After Mr. Wu finished speaking, the people around him stepped back. They all knew that the Wu family was in the town...

"I can prove it!" The old man from the bookstore walked in from outside the crowd.

He walked forward slowly, stroking his beard with one hand. When the shop owner and Mr. Wu saw the newcomer, their faces suddenly froze.

A look of reluctance flashed across Mr. Wu's eyes, and then he put on a smile and walked forward:

"It's Master Wang, I was blind and didn't see..."

Before he could finish his words, the old man called Master Wang smiled and waved his hand:

"I have long since retired and returned to my hometown. I am no longer a Grand Tutor. Captain Qing, what are you doing..."

"Hehe... misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Just now, some unruly people made a random report. I will take my people back now." The head constable nodded and said, turning around and about to leave with his people, but was stopped by Grand Tutor Wang:

"Can this little girl, Captain Qing, leave now?"

"Master Wang, what are you talking about? Of course, of course..."

After he finished speaking, Constable Qing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, shouted "Pack up", and quickly left with a group of yamen runners. Before leaving, he did not forget to disperse all the onlookers around.

Mr. Wu knew that it would be boring to stay any longer, so he bowed and exchanged a few words with them, then turned around and got on the carriage, shouting for everyone to leave.

Mrs. Wu in the carriage glared at Mr. Wu with displeasure, complaining that he was afraid of even an old man who had retired to his hometown and had no official position.

Uncle Wu Bao didn't understand why his father was so afraid of that man.

"You know nothing. Even though Grand Tutor Wang has retired, his daughter is Consort Li! Is she someone you and I could mess with?"

Mrs. Wu's eyes narrowed, and she instantly loosened her hand holding Mr. Wu's. A hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and cursed Qu Jingyao, saying that little bitch was so lucky!

"Dad, that little bitch caused me and my brother-in-law so much bad luck, are you just going to let her go?"

"Let's talk slowly first."

Mr. Wu looked out the window and saw Master Wang chatting very familiarly with Qu Jingyao. He frowned and looked puzzled. The carriage quickly drove away.

Qu Jingyao bowed to Master Wang according to the ancients' understanding.

"Thank you, Grand Tutor Wang, for today!"

"Hehe...girl, just call me Mr. Wang. I have retired and returned to my hometown. Come back quickly."

As they were talking, Qu Jingyao exchanged a few words of greeting with him before turning around and getting on the ox cart. The three of them walked towards the city gate.

After leaving the city, Baiguo was still feeling upset and thought that he should have beaten them harder to prevent those people from causing trouble again.

Mo Lichen also said angrily that those people were really too much. If his sister hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten that pighead until he peed his pants.

"Okay, okay! I know Xiaochen is great."

As they were chatting and laughing, the ox cart slowly rushed towards Lingshui Village. Qu Jingyao, who had calmed down, had a dangerous light flash in his eyes. It seemed that it was necessary to deal with these top-notch people. He had originally thought of settling the house issue first.

But now these people are determined to commit suicide, so don't blame her.

When the ox cart slowly drove back to the village, it was already afternoon. From afar, one could see smoke rising from every household in the village.

Mo Lichen looked at everything in front of him and felt much more at ease. She and her son finally found their family.

Qu Jingyao noticed the tears in his eyes, reached out and patted his shoulder, then looked at the distant mountain and said:

"Xiaochen, my sister will build a big house there in the future. Can we move there together?"

Mo Lichen looked in the direction his sister pointed and saw a large piece of wasteland behind the mountain, which was more than enough to build a house.

"Okay! As long as I can live with my aunt and my brothers and sisters, Xiaochen will be happy no matter where I live."

As he spoke, Baiguo had already parked the ox cart in front of the courtyard gate.

Qu Qingchen just came out of the woodshed when he heard the noise. He had not had time to wipe the sweat off his body from chopping wood in the mountains. When he saw his sister coming back, he strode towards the courtyard gate.

"Yaoyao, Xiaochen, you guys are back. Leave the things and I'll move them."

When Mo Lichen saw him, he jumped off the ox cart and called out "Big Brother" with a smile!

Qu Qingchen was not used to having two more brothers for a while, and smiled stiffly:

"Well, come on in, dinner will be served soon."

Qu Jingyao also let him go in first. After watching Mo Lichen run into the house, she smiled and shook her head. She chatted with her brother for a few words, and the brother and sister carried their things into the house.

Baiguo went to the village head's house to return the ox cart.

"Aunt, is Xiaoyang feeling better?"

Qu Jingyao walked into the house carrying a bundle of bedding and clothes.

Yue Niang hurriedly tried to get up, but Liu held her down and told her to have a good rest.

"Why didn't you help your sister bring the things in just now, and just ran in by yourself?"

Yue Niang blamed Mo Lichen beside her.

"Aunt, I asked Xiaochen to come in first. It's not a heavy thing."

As she spoke, Qu Jingyao handed the bundle of clothes to the mother and her children.

Mo Lichen pulled Yue Niang's arm and pointed at the items, saying, "Mom, these are all picked out by my sister for us. Look, there are also animal-skin quilts!"

Yue Niang was surprised by the things in front of her. She said with an unnatural look on her face that these were too expensive. In fact, they were unnecessary. There were three more people in the family...

"Don't worry, it won't affect anything if you and your two children are together. Don't think too much. When you are well again, you can make beads with us. I tell you..."

Liu pulled Yue Niang aside and started chatting again.

Seeing the two sisters-in-law chatting animatedly, Qu Jingyao raised her eyebrows and smiled as she left the room. Before leaving, she glanced at the sleeping Xiaoyang.

She gave Xiaochen a look, indicating that he should come out with her.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Mo Lichen asked with blinking eyes and tilted head.

Qu Jingyao raised the corners of her lips and eyebrows and reminded him not to tell others what happened in the town today, so as not to worry!

"Well... okay." Seeing his sister's face turn serious, Mo Lichen had no choice but to agree obediently.

Qu Jingyao stroked his head, smiled and said that there were some pastries bought for him in the house, which were left for him and Xiaoyang to eat.

"Well, thank you sister."

"Go."

Watching him run back to the house childishly, Baiguo had already returned behind him.

"Bai Guo, come with me to the mountains tonight."

"Master, is there something wrong? Otherwise, let me do it. It's not safe on the mountain at night..." Baiguo asked with some confusion.

Qu Jingyao shook her head and smiled mysteriously, and whispered to her, "Has she forgotten that her master is a fairy who can tame animals?"

Baiguo didn't take it seriously, she just thought her master was teasing her, so she smiled and nodded in agreement.

At this time, Liu came out of the house and called the two of them to eat, and they should go to Qingchen's house to eat together today. It was inconvenient for her aunt and Xiaoyang to move.

"Let's have a reunion dinner today."

"Okay, listen to me."

She could see that her mother was indeed happy today. This was the first time she saw her mother so happy since leaving the Qu family.

She took two quick steps to Liu's side, pulled her arm, and asked coquettishly what delicious food to eat for the reunion dinner.

"Your brother went up the mountain to hunt some pheasants and came back. He said he met Dabai and the others there and helped him hunt some pheasants and rabbits. These are what we'll eat tonight."

As she spoke, she could already smell the rich aroma of chicken soup.

"Mom, why don't you let my brother sleep in one room with my two younger brothers tonight, and you and Auntie stay in another. Baiguo and I will temporarily live in the mountains. I want to build a house in the future."
