"Hehe, I knew it! How could my daughter have such audacity? It turns out she was instigated by you, you old hag! You're shameless, Wang Shi. Are you so poor you can't even afford to eat? You went to our Han family to steal things."
"Look at you, eating with your mouth all greasy, aren't you afraid of eating yourself to death?"
"What did I eat? Did I eat your rice or your noodles?"
Wang retorted angrily, unwilling to accept defeat.
"You're saying that whatever your family eats isn't from our family?"
Han Luoxue was getting impatient as the two started arguing again.
Han Yuchen, who had been watching her closely, turned cold upon seeing this. She stepped forward, grabbed Lu Xiaonan by the collar, and asked in a cold voice, "Did you set the fire at the farm?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I have put it there?"
Why would Lu Xiaonan admit it at this point?
"Then you stole the meat from my house, didn't you?"
"No, if you don't believe me, look for it in my house. If you find it, then I'll admit I stole it!"
Lu Xiaonan realized that they had eaten all the meat in their house, not just meat, but also all the steamed buns and other food items. Even if Han Yuchen had a keen eye, he wouldn't have noticed.
"hehe……"
Han Yuchen sneered, his sharp gaze fixed on the bones on the ground. "Then can you tell me what this is?"
"How would I know?"
"Lu Xiaonan, what crime is arson?"
Lu Xiaonan shook her head vigorously, looking aggrieved: "No, it wasn't me, it wasn't me."
He said this with an extremely resolute expression, but unfortunately, the bones on the ground were right there, so who would believe him?
If he admits to stealing, Han Yuchen really can't convict her. After all, there's not much evidence from the farm.
Are you sure you don't want to admit it?
Han Yuchen's tone suddenly softened.
"I didn't do it, why should I admit it?"
Seeing that Lu Xiaonan was still stubbornly denying it, Han Yuchen smiled, suddenly raised his hand, and patted his stomach twice: "Then let's just pretend it's not true."
After saying that, he took two steps back and returned to Han Luoxue's side, and whispered, "Xishu is not very stable, there are battles every few days. Let her go there and stay for a few years."
Everyone was startled by these words.
You have to understand that these days, joining the army and fighting is no small matter, especially during wartime, when those who go out to join the army almost certainly die.
Sending Lu Xiaonan to fight is no different from sending him to his death.
"Han Yuchen, who do you think you are? How dare you offer to send me there!"
Lu Xiaonan was furious when he heard that he was being sent to fight.
They are quite far from Xishu, but some people know what's happening there; many people die there every day.
"hehe……"
Han Yuchen chuckled softly but did not reply.
"Oh, my stomach..."
Lu Xiaonan, who had just been shouting, suddenly clutched his stomach and started rolling on the ground.
Han Jinghua was startled. She rushed forward to help Lu Xiaonan up, but as soon as she touched him, he slapped her hard across the face.
"You hit me?"
Han Jinghua had just been beaten by Old Lady Han, and her face was still burning with pain. Now, she was slapped again, and she looked at Lu Xiaonan in disbelief.
However, Lu Xiaonan was still writhing in pain, and Han Jinghua tried to get close, but couldn't at all.
"Han Yuchen, what did you do to him?" Thinking about how Han Yuchen had patted Lu Xiaonan a few times just now, Han Jinghua felt that Han Yuchen must have done something.
"I just want to know, did you set the fire at the farm?"
Han Yuchen remained indifferent, as if it were none of his business.
"I told you it wasn't us, it wasn't us." Han Jinghua was on the verge of collapse.
"Didn't you also say that you didn't steal the meat and steamed buns from my house?"
Han Yuchen sneered.
Han Yuchen had no proof whether they started the fire at the farm. But Han Jinghua denied anything about the missing items from the house; did she really think everyone was blind?
"I……"
Now Han Jinghua is at a loss. Although she is a little clever, Lu Xiaonan makes all the decisions at home.
"I'll talk!"
Lu Xiaonan was experiencing excruciating pain in her stomach, as if someone was twisting her with a knife. It was the first time she had ever felt such pain.
Lu Xiaonan was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth and shouted, "I took your things, but I didn't start the fire!"
Although he admitted to stealing, who would believe him at this point?
"Fine, if you won't admit it, let's go."
Han Luoxue felt it was pointless. Brother Chen had already said that he would send Lu Xiaonan to Xishu, and that was enough.
As for the fire at the farm, it doesn't matter who started it. She'll just put a few wolfhounds there later and see who dares to shamelessly approach.
The two turned to leave, but Lu Xiaonan mustered all her strength and rushed over, grabbing Han Yuchen's leg tightly with her hands: "Save me!"
"I really didn't start the fire."
Han Yuchen glanced at him indifferently, kicked him hard, mounted his horse, and rode away slowly with Han Luoxue.
After the two men left, Han Qiang glanced at the people from Lu Family Village and said with a gloating smile, "Congratulations!"
After saying this, he led the people of Hutouya Village away in a grand procession.
Before leaving, Old Lady Han spat at the Lu family, saying, "A bunch of thieves."
Only after everyone from Hutouya Village had left did the people from Lujiazhuang come to their senses.
"Village head, what did they mean by what they just said?"
"Could Lu Xiaonan have set fire to our village as well?"
"Village head, with them around in the village, we can't even sleep soundly!"
...
Hearing what everyone was saying, Lu Xiaonan rolled her eyes in anger and finally fainted.
He had no idea what that brat Han Yuchen had done to him, but now his internal organs were in excruciating pain, and he wished he could die immediately.
When Han Luoxue and the others got home, it was already completely dark.
After a long day of work, everyone was exhausted and went to sleep.
The next day, a dog's barking woke Han Luoxue from her deep sleep.
"Snow Girl, Yu Chen."
The old general and the old man got up early and walked around the yard several times with their hands behind their backs.
Hearing the dog barking, they went to the basement and met Han Yuchen and Han Luoxue who had just come in.
Meanwhile, in the basement, Wangcai and Magistrate Zhu were facing off.
"Not bad, it's already solved?"
Seeing that the ropes binding the men had been untied, Han Luoxue sneered.
"Han Luoxue, how dare you detain an official of the imperial court without authorization! When I return, I will surely throw you in jail."
Magistrate Zhu shouted sternly.
"Are you going to throw me in jail?" Looking at the disheveled Magistrate Zhu, Han Luoxue sneered, "I thought you were going to hand me over to the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Zhu's expression changed.
The old man's face darkened. This Magistrate Zhu really wanted to give Han Luoxue to the Crown Prince.
