For example, they could find Ye Lingyu's information, address, and all her registered properties.
The carriage she rode in could be described as luxurious. Not only were the horses adorned with gold ornaments, but the carriage itself was also inlaid with gold and jade.
With servants and officials following along, anyone who didn't know better would really think that some official's wife had come.
Although Ye Lingxi and Ye Lingyu are sisters, they both look like their mother, so they don't look like they are from the same family at all.
Ye Lingxi's carriage stopped directly in front of Ye Lingyu's house.
She casually glanced around Ye Lingyu's house and said disdainfully, "Ha, my dear sister. After leaving the Ye family, you're only fit to live in a place like this."
Fugui seemed to know that the visitors were up to no good. As soon as they approached, Fugui started barking at the people standing at the door.
"Men, chop this barking bastard down!"
"Like attracts like." Ye Lingxi ordered Fugui to be beheaded, and kept her eyes fixed on Ye Lingyu the whole time.
She wanted to see Ye Lingyu's reaction; she wanted to see Ye Lingyu's panicked expression when she saw her arrive with the officials.
But she didn't see it.
Ye Lingyu looked at her indifferently the whole time, as if she were looking at an insignificant person.
The servants obeyed and stepped forward to kill Fugui, who was only two or three months old and could not withstand even a kick.
If that knife lands, I'll really be going to meet the King of Hell.
Cheng Qingyan hurriedly called out, "Fugui, come back!"
Fu Gui, who had been baring his teeth and roaring at the servant, retreated upon hearing his master's summons.
Upon seeing Cheng Qingyan, Ye Lingxi reacted as if she had seen something filthy, and cursed at the servant, "You lowly slave! Didn't you hear what I said? Chop that dog down!"
Ye Lingyu stepped forward, her tone indifferent: "The daughter-in-law of a dignified county magistrate, the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, dares to come to my poor, dilapidated home to show off her power?"
She then chuckled and said disdainfully to Ye Lingxi, "What else can you do besides act tough? You haven't improved at all over the years."
What annoyed Ye Lingxi the most was Ye Lingyu looking at her with such disdain. Why should a concubine's daughter compete with her, a legitimate daughter, for her father?
Before, when she was in the Ye family, she pretended to be very nice to Ye Lingyu, but now that Ye Lingyu has married into this wretched place, she has married into the county magistrate's family.
How dare she, a mere village woman, look down on me like this!
She was seething with hatred and said to Constable Nie, "The thieves at the Ye family's villa are these two. Constable Nie, why don't you arrest them immediately!"
Head Constable Nie, whose real name is Nie Yilin, is the head constable of the county government in Yuanning County.
When Ye Lingxi summoned him this time, the county magistrate also instructed him to handle this matter well.
As for what it was, they all knew.
Ye Zongzhi filed a complaint with the county government, saying that someone had kidnapped a very important old friend of their family.
Nie Yilin and the other constables were unaware of just how important this was; only Ye Zongzhi, the county magistrate, and Ye Lingxi knew.
Ye Zongzhi did not come with Ye Lingxi this time, and did not even ask about Ye Lingyu.
Therefore, this time, their group followed Ye Lingxi's lead without question.
Several constables gripped the swords at their waists and slowly approached Cheng Qingyan and her group's courtyard.
Ye Lingxi also looked at Ye Lingyu and Cheng Qingyan with a vicious glint in her eyes and a smile on her lips.
Soon, soon Ye Lingyu will be a prisoner.
As long as we capture Ye Lingyu and the others this time, we will never let them leave the county jail again!
She brought six yamen runners, ten servants, and four maids; her trip this time was quite grand.
Anyone who didn't know better would think the county magistrate was in the carriage, but the carriage was indeed a bit too ostentatious.
With so many people, wouldn't Ye Lingyu and her useless husband be able to handle it easily?
As soon as Nie Yilin and his group approached, Fugui took a bite.
Ye Lingyu stretched out her arm and blocked Cheng Qingyan behind her.
"Now you leave, and I'll pretend you were never here. From this day forward, I sever all ties with the Ye family."
Ye Lingxi scoffed, "What are you pretending for? What time is it, Ye Lingyu, and you're still pretending?"
"Your mother is shameless, and you're no better! You've severed ties with the Ye family, do you even deserve it?"
Cheng Qingyan pulled Ye Lingyu aside, coldly glancing at Ye Lingxi: "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to my wife like that? Do you deserve it?"
Ye Lingxi gripped the carriage frame tightly. She was already angry because she didn't see the timidity in Ye Lingyu's eyes as she had hoped. She hadn't expected that her silly husband, Ye Lingyu, was also not very bright.
Nobody takes her seriously, so in the end, she just becomes a clown.
They all live in this poor, dilapidated mountain village. Why can't they look at her with envy and longing, just like the other villagers?
She practically begged for this opportunity to personally arrest Ye Lingyu, so why is Ye Lingyu so calm and collected even when surrounded by so many people?
She absolutely hated it!
From a young age, Ye Lingyu had always been at odds with her. In order to deceive Ye Zongzhi into showing her affection, she deliberately acted very close to Ye Lingyu.
This pretense has lasted for decades!
Finally, Ye Lingyu's mother passed away, and she ostracized Ye Lingyu. Ye Zongzhi also became much closer to her after a long time.
Why, why can't Ye Lingyu just hide away and live a peaceful life instead of provoking her again?
She wants to go back to the Ye family? Dream on!
If we can't take the person away today, then let's kill them!
Her fingernails left scratches on the carriage frame as Ye Lingxi glared resentfully at Ye Lingyu: "The magistrate has ordered that the two who robbed the Ye family's villa be brought back to the county office for trial. Anyone who resists will be executed on the spot!"
These words did not frighten Ye Lingyu and Cheng Qingyan. Cheng Qingyan remained firmly in front of Ye Lingyu, saying, "Ye Lingxi, do you know what you look like?"
"Ha, you're like a big, wagging hen. You think that just because you brought people from the county government here and said we robbed your family, we have to confess?"
"Do you have any evidence? Who do you think you are? Just a pet dog in the magistrate's household?"
“My wife has suffered so much over the years. She never wanted to take revenge on you or the Ye family, but you came to me of your own accord.”
"So what if the county constables are here? Even if your father came today, it wouldn't make a difference."
"Anyone who dares to approach my wife today shall die!"
She should be able to handle these dozen or so people.
In a little while, reinforcements might arrive.
When Ye Lingxi arrived, she had already delivered the message to Jiang Jiang.
Judging by the timeline, it should be soon.
Ye Lingxi was so angry that her face was contorted, but she still maintained her fake persona.
She must maintain the demeanor of a well-bred lady and the daughter-in-law of a county magistrate.
But her heaving chest and venomous gaze couldn't lie; at that moment, she wished she could gouge out Cheng Qingyan's eyes.
