Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Yuan Hui was a little surprised by Xu Ruolan's proactive apology.

Liu Xu also stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Second aunt, I'm sorry, Xu'er didn't take good care of my brothers."

Yuan Hui's face flushed, and she hurried forward to help Liu Xu up: "Don't say that, Bao'er, it's Second Aunt who is anxious, don't take it to heart."

Then he said to Xu Ruolan, "Little sister, don't take what Second Sister-in-law said before to heart. I didn't figure this out, Second Sister-in-law should apologize to you and Baoer."

As he said this, he bowed to Liu Xu and her mother.

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, sit down! We are all family, don't let these little things ruin your relationship."

As soon as they sat down, Li Yueyao came over.

She heard the servants say that her sister-in-law and her daughter were coming over. She was worried that her sister-in-law might say something to hurt her sister-in-law's feelings, so she put the child away and hurried over to check on her.

"Yueyue, what did people say about what happened over there?" Old Madam Xu asked curiously.

Although the old man did not explain in detail, the words must have been quite unpleasant to the two children, as they were so angry that they took action directly. She knew their children well and they were not the kind of people who would nitpick.

"It's hard to say now. It's involved in other things. The clan leader has locked the person up and asked us to go there on the sixth day." Xu Ruolan shook her head.

"Don't worry, grandma, nothing good will happen to them!" Liu Xu told a few people about her discovery, and the four adults frowned when they heard it.

"Bao'er, once this matter gets out, you can't talk about it anymore! Regardless of whether it's true or not, even if it's true, these words can't come out of your mouth as a little girl." Xu Ruolan said to her daughter with a serious face.

Liu Xu nodded quickly: "Don't worry, mother, I know everything. I have only told my second uncle and you guys."

"If what happened is true, this woman is really vicious!" Yuan Hui frowned. They were also present before, but they just thought that those women were talking nonsense.

Li Yueyao said with some worry: "Yes, if things are as Baoer guessed, then wouldn't there be only a blind old lady in their family?"

"Amitabha, what a sin!" The old lady clasped her hands together and sighed slightly.

Liu Xu and Xu Ruolan were startled, "Mom! Grandma Chen..."

"Baoer, please send someone to check it out quickly, make sure nothing happens!" Xu Ruolan said hurriedly.

Liu Xu nodded, bowed hastily to the elders, and ran out.

The Xu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also reacted. Yes, the mother and son were locked up, leaving only the blind old lady at home. If she met someone who talked too much, I'm afraid...

Liu Xu ran out of the East Courtyard and ran into Han Duoduo who was looking for her. She didn't have time to talk to her, so she called Liu Ming and Aunt Lin and hurried to Liu Wulang's house. Han Duoduo hurriedly followed.

When they arrived, the gate was locked from the inside. There were no people around.

Unlike the bustling other houses, the courtyard is very quiet.

I knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Liu Xu called out a few more times, but there was still no response. She frowned and motioned Han Duoduo to fly in and take a look.

"Junior sister, junior sister, something happened!" After a while, the voice of Han Duoduo running out in panic was heard.

The door opened and Liu Xu and a few others hurried inside.

There was no one in the yard, so Han Duoduo took the person to a side room.

The room was a little dark, and the smell was not very pleasant. Widow Liu's mother-in-law, Old Lady Chen, was lying on the threshold. Liu Xu tried with her hand.

"Huh, luckily he's still breathing. Senior Sister, go and get Grandpa Meng."

"Uncle Ming, carry the person to the bed. Aunt Lin, please help boil some hot water."

The three of them quickly took up their respective duties. After putting the old man on the bed, Liu Xu pulled a quilt for him, only to find that the cotton wool in the quilt was in clumps like lumps of earth.

She asked Liu Ming to look after the people and went to the main room herself.

He fetched a blanket from Liu Hehua's bed, trotted back, and covered the old lady with it, rubbing her hands, arms, feet, and legs. Liu Ming went out to find a charcoal brazier and lit it.

Soon, Doctor Meng was brought here by Han Duoduo.

"Oh hey, little Duoduo, slow down. I can't have a peaceful New Year!" The old man complained as he was dragged into the house by Han Duoduo.

"Grandpa Meng, please check on Grandma Chen! She was lying on the ground when we got here, and we don't know how long she's been there."

Liu Xu said as she moved away from the bed.

After a while, the old man frowned and said, "She is already weak, and she is so angry that her condition is not optimistic!"

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and Liu Xu motioned Liu Ming to go and take a look.

However, before he could walk out of the room, someone came in.

Liu Xu looked up and saw that the person in the front was the village chief Liu Dahai, followed by Liu Wulang's two aunts and a middle-aged man in his forties.

Liu Wulang's father is the second child in the family, with an older brother and a younger brother. Both families have quite a few people. Among those who came back with Liu Donglai and his companions, there is one in each of the two families.

There were some tribesmen who followed outside the door. Some of them came because they saw Han Duoduo and Doctor Meng coming, and some followed because they saw the village chief coming.

Everyone stood outside the door, talking quietly. After all, they were from the same clan, and their faces were filled with worry.

In the house, Liu Xu greeted the people who came in, "Grandpa, Grandma Zhuang, Grandma Wang, and Grandpa!"

"Xu girl, you are really thoughtful! What's happening to your grandma Chen?" Liu Dahai asked in confusion after seeing the situation in the house.

The other three also looked at her.

Liu Xu told everyone what happened after she arrived and Doctor Meng's diagnosis. Everyone sighed when they heard it.

At this time, Aunt Lin came in with hot water. Liu Xu hurriedly asked her to come forward and give the old lady some hot water first. She also asked Aunt Lin to find a clean cotton cloth or towel, soak it in hot water and wipe the old lady's hands and feet.

The two old women stayed to help, and the others left the house first, including Dr. Meng.

"Doctor Meng, can the patient still be saved?" Liu Dahai asked directly.

Everyone around fell silent after hearing this.

Doctor Meng shook his head helplessly. "It's difficult! Her body is already full of holes. Even if she uses ginseng to keep her alive, it will only take about half a year."

Liu Dalang, the middle-aged man, pursed his lips and asked dryly, "If not, how many days are left?"

"The patient's desire to live is very weak. I can only help him prolong his life for a month at most. If that's all, it will only be a matter of a few days."

The villagers had already pulled Liu Xu aside to ask about the situation, and they were deeply moved when they heard what Doctor Meng said.

"Aunt must have heard the rumor from somewhere, so..."

"Most likely. Miss Xu said that when they came, the gate was locked from the inside."

"Isn't this still unconfirmed? Why did she just..."

"Is it possible that Aunt Chen knew something, so she made up her mind after hearing it?"

"Hard to say!"

Liu Xu stood aside and raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the conversation between these people.

Who said the people were stupid? The people of Liujia Village figured out the truth with just one sentence today, just like a certain Nan.

Based on Liu Hehua's performance at that time, Liu Xu felt that these people were most likely right.
