Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

"Oh, the Liu family is far away in Kyoto. Do I really have to travel thousands of miles to find them? Besides, I can't defeat them alone." Ning Shan sneered, his eyes frighteningly cold. "Just recently I heard that a Mr. Liu from Kyoto came here. I thought it must be an old acquaintance, so I rushed over to see you. What a coincidence! It really is you. Now that you are here, I must treat you well."

He took out his sword from behind, thrust it forward lightly, and Lord Liu's sword fell silently to the ground.

He stepped forward, the tip of his sword pointing directly at Lord Liu's neck.

"I was wrong. Please, please, let me go. I will never appear before you again." Lord Liu fell to his knees. Faced with his life, he no longer cared about his dignity. "What happened in your family is truly none of my business. Please, let me go... I still know some of your family's secrets. If you let me go, I'll tell you everything... We've been friends for so many years, after all. You don't have to kill me. You should always leave some room for error. Besides, I had no involvement in what happened back then; I was just a bystander... Please..."

Ning Shan listened to his explanation, sneered, pointed his sword out, and stabbed it directly into his shoulder blade. Then he pulled it out suddenly, and blood gushed out immediately.

"Ah... Help me, it hurts so much..."

"It's right that it hurts. What I did to you today is not even a fraction of what you did to me back then." Ning Shan looked at him coldly. "You destroyed our family, and now I've fallen to this point, fleeing the world. For revenge, I'll do anything. Killing a dog official like you is fine. I just want to make you feel the pain of wanting to die."

He raised his hand and stabbed out with two swords.

Lord Liu's hands and feet were all pierced by the sword, the wounds were so deep that the bones were visible. As a young man who had been pampered since childhood, he had never suffered such pain before. He rolled on the ground in pain.

He wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but the pain in his legs prevented him from even kneeling down.

Just as he was lying on the ground, sweating profusely from the pain, suddenly, it seemed as if several pairs of green wolf eyes appeared next to him.

His whole body trembled, and suddenly a strong smell of urine came from under his feet.

"Ningshan, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. I will definitely correct myself and never do anything that harms others again." He burst into tears in pain, and with fear of the unknown, he crawled to the foot of Ningshan: "Please help me get down the mountain. It's too dangerous in this mountain. If you leave me here, I will really die..."

"Heh..." Ning Shan sneered, "Didn't you come to the mountain to catch wild wolves? Now I'll give this home ground back to you. Just enjoy the wild beasts' carnival."

After saying that, he turned around and left, disappearing into the forest in a short while.

Several gray wild wolves walked out of the woods. The one leading them was the female wolf seen before. It pounced directly and took a big bite at the place where the smell of blood was coming from.

The remaining wolves pounced on the unconscious officials. For a moment, endless cries of pain were heard in the forest, and even the fainted officials woke up from the severe pain.

The sky gradually darkened. The villagers gathered at the foot of the mountain and watched several officers and soldiers carrying the bloody people down.

The official robe of one of them was stained red by the snow, and he could be vaguely identified as Lord Liu.

"Look, I told you, wild wolves are not that easy to catch. There are only a few of them going up the mountain, and they've suffered a great loss from the wolves."

"This Lord Liu has been bullying the village day after day. Now he's been bitten by a wild wolf like this. It can be considered retribution. He may not live for many days. It's better this way. Let him get out of our Qinjia Village."

"That's right. From this perspective, the wild wolf is actually the lucky star of our Qin Village. It never comes down from the mountain to harm us, and now it's helping us drive away our enemies."

"Yes, yes, I think so too. It seems that wild wolves also have some humanity and can distinguish who is good and who is bad..."

"..."

When the villagers saw this scene, they all ran around to tell each other. Although they were happy, they did not dare to show it too obviously for fear of being punished later.

Of course, the village doctor was also invited to the village chief's yard to help treat the illness.

He was also shocked to see Lord Liu lying on the bed with wounds all over his body. Blood soaked his clothes and lightly stained his outer robe red. Even his face was bitten all over, and he looked extremely miserable.

The doctor immediately began to treat the wounds, but he was just a layman after all. Some of the wounds were so deep that the bones were visible, so when some herbs were applied to cover them, Lord Liu was awakened by the pain.

"Ah...you bunch of bastards, are you trying to hurt me to death?" Lord Liu couldn't help but curse and swear, "If you hurt me again, I'll punish you for incompetence and give you dozens of lashes."

The doctor was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground. "My lord, I really didn't mean to do that. It's just that cleaning the wound requires this step. Otherwise, it will cause ulceration and inflammation, which can be life-threatening. My lord... please think twice."

"You're just a quack. I don't think you can just beat me up like that." Lord Liu was so angry that his eyelids were twitching. "Come... come, drag him away and give him thirty lashes. Then go to the city and get the best doctor here. I don't believe they can't cure me!"

"Lord Liu, calm down." A calm voice came from the door. Pushing open the door, it was County Magistrate Wang. "Although this doctor used some force, he was still treating patients and saving lives. If we drag him away to be punished for this reason, I'm afraid it won't convince the public. Since you think his method is wrong, I will go to the city and invite a doctor. Don't bother with him. Please leave."

The doctor quickly packed up his medicine box and ran out, crawling and rolling. Before leaving, he did not forget to give the county magistrate a look of gratitude.

"Sir Wang, who told you to let him go? Did you ask for my opinion? This is simply insubordination."

Lord Liu was almost laughing with anger, and he sat up directly from the bed, but he was covered in wounds. When he moved, the wounds that had just been bandaged broke open again, and blood flowed out.

"You're just a mere seventh-rank official. You've spent so many years in this godforsaken place without a single promotion. So, you should use your brain before you speak. You should know what you can and cannot say. What qualifications do you have to criticize my behavior? Be careful, I'll sue you when I return to Beijing and send you back to your hometown to farm."
