She thought she was here to discuss things with Xu Boyan, but suddenly realized that she was here to cooperate with Xu Boyan.

Since Xu Boyan has no such intention, it is her own business.

Xu Boyan felt that Gao E was angry: "I didn't say I wouldn't deal with this matter, I just wanted to come up with a foolproof plan."

"There are no such things as perfect, only the one that happens." Gao E raised her voice unconsciously.

Xu Boyan looked at Gao E.

Gao E also realized that her voice was too loud: "Sorry, I'm leaving." She said that and left.

Bai Hao and Lu Qingluo on the side were a little stunned. How could two such calm people get angry sometimes?

"Master?" Bai Hao called out cautiously.

"Get out." Xu Boyan glanced at Bai Hao.

Bai Hao ran out immediately. He knew that if he hadn't kept a close eye on those three people, their master wouldn't have been in such a passive position.

After leaving the county government office, Gao E sat in the carriage without saying a word. Lu Qingluo looked back several times but didn't know how to ask.

Gao E reflected deeply and gradually calmed down.

Xu Boyan is right, caring too much will lead to confusion.

But why would she get angry in front of Xu Boyan?

He has become very brave.

It was already dusk when we returned to the village. The villagers who had finished their work carried baskets and farm tools on their backs and called out to the children playing outside to go home quickly.

Seeing this scene, Gao E found a sense of peace in her heart. Now that the groom had escaped, this matter really needed to be considered carefully.

After Shi Hui was injured, he did not return to Hui County immediately, after all, his injury was too obvious.

Fortunately, it was hot at that time of year, and there were many wild fruits and wild animals in the mountains and forests. He stayed in the mountains and forests for three days and recovered a little before returning to the county.

As soon as he entered He County, Bai Hao told the news to his grandfather.

"How badly is he injured?" Xu Boyan clenched his fists.

"He looks like a normal person." Bai Hao said cautiously, "Do you want to..."

"Keep an eye on it first." Xu Boyan said directly.

Judging from the time, the Tao family will be here soon.

At this time, Zhu Mo brought in a letter: "Master, your letter."

Xu Boyan took the letter, opened it, and held it tightly in his hand after reading it.

Prince Bin is traveling and has no return date, so it seems that inviting Prince Bin is probably not feasible.

There was no movement from Marquis Jingyang. He was probably analyzing the pros and cons, thinking about how this matter would benefit him.

He hesitated for a moment and did not tell Gao E about this.

Gao E made some arrangements after returning to Baotou Village. Luo Dagang was asked to escort the children in the family. Children in the village were not allowed to travel alone, and even villagers were not allowed to be left alone.

The question was that a group of kidnappers had come to He County and some children had been lost.

When everyone heard Gao E say this, they all took it seriously and scolded the damn kidnapper.

There were a few days of peace and quiet, and everything was going on in an orderly manner. Du Weiqing wrote back again, saying that they would be back before the Double Ninth Festival.

There was still no news from Chen Ke, and Gao E increasingly felt that something had happened to Chen Ke.

As for Xu Boyan's attitude, Gao E quickly felt relieved, thinking that she was forcing it.

Xu Boyan only needs to tell her about the situation at the Tao family. He has no obligation to follow her in doing whatever she wants.

"Boss." He Jiabei suddenly appeared and looked at Gao E with a flattering expression.

"What's the matter?" Gao E felt that He Jiabei came here every day.

"Has Lianxin discussed marriage?" He Jiabei asked directly.

Gao E looked at He Jiabei suspiciously: "Why are you asking this?"

"I like her." He Jiabei said directly.

Gao E looked at He Jiabei in surprise. It wasn't that she felt Lian Xin was not worthy of He Jiabei, but it was a bit sudden: "Can you afford it?"

"Of course I can afford it," He Jiabei said confidently. "Besides, I can get a raise in three years."

Gao E looked at He Jiabei speechlessly for a while: "Even if you get a raise, you can't support Lianxin."

"Impossible." He Jiabei was very determined.

He saw that Lianxin was simple, wearing coarse cloth shorts and without any jewelry. She was a person who knew how to live, so how could he not be able to support her?

"Okay, I'll let Lianxin stay with you for two days and make sure she's well fed." Gao E said directly.

"Is it that simple?" He Jiabei looked incredulous.

"You'll know when the time comes." Gao E said with an ambiguous expression, "Lianxin, come here."

Lian Xin frowned slightly but still walked over. She didn't want to pay attention to He Jiabei. She didn't know what was going on these past few days, but he was always circling around her. "Boss."

"You will eat with He Jiabei these two days and make sure you eat well," Gao E ordered.

He Jiabei looked at Lianxin with a smile, as if he was looking at his own wife.

"I don't want to follow him." Lianxin said directly.

The smile on He Jiabei's face disappeared instantly.

Gao E didn't expect Lian Xin to be so direct.

Lian Xin looked at He Jiabei: "Do you like me?"

He Jiabei nodded awkwardly.

"If you like me, you can find a matchmaker to propose marriage. If I don't want to, it's my business. What do you mean by telling the boss this?" Lianxin asked.

He Jiabei was worried that Lianxin would not agree.

"Since you have found a boss, let me tell you that I don't like you." Lianxin said bluntly.

Gao E would give Lianxin a thumbs up for being decisive.

"Why?" He Jiabei was a little hurt, thinking that even if it didn't work, he should still give him some face. "What's wrong with me?"

"Whether I like you or not has nothing to do with whether you are good or not." Lianxin said and left.

He Jiabei stood there looking at his boss sadly.

Gao E didn't know how to comfort He Jiabei: "Maybe... you two are not suitable?"

He Jiabei felt even more hurt when he heard what his boss said.

"You should think this is good and not dragged out." This is what Gao E thought.

He Jiabei looked at Dongjia resentfully and turned away, thinking, forget it, Dongjia only knows how to finish him off.

Gao E looked at He Jiabei's lost back. It was a matter of if it worked, it worked. If it didn't, then forget it. Was it really necessary to make a life-or-death argument?

The matter just passed. Gao E thought it was not a big deal, Lian Xin thought it was not a good thing, and He Jiabei thought it was a shameful thing, so no one talked about it anymore.

Luo Dagang didn't see He Jiabei for a long time. When he asked, he found out that He Jiabei was rejected by Lianxin. He felt relieved at once, but he still came every day.

Gong Zhinian's head injury had almost healed. During this period, two managers of the Tao family came to see him and told him openly and secretly that if he swallowed this anger, he would be looked down upon in He County in the future.

He didn't dare to respond because the magistrate had also come to see him.

Although it talks about the incident of him being hit on the head by those farmhands, the key point is why he was hit on the head by the farmhands. It clearly means that outsiders like them should not engage in unfair competition, otherwise his position as county magistrate will not be a decoration.

Perhaps because he was hit on the head, Gong Zhinian became much more sober.

When he first arrived at Baotou Village, he realized that it was a small place and would not be able to develop into a big country.

But it is a remote place and it is not easy for others to move there.

After much thought, he decided not to offend anyone, so he planned to sell all his property and leave He County.
