As the three women with cosmetics fled, the old woman looked at Ruan Meng in horror. The room was now silent, and Ruan Meng was pressing her knuckles together, making a cracking sound.
It's time for her to experience fear!
Ruan Meng walked out of the courtyard and closed the gate behind her.
Ji Qing waited at the corner, as instructed by Ruan Meng, to prevent any future trouble.
Seeing that Ruan Meng was unharmed, Ji Qing was overjoyed. As he approached, he heard Ruan Meng instruct, "Report to the authorities. Go now and ask the magistrate to intervene, citing concerns about Manager Du's safety and Zheng Gou's threats."
Ji Qing couldn't understand. "Miss, these past few days, because Manager Du paid out money, those thugs haven't done anything to Manager Du's family."
"Even if the county government intervenes, they can't do anything to them..."
"drag!"
Ruan Meng uttered a single word calmly, "Just hold them off."
As long as we don't cause any unnecessary complications.
"Will this lead to what happened earlier?"
Ji Qing wasn't worried about himself, but only about causing trouble for Ruan Meng.
Ruan Meng chuckled and raised her chin. "What happened just now? He's offended far too many people. Does Magistrate Deng really not know who he is?"
“Go and report the case. Combine the two cases. He only suffered minor injuries. Magistrate Deng knows him better now.”
"It's not like he's half-dead, so what if we hit him? He deserved it!"
Perhaps Magistrate Deng and his men had long wanted to deal with these hooligans, but they lacked a legitimate reason, and ordinary people were afraid of retaliation and dared not report it to the authorities.
"As for Ji Qing, I can promise you that Zheng Gou won't be able to retaliate against you. But aren't you worried about the other thugs?"
Ji Qing straightened his chest, "As long as it can help Manager Du!"
"Besides, what's wrong with me caring about the shopkeeper? The young lady is right, the county government isn't just for show. I can't guarantee anything if it were any other official, but if it's Magistrate Deng, just because I reported him to the authorities, the Green Dragon Gang wants to retaliate against me..."
"It's impossible for Lord Deng to ignore things!"
With courage and integrity, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished!
Ji Qing felt he gained courage from Ruan Meng.
"Okay! Let's split up. I have something to do at home, so I won't be in the village tomorrow."
“My attire is not suitable for me to stay long. If you want to report to the authorities, follow the procedures and delay them for two days, at the latest by tomorrow night. I will make the arrangements afterwards.”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter at Manager Du's house!"
"With the government involved, you'll have a chance to see Manager Du and his family. Give them a message, and I'll definitely get this done for them!"
Ji Qing was very excited when he heard this. He stuffed Ruan Meng's original clothes into her hands, told her to be careful, and after making sure no one was around, they went their separate ways.
Ruan Meng changed back into her clothes and burned all her equipment, including men's clothing, fake beard, and wig, before returning to Xinglin Hall, where she found Xiao Kai and A Yuan waiting anxiously.
A spacious carriage was parked not far away. Ruan Meng recognized it as Sun Chengen's carriage.
"Miss Meng!"
"Miss Ruan!"
When Xiao Kai and A Yuan saw her, they rushed forward, their faces showing anxiety. It was clear that they were genuinely worried about her.
Xiao Kai said, "Miss, the Third Young Master didn't come because I was here. If something had happened, how could I explain it to everyone?"
A Yuan: "That's right! As soon as Xiao Kai heard what the waiter said, he immediately dropped everything and came over. The young master and I just came back from outside, and when we heard it, we hurriedly followed."
"We were so worried when we heard the girl wasn't here! We were all very concerned about her!"
A Yuan looked towards the carriage. "Miss, the young master has made all the arrangements. Would you like to get in the carriage and have a talk with him?"
Ruan Meng asked, "Are you planning to set off now and go straight to the village?"
Ah Yuan sighed. He'd found the girl; if he hadn't, what was the point of going...?
Xiao Kai replied, "Uncle Liu has retrieved everything and put it in the carriage. I've already arranged a boat. I'm here to find the girl. The carriage is still at the restaurant, and the manager is quite worried."
“If the young lady can leave now, I will go back and let her know I am safe, and then I will ask Uncle Liu to drive the carriage and come with us.”
Ruan Meng nodded, "Please thank Uncle Liu and Manager Yu for me. Xiao Kai, you go back and move the carriage first. I'll fetch the medicinal herbs and put them in your carriage. I've finished my business, you can go back now."
Xiao Kai looked Ruan Meng up and down to make sure she was alright before leaving.
The men were thrilled to see Ruan Meng, but seeing A Yuan there, they dared not make a sound. Receiving a suggestive glance from Ruan Meng, they all rushed over.
Ruan Meng lowered her voice and said a few words, which excited the men.
