Sang Rou, standing behind him, stared in disbelief at Ling Ce's retreating figure.
Today marks the first time in many years that the master has mocked her background!
He used to feel sorry for her because of her humble background, so what happened?
"Mother, Mother, what's wrong with Father? Has he found a young and beautiful woman outside?" Ling Qiang staggered to his feet and looked at his mother in a panic.
His answer was so good, perfectly in line with the behavior of the head of the Ling family, but instead of praising or acknowledging him, his father abandoned them without a second thought.
The words he spoke before leaving clearly indicated that he intended to hand over the Ling family to Ling Ran.
Sang Rou gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Impossible. It's not like there weren't beautiful maids who tried to climb into my bed before. Your father isn't a lustful man."
It must be this tiny village that's cursed upon her!
First she saved Ling Ran, and then she protected Ling Ran for so long. No wonder her people couldn't find Ling Ran no matter how hard they looked.
Finally, there was some commotion. The master came only to catch a bandit. He originally thought that it would be easier to take action if he brought Ling Ran back under her nose. Unexpectedly, the master changed his mind because Ling Ran was not brought back.
Why did the master's attitude change so completely after just one trip to Shanshui Village?
She said to her disheveled son, "Qiang'er, this place is bad luck for us."
Ling Qiang looked blankly at his mother, who had never believed in such things.
Sang Rou immediately corrected, "It's not this place, it's that woman. I really underestimated her! You must be on your guard when you're about to face her."
If rescuing and taking in Ling Ran was a coincidence, then having Ling Ran appear at the time when the atmosphere of family reunion during the ancestral worship ceremony was the most intense, and stirring up the old man's love for his son, was a well-planned and deliberate scheme!
The woman was probably the one who lured the master here and changed his mind.
Ling Qiang shuddered and replied, "Mother, I understand."
Sang Rou was afraid of putting too much pressure on her son, so she comforted him: "It's okay. Your father and I have a friendship of more than 30 years. It won't be easily broken by anyone. I'll use my skills later and I'll definitely make your father change his mind."
"Yeah, I knew Mom was the best. We can't let her get away with this later!" Ling Qiang smirked, accidentally tugging at the corner of his mouth where he'd been punched, wincing in pain.

Shui Qing watched Ling Ce arrive first, and then saw Sang Rou smoothing her hair and supporting Ling Qiang as they followed behind Ling Ce. She couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Is the governor here to stand up for those two?" Aunt Li muttered.
Fan Xiaoliu snorted: "At worst, let those two fight back. Anyway, they won't admit they're wrong, and we're not wrong either!"
“You guys stay behind us. We men are tough and can take a beating,” Wu Gousheng said, turning to the woman behind him.
As the saying goes, "You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog." Since they beat the governor's family, it's normal that they were beaten back.
"Done!" the men replied loudly and crisply.
Shuiqing had already thought of treating the women and men in the village to a big meal as a reward for their hard work. After hearing what the men said just now, she had only one thought in her mind: to have an extra meal!
Slaughter pigs and sheep, lots and lots of meat, let them all eat their fill!
Although she didn't think Ling Ce was there to fight back, the attitude of the villagers was more important than anything else.
