Qiao Xi lay on the bed and carefully put the ginseng away.

At the same time, he guessed that Liu Lichun came because he heard that Xu Yi was beaten.

Given her feelings for Xu Yi, how could she miss this opportunity to care about him?

Maybe she was thinking of taking this opportunity to gain Xu Yi's favor.

If you care, there's no need to be so loud.

It’s not good. This girl’s emotional intelligence is not very high.

Qiao Xi "tsk tsk" and shook her head.

"Sister-in-law Liu Lan, why are you here? I have something urgent to talk to Brother Yan Zheng about."

"Brother Xu Yi is in his room."

"Hey, girl, you can't just barge in like that!"

Qiao Xi didn't have to go out to hear the entire conversation between the two.

She thought that as she guessed, Liu Lichun came to Xu Yi to show off.

She felt a little tired after lying down. She didn't get enough rest last night. Now lying on the soft bed, Qiao Xi slowly felt sleepy.

There is nothing to do now, so I want to close my eyes and take a nap.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard Brother Xu Chong calling his sister-in-law.

"Wife, wife——"

Qiao Xi didn't take the first few calls seriously, thinking that Brother Xu Chong wanted to talk to his sister-in-law about something, but when she heard the last few calls, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why does Brother Xu Chong sound so urgent, as if something big has happened?

Could something be happening with Xu Yi?

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi suddenly lost all sleepiness. She tried her best to use her arms to support her body higher and wanted to look outside through the window.

Unfortunately, the window was a little high and the bed was a little low, so I couldn't see anything.

No, she has to go and see Xu Yi, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable staying here.

Qiao Xi endured the pain and stood up, found a loose coat and put it on, then slowly walked out of the room.

As soon as I walked out the door, I saw Mrs. Lu Yun hurriedly coming out of the kitchen.

"Hey, why did you come out? Go back and lie down!"

When Lu Yun looked up, he saw her standing at the door, her eyes full of surprise, and the tone of her voice seemed like she was scolding a disobedient junior. It didn't make people feel disgusted, but rather concerned.

"Sister-in-law, I want to go see my brother-in-law."

Josie explained with a smile.

"Xu Yi is fine. Come on, I'll help you go back to the house and lie down."

As he said that, Lu Yun walked over to Qiao Xi, grabbed her arm and was about to take her back to the room.

"Also, sister-in-law is telling you that some strangers might come to our house soon and they might look fierce, but don't be afraid. Go and call for help from your brother. Just stay in your room and don't come out."

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Qiao Xi stopped and looked at Lu Yun with some confusion, wanting her to explain in more detail.

"Come on, someone, surround this door for me!"

But before Qiao Xi could hear Lu Yun's explanation, she heard a man's voice first.

She happened to be standing at the door of the house and could see the courtyard gate.

Several strong men immediately surrounded the gate of her house.

Looking at the faces of those people, Qiao Xi had never seen them in the village.

These people are not from Xuliu Village.

"The door is open today, it seems someone is home."

Qiao Xi narrowed her eyelashes and was just wondering who these people were when she saw a handsome young man in gorgeous clothes, fanning himself in one hand, striding into her yard.

"Hey, look, there are actually two young ladies in the yard welcoming me."

Two people of the same age as Qiao Xi and Lu Yun standing in the yard naturally attracted attention.

As soon as the young man came in, his eyes fell on the two of them, and he looked them from head to toe very rudely, making strange noises from time to time.

His look was so unfriendly that it made them both frown, especially Josie, who felt as if she were being seen.

"Did you come to the wrong door, sir? We don't welcome strangers. Please take your people and leave immediately."

Qiao Xi didn't hide her dislike for them in her words.

"Isn't this Xu Yi's house?"

When Qiao Xi heard his words, her heart skipped a beat. They were coming for Xu Yi.

This person looked arrogant and walked into the yard so recklessly. He was definitely not a friend.

If he is not a friend, then he can only be an enemy, otherwise why would he come here.

"It's Xu Yi's house. But it's not convenient for him to come out to meet us now, so please go back."

Qiao Xi held out her hand as a gesture for her to leave.

But the man pretended not to see anything, and without even turning his head, he ordered the person behind him: "Go, bring a chair over for this young master."

When the strong men behind him heard this, they almost rushed to find chairs.

Unable to find a suitable place in the yard, they actually wanted to move directly into the house.

Qiao Xi was so angry that she clenched her fists and raised her voice a few degrees. "Stop! I want to see who dares to enter the house. You are so rude! The master is here, and you are walking into the house as if it were no one's home. Do you still have any respect for the law?"

"That's right, you think we, the villagers of Xuliu Village, are easy to bully!" Lu Yun couldn't help but speak up for Qiao Xi.

At the same time, she kept looking out the gate, wondering why her husband hadn't come back yet after calling for help.

Upon hearing this, the young man in splendid clothes burst out laughing, with endless sarcasm on his lips: "Royal law? Haha, they are asking me about the royal law. Sun Kui, tell them who I am."

"Yes!"

A burly man behind him heard this and stepped forward with a serious face. He first bowed to his son, then said in a loud voice, "My son's surname is Nie, and his name is Guizhou. He is the only son of the Nie family in Lingxiao City. Not to mention your small family, even in the entire Lingxiao City, he can enter any house he wants, and no one dares to stop him."

Ah!

Qiao Xi looked calm and sneered, "Can you brag any higher?"

He can enter anyone's house in the entire Lingxiao City if he wants. Could it be that he is the local emperor of Lingxiao City?

Let alone a local emperor, even if he was a real emperor, he couldn't enter anyone's house as he pleased.

Wait, what did Nie Guizhou just call this strong man?

She seemed to have heard someone mention this name.

A strong man with a fierce look on his face, Sun Kui!

A light bulb went off in Qiao Xi's head. Isn't this the name of the person Liu Lichun had heard before?

It turns out that these were the same group of people who had smashed up the house before.

What kind of grudge does Xu Yi have with Nie Guizhou? It’s not enough that he came once, and now he brought so many people with him.

In such a short while, Qiao Xi had thought of a lot, but she pretended to be calm.

But Lu Yun was not as calm as she looked.

Her expression changed, fear in her eyes, and she stammered, "Nie—Nie family?"

Thinking of what she had heard before about the Nie family, her lips turned pale and she quickly pulled Qiao Xi, who was about to speak.

Feeling the tug, Qiao Xi turned to look at her in confusion.

When he saw her pale face, he became even more alert.

But now she is still confronting these people. If she is suddenly defeated, wouldn't it only encourage their arrogance?

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi patted Lu Yun's hand gently to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law."

Then he turned around and continued to look at Nie Guizhou and his group and said slowly, "Alright, stop beating around the bush. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do by coming to my Xu family?"
