Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Old Lady Xu looked like she wanted to kill someone, with hatred in her eyes, and she rushed straight towards Qu Jingyao and her daughter.

"You bitch, it's all your fault. You're the one who caused our Qu family to suffer like this. The Qu Qingchen you're looking for is this bitch's brother. She must know where the person is."

Old Lady Xu shouted to the official with a smug look in her eyes, and even Mrs. Wu joined in.

Liu's eyes were slightly red, and her chest was heaving violently with anger. Looking at the mother-in-law in front of her whom she had taken care of for so many years, she really couldn't warm her heart at all.

"Why do you have to be so ruthless? Qingchen is Shusheng's son!"

There was undisguised sarcasm in Old Lady Xu's eyes, two flames of anger burned in her cloudy, drooping eyes, and every wrinkle on her face was filled with disgust for Liu and her son.

"So what if he's his son? Isn't it you who caused the current situation of the Qu family? If my son were alive, would he still watch you and your son bully his mother like this?"

Liu's tears of grievance and despair fell down her cheeks: "You are so cruel..."

When Old Lady Xu heard what Liu said, she cursed and raised her hand to hit Liu.

Qu Jingyao looked at Old Lady Xu's face with disgust, and she stepped forward to stand in front of Liu.

"Pa" a slap hit her face. Liu and Aunt Cui Lian beside her hurried forward to check with heartache.

At this time, the officer shouted at them with an annoyed look on his face: "Where is Qu Qingchen? Hand him over quickly. I am still waiting to report to you."

After hearing what the officers said, Qu Jingyao glanced at Liu beside her soothingly, and then questioned the officers:

"My brother must have committed a crime. If you're arresting him, you should at least give a reason, right? You can't just use random hearsay as a weapon to bully the people."

The officials looked at Qu Jingyao in front of them, and disdain was revealed in their eyes: So she is Qu Jingyao, she is really stunning, no wonder the young master of the Wu family is so infatuated with her.

Then, several people shouted at Qu Jingyao with stern faces, "Stop talking nonsense. The imperial court has stipulated that every household must provide labor service. Why don't you agree? How many heads do you have?"

Qu Jingyao searched through the original owner's memories. When her father was alive, he had already performed corvee labor, but was pushed out by the shameless people of the Qu family. They all claimed to be sick and didn't want to go, so they had no choice but to push her father out.

"The laws of Yuan Shao require every family to send someone to perform corvee labor, but they also stipulate that those who have performed corvee labor before are exempted from it. Didn't the county magistrate tell you before you came that my father had already performed corvee labor? Why did he drag my brother into it? This is not in compliance with the law. Or is there someone behind this..."

As he spoke, Qu Jingyao's eyes swept across every official present, and finally his gaze fell on Butler Qian.

When the village head heard her words, he remembered that this was indeed the case. He smiled and slapped his thigh: "Yes, yes, yes, Qu Shusheng has indeed performed corvee labor this year."

When the officials heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces. The lawyer had indeed not mentioned this when they came, which made them a little embarrassed. They all turned their eyes to Butler Qian.

He was also surprised, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, and he winked at several officials.

"In that case, the officer will go back and verify it. If you are lying, all those involved will be punished. No one can escape. Take the others away."

When Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Xu heard this, they immediately stepped forward and grabbed the officer to plead for mercy, asking him not to be taken away!

When Qu Xiuxiu saw that her father was about to be taken away, she hurriedly explained to the officials that since some family members had performed corvee labor and no longer needed to provide manpower, her father and uncle did not need to go either. They had not yet separated when her second uncle left.

Qu Jingyao didn't expect that Qu Xiuxiu's mind was so quick, and the look in her eyes was icy cold.

When Mrs. Xu and her daughter-in-law heard their granddaughter's words, they nodded anxiously. Yes! What the granddaughter said makes sense.

The officials were annoyed and pushed Old Lady Xu away, cursing and warning them.

"Get out of here! You're making fun of us! I'm telling you, we've taken the man away today, and the county magistrate will make his own judgment."

As they were talking, the officials behind them saw that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still trying to argue, so they immediately drew their swords and threatened them, scaring the two of them so much that neither of them dared to move forward.

Qu Xiuxiu watched her father and uncle being taken away in front of her. Her eyes were filled with hatred towards Qu Jingyao. She had embarrassed herself in front of the villagers before, and now her father was...

"Mother, mother, save me!"

Hearing her two sons being taken away crying, Old Lady Xu suddenly collapsed to the ground and burst into tears.

But before anyone could step forward to persuade him, he was suddenly hit hard by the words of Butler Qian.

"Is the wailing over? Shouldn't our Wu family's two hundred taels be returned?"

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she stopped crying immediately. When Mrs. Wu heard the price of two hundred taels, she wondered, "Didn't the old man say one hundred taels?"

The people around also realized that the Qu family actually accepted two hundred taels of silver from the Wu family to sell their granddaughter. They are really not human!

The clan leader felt ashamed standing in the crowd, and his eyes looking at Xu became colder and colder. If this continued, the Qu family would lose its credibility in the village. What an idiot!

The patriarch walked away with his cane, planning to have his wife come later to give the Xu family a lesson.

At this time, Qu Jingyao supported his mother and Aunt Cuilian and walked towards the village head's house. They had nothing to do here, so it was better to stay away from the Qu family.

Seeing her about to leave, Qu Xiuxiu quickly called out, "Sister, where are you going? Didn't you see that the Wu family is making things difficult for Grandma because of you?"

She was afraid that no one in the village would hear about it, which would boost her business significantly.

Qu Jingyao paused, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she turned around and glanced at Qu Xiuxiu sarcastically.

"What does the money you owe the Wu family have to do with me? We haven't received any of the money, and we've already split up the family business. You're so young, and your brain isn't working properly right now. This is an illness that needs treatment!"

Qu Jingyao finished speaking slowly, and Qu Xiuxiu was so angry that she grabbed the handkerchief in her hand and her eyes widened. She didn't expect why Qu Jingyao suddenly became so eloquent.

"Sister, you can't be the only one talking! I see your dress is new, right?"

Qu Xiuxiu said this to arouse the suspicion of the villagers. She didn't want to go out without the money.

Liu looked at her daughter, and how could she not see Qu Xiuxiu's little thoughts.

At this time, the people around looked at Qu Jingyao and her daughter with suspicion. Could it be that the silver and money were really divided among the Liu family?

She patted the back of Liu's hand and slowly took a step forward. Seeing this, Qu Xiuxiu unconsciously stepped back and stared at her cautiously.

"Sister, what are you going to do? Did I say something wrong?"

"Sister, you're right, don't you know it? You didn't learn anything else when you went to town, but you did learn that insidious trick 100%! What does it have to do with you if I wear new clothes? And why can't I wear them?"

Qu Jingyao approached her step by step, staring at Qu Xiuxiu with her deep eyes. Seeing her guilty and evasive look, Qu Jingyao sneered.

Old Mrs. Xu was forced into a corner by Butler Qian and pointed at Liu.

"I...I...gave some of the money to Liu. You can go ask her for it. Yes! Go ask her for it."
