Madam Liu nodded. “Third daughter-in-law is right. We don’t have anything good at home now. We can go to the neighboring village and buy some honey from the beekeeper. It can be a supplement.”

“Sure, I’m just worried that the gifts will be too shabby. Since Ah Yu said that, I’m relieved.” Madam Qian relaxed and smiled.

The next morning…

Ye Muyu, Madam Liu, and the others went to bid farewell to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie did not keep them for long. There were many things to do in the manor, so she asked Ye Muyu to come to the manor more often in the future. At the same time, she arranged a carriage to send them back.

When Madam Liu and the others first came to the county, they took the mule cart.

With the carriage from the Xie family, the mule carriage was used to carry some cloth, ingredients, paper, and brushes that Butler Luo had instructed Ye Muyu to prepare.

They returned to the village.

When the villagers saw the Xie family’s carriage, they all looked over curiously.

Soon, they found out that it was the Xie family’s carriage that had brought the Chu family back.

When Chu Zhiwen and Chu Lin heard the news, Madam Liu had already returned home.

“Mother, you’re back?”

“Why are there so many things?”

Chu Lin still had mud in his hands. He and Chu Zhiwen went to look at the rice in the fields. When it was the day to harvest the rice, they looked more and more diligently, especially since there was more rain this year.

Madam Liu stood in the courtyard, arranging the distribution of materials and other items.

“These things were all arranged by Third Brother’s family. They said that they were made of materials from other places and we don’t have them here. There’s also paper for Ah Sheng and Ah Ming to study with.”

“Leave the things here to your second brother’s family. Since you’re back, call him over to get it later.”

“Mother, is everything alright in the county?” Chu Lin did not leave immediately. Instead, he closed the courtyard door and walked to Madam Liu’s side to ask.

When Madam Zhang and Chu Qingxiang heard this, they could not help but stop in their tracks and look at Madam Liu.

Madam Liu’s expression was indifferent. “How is it okay? If it was not for the protection of the Xie family, you might not even see your mother anymore.”

“Mother, what happened?” Chu Lin was a little anxious, and the worry on his face could not be concealed.

Even Madam Zhang’s heart was pounding. She looked at Chu Lin guiltily and did not dare to look at Madam Liu.

Chu Qingxiang clenched her fists and bit her lip, not saying a word.

“Wife, don’t waste time. What’s going on? You don’t want us to go to the county, so we’re worried sick at home.” It seemed like a day and a night, but Chu Zhiwen had experienced a feeling of anxiety that he had never experienced in his life.

Madam Liu glanced at him indifferently.

Chu Zhiwen touched the tip of his nose and glanced at Chu Lin. “Bring a chair over for your mother.”

Chu Lin was stunned for a moment, but he did not say anything. He silently went to get a chair.

Madam Liu did not refuse and sat down directly. Madam Zhang also brought out a cup of tea and handed it to her fawningly.

“Find a stool and sit down.” Madam Liu’s expression was indifferent and she did not take the tea. Madam Zhang’s face turned pale and she looked at Chu Lin uneasily.

Chu Lin gestured to her, and Madam Zhang quickly braced herself and placed the tea beside Madam Liu.

Chu Zhiwen listened to Madam Liu’s words and was the first to obediently sit down on a stool.

Seeing this, Chu Lin and the others naturally learned from their father.

“What happened yesterday is simple, but it’s also complicated.” Madam Liu finally spoke after seeing that the whole family was ready.

“The Wang family got someone to kidnap Ah Yu and the Third Young Master of the Xie family.”

“I don’t know how Ah Yu made her preparations, but in the end, the two of them prepared the antidote for the knockout powder in advance and escaped from the hands of that kidnapper..”
