"We're here. The one with the most people up ahead is the one. I won't go there, young master, you can go directly there."

Uncle Niu put the person down and drove the oxcart back. Changbai walked alone towards the place with the most people. The further he walked, the louder his voice became, filled with curses and accusations from men and women.

"Liu Huan, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been sent back. What exactly are you up to? I'm going to fight you to the death today."

Hearing the noise, Changbai rushed over and stopped the woman. "Miss, are you alright?"

Liu Huan shook her head. If Changbai hadn't stopped her, she probably would have already started fighting with Madam Feng.

"Why are you here?" Liu Huan looked back and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see the person.

Changbai explained, "Don't worry, Miss. I didn't tell anyone else. I just wanted to go and see what was going on, but the neighbors said you had come to the village."

As if she had discovered a secret, Feng shouted loudly, "I knew it! Liu's usual demeanor is all an act. She's only been in the county for a few days, and she's already seeing men one after another."

The village chief's eldest daughter-in-law chimed in, "Exactly! If we keep this kind of person in the village, will our village's girls even be able to get married? Who from other villages would dare to marry their daughters into our village?"

These words prompted even those who were not directly involved to criticize Liu Huan, demanding that she move out immediately.

Liu Huan is the type of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force; if you try to force her, she simply won't be in a hurry to move.

“This is the house I bought, and the paperwork is done. I can move whenever I want, and you can only watch.”

After saying that, he led everyone into the house, and when Madam Feng followed, he kicked the door shut.

Ren Fengshi continued to curse outside.

Changbai was completely bewildered, and Qiurong then explained what had happened.

The problem still lies with the Chu family. Yesterday, Old Madam Chu listened to Liu Huan's words and went back to have someone investigate Zhang Anxin's background.

Upon discovering that her mother was also a widow and a restless woman, she arranged for Zhang Anxin to be sent to a middleman to prevent any mishaps.

The middleman had no choice but to send the person back to the village. Feng was furious and demanded that the middleman return the money.

The middleman threatened, "I did manage to get your daughter in, but why she didn't stay is not my problem. You still want money? I haven't even made you compensate me for my reputation in the Chu family yet."

Not daring to vent her anger on the middleman, Madam Feng took it out on Zhang Anxin, beating him before asking, "Tell me what happened? Why did the Chu family suddenly abandon you?"

Zhang Anxin tearfully recounted what had happened, omitting, of course, the fact that she had deliberately said those things in front of Chu Ying.

Upon hearing this, Madam Feng was furious. The next day, she went to her brothers and sisters-in-law on her own side and made a scene at the Liu family's house. Liu Huan was afraid that the matter would escalate and be discovered by Su Yi, so she had no choice but to return with these people.

Upon returning, Feng refused to let it go, claiming that Liu Huan had ruined the young girl's future and demanding compensation, which meant that Liu Huan should move away from Heshui Village.

Furthermore, the house should be left to Zhang Anxin as compensation for losses.

Liu Huan almost burst out laughing. She had never seen anyone so shameless. After mocking her, Feng Shi became furious and the two almost got into a fight.

Then we arrived at Changbai Mountain.

Changbai found it unbelievable when he heard this. Upon hearing the name Feng, he immediately thought of Qiu Rong's stepmother. They both had the surname Feng, so how could they be so different?

"What are you going to do, Miss?"

Looking at the courtyard she had carefully tended for several years, Liu Huan said with a hint of reluctance, "What else can we do but move away? However, I will only talk to the village chief about this."

She received the exact amount she was owed when she bought the house and moved out immediately. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let the people of Heshui Village benefit from it, even if it was just for raising chickens.

"Qiuju, you guys go cook first. People need to eat, otherwise they'll get hungry."

She had the foresight to bring all the ingredients she bought before she arrived.

The village chief and clan elders arrived while they were eating, and they felt uncomfortable seeing the table full of fish and meat. Even though he was the village chief, his family couldn't afford to eat meat at every meal, but the Liu family never skipped a single meal.

I couldn't help but feel a little resentful. They're so rich, yet they won't even buy something for the villagers.

"Liu, what's going on between you and Feng? I heard you framed her family so that Anxin couldn't serve in the Chu family. Are you determined to wipe them out?"

Liu Huan swallowed what was in her mouth, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said, "Whatever the village chief says goes. Anyway, you don't believe anyone except the Zhang family."

"What kind of attitude is this? I just want to resolve the conflict between you."

Liu Huan found it amusing, "Then, may I ask how the village chief plans to resolve this?"

The village chief looked around. Everyone knew the Liu family was wealthy; you could tell just by looking at the things they used.

“Since this matter arose because of you, you should compensate Mrs. Feng with twenty taels of silver. I will tell him not to hold it against her. We are all neighbors, and it is not appropriate to make trouble every day.”

Liu Huan continued eating without responding to the question. The village chief, feeling hungry from the aroma, asked irritably, "Give me an answer."

Liu Huan slowly said again, "Tell Madam Feng that I don't want twenty taels, and I'll forgive her for spreading rumors about me even if it's just ten taels of silver."

The village chief was furious when he heard this. "You are simply absurd. If you insist on doing this, then your family should move out of Heshui Village. Our village cannot tolerate unruly people."

"Disorder? I dare not accept that charge. Since the village chief has not come up with a reason, please leave."

The clan elder standing nearby said, "Why are you wasting your breath talking to her? Someone like her, even if she's expelled from the village, people will just say she was expelled because she was immoral."

Liu Huan slammed her chopsticks down. "So you're trying to force a confession out of me?"

The clan elder made a boastful statement: "Hmph, as long as you obediently move out and donate this house to the village, we'll pretend this never happened."

Qiu Ju and the others were so angry that they wanted to stand up, but Liu Huan looked at Chang Bai and asked, "My lord, do you think their method is feasible?"

Changbai adopted a stern posture, stood up, and said with a stern face, "How dare you! You dare to threaten people while I'm still here. What else are you incapable of doing?"

Just now, Changbai was sitting with his back to the village chief and the others. Now, when he turned around, the village chief saw that the person looked somewhat familiar. He quickly remembered that he was a person who had been with the imperial envoy three years ago. It had already become widely known in the city that the current county magistrate was the imperial envoy from back then.

"My lord, I am but a commoner..."

“Village chief, I never expected you to manage the village like this. I think you’re getting senile. It’s time to change the village chief position.”

The village chief was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. "Your Honor is innocent! The feud between Lady Liu and Madam Feng has been going on for a long time. This matter must be resolved. We will return Lady Liu's money, and we will not sell the house."

"What does Lady Liu think?"

"Let's do as the village chief says. Since the villagers don't welcome me, I'll just leave. It's just that my reputation..."

The village chief immediately said, "Don't worry, Madam Liu. You're selling it because your child is going to school and you don't live in the village anymore. It's a mutually agreeable transaction."

Liu Huan didn't want to argue any longer; the thought of this village disgusted her. "Then give us three days so we can move our things."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say."

Liu Huan asked in a friendly manner, "Village Chief, would you like to stay for dinner?"

"No need, no need, you can continue eating. We'll be leaving now."
