Hearing her question, Xu Yi looked over. His eyes were a little vague, as if he was looking at Qiao Xi, but also as if he was looking at something else through her.

Qiao Xi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

But after a while, she still didn't hear his voice. Just when she had given up hope, she suddenly heard him say calmly, "Nothing. It's getting late. Let's go back quickly. By the way."

As if suddenly remembering something, Xu Yi paused and whispered, "Sister-in-law, stay home and try not to go out these days. If you need anything, go into the city today and buy it. You may have fewer opportunities to go into the city later."

Josie is a sharp person.

Although he didn't say specifically what was written on the paper, his instructions just now revealed a lot of information.

Meaning that if she went into town or went out, she might get into trouble?

All this may be related to Feng Hui.

After all, when he left the dean's place, Qiao Xi did not ignore the meaningful look in his eyes.

"Where are we going now?"

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment and found that Xu Yi had already walked away.

She hurriedly trotted to catch up with him, and seeing that he did not stop, she thought he had something important to tell her, so she asked breathlessly.

"go home!"

She never expected that Xu Yi would just throw two words at her without even slowing down his pace.

Qiao Xi paused, and seeing that he had no intention of waiting for her, she could only endure the discomfort in her knees and try her best to keep up.

……

As usual, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Xuliu Village.

The two got off the carriage one after another. As soon as Qiao Xi's feet touched the ground, she saw a figure rushing towards them anxiously.

From a distance, it looked like a woman.

When the figure came closer, Qiao Xi could see clearly that it was Liu Lichun.

Liu Lichun's eyes were on Xu Yi from beginning to end.

Qiao Xi had been standing next to Xu Yi and received an innocent roll of the eyes from her.

She accepted Xu Yi's bullying, but others thought she was easy to bully, which was wrong.

Even though she was a little girl, she would not tolerate her and immediately rolled her eyes in response.

In the past, Qiao Xi ignored Liu Lichun whenever she saw him.

Seeing this, her eyes widened instantly, full of disbelief, and she finally took her eyes off Xu Yi for a while.

Whose eyes are bigger? Qiao Xi refused to admit defeat and stared at them, not even blinking.

Humph, let’s see who gives up first.

Xu Yi stood there and took in everything they did, but he said nothing about their childish behavior.

He just said indifferently: "You guys continue, I'm going home first."

Hearing him say that he was leaving, Liu Lichun no longer cared about competing with Qiao Xi for victory or defeat, and quickly reached out to block his way.

His voice was a little anxious: "Wait a minute, Brother Yan Zheng, I have something to tell you." After saying that, he did not forget to glare at Qiao Xi.

It’s all her fault. I almost forgot about the important matter.

Liu Lichun paused and said, "Brother Yan Zheng, have you offended anyone in Lingxiao City?"

Hearing this, Xu Yi and Qiao Qian looked at her in unison.

Xu Yi's face darkened slightly: "What do you mean? What do you know?"

His sudden change of expression frightened Liu Lichun so much that he flinched, but he still stammered and replied, "Not long after you left today, a few strangers came to our village.

They are all tall and strong, with a fierce look on their faces. As soon as they enter the village, they ask the villagers about your residence.

After finding out where you live, they head straight to your house.

Some people wanted to follow and take a look, but those people waved their fists and scared them, so no one dared to follow.

I was afraid they would harm you, so I followed them secretly. But——"

"But what?"

Not only did Xu Yi's face look unhappy, his voice also became much colder.

"But since no one was home, they actually broke down your door and broke in. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare follow them in. But I did hear some crackling sounds."

Hearing this, Xu Yi hurried home without waiting for her to finish.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi followed, but after taking just two steps, she turned back.

She asked anxiously, "Are those people still there?"

Liu Lichun shook his head: "They stopped for a short while and then left."

But even if they left, she didn't dare to go in to see. If she went in and was misunderstood by others as having done it, Brother Yan Zheng would hate her.

Then how can she marry Brother Yan Zheng?

"Okay, thanks for telling us."

After thanking him, Qiao Xi also went home.

Her pace was slower than Xu Yi's. Now that those people were gone, there wouldn't be much danger. It would just be a matter of cleaning up.

But who could be so rampant that he would bring people to someone else's house to smash and destroy things in broad daylight?

The key point is that no one in the entire Xuliu Village dared to stop them, and no one reported it to the government office.

Qiao Xi thought about it and soon arrived at the door of her home.

She pushed open the door and the first thing she saw was the mess in the yard.

Things that were once neatly arranged in the yard are now thrown everywhere.

Fortunately, they were all some resistant firewood and nothing valuable or fragile.

When she entered the yard, she did not see Xu Yi.

My eyes moved to Xu Yi's room. His windows were wide open and I could see inside from the yard.

But there was no sign of him inside.

Qiao Xi was just about to look around other rooms for him when she heard a noise from the mourning hall.

Yes, in his heart, the most important thing now is his mother-in-law, so he must go and see the situation there first.

Qiao Xi also walked towards the mourning hall.

Entering the mourning hall, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, those people still had some good karma for themselves, and everything in the mourning hall was intact.

Otherwise, considering Xu Yi's filial piety towards his mother-in-law, who knows what he would do if he got angry.

In the mourning hall, Xu Yi was burning incense.

Seeing this, she also picked up the incense and lit it, then bowed respectfully, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and knelt beside Xu Yi.

Seeing Xu Yi bow again, she finally had time to talk to him.

"Uncle, did you really offend anyone in Lingxiao City?"

To be honest, given his cold personality, it is indeed possible.

But he studies in the academy all day long and is too lazy to see outsiders. Who could he offend?

According to Liu Lichun's description, those people were big and strong, and felt very much like other people's thugs or guards. Only the wealthy families in Lingxiao City could afford to support these people.

If you think about it carefully, the Feng family cannot afford to support such a group of people.

Could he be the young man from a wealthy family who is studying in the academy?

Xu Yi bowed again before standing up. He turned to look at her thoughtful face and said nonchalantly, "They should be coming for me, sister-in-law, don't worry.

Also, I will handle this matter and will not implicate my sister-in-law."

Seeing him like this, Qiao Xi realized that he already knew what was going on, but she couldn't just ignore it.

If those people affect his career path, it will have a big impact on her.

If she knew the names of those people, she could use the navigation to find out their current movements and follow the clues to find the people who ordered them to do things.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi subconsciously thought of someone.
