Chapter 259 Chapter 258 Shan Yongzhen was forced to take the blame

Feng Yuxiu woke up on their way back to Beijing.

Although it was these bastards who insisted on following him, An Xin was the one who brought them to the mountain after all, so he still personally sent them back to the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion.

And apologized to Xuanping Hou and his wife.

After Feng Lingyun explained the matter to her parents, if the marquis' wife hadn't seen that her son was injured, she would have wanted to beat him again with a stick.

Others were afraid of danger and didn't take him with them, but he insisted on going with them.

"You dared to disobey after entering the mountains. You deserved it, if not just getting hurt, or being eaten by wild beasts."

“…”

Feng Yuxiu, lying on the bed, felt like he was not a biological child.

An Xin was in a very bad mood and was irritated. He smiled coldly.

Dan Yongzhen and the others' hearts were beating wildly. During this period, these little brats, who had a basic understanding of An Xin, their teacher and the chief priest, subconsciously wanted to slip away.

"Stop!" a light and clear voice.

A group of people stopped at the door of Feng Yuxiu's room as if they had pressed the pause button.

Shan Yongzhen lifted one foot as if to step out of the threshold and performed the "One-legged Stand" for everyone.

An Xin waited until Shan Yongzhen's legs were shaking and he was about to fall before he spoke: "Since you are so energetic, chasing prey in the mountains will be no problem.

Let me tell you a secret, in Cuju, you are not allowed to use your hands, but you are not allowed to use your head.

When you go back, practice your iron head skills when you have time, and use your head to head the ball into the goal you set up.

I will check after the New Year. If you can score eight goals out of ten, you will pass. Otherwise... hehe..."

Seeing An Xin's sinister smile, everyone shrank their heads in fear and looked at the culprits with resentful eyes.

An Xin was warmly invited by the wife of Marquis Xuanping to go out for tea and chat.

“Ahhh—”

Amidst the angry roars, Shan Yongzhen ran out of the room with his head in his hands.

Everyone said in unison: "Don't run, if it weren't for you, would we be punished by the devil together?"

"It's not like I was the only one chasing the deer." Shan Yongzhen shirked the blame: "It's immoral for you to gang up on me."

"It's almost the New Year, and you guys are still causing trouble for me. I have to practice soccer. You are immoral." Kun Rui grabbed Shan Yongzhen's clothes and asked disdainfully, "One is lying on the bed like a corpse, and the other is a girl. Who do you think we should vent our anger on?"

Feng Yuxiu, who was treated as a corpse, silently pulled up the quilt to cover his head and diligently fulfilled his duty as a corpse.

Gongsun Lanyue, who had also implicated everyone because of her recklessness, shrank her neck and wondered whether she should go and share some of the resentment of the crowd on behalf of Shan Yongzhen, who had to bear it alone.

Chen Runzhi patted her shoulder and said, "That boy is very cunning, he deserves this beating. If he hadn't given us advice, we wouldn't have sent people to guard the door of the headmaster's house.

If we don’t arrange for someone to guard it, we won’t know when the headmaster will go out hunting, and we won’t follow him.

If we hadn’t followed, what happened later wouldn’t have happened, and she wouldn’t have apologized for it, and that would have been it…”

"This is all my fault." Shan Yongzhen held his head and shouted, "You praised me for being smart at that time.

Now you are putting the blame on me alone. How can you be so unreasonable?"

Chen Runzhi scratched her ears and said, "Reasonably, is that something a woman should do?!"

Gongsun Lanyue gave Chen Runzhi a thumbs up and said, "In terms of shamelessness, I have always been learning from you, but I have never surpassed you."

Chen Runzhi was once the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Earl's Mansion. Gongsun Lanyue and Feng Lingyun had known her since childhood. There were only so many noble ladies in the capital, and only a few of them loved playing Cuju, so they started playing together very early.

Although Chen Runzhi usually looks delicate and nice, they all know that when this guy becomes shameless, no one else can do anything about it.

When An Xin saw that the Marquis' Mansion had invited the imperial physician to examine him, he realized that Feng Yuxiu only needed to take some medicine and rest for a period of time and he would be fine.

So he politely declined their invitation to dinner and left.

After coming back, he saw Zheng Xiaoling who had been following him, and then he whispered something to her.

The little girl's eyes sparkled, and a few days later she followed the people sent by An Xin to the government office that governed the village.

They were provided with some evidence of the crimes committed by the village chief, the father of Zheng Xiaoling's vicious second aunt, who was bullying the people in the village.

The most important point is that he once forced someone to death in the village.

When government officials came to the village, took away the old village chief who was nearly sixty years old, and appointed a new village chief who was beyond their expectations, the people of the entire small mountain village were in an uproar.

Because the newly appointed village head was the brother of the man who was forced to death by Aunt Zheng's father, and the two families had a feud.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Needless to say, Aunt Zheng and the village chief's family who live in this village will have to pay a lot of taxes and labor service every year.

What the villagers fear most are high taxes and heavy corvee labor. These two things can crush a family. You can imagine what kind of life Aunt Zheng's family will have to live in the future.

Poverty is the inevitable outcome.

This is what An Xin told Zheng Xiaoling, the person will not die, but he will definitely suffer a lot in life.

Aunt Zheng's family are all lazy. Over the years, the good farmland has turned into bad land, and the harvest was not much to begin with.

As a village head, there are many ways to collect more taxes. This way, his family might even have trouble making ends meet every year, and corvee labor is a tiring job.

Neither his heartless second uncle nor his idle, wretched and incompetent son were strong people.

I'm afraid that even if they don't die of exhaustion, it will cost them half their lives.

For Zheng Xiaoling, who had promised her father not to kill her second uncle's family and to avenge them, it was a good idea to let them suffer like this.

Zheng Xiaoling was very grateful to An Xin for avenging her. The key to making life difficult for her second uncle's family was the newly appointed head of the village.

If it weren't for An Xin, she would never have been able to do it on her own.

When An Xin saw Zheng Xiaoling kneeling in front of her and about to sign a contract to sell herself to be her servant, she was a little amused and helpless.

"There are many ways to repay someone, but you don't have to do this," An Xin said sincerely, "and you were the first one to save my people, so I will help you. I can't say I'm doing you a favor."

Zheng Xiaoling has been living in the backyard these days.

Because except for a few men in the front yard of the An Mansion, who were surprised when they first saw the scar on her face, they treated her like an ordinary person when they saw her afterwards.

There is also Qingfeng, who is becoming more and more daring following his master An Xin, and the lady in charge of the front yard. Mingyue is not afraid of her ugly face.

When other people saw her, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.

This made Zheng Xiaoling, who didn't want to go back to the mountains to live alone again, afraid that An Xin would drive her away.

An Xin saw what she was thinking, walked over and pulled her up, thought for a moment and said, "Just stay with me from now on."
