Hearing these words, everyone instantly understood that they were here to understand the village’s situation.

"Oh, so it’s like this. Let’s go, let’s go. I’ll take you guys there." She looked back and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

It was rare for outsiders to come to the village. Although they were vigilant, they were also curious. These two people were dressed in impersonating clothes, so it was possible that they might have come from the Imperial City.

They looked at each other, and one of the older men nodded and said with certainty, "Okay, let’s go together and see if the village chief is at home."

Hearing this, Hu Xiao was happy, glad that they did not doubt him and Qin Shuo anymore.

Everyone rushed to the Village Head’s house. When the Village Chief’s wife saw the situation, she hurried over and asked in puzzlement, "What’s going on? Is there something wrong?"

Especially when she saw Qin Shuo and his wife, she was even more shocked in her heart.

Who are these two? What are they here for!

Without waiting for the villagers to reply, the village head’s wife rushed into the house and shouted, "The child’s father, come out quickly ..."

When the village chief heard this voice, he thought something had happened and immediately ran out. When he saw Hu Xiao and the others, he asked in an imposing tone, "Second Gouzi, who are these two?"

"Village Chief, hello. It’s like this. We were sent by the Shangguan family. We wanted to ask you about the situation in the village." Hu Xiao said politely with a grin.

She took a step forward and got closer to the village chief. When the village chief heard that they were sent from above, his attitude immediately changed.

No wonder these two were dressed well, they were sent by the government.

"Alright, alright, just ask whatever you want to ask." The Village Chief’s face was full of smiles. He respectfully welcomed Qin Shuo and Hu Xiao into the house.

Seeing this, the village head and the others also wanted to follow him in. Naturally, the village head did not give them permission. He rolled his eyes and domineeringly said, "Disperse. Disperse. Disperse. What do you know? What’s there to look at?"

"Tsk, if you don’t want to watch, then don’t. I don’t care." The village woman pouted and turned around to leave. Everyone unwillingly took a glance inside the house and left as well.

The village chief’s wife was very passionate, she poured them a cup of tea and sat down. Hu Xiao then said leisurely: "village chief, tell me about the situation in the village.

Hu Xiao raised her eyebrows and asked seriously. Right now, she mainly understood the situation in the different regions in the East Court.

The village chief sighed. There were too many disasters, otherwise, the villagers would not be in such a hurry to dry the rice.

The older generation all said that the south is afraid of water and the north is afraid of drought, but this year it is a bit abnormal. Although the rainfall in the north is not as great as in the south, there is still quite a bit of rain.

The village chief’s face was full of worry. As the village head, if he couldn’t help the village, how could he still be called the village head?

However, the heavens did not want him to be a beauty, and he had no way to resolve this matter.

He could only hope that these two people would report this matter to the emperor so that he would know about it.

After listening to the Village Chief’s narration, Hu Xiao’s face gradually turned serious. She had always been in the palace and her life had been carefree and relaxed.

"Young master, young lady, it would be great if you could report this matter to the sect when you return. I’m so worried about this matter that I can’t even eat properly, aiya!" The Village Chief sighed heavily, but the respect in his eyes never faded.

Hu Xiao was very upset. She nodded urgently and said in a firm voice, "No problem. Village Chief, after we return, we will definitely tell the Emperor about the situation in your village."

After exiting the Village Chief’s house, Hu Xiao looked at the rice grains in the courtyard, and couldn’t help but to wonder, what had caused the weather to be so abnormal!

"Xiaoxiao, stop thinking about it. The sun is about to set. Let’s go back." Qin Shuo held Hu Xiao’s hand and quickly walked out of the village.

After hearing what the Village Chief said, he felt deeply moved. The Village Chief had said many things. What he felt the most deeply was that the calamity was right beside him. Who knew when it would happen?

As the two of them were walking, they bumped into gossipy girls at the village entrance.

"Yo, you two are going back!" When the Eight Trigrams Sis saw Qin Shuo and Qin Shuo, she smiled and greeted them.

Hu Xiao raised her eyebrows, thinking that the people of the village were pretty optimistic, no matter what happened, they would always be happy.

"Sister, what did the Village Chief say?" The village woman excitedly asked. Her eyes flickered as she stared at Hu Xiao.

"It’s nothing, we just asked about some recent disasters." Hu Xiao shrugged and answered simply.

However, he thought to himself, why is she so gossipy? She wants to know everything. If I don’t tell her, she will definitely ruin my reputation in front of others.

She put her hand on the tip of her nose and suddenly said, "You’re a disaster, why don’t you ask me? Let me tell you, these are all the sins created by the heavens!"

With that, the village woman shook her head, she covered her face and sighed, "It’s because our country has a disaster that’s the Queen. If it wasn’t for her, there wouldn’t have been such a disaster.

As soon as the village woman started talking, she couldn’t control her own mouth.

Hearing this, Qin Shuo’s expression immediately sank, and said that his wife was the Demon Empress! Who the hell said that!

Qin Shuo bit his lips, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. "Who said that the disaster at East Court was caused by the Empress?"

His fingers clenched into a fist. He was extremely angry. If the person standing in front of him was a strong man, then he would definitely beat that person to death.

Not only was she not angry, but she was also laughing out loud. If only she had that kind of ability, to be able to bring calamity to East Court, this woman’s imagination was definitely not ordinary.

"That’s what everyone is saying, it’s not like I’m the only one who said it. What, have you not heard of it before?" The village woman opened her eyes wide, "It can’t be, everyone in the city said that, and you all actually didn’t know about it!"

The village woman was extremely shocked. The people in the city had said that the Empress had brought the disaster of South Yue over.

If not for the fact that Empress Hu Xiao’s stomach could hold up the boat, she might have already been driven mad by the village woman’s words. Not only did she say that, everyone in the city said the same thing.

"I’m warning you, don’t say that anymore!" Suddenly, Qin Shuo blurted out these words.

If not for him being afraid of exposing his identity, he really wanted to hold a meeting for the villagers to uphold Hu Xiao’s honor and take off the title of Calamity Queen.

"Why should I!" The village woman rolled her eyes at him and ran away.
