law be captured in the county office? It was obvious that the county office was not safe either.
“Thank you for your help, Mrs. Xie.” Madam Liu followed suit and bowed. She meant that all the credit should go to the Xie family.
“Thank you, Mrs. Xie, for protecting our family. I can’t repay your kindness. If you need any help in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask,” Ye Muyu said.
Although she knew that Chu Heng had something to do with the quick resolution, she could not say that now. Judging from Mrs. Xie’s attitude, the Xie family could be on good terms. Since they wanted to be on good terms, they naturally had to repay the favor they owed.
Mrs. Xie was slightly stunned. Seeing the sincere look in their eyes, the little bit of worry in her heart disappeared. This country bumpkin was not as difficult to get along with as she had imagined.
“Old Madam, Mrs. Chu you’re too serious. This time, we were able to solve the Wang family’s matter because of Scholar Chu and Commandant Ye. Our Xie family didn’t do much.”
“Then why don’t you stay for dinner tonight before going back? Take it as me thanking everyone for your help, so please don’t refuse. It’s already late, so you can wait until tomorrow when the county is stable before leaving. I don’t know if there will be any fish from the Wang family that will escape. If you stay in the Xie residence, those small fries will definitely not dare to come and act presumptuously.” Although Mrs. Xie was prideful, she would treat those whom she truly accepted with sincerity. She did not intend to say these words at first.
However, she could tell that Madam Liu and Ye Muyu were not greedy. In fact, since they had their own pride, she admired them and hoped that they could get along more in the future.
Naturally, she did not want anything to happen to them, so she added a few more words.
Ye Muyu knew that what Mrs. Xie said made sense. However, with the elders present, she naturally would not make her own decisions. She turned to look at Madam Liu and asked for her opinion.
Madam Liu smiled faintly. “Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Xu. However, the rest of the family will definitely be worried…’
“That’s simple. I’ll send a servant to inform them not to worry.”
Since Mrs. Xie had already said so, it would be rude of Madam Liu to reject it again. Thus, she nodded and agreed without further rejection.
“Don’t worry. We still have to invite Young General Shen to dinner tonight.
Commandant Ye and the county magistrate will also come. As for Scholar Chu, I haven’t received any news yet. I don’t know where he is…” Mrs. Xie was afraid that they would be nervous, so she explained in more detail. Seeing that Madam Liu was worried after hearing her words, it was obvious that she had misunderstood, so she quickly added, “Old Madam, don’t worry. Although I have no news of Scholar Chu, my third son said that Scholar Chu is very safe. He might not come back, but will go to the capital city directly for the exam.”
“Speaking of which, my third son is leaving in two days. This matter has been delayed for too long, and it’s less than a month away from the provincial examination.. “
