Chapter 320 You guys better behave yourselves

"Thank you, Mother." Lu Sixing was arrested in a hurry and didn't have time to tell her two children. After being locked up here, her biggest worry was Xiao Zhen and her brother.

Now that she sees Xiaozhen is alright and can see her child again, her anxious mood has finally calmed down.

The Yuan family members over there were somewhat stunned as they listened to their conversation. What did this mean? Did this girl from the Lu family know the county magistrate?

Grandma Yuan hurriedly called out to the old lady, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, do you know when we can leave?"

The old lady turned her head sharply, looking at her angrily. "Don't call me in-law! Look what you've done to my granddaughter! And you're blaming my daughter? I haven't even mentioned that your well-mannered son caused trouble outside, which led to my daughter being locked up here. And you still have the nerve to hit my daughter and granddaughter? I'm really being kind to you!"

Old Mrs. Yuan was unhappy, "Then she..."

Village Chief Chen, who hadn't spoken until now, glared at her. "Alright, just shut up. This has nothing to do with the Lu family. If it weren't for Lu's daughter being here today, do you think you would have gotten away with it? All those who were arrested have been thrown into jail, while you're still in this clean house. Who do you think you're doing this for? Don't be ungrateful."

Grandma Yuan was still somewhat afraid of Village Chief Chen.

Village Chief Chen didn't bother arguing with the woman. He looked at Old Man Yuan and said, "That's the situation. You can only stay here for now. We'll talk about everything once we find Yuan Shanchuan. I also hope that Yuan Shanchuan didn't do anything wrong, and that you can all go home safely. As for your families, I'll make arrangements when I get back. There's nothing to worry about."

Old Yuan was still a little scared. "Then, will we be in danger here? Will the officials beat us or torture us to extract a confession?"

Hu Li scoffed, "What are you thinking? If we were going to torture you, we would have done it during the interrogation just now. Why would we let you tarnish the magistrate's reputation?"

"No, no, officer, we didn't mean that, we..."

Village Chief Chen sighed, "Alright, just answer whatever the adults ask honestly. Also, stop blaming Madam Lu; she's the most innocent one. If you keep causing trouble, you'll be stuck here for life."

After speaking, he glanced at Old Mrs. Yuan discreetly.

Old Man Yuan and his three brothers quickly replied, "No, we will definitely behave ourselves."

Village Chief Chen didn't have much to say. With Hu Li around, the more he said, the more the constable would think.

Therefore, after explaining things to the Yuan family, he waited aside.

Shu Yu didn't really have anything to say, and the old lady and Xiao Zhen were even less sure what to say. It was simply inappropriate to say anything in this kind of situation.

Lu Sixing held their hands for a long time before reluctantly letting go, and said to them, "Mother, Xiaozhen, Ayu, you can go now. I will take good care of myself."

Xiao Zhen's eyes welled up with tears again. She had cried so much today that her eyes were swollen and red.

Lu Sixing choked up as she told her, "You must listen to your grandmother, take good care of your younger brother, and stay home obediently waiting for your parents to come back, okay?"

"Yes, I will, Mother."

Despite their reluctance, the group left the room.

The sunlight outside was intense, but the hearts of the old lady and her companions felt cold and dark.

After walking a distance, the old lady looked back one last time, then lowered her head and pulled Shuyu aside.
