Chapter 307 Get off this lady!
The group continued to move forward, and after about half an hour, they finally arrived in Yancheng.
The people on the street saw them from afar and moved away, their eyes full of fear.
Lan Xiyue frowned, wondering to herself, "How could the people here be so afraid of this official?" It seemed this person must have committed many evil deeds and oppressed the people for so long that they were so afraid of him.
Soon, the group arrived at the county government office.
Liang Guo got off the carriage, his eyes wandering over Lan Xiyue, a lewd smile on his lips, "What's your name, young lady?"
Lan Xiyue jumped off the horse and put Niuniu on the ground. She looked at Liang Guo indifferently, with a bit of disdain and indifference in her tone, "You are not worthy of the title of aunt."
Liang Guo sneered, a lustful glint flashing in her eyes. She thought to herself, "Hmph, let's see if you can still be so stubborn under me later!" Thinking of this, she flung her sleeves into the county government office and ordered, "Take this woman to the backyard!"
Upon hearing this, the two yamen runners' eyes flashed with a hint of vulgarity and greed. They looked at each other, as if they saw a certain tacit understanding and expectation in each other's eyes... However, they didn't know that their good days were about to end.
Lan Xiyue held Niuniu's hand and walked into the county government office as if no one was around.
The yamen runners' gazes lingered on them for a moment, one of them curled up the corner of his mouth with a sneer, and then led them to the backyard.
They happened to meet Liang Guo’s original wife, Tan Lin. The two yamen runners thought something was wrong. Why was the lady here at this time?
Tan Lin's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and when his gaze fell on Lan Xiyue, the fire of jealousy almost burst out.
"Where did this fairy come from? Good brother Liang Guo, he brought a fairy back again."
The two yamen runners looked at each other, bowed, stood aside, and lowered their heads. Usually, the women that the master had played with were given to them as rewards, but they did not expect to meet the lady today.
Seeing this, the maidservant beside her quickly agreed, "Madam, this woman looks like a foxy creature. She might have been brought out from a brothel by the master. Madam, there's no need to worry about such a seductress. You have two young ladies and the eldest young master. She's just a beautiful woman. She can't threaten your position."
Hearing this, Tan Lin curled up the corner of his mouth into a cold smile, and scanned Lan Xiyue with a sharp gaze, waving his hand, "You retreat!"
The two yamen runners responded and retreated helplessly.
Tan Lin slowly walked to the stone table and sat down, sizing up Lan Xiyue with cold eyes, her tone as cold as ice: "Kneel down!"
Upon hearing this, Niu Niu shrank her neck in fear and snuggled up to Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue gently stroked Niuniu's neck and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, Niuniu."
Then, she raised her head and looked indifferently at the old woman opposite her, a disdainful smile on her lips: "Who do you think you are? If I tell you to kneel, I'll kneel."
Upon hearing this, the maidservant beside her flew into a rage. She pointed at Lan Xiyue and shouted, "How dare you! This is our county magistrate's wife. How dare you speak to her like that?"
Lan Xiyue's eyes flashed, and she let go of Niuniu's hand. She flashed like a ghost and instantly appeared in front of the maid. She grabbed the maid's index finger that was pointing at her and twisted it gently. With a "crack", the maid's index finger was twisted off.
The maid screamed in pain and squatted on the ground. Her hands trembled uncontrollably and tears flowed like beads from a broken string.
Tan Lin's face darkened. She glared at Lan Xiyue, "This is outrageous! You even dared to hit my maid."
Just then, Liang Shanshan and Liang Qiqi staggered in, supported by their maids.
"mother……"
Tan Lin's eyes softened instantly. She quickly stood up and walked over to them, her voice choking with sobs: "Oh, my dearest ones, you two are finally back. I was so scared. Where have you been?"
Liang Shanshan took Tan Lin's hand off her shoulder, and tears rolled down like beads from a broken string.
She choked and said, "Mom, it hurts..." Her voice was full of pain and grievance, which made people feel sad.
Tan Lin's heart suddenly tightened. She looked at Liang Shanshan, her eyes full of heartache: "Shanshan, where does it hurt? What happened?"
Liang Shanshan told Tan Lin everything that had happened in the past two days in a trembling voice.
It turned out that they had been tied up in the mountains by Gu Xiao's eldest brother, Gu Yong. For the past two days, Gu Yong had been whipping them non-stop, leaving them covered in shocking marks. Even after returning, they dared not wash themselves in water, and simply changed their clothes.
Upon hearing this, Tan Lin's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with disbelief and anger. She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.
"Asshole!"
Liang Qiqi, who was standing by, also burst into tears. She sobbed and said, "Mom, my sister and I are covered in whip wounds. It hurts so much."
Tan Lin's eyes instantly blazed with fury. Her face was ashen, and her lips trembled slightly. She gritted her teeth, squeezing out a few words: "He's such a rough fellow, and he dared to hit my daughter! I'm going to kill him! Have you called a doctor?"
Seeing this, the maidservant beside her lowered her head and whispered, "Madam, the master will arrange for someone to call the doctor when he comes back."
Upon hearing this, Tan Lin's expression eased slightly, but the anger in her eyes did not diminish at all. The most important thing now was to treat her daughters' injuries first, and then settle the score with Gu Yong.
Tan Lin glanced sharply at the maids around her, "Why are you still standing there like idiots? Hurry and help the two young ladies back to their rooms to rest."
Liang Shanshan, who was usually spoiled, had a fierce look in her eyes at this moment. She stared at Lan Xiyue who was standing not far away, as if she wanted to eat her alive: "Mom, don't let this bitch go, this bitch is not a good thing!" Before she finished speaking, Liang Shanshan was suddenly slapped in the face by a loud slap.
"Ah!" A scream echoed in the backyard. Liang Shanshan covered her face with her hands, a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
Madam Tan Lin was also furious. She glared at Lan Xiyue, her voice as cold as ice: "Well, you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me! Come, capture her and give me fifty slaps!"
Seeing this, Liang Shanshan's anger grew even stronger. She screamed, "Mom, kill her! Kill her!"
Tan Lin patted Liang Shanshan's back gently, her eyes full of doting and determination: "Shanshan, don't worry, mother will not let her go, and will definitely help you vent your anger."
Upon hearing this, several maids immediately rushed towards Lan Xiyue.
Lan Xiyue held Niu Niu in her arms, and with a light flash of her body, she jumped directly onto a big tree beside her. She looked at the people under the tree coldly.
The maids were stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes. How did this person climb up the tree? They couldn't see clearly at first.
Madam Tan Lin was also stunned. She looked up at Lan Xiyue on the treetop and shouted angrily, "Get down here!"
