Chapter 268: Lady from a Noble Family



We are both women, so why is this woman so heartless?

Xu Lanzhi's eyes flashed with shock, confusion, grief and anger, "You, you, you..."

Xu Niangzi, Yang Dashan and Li Rui all noticed that the other party was angry and felt a little worried.

After all, the other party is the county magistrate's daughter.

They, the common people, had offended her. What if she wanted to retaliate against them?

Li Rui hesitated for a while before speaking, "Yinyin, how about giving this girl a ride?"

Upon hearing this, the resentment on Xu Lanzhi's face disappeared in an instant, and she looked at Li Rui with gratitude.

That pitiful look can indeed easily make a man soften his heart.

Su Yin also understood that the people should not fight against the officials, and looked at the other party with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "We can't take you with us."

Xu Lanzhi heard that her tone was softer than before, and she felt hopeful, so she asked, "Why?"

Su Yin did not respond, but said: "I will bandage you first."

She wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Su Yin.

"Aren't you in pain?"

One sentence successfully made the other person shut up and obey.

Su Yin turned her head to look at Madam Xu, "Mrs. Xu, please help me get the scissors."

Madam Xu took the scissors from the car and some hemostatic drugs and handed them to Su Yin. She took the scissors first and pinched the corner of Xu Lanzhi's clothes.

Xu Lanzhi was a little nervous when she saw her movements. "What are you going to do?"

"Bandage your wound." Su Yin took the scissors and cut off a piece of her clothes.

Madam Xu poured the hemostatic powder on her wound very familiarly, doing it carefully, not because she was afraid that the other person would feel pain, but because she felt sorry for the hemostatic powder.

However, Xu Lanzhi misunderstood and looked at Xu Niangzi with tears in her eyes, which made Xu Niangzi completely confused.

Su Yin's grip tightened, and Xu Lanzhi looked at her with tears in her eyes, silently accusing her of being rude.

Su Yin understood and said calmly, "If you don't tie it tightly, the bleeding won't stop."

Perhaps it was their actions that gave Xu Lanzhi confidence. She asked happily, "I felt you were good people the moment I saw you. You must be willing to take me in, right?"

"No." Su Yin refused again.

"Why?" Xu Lanzhi didn't understand.

"Your identity is unknown. We dare not keep you."

Xu Lanzhi didn't expect her to be so straightforward, and said angrily: "I just said that I am the daughter of the magistrate of Linyuan County, and I have shown you my jade pendant."

Su Yin shook her head. "The jade pendant doesn't mean you are the daughter of Linyuan County. If you don't have a better reason or evidence to prove that you are the daughter of the magistrate of Linyuan County, we will not take you in."

In a nutshell, I won't take you in.

She changed the subject and said, "If you can prove that you are the daughter of the magistrate of Linyuan County, we can consider taking you in."

Before she could speak, Su Yin continued, "It's not that we don't want to, but we have seen too many scammers along the way and we have to be on guard. So, please, Ms. Xu, come up with more favorable evidence to convince us."

"This, this..." For a moment Xu Lanzhi didn't know what to say.

In short, it’s not that we don’t want to take you in, it’s that you’ve been cheated and we dare not take you in. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being able to prove your identity, or blame the fact that there are too many scammers on the road.

Yang Dashan spoke at the right time, "Ms. Xu, please think about it carefully."

Madam Xu and Li Rui also reacted and urged her to remember, with an attitude of "you will be sorry for us if you can't remember".

Xu Lanzhi bit her lower lip lightly, frowned, and thought hard, but after a long while she couldn't come up with any useful information.

"I, I, I... woooo, I didn't." Xu Lanzhi sobbed tenderly, "I'm so useless that I can't even think of it."

Seeing that she understood self-reflection, Su Yin nodded with satisfaction.

Is that right? It's your fault, not theirs for not taking you in.

Su Yin winked at Madam Xu, who understood what was going on. She stepped forward and gently patted her back, saying in a soft voice, "Don't cry, don't cry."

With the comfort of Madam Xu, Xu Lanzhi finally stopped crying. She raised her head and looked at Su Yin and the others with tearful eyes.

"That group of bandits will definitely chase after me. If I go out alone, I will definitely be captured by them again. What should I do?" Xu Lanzhi looked at the four people helplessly.

Su Yin didn't say anything, but Li Rui said first: "You might as well try other teams, maybe they are willing to take you in."

Xu Lanzhi had no better idea and could only nod.

Yang Dashan reminded him, "When you ask someone to take you in, it's best to offer them a certain amount of compensation. This will make it easier for them to agree to your request."

Xu Lanzhi clenched the jade pendant in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and nodded to the four people, "Okay."

As soon as she left, Madam Xu couldn't help but ask, "Yinyin, do you think she is the daughter of the magistrate of Linyuan County?"

Su Yin shook her head, "I'm not sure, but what is certain is that she is not ordinary."

"Yinyin, how do you judge that?" Madam Xu was very curious.

"The brocade she was wearing was made of material I have never seen better in the cloth shop. Her hands were delicate, white and soft, and she looked like a lady from a wealthy family who had never done any work. The jade pendant she was wearing also looked good, and I think it was worth a lot of money."

Li Rui said, "Listening to what you said, I feel like she didn't lie."

The other two felt the same way.

"Who knows!" Su Yin shrugged. "Whether she is the daughter of the magistrate of Linyuan County or not, let's not get involved. If something goes wrong, she might blame us for not taking good care of her."

The three of them nodded in agreement.

After this little incident, nothing happened in the second half of the night.

The next morning, they all started doing boxing exercises as usual. After Su Yin did two sets of boxing, her mother called her over to have breakfast.

Simple millet porridge without any side dishes.

While Su Yin was eating, she noticed a vague gaze looking in her direction. She looked up and saw Xu Lanzhi in the camp next door, staring at their direction with a resentful look on her face.

It seems that Xu Lanzhi was taken in by the team next door.

Xu Lanzhi and Su Yin's eyes met, and Su Yin smiled at her.

Xu Lanzhi's resentful eyes suddenly froze, and she silently withdrew her gaze and ate the tasteless dry biscuits.

Su Baozhu noticed it and asked curiously, "Yinyin, do you know that person?"

Su Yin recounted what happened last night, and after she finished listening, she smacked her lips.

"Yinyin, if we take her in, won't we be able to establish a relationship with a county magistrate?" Su Baozhu said excitedly.

Su Yin shook her head. "It's not that simple. You want the county magistrate to owe us a favor, but it's not that easy."

It's not an equal relationship, but just based on this little favor, the other party will directly give you some money to repay the favor.

If you go too far, we will let our servants say thank you and send you away.
