Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The woman's words gradually spread, and the villagers' discussions became louder and louder.

Liu Xu raised her eyes to look at Widow Liu, and just saw that her eyes flickered a little, as if she was afraid of being noticed by others, so she quickly buried her head and cried.

She was slightly startled. Could this woman really...

Liu Dahai didn't think much about what people were saying, he just thought it was women gossiping.

"Quiet! Quiet!" the old man shouted.

"Lord Xu, how about this? I'll leave Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wang to you. But these two children are still young. Could you please show some mercy? Especially Laibao, he is the only child of his father..." Liu Dashan's old face flushed, and it was unclear whether he was angry or ashamed.

Originally, the whole family was happy during the New Year, but these useless guys ruined the year.

"Hey, Village Chief Liu, why don't you check what your people are talking about first?"

Xu Mingli also heard the discussions, and like Liu Dahai, he initially thought it was just women talking nonsense, until Liu Xu suddenly grabbed him and whispered in his ear what she had just discovered.

If this is true... then this woman is really too vicious.

"Ah?" Liu Dahai didn't react for a moment.

Xu Mingli said: "There is no smoke without fire! If this is really the case... then I'm afraid I can't let this matter go."

As he finished speaking, more and more voices of doubt emerged.

Considering that it was still the New Year, Xu Mingli said, "But today is the New Year, so let's lock these people up first and wait for the county government to issue the seal before sending them to the government office."

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir!" Liu Dahai thanked him repeatedly.

If Xu Mingli insisted on sending him to the government office now, no matter what the final result was, Liujia Village would become a laughing stock in the surrounding area. After all, sending an official to the government office on New Year's Eve was unheard of.

"I hope you don't misunderstand me as taking advantage of my power to bully others! The children are injured, so we will take them back and apply medicine to them. As for these people, I hope you can keep a close eye on them. Goodbye!" After saying that, Xu Mingli took the Xu family's people and left first.

Things have come to this point, and it is really not suitable for them to stay any longer.

The people from Liujia Village stayed behind temporarily. Liu Dahai had everyone tied up, including Wang Wu.

Originally, Old Lady Zhou was also going to be tied up, but Liu Jizong's father knelt down and begged the clan leader and Xu Ruolan and her daughter to take the punishment for his mother.

Liu Xu decided to let them go because Mrs. Zhou and her grandchildren didn't say anything excessive. However, Liu Jizong was asked by his father to kneel in the ancestral hall for one night.

But Mrs. Zhang felt that this was too easy for them, and she scolded Mrs. Zhou harshly.

Liu Dahai: "Okay, let's lock these people up in the side room first, and then everyone can go back and come back on the sixth day in the morning."

The villagers gradually dispersed, and the ancestral hall was silent. Liu Jizong knelt obediently in the ancestral hall, and the other two pairs of mothers and children were locked up in the side rooms.

The women in the village were heavy-handed. They tied the man up tightly, gagged him and threw him on the ground. Although the ancestral hall was clean, it was a little cold because no one lived there. Liu Laibao whimpered with fear on her face and crawled on the ground to her mother.

It was just because when he got closer, Liu Hehua smelled a foul odor. Obviously, he was really scared to the point of urinary incontinence.

I don’t know if the kidnappers did it on purpose or if it was because it was winter and the clothes were thick so I couldn’t see it.

Liu Hehua looked at her own son with some disdain, but in her heart she was thinking about how to get out of this situation.

With Xu Mingli's reminder, Liu Dahai will definitely take it seriously. Although she doesn't know whether it can be found out after so many years, she doesn't dare to gamble.

Liu Hehua was someone Liu Wulang met while working in the county town. It was said that she was once a maid in a wealthy family. Unable to bear the harsh treatment of her master, she found an opportunity to escape. She hid in the county town and met Liu Wulang by chance.

Liu Wulang was touched by her tenacious yet fragile appearance and felt pity for her. After less than half a month of getting along, Liu Hehua asked Liu Wulang to take her home, saying that she was afraid of being caught by her master, and the two soon became husband and wife.

She got pregnant in the same month of marriage, and Liu Wulang felt very sorry for her. Liu Hehua was also filial. Liu Wulang's father died early, and his mother Chen was so heartbroken that she cried and went blind. Liu Hehua not only did not despise her, but also took good care of her mother.

When Liu Hehua was seven months pregnant, she fell to the ground while helping an old lady fetch water and wipe her body, resulting in the premature birth of Liu Laibao.

Liu Wulang and his mother loved Liu Hehua even more because she gave them a new baby. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. When Liu Laibao was a little over one year old, Liu Wulang suddenly fell ill and soon passed away, leaving the orphan, widow and mother-in-law to depend on each other.

But Liu Hehua knew in her heart that, just as the lady had guessed before, Liu Laibao was not Liu Wulang's son. Because he looked like Liu Hehua, this truth had not been discovered over the years, except... her deceased husband Liu Wulang.

At first, she thought that they were all peasants and her methods were not very sophisticated. If they really wanted to investigate, it would be easy to find out. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Wang Wu, who was not far away, looked at Liu Hehua with hatred. She felt that she was wronged. It was all Liu Hehua and her useless son's fault. Otherwise, why would they be here?

If looks could kill, Liu Hehua would have been torn into pieces. But Liu Hehua was busy thinking about something and didn't notice her at all, or even if she did, she wouldn't take her seriously.

Everyone in the Liu Family Ancestral Hall didn't know that at this moment Liu Xu and his mother were supporting the old woman Zhang who had been so brave just now, Liu Dashan who had fallen behind them, and Liu Ming and his wife who were holding their child.

The old woman walked away, cursing and scolding Liu Xu and her mother: "Look at you two, you are being bullied to the point of being bullied, and you still want to keep quiet? If you two hadn't stopped me just now, I would have scratched that Wu and old lady Zhou to death."

"Where is your ability to go against me in the past? If they are so evil-minded, I will just beat them up and make them avoid you next time they see you! Let's see if they can still be so mean!"

"Grandma, please don't be angry. It's not good for your health. And just now, before I could do anything, you rushed out..."

This was true, but unfortunately she was two minutes late. Liu Hehua had already been shocked by her grandmother, and was scratched and had bruises all over her face, which made her dumbfounded.

"Next time you meet someone like this, just go up and beat him up. We are right, so what do we have to be afraid of?" Mrs. Zhang warned.

Willow Catkins: Can’t you hope for something good from me?

As for Xu Ruolan, she just listened at the side without saying much, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

This was the first time her mother-in-law defended her like this. Thinking of Liu Hehua's bloody face, one can imagine how angry the old lady was at that time.
