Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

After the door was closed, Chen Shuman and the others finally reacted. "Xu girl, Xu girl, we know we were wrong, please, let them let us go, we won't dare to do it again."

"Sister, Sister Xuer, this has nothing to do with me. It's all my brother's idea. You should settle the score with him. Please let me go, Sister Xuer!"

Chen Shuman and Liu Juan rushed over, but were held down by the servants who came in with them.

Liu Chengcai was already scared silly, and huddled aside with a look of horror. But Liu Dongcheng, seeing Liu Xu standing there, had a flash of relief in his eyes, and then he closed his eyes decadently.

Liu Xu ignored the others. She slowly walked to Liu Chengming, stopped, looked up at this cousin who used to be so arrogant, and said sarcastically: "Oh, my good cousin, why can't I be here?"

"Impossible, impossible, haven't you been taken to Langya Village? How come you are here?" Liu Chengming shouted hysterically.

"Oh, you can have someone kidnap me, but why can't I let anyone rescue me?" Liu Xu sneered.

"Liu Chengming, calling you a beast is an insult to beasts. My father worked so hard and risked his life to support you and your son in your studies. In the end, he was forced by your grandparents to serve in the army for your father, and now his life or death is unknown. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also mistreat us mother and daughter everywhere, and have tried to kill us again and again. For the sake of my grandfather, I was planning to not bother with you, but what about you?" Liu Xu said gritting his teeth.

"What about us? Don't make yourself sound so noble. You say you don't care, but why can everyone in Liujia Village grow mushrooms, but we are not allowed to? Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!" Liu Chengming's eyes were red, and the viciousness in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"You stupid girl, if you have the guts, kill me today, or I will make your whole family suffer a fate worse than death sooner or later!"

He knew that Chang Yifei and his men would definitely go to rescue her, but thinking about how powerful the Langya Village was, they would definitely be helpless even if they went. They might anger the people in the village, and the damn girl would be badly injured even if she didn't die. But why, why did this damn girl stand in front of him in one day, intact? Why!

"Your father is cunning, your mother and your brothers and sisters are vicious, and you are even worse! Let me guess, you have been using your parents from the beginning, asking them to trick your grandparents out, and then pretending to use them to threaten me to hand over the recipe. Your purpose is actually to trick me out so that I can be kidnapped, right?"

"And there should be a follow-up to your letting Langya Village kidnap me! I heard that you asked the Hu family to exchange me back and hand me over to you for disposal? You probably won't let me go back at that time, but want to sell me to a brothel, right?" Liu Xu said while staring at him closely.

Sure enough, a hint of fear flashed in Liu Chengming's eyes, as if asking, how do you know.

Not only Liu Xu saw it, but Mu Lingxuan and the others also saw it. Chang Yifei was so angry that he immediately took the whip next to him and swung it hard, beating and scolding:

"How dare you! How could there be someone as inferior to a beast as you? She is your biological cousin!"

The Chang family would have internal strife, but even if it was a woman in the inner house, she might kill someone, but she would never think of sending a little girl of a few years old to such a scumbag place. What's more, she was the daughter of his uncle who had done him a favor. This Liu Chengming simply overturned his understanding of human nature.

Mu Lingxuan was afraid that he would beat someone to death and cause trouble, so he quickly stopped him, "Enough, don't dirty your hands for such a person." He said this to Chang Yifei and also to Liu Xu.

What surprised him was that when he turned around, he saw Liu Xu with a calm face, as if she was not the one he was talking about.

"Haha, Liu Chengming, ah Liu Chengming, don't worry, I won't kill you and smear myself. Not only that, I will send someone to treat your injuries. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I have all the evidence of you colluding with the Chen and Hu families to form a gang. Someone will take you to the county government tomorrow. I believe the county magistrate will handle the case impartially."

Liu Chengming is a selfish, conceited, and vicious person, but he cherishes his reputation very much. He may not be afraid of death, but being disgraced and lingering on would make him feel worse than death.

She would ask Chang Yifei to arrange for someone to cut the tendons of his hands and feet, and then poison him to make him mute, so that he would live a life worse than death.

Don't say she is cruel. If you give Liu Chengming a little hope, he will definitely do as he said and make their family restless.

Liu Xu glanced at Liu Chengming who was furious, then looked at the other people who seemed stupid, then turned and walked out the door.

When the door opened, Liu Dashan and his wife looked very sad. When they saw her, their expressions were very complicated.

"Grandpa, grandma, I think you have heard the whole thing. If you want to persuade me to let them go, then don't say anything. As for what you will think in the future, just do as you like! After all, the ones inside are your treasures!" After Liu Xu finished speaking, she left without caring about them.

Liu Dashan and Zhang opened their mouths but said nothing in the end. They glanced into the room from a distance, supported each other, and left. However, their hunched backs seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

Chang Yifei didn't care about them either. He just ordered his servants to keep an eye on the Liu and Chen families and not let anyone die.

After leaving the backyard, Liu Xu planned to say goodbye and go home. Before leaving, she did not forget to ask He Lei to ask the old couple Liu Dashan.

Chang Yifei said that he would take care of the rest of the matters and let Liu Xu rest assured.

Mu Lingxuan took his men, including Liu Xu and his servant, and left together. After all, the mushrooms needed to be transported back as soon as possible.

On the way back to the village, they took the carriage that Mu Lingxuan and his party had brought. Liu Xu and Liu Dashan and his wife took two separate carriages. When they got on the carriages, Liu Xu and the two looked at each other across the carriage, but neither spoke. Zhang actually wanted to beg Liu Xu, but Liu Dashan held her back and shook his head. So, both parties got on their respective carriages in silence.

In just two days, the old couple was deeply saddened by what had happened. "Old man, are you really not going to care about the eldest brother and the others?" Zhang looked at Liu Dashan hesitantly.

Liu Dashan sighed deeply and shook his head. He wanted to intervene, but how? The little granddaughter had made it very clear that they were all his descendants, and the eldest son's family was already ashamed of the younger son's family. Who would have thought that his eldest grandson, whom he had always been proud of and doted on, was such an ungrateful and vicious person. A grown man, a scholar, actually colluded with bandits to kidnap his own cousin for a way to make money! And, he still had such thoughts, how could he have the face to ask for help!

Moreover, colluding with gangsters, even if he didn't understand the law, he knew it was a serious crime! How dare he? Not to mention taking advantage of the old couple...

He couldn't help but ask himself, how could such a thing worse than an animal come out of their family? The more he thought about it, the angrier and more uncomfortable he became. Then his eyes went dark and he passed out.

When Zhang saw Liu Dashan fall down, she screamed in fear: "Old man, old man, what's wrong with you? Someone come! Someone come!"

The team stopped quickly. Liu Xu heard the sound from behind and jumped out of the carriage before it stopped. He Lei hurriedly followed. Mu Lingxuan also heard it from the front and followed.

"What happened to Grandpa?" Liu Xu asked as she lifted the curtain and saw Zhang Shi sitting in the carriage with tears streaming down her face, hugging Liu Dashan. The old man had his eyes closed. When he saw her, he hurriedly shouted:

"Xu girl, hurry up, hurry up and save your grandfather, he was sitting and suddenly fell down!"

Liu Xu looked anxious when she heard this. She guessed that the old man probably fainted because he couldn't bear the shock. This matter could be a big deal or a small one. He Lei's arm was injured now, so she could only ask Mu Lingxuan for help.

"Brother Huaijin, could you please ask Xuanyi to help me send grandpa back to the village as soon as possible?" Liu Xu knew that Xuanyi had great martial arts skills and was faster than a horse carriage.

Mu Lingxuan nodded and signaled Xuanyi. Xuanyi immediately took Liu Dashan from Zhang's arms and ran to the village. "Brother He Lei, go back to find Grandpa Meng." Liu Xu said to He Lei again. The others were all Mu Lingxuan's people and were not familiar with the village. He Lei responded and rushed to the village.

Fortunately, they were close to the village entrance and would arrive soon.

"Xu, Xu girl, your grandfather will be okay, right?" Zhang held Liu Xu's hand tightly, as if she was holding a life-saving straw.

Liu Xu felt a little pain, frowned, endured it, and comforted Zhang: "Don't worry, Grandpa will be fine, let's go back first!"

"Okay, go back quickly!" Zhang murmured, but her hand did not let go of Liu Xu. There was no way, Liu Xu could only share a ride with her.

Mu Lingxuan knew that she was anxious, so he ordered the convoy to speed up.

Uncle He saw the convoy from afar at the door and guessed that it must be the young Marquis Mu and his men that He Feng mentioned. The young lady must have returned. So he shouted to the yard, "Go and tell the lady, the young lady is back, the young lady is back!"

So, when Liu Xu and the others arrived, they saw that all the members of the Liu family were crowded at the gate, with red eyes, looking at them expectantly.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xu Ruolan staggered towards the first carriage, shouting, "Xu'er, Xu'er!" Liu Changshun and his family of four followed behind.

Before Mu Lingxuan could open his mouth, he saw her pull open the car curtain and found that it was empty. The joy in her eyes instantly dimmed.

"Mom, I'm here!" Just when she was wondering if her daughter was injured and didn't come back, she heard her daughter's voice next to her. She turned her head and saw Liu Xu supporting Zhang, standing next to the second carriage, looking at her with curved eyebrows.

"Xu'er, my Xu'er, you are finally back!" Xu Ruolan wanted to hug her daughter, but when she saw Liu Xu supporting Zhang, she held back. She wiped her tears and said gently, "Mom, you are back too, go back to the room and rest first."

"Xu'er, you silly girl, you scared me to death, do you know that, woooo." Xing'er didn't care about anything and walked forward and hugged Liu Xu's other arm.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Chen Lan also choked up a little.

Fortunately, although Liu Changshun's eyes were red, he still kept his sanity. Seeing Mu Lingxuan, he took a step back and knelt down. Although a little embarrassed, he sincerely thanked: "I would like to thank the young marquis for saving Xu's life on behalf of my brother!" He Feng had already told his family about Mu Lingxuan's true identity. Everyone respected and feared him, but more of them were grateful.

Seeing this, others also knelt down and expressed their gratitude.

Only Liu Xu was left standing there supporting Zhang Shi. Liu Xu didn't react, while Zhang Shi was shocked. She originally thought that Liu Xu's acquaintance with Chang Yifei was a big deal, but now there was a young marquis. Although she didn't know what the young marquis was, judging from the reactions of Liu Changshun and the others, he should be an official, and a high-ranking one at that.

Mu Lingxuan pursed his lips and looked at the villagers who had gathered around him at some point and were now kneeling down. He thought to himself that he was negligent and forgot to remind He Feng and the others.

He was planning to keep a low profile. Fortunately, it was only Liujia Village. He could say hello to the village chief and there shouldn't be any problem. After thinking this through, he said, "Please stand up, fellow villagers. I am here incognito with a mission this time. Please keep it a secret."

Everyone quickly agreed. When everyone stood up, Liu Xu finally came to her senses. However, she already knew Mu Lingxuan's identity, so she didn't feel much.

"By the way, mother, third uncle and third aunt, you are all out, who is looking after my grandfather?" Liu Xu finally realized that something was wrong. Almost all the masters and servants in the family were here.

"Your grandpa? Didn't dad come back with you?" Xu Ruolan and the others were stunned.

"No, Mom, Grandpa fainted on the way. Brother Xuanyi carried him back first, and Brother He Lei also went to ask Grandpa Meng. They should have arrived earlier, right?" Liu Xu frowned.

"The old man is missing?" Zhang, who was standing nearby, understood what was going on. Thinking of her own old man, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Grandma" "Mom!"

Fortunately, Xu Ruolan was beside her and reached out to support her. Everyone looked anxious.
