Gu Wenxuan and the others had no idea what the head of the village was thinking. They talked all the way and came to Baijia Village together.

Bai Jingzhou directly invited Mu Jingzhi and others to his home, and then he personally went to the end of the village to invite Mr. Gu and others to his home.

Bai Jingzhou's parents had never heard Bai Jingzhou talk about saving people. Now that the guests were all there, they didn't dare to ask too much, so they entertained Mu Jingzhi and others with Bai Lizheng in confusion.

Mu Jingzhi and others did not neglect the Gu family and the Bai family just because they were ordinary people. Not only did the two families bring generous gifts to express their gratitude, but they also behaved very approachably in their words and deeds.

Not only did the Gu family and the Bai family get two generous gifts without knowing it, but they also got a promise from Mu Hanzhi and Zhao Duo.

The two of them took out a jade pendant and gave it to Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan respectively. "If you have any troubles in the future, just bring the token to Zhao Mansion/Mu Residence in the state capital to find me."

Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan refused to accept it. Not only the token of gratitude, but they also felt that the gift was too expensive and they would feel guilty if they accepted it.

They kept refusing, but Mu Jingzhi and Peng Xuan'an were not at all shy and directly had people move the things into the main hall of the Bai family.

While Bai Jingzhou was speechless because of his and Mu Jingzhi's actions, Peng Xuan'an whispered to him some good news that was very pleasing to him.

It turned out that Peng Xuan'an's stepmother had been stripped of her housekeeper rights by County Magistrate Peng and sent to the farm. The servants around Peng Xuan'an and his sister Peng Nian'an had also been replaced by County Magistrate Peng.

As for Mu Jingzhi's servants, they were just playful for a moment and did not follow Mu Jingzhi well. Later, they were foolishly fooled by the servants of the Peng family. They did not intend to harm their own master, so Mu Hanzhi just beat them ten times on the grounds of dereliction of duty.

Peng Xuan secretly told Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan that his black-hearted stepmother, who looked sweet on the outside but had a bitter heart, not only wanted to kill him, but also, as they had guessed before, had been secretly mistreating his sister.

Zhao Duo and County Magistrate Peng were unable to see through the woman's tricks, but Zhao Duo's wife, the second aunt of Peng Xuan'an and his sister, quickly caught hold of the woman's real evidence.

Compared with the secret harsh treatment in terms of material conditions, the heart-piercing words that the vicious woman deliberately asked the servants to tell Peng Nian'an obviously made those who cared about and loved Peng Nian'an even more furious.

Zhao Duo, who always prided himself on being a gentle gentleman, was extremely angry. In front of County Magistrate Peng, he asked his maid to slap the vicious woman more than a hundred times, causing her face to swell up like a pig's head.

County Magistrate Peng did not want to stop it, nor did he dare to. He was only secretly thankful that he had ordered his second wife to be sent out of the mansion early on. Even if Zhao Duo wanted to settle accounts with her, he could only chase her to the farm and have a rage like he was doing now, instead of beating their biological mother in front of his other two children in the mansion and planting the seeds of hatred in their hearts.

As for whether his step-wife was beaten so badly, County Magistrate Peng said, wasn't his daughter's condition worse than his step-wife's being beaten?

If it weren't for the fact that she was the mother of his two children, County Magistrate Peng would have divorced her long ago, or let her die of illness.

The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh and blood. It is true that County Magistrate Peng loves Peng Xuan'an and Peng Nian'an the most, but he also does not want his other two children to be unable to hold their heads up in front of others.

However, from the perspective of Peng Xuan'an and Peng Nian'an, his way of handling the matter was very chilling.

Look, at this moment Peng Xuan is complaining to his friends with an angry look on his face.

"That vicious woman has done so many immoral things, but my father still refuses to divorce her!"

"I questioned him, and he said something else. If he divorced that vicious woman, the two kids she gave birth to would not be able to hold their heads up in front of others."

"Isn't this ridiculous? What does it have to do with me and my sister whether the children of our enemies can hold their heads up high? Why should we, as victims, swallow our anger just to let those two brats hold their heads up high?"

"He told me that the child was innocent, but aren't my sister and I innocent? I'm fine, I just suffered this one time. My sister is pitiful, she suffered for nine whole years at the hands of that vicious woman!"

Peng Nian'an, who was hiding behind him, lowered her head even lower when she heard her brother mention her.

Gu Wenxuan was not interested in the Peng family's affairs, but she was very worried about the mental state of the little girl Peng Nian'an.

Because of the special nature of her job in her previous life, she actually came into contact with many children whose lives were filled with various misfortunes.

Peng Nian'an's behavior after arriving at Baijia Village made Gu Wenxuan suspect that the child had developed some kind of mental illness due to torture.

She glanced at Bai Jingzhou, then at Peng Nian'an, with obvious questioning intent in her eyes.

Bai Jingzhou nodded slightly at her, confirming Gu Wenxuan's guess.

Gu Wenxuan sighed, a look of pity emerging on her face.

Bai Jingzhou gave her a gentle look full of comfort, and then he reminded Peng Xuan'an in a gentle voice, "Your sister has been in a bad mood for many years, and her qi is stagnant. It's best to find a good doctor to help diagnose and treat her."

Peng Xuan nodded repeatedly, "My uncle also said that we should find a good doctor to treat her."

Gu Wenxuan looked at Peng Nian'an tenderly, "In a situation like hers, the company and counseling of her family are also very important. You are the closest person to her in this world. If you care about her and accompany her more, it will be more effective than making sure she has good food and clothes."

Peng Xuan'an was a little ashamed, "It was indeed my fault. I was just playing by myself and wanted to run outside every day..."

"No, it's not." Peng Nian'an raised his head and nervously and with difficulty refuted Peng Xuan'an's words, "Brother, it's very good. It's, it's me, it's not good."

She hadn't spoken for a long time, but the reason she was able to speak so fluently when she thanked Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou was because she had secretly practiced many times.

Now he suddenly started to speak words that he had never practiced before, and he was extremely anxious because his brother was blaming him, so not only were his sentences incoherent, but even his voice sounded weird.

She obviously realized this herself, so as she spoke, the little girl's face turned red and her head slowly lowered because of inferiority complex.

However, Peng Xuan'an did not feel that there was anything to be ashamed of about his sister. It was a great surprise to him that his sister was willing to protect him.

What's wrong with not being able to speak clearly? His sister is like this because she hasn't spoken for a long time. With time, his sister will definitely get better.

Peng Xuan'an was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He touched his sister's head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Our Nian An is very good. She is the best sister in the world."
