Yun Ruoxi: "Okay, I can go for a walk with you, but you have to promise me that you won't do anything dangerous. You have to be careful, very careful."
Mu Ruxue smiled happily and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, I will definitely be very careful."
"Since we're going out, we need to plan carefully. We definitely can't go inland right now. The outside is full of refugees. I heard that many cities have been sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. We can only go to the islands to play. Now you can choose to go to Peach Blossom Island or find an island to play on."
Before Mu Ruxue could figure out where to go, Jamel Xiao walked in from outside, "Where are you going to play? You must not run away alone. Even if you go out to play, you must take me and my brother with you."
Yun Ruoxi: "I didn't say I wouldn't take you with me, but I have a lot of things to do at home right now. Are you two sure you don't want to stay and look after me?"
Jamel Xiao shook his head frantically, “No, no, I’ve done everything I should do. I’ve already helped Taohua Village a lot, and I want to go out and play too.”
At this time, Xiao Jingrui walked in from outside, but he was followed by two maids, each holding a food box in their hands.
"Since you are going out, let's go together. I will take care of the affairs in the village. You don't have to worry."
Since the two brothers said so, it would be bad for Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue to look at each other and continue to refuse.
Yun Ruoxi: "A trip for four is also good. Can you discuss if there is any place you want to go?"
Jamel Xiao: “My brother and I are fine, as long as we can go out with you two, it doesn’t matter where we go.”
Mu Ruxue put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Okay, I see you guys want to use this as an excuse to go out and have fun. I thought you were mature and stable and didn't want to go out, but I didn't expect you were all pretending."
Jamel Xiao: "No, my lady has misunderstood me. Where do you want to go? As long as my lady gives an order, my husband will accompany you."
"That's more like it. You have to behave well in the next few days."
Yun Ruoxi and Xiao Jingrui looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
It is said that Mu Ruxue and Xiao Jingxuan are a couple. Their personalities are so compatible, they are simply a pair of bickering lovers.
However, the travel plan of the four of them was interrupted before it was even implemented.
Half an hour later, the four of them looked at Fangcao's family kneeling on the ground, feeling overwhelmed.
Yun Ruoxi looked at Fangcao kneeling on the ground and felt a little surprised. Fangcao, who was so arrogant the last time they met, was now obviously darker than before and no longer had the arrogance she had before.
Village chief Gu sat on the chair in the meeting room, with no intention of protecting Fangcao's family, let alone pleading for them.
Now when I suddenly see Fangcao's family, the only thing I can think of is the humiliation I suffered in the ancestral hall last time. If the Xiao family had not appeared in time, I'm afraid that the village chief's family and some elders of Taohua Village would not be alive today.
Thinking about how I have been working diligently in Taohua Village for so many years, I never expected that I would be treated like an enemy by the Fangcao man.
In fact, the original idea of the village chief, to drive Fangcao's family out of Taohua Village, was also a disguised form of protection.
Unexpectedly, Fangcao's family not only did not appreciate it, but instead held a grudge against the village chief's family.
Previously, the Xiao family had a good relationship with the village chief's family, but now they are not close to anyone in Taohua Village. Everyone knows that this has offended all the Xiao family members.
Just like that, everyone was in a weird atmosphere. Those kneeling on the ground were scared to death, but none of the people sitting at the top spoke first.
Xiao Jingxuan took into consideration that Mu Ruxue was pregnant and was afraid that something might happen and hurt her and the child, so he stood up first and helped her to the back hall.
Seeing someone leaving, Fangcao became anxious, "You are not allowed to leave. Let my man go first."
Yun Ruoxi frowned. She had originally thought that Fangcao had changed after such a long time, but now it seemed that there was no change at all.
Jamel Xiao and Mu Ruxue turned around at the same time, looking at Fangcao's fierce eyes. Mu Ruxue was too lazy to waste time with her and left directly.
Fangcao, who was originally kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up and wanted to chase after Mu Ruxue and pull her arm.
Xiao Jingxuan, who was guarding closely on the side, grabbed her and threw her back with force, and Fangcao flew back to her previous position.
At this time, Xiao Jingrui and Yun Ruoxi stood up and said to the village chief Gu: "Now that the people have been caught, and the village chief has also seen Fangcao, the family still wants to harm us. If we let them go like this, how can we, the Xiao family, sleep peacefully in the future? Putting aside other things, the village chief Gu's family almost died at the hands of Fangcao's men. I wonder how the village chief Gu plans to deal with them?"
The ancient village chief didn't even look at Fangcao's father. He clasped his fists and saluted to Xiao Jingrui who was standing on the upper hand. "Now that things have come to this, Taohua Village will no longer protect Fangcao's family. It is entirely up to the Xiao family to deal with them. Now that there are refugees outside, it will be difficult to hand them over to the government directly. Let's keep them in custody for now and hand them over to the government after the refugees have retreated."
After going through so many things, Village Chief Gu was finally able to see things clearly, and Xiao Jingrui was still very satisfied.
"Since the village chief has agreed, then Fangcao and her family will be detained in the dungeon of the Duke of Ying's mansion. As for the rest, we will hand it over to the authorities after the refugees have dispersed."
Having said that, everyone knows that as long as the person is taken to the dungeon of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion, even if people from the imperial court come, few people dare to ask the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion for the person.
"Just do as Young Master Xiao says. I have no objection, and neither do the other elders in Taohua Village."
When Fangcao's father heard this, he was so angry that his eyes turned red and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he would hit the village chief at any moment.
"Village chief, my family has lived in Taohua Village for so long, and you're going to put us to death just because of this outsider family? Even if you don't remember our past, you should think about how you became the village chief in the first place. If it weren't for my father's crucial vote, the village chief of Taohua Village would be my father instead of you. You are so ungrateful!"
Fangcao's father spoke a lot in one breath, but the ancient village chief was not panicked at all. "If your father wants to be the village chief of Taohua Village, then let him be the village chief. The county magistrate made it clear that the village chief must be literate and have taken the Tongsheng examination. If I remember correctly, your father can't even read a single word. I don't know where your family got the confidence that your father can compete with me for the position of village chief. Putting aside whether your father has met the requirements, let's talk about the voting situation at that time. I guess your family is the only one in the entire Taohua Village who voted for your father. I have the majority of the people in the village to vote. So many years have passed, so don't flatter yourself anymore."
