Divorce the bad husband, store grain fields, and marry the emperor's uncle for the second time

"I'll harness the carriage for you and we'll go together," said Song Yanbai.

"Okay." Xia Xiaorou nodded.

The two of them took a carriage and headed to Mr. Luo's home in the neighboring village.

Xia Xiaorou came to Mr. Luo's house not long ago.

When she left, it was Mr. Luo's eldest daughter who personally escorted her out of the manor. This time, Xia Xiaorou came again in a carriage. The gatekeeper recognized her and immediately arranged for someone to go in and pass on the message.

Not long after, someone came forward and said, "The eldest lady invites Lady Xia to come into the manor to talk."

Song Yanbai parked the carriage at the side of the manor gate, and accompanied Xia Xiaorou and the messenger to the main hall of the Luo family.

Miss Luo saw Xia Xiaorou and stood up to greet her with a smile, "Madam Xia, how come you have time to come to our village today? By the way, are the two children you brought last time okay?"

Yan Heng invited everyone to a dinner, and Mr. Luo not only brought his sister, Mrs. Luo, but also his eldest daughter.

Therefore, when Miss Luo saw Xia Xiaorou, she was extremely warm and respectful.

She thought to herself that it was a good thing that she did not force Xia Xiaorou to keep the two children she wanted last time, otherwise she would not know how to face Xia Xiaorou now.

In addition, Xia Xiaorou told her that her husband wanted to divorce her for supporting a concubine, so Miss Luo was very grateful to Xia Xiaorou.

Xia Xiaorou smiled, "They are doing well and are living with their mother now."

"That's good." Miss Luo smiled and nodded. She personally helped Xia Xiaorou to sit down, and personally brought tea to her.

Xia Xiaorou said politely and asked if Miss Luo's brother was in good health.

Seeing that Miss Luo looks very healthy, I guess things are going well at home.

"Thanks to Madam Xia's reminder last time, our family found another doctor, and my brother's condition has improved a lot. Now he is no longer bedridden and can move freely." Miss Luo said with a smile.

"That's good." Xia Xiaorou nodded and said, "By the way, Miss Luo, I came to your farm to inquire about something. Your family has never borrowed cows from us, but this time you not only borrowed from our township, but also borrowed all the cows in our village? Did you expand the farmland this year?"

Miss Luo blinked her eyes. "No, we finished plowing the land a few days ago, so we don't need to borrow cows to plow the fields. Miss Xia, what's the matter? Why do you say that our village is still borrowing cows?"

Xia Xiaorou looked at Song Yanbai who followed her, "Brother Yanbai?"

Song Yanbai said, "Miss Luo, this is absolutely true. I still have the record here."

He took out a note from his sleeve, on which was written the name of the family that Xia Xiaorou had asked him to borrow the cow from.

There are eight families in total, three in this village and several in each of the other three villages.

Miss Luo blinked, took the cow in her hand and looked at it, then said in confusion, "I have never heard of these families. We only lend cows to certain families and never to strangers because we are not familiar with their temperament and are afraid that the cows will be disobedient and cause trouble."

Song Yanbai frowned, "But these families insisted that they borrowed it from your farm. What's going on?"

"Is it possible that you remembered it wrongly, and it was borrowed from another village, or from a family with the same surname Luo?"

"If I remember correctly, they all said it was the Luo family from Wuliu Village, Jinqiao Township. Isn't this your village? In this village, only your Luo family has a big village." Song Yanbai said.

"But our family doesn't need to borrow a cow?" Miss Luo shook her head and said.

Xia Xiaorou's eyes flickered, and she asked again, "Miss Luo, could it be that someone else in the village borrowed the cow? Can you help us ask?"

Miss Luo nodded, "Okay, no problem, Miss Xia helped me a lot, this little thing is no problem."

She walked outside and said to the servant's wife, "Tell all the stewards to come here. I want to ask some questions."

Not long after, all three managers of Luojiazhuang came, but they all said that they had not gone to borrow the cow.

Miss Luo added, "Go ask other people who borrowed the cow under the name of our village. Check immediately. I have a guest here who is waiting for news."

The three managers saw that Xia Xiaorou had an extraordinary demeanor and that their eldest daughter spoke in a stern voice, so they didn't care about the delay and quickly arranged for people to investigate.

In less than half an hour, they came back and all said that they had not heard of anyone borrowing the cow.

"Miss, all the fields in our village have been plowed, and there is no need to transport goods, so there is no need to borrow cows. Why did you say we borrowed cows?" the managers asked in confusion.

Miss Luo frowned, "It was Madam Xia who went to borrow a cow. The families that had cows all said that our farm had borrowed the cow, so she came to ask."

"We only lend cows to people we know, and we never lend them to people from other villages. Madam Xia must have misunderstood." The managers all said.

"Or, Madam Xia, you can ask the people from these families who borrowed the cow?" Miss Luo nodded at Xia Xiaorou.

Xia Xiaorou glanced at Song Yanbai, and they both stood up and said goodbye, "Alright."

As they were walking towards the front gate of the manor, they met Madam Luo halfway.

Miss Luo greeted Mrs. Luo, "Aunt."

Madam Luo's eyes moved to Xia Xiaorou's face, "Isn't this Madam Xia? I didn't know that Madam Xia was coming here. Please don't blame me for not welcoming you."

The tone is sarcastic.

Miss Luo blinked and looked puzzled, "Aunt?"

She glanced at Madam Luo, reminding her that this was Xia Xiaorou, the fiancée of the owner of Yanyuan, not some ordinary village woman.

But Madam Luo ignored Miss Luo's gaze and continued to look at Xia Xiaorou with a forced smile.

Xia Xiaorou narrowed her eyes and secretly complained in her heart that there was arrogance in the tone of this Mrs. Luo.

She didn't offend her, did she?

Why does she talk like that?

"Ms. Luo, you are too polite. I'm just passing by and came to see Miss Luo. Bye." Xia Xiaorou nodded slightly, turned around and left.

But Madam Luo said behind her, "I heard that Madam Xia is a capable woman, which is why she won the favor of Mr. Yan. I think she will be able to handle farming easily, right?"

Xia Xiaorou turned around suddenly and squinted at Madam Luo, "What do you mean by this, Madam Luo?"

Miss Luo found her aunt's words disrespectful, so she quietly pulled Miss Luo's sleeve and whispered, "Aunt, Miss Xia is Mr. Yan's fiancée."

But Madam Luo ignored her. Since she was not Yan Heng’s fiancée, she was too lazy to say anything.

"It's nothing special. I was just saying it casually. I heard that Madam Xia is a capable person. She has never had any problem with village work, right?" Madam Luo smiled.

Xia Xiaorou smiled in her heart. She was just looking for the culprit, but the culprit jumped out on his own initiative and even dared to provoke her with words. He was so arrogant!

Song Yanbai's eyes widened. "It was Madam Luo who borrowed the cows? Your fields have been plowed, why did you borrow all the cows?"
