The woman slowly calmed down and said, "If it is really as you say, I am willing to be a witness and personally send these two beasts to the guillotine!"

Su Chenyu said, "I won't lie to you, but right now, the soldiers in Xuanyang City are looking for you. You can't go back now!"

The woman said, "Well, how can I be willing to die before my enemy's soul has passed away?"

Madam Wen said, "Why don't you stay in the Wen Mansion for the time being? It's safer here!"

The woman immediately kowtowed to Madam Wen and said, "Thank you for taking me in, Madam. However, I won't live and eat for free. As long as Madam tells me to, I will do anything."

Madam Wen helped the man up and said, "Your wound hasn't healed completely yet. It's not too late to talk to you when you're fully recovered!"

"Thank you, ma'am!" The woman started crying again and continued, "I've asked many acquaintances for help recently, but they were afraid of getting into trouble and didn't dare to help. They all avoided me. You are the first person to reach out and help me."

Mrs. Wen could only console them by saying, "They are just ordinary people. Who would dare to go against the government?"

The woman wiped her tears and said, "I know. I don't blame others. It's me, as a mother, who is useless and failed to protect my own flesh and blood. My daughter didn't even have a thin coffin to be buried! Woo woo..."

The maids around her heard the lady's complaints and began to wipe away their tears sadly.

Madam Wen said, "The deceased are gone. Their spirits in heaven wouldn't want to see their mother become like this because of them!"

The woman nodded with red eyes and said, "Thank you for your patience in listening to me." After that, she bowed to everyone and walked outside.

When everyone saw her slightly hunched and desolate back, and her staggering steps, as if she were a walking corpse, they all felt sad.

Su Chenyu said, "I wonder how many local officials in Dragon Soul Country are oppressing the people and being selfish, and I don't know how many people are suffering the same tragic fate."

Jing Chen said: "It's time to deal with these pests!"

Prefect Wen was shocked, but he was glad that he still followed his conscience and never did anything to oppress the people.

After staying in Wen Mansion for two days, everyone started to set off back to Xujia Village.

However, Wenyuan and his sister did not go back with them.

Since Magistrate Wen was injured and could not work hard, Wen Yuan had to stay and help his father handle some official business.

Wen Die was reluctant to leave, and Xu Wenwu talked to her for a long time alone to comfort her before saying goodbye to the Wen family and leaving with everyone else.

Looking at the tall figure of her lover in white riding a horse, Wen Die couldn't help but stare in a daze, not knowing how long it would take before they could see each other again.

Madam Wen said, "Die'er, the Xu family will send a matchmaker to your house soon. Wenwu will go to Beijing to take the imperial examination next year, and you can't disturb his mind. After the exam, he will be able to marry you! Why bother with this moment!"

Wen Die nodded and said, "Mom, I understand. I also know Brother Xu's ambitions. I will definitely not be a stumbling block to Brother Xu. Mom, I also need to improve myself. I want to keep pace with him so that I can help him in the future!"

Madam Wen nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you know. Men all like intelligent women who can be their good wives and help them with advice when encountering problems. They can only respect each other if they cannot do without each other!"

Wendie nodded and said, "Mom, I understand!"

It took the five of them a day to reach Xujia Village, and everything was the same as when they left, without any changes.

When everyone arrived at Xujia Village, it was the time when tourists came out for a walk after dinner.

The arrival of several such handsome young men in the village attracted a lot of people's attention.

There were also a few girls who stared at them like crazy, and some even boldly threw a wink at them.

All of this was ignored by several people.

As I arrived at the door of Xu's house, I saw that the door was opened.

"Qibao, you're back!" Wang had just finished her meal and was about to go out for a walk to digest the food. As soon as she opened the door, she saw several people standing at the door.

"Well, grandma, we're back! But we haven't eaten yet, I'm so hungry!" Qibao grabbed Wang's arm and said coquettishly.

Wang touched Qibao's face and said distressedly, "Qibao, I see you've lost some weight. Are you so busy on the road that you haven't eaten properly? I'm so worried about you. Come on, go inside. I'll ask Mrs. Jin and the others to cook another meal for you!"

When everyone came to the main hall, Su Chenyu suddenly collapsed in the armchair, treating the Xu family as her own home.

The old man had just finished his meal and was about to pour himself a cup of tea to enjoy a few sips! Seeing the few people returning home, he quickly put down the teapot and said, "You are finally back? What took you so long?"

When Xu Laosan saw his daughter, he immediately poured her a glass of water and brought her some snacks. He took care of her meticulously, acting like a real daughter slave.

"My daughter! Why have you lost weight? How can this be? My daughter must have been exhausted on this trip!"

The old man nodded in agreement and said, "You've indeed lost some weight. Your face used to be round, but now it's become cone-shaped."

Qibao was speechless. This was too much exaggeration. He had only been away from home for about half a month. How could he have lost so much weight? He even pinched the flesh on his face. Hmm, it really was just an illusion of grandma and the others.

Li said, "Qibao! Your health is important! You can't do anything without eating. You're still young and growing!"

Zhang said, "That's right! Wenwu, as the eldest brother, why don't you take care of your younger sister a little more?"
