Qiu Huihui glanced at the man beside her, tilted her head back, and said, "So, of course we have to pay compensation?"
She didn't come earlier, but only now, just to show off her fiancé to Qiu Yan.
By the way, it's a chance to vent my anger.
I heard that Qiu Yan found a soldier, but she thinks that her current fiancé is much better than that soldier.
Her fiancé was tall and strong, with a muscular build, and most importantly, he worked under the county constable, holding a public office.
Qiu Huihui's so-called fiancé hadn't said a word since he arrived, only staring intently at Qiu Yan in front of him, lost in thought.
This girl looks very familiar; it's like I've seen her somewhere before.
Seeing that Qiu Huihui's visit was ill-intentioned, Zhao Jun and Zhao Zheng stood up at the same time and stood beside Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan is now their employer, and they must protect her when necessary.
Qiu Huihui noticed that her fiancé had pretended to be mute as soon as he arrived, assuming that he had chickened out because there were too many of them.
At this moment, she noticed that the man's eyes were fixed on Qiu Yan, and her jealousy intensified.
Just as she was about to lose her temper, she heard hurried footsteps outside the courtyard gate, followed by a noisy discussion:
"It seems like a big shot has arrived in the village..."
"Let's go take a look..."
Hearing the shouts at the door, Qiu Yan ignored Qiu Huihui and went straight out of the yard with the two people beside her.
Qiu Huihui glared angrily at the man beside her, then stared intently into the distance.
Looking into the distance, there's nothing there.
I have no idea what these people are looking at.
"Cousin." Suddenly, two voices rang out, and Ling Qi and Ling Ba appeared in a flash, standing on either side of Qiu Yan.
At the same time, they looked at the woman who was trying to cause trouble with hostility.
Qiu Huihui frowned, noticing that all the men were surrounding Qiu Yan. She angrily flicked her sleeves.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard the clatter of horses' hooves in the distance, accompanied by the rumble of wheels.
This Lingnan Village is a poor and remote place. What important person would come to their village?
Qiu Yan thought for a long time, but besides Gu Qian, she couldn't think of anyone else.
However, judging from the sounds, she knew there was more than one carriage. And Gu Qian was always low-key.
Qiu Huihui sneered, "Oh, I see, Qiu Yan, you must have offended someone in Baiyang County."
"Whether it is or not, it's obvious at a glance." Qiu Yan said coldly, and a line of carriages appeared one after another behind hers.
The man beside Qiu Huihui glanced into the distance, and upon recognizing the person approaching, he froze.
"Why is the county magistrate here?" Moreover, the county magistrate, who was usually seen as a high and mighty figure, had actually humbled himself to the position of... a foot soldier.
Indeed, at this moment, County Commandant Zheng and one of his subordinates were walking side by side with the carriage.
Could it be that their superiors have arrived? The man thought to himself, and just as he was about to quietly squeeze into the crowd, Qiu Huihui grabbed his sleeve.
"We haven't seen the excitement yet, don't rush off." Qiu Huihui's face was full of sarcasm as she asked the man beside her, "What are you officials usually doing when you're out on missions?"
"Of course, it's about eliminating violence and maintaining public order."
Qiu Huihui sneered. She knew that Qiu Yan was now prickly and it was no wonder that she could offend people.
Last year, Qiu Huihui heard someone say that Qiu Yan had apparently offended a butcher in Baiyang County, and that man was constantly causing her trouble.
She gloated over this for quite some time.
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. The sneer on her face grew stronger and stronger, and then it turned into... a look of jealousy.
