Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

The scene suddenly became quiet, and all the women held their breath.

Zhou's heart suddenly began to panic and she felt weak all over.

The two ladies who were nearby hurriedly reached out to support him.

After a pause, Zhou called the head maid, "Cai Ping, come with me to the guest house."

The two of them took two quick steps before Zhou realized that there was a banquet at home today and the guests were still there.

"Ladies and young ladies, I apologize for the poor hospitality of our Xue family today. Please forgive me. Please rest in the garden for a while. I will be back soon."

"Go quickly, the child is important, you don't need to worry about us."

"Yeah, yeah, go ahead."

The ladies in the pavilion urged her to go quickly, not caring about these empty formalities.

Zhou bowed gratefully to everyone in the pavilion, then hurried away with Caiping.

When Zhou arrived, Xue Jingtang was sitting in the outer room, shivering from the cold.

"What happened? I heard from the maid that something happened and it was life-saving. What exactly is the situation?"

Xue Jingtang saw that she was anxious, "Keep your voice down. Mr. Ma and Doctor Qin are treating their injuries in the inner room."

"What's going on? Aren't you with the old man? How could something go wrong?"

Zhou looked into the inner room and saw that the door was closed. She wanted to go in and take a look, but she was afraid of calling them to treat the disease.

"Madam, please be patient. With Mr. Ma and Doctor Qin here, the young master and the ladies will be fine."

Caiping knew that her wife was distressed and anxious, so she could only comfort her constantly.

How could Zhou stay still? "Where are the Chen family members?"

Xue Jingtang: "In the backyard, Qingke and Qingzhu were seriously injured while trying to protect Luo'er and the others."

"What? Several girls were also injured? Who is so arrogant?"

Zhou wondered if they had run into some bandits who were so cruel as to even harm a child.

"Don't worry, my lady. Old Master Yu has already taken care of this matter."

"No, I'm going to go check on some girls."

After saying that, he hurried to the backyard.

After passing the round moon gate, I heard sobbing from inside.

"Ma'am, please be careful."

Zhou's body felt a little weak, and she almost fell down because she was not careful.

Xue Luo turned around and saw Zhou, and immediately ran over crying.

"Mom, Luo'er thought she would never see you again today."

Zhou looked at the little girl in her arms. Although her hair was disheveled and her body was dirty, she did not see any scars.

"Is Luo'er injured anywhere? Let me take a look."

"Mom, I'm fine. I just had some scrapes and scrapes. I've already applied medicine. But Qingke and Qingzhu were badly beaten and are still in there."

As she spoke, Xue Luo started crying again.

Zhou comforted her and took a few steps forward to greet everyone in the Chen family.

Then he asked, "Old lady, what happened?"

Old Lady Chen's eyes were red as she said bitterly, "We don't know the details. They were traveling a bit slowly in their ox carts, and we were waiting for them two or three miles away. Who would have thought that in such a short time, they would be in trouble."

"You blame us too much. We should have kept an eye on them all the time, and we wouldn't have suffered this misfortune."

As he spoke, everyone in the room couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Don't blame them. It's all because of that girl surnamed Cui. She's not only rude and unreasonable, but also extremely arrogant and domineering, and she's also extremely brutal and vicious."

"Cui?"

"Well, she also said that her father is the chief official of Prince Fu's palace, and that even if she beat us to death, we deserved it."

Zhou Yuerong snorted lightly, extremely disdainful. "What a girl from the Cui family, she bullies others by taking advantage of her power and disregards the law. If she is like this, I will let her know what power is."

He turned around and whispered a few words into Caiping's ear, then instructed her, "Teach her a lesson, don't let the injuries show."

"Yes"

Caiping turned and left.

Basins of blood were being carried out, which was shocking to see.

"Mom, will the two sisters be okay?"

"It will be fine. The eldest sister and the second sister will be fine."

Qing Ning Xiaoxiao sat there alone, her whole body tense, staring at the inner room without blinking.

She was really scared today. She had never seen such a scene in her two lifetimes.

In the past, they had only seen such arrogant plots of treating human life as a joke in the news and on TV. Although they knew that these things really existed, how could they, as ordinary people, really encounter such things in their daily lives?

But she didn't expect that she would really encounter it. She didn't want to experience the humiliation, unwillingness, powerlessness and despair of being at the mercy of others a second time.

The powerful and wealthy can use their power to oppress others and kill people without blinking an eye. In their eyes, ordinary people are like ants.

Seeing her like this, Zhou knew that this incident must have planted a lot of hatred in her heart, and she felt both distressed and angry.

He let go of Xue Luo, walked over and hugged Qing Ning in his arms, and gently comforted her, "Good child, don't let these filths cloud your heart and blur your eyes."

"Not everyone is like them. What is the purpose of your studies? Do you still remember what you said to us back then?"

Qing Ning said solemnly, "To learn to read and understand reason, to distinguish right from wrong, and also to benefit the people and serve the court."

"My dear child, you have a pure heart and are loyal. What about now? Do you still think so?"

Qing Ning shook her head and said softly, "Money, power, and influence are all indispensable."

"Yes, money, power, and influence are important, but they are also like sharp knives, each only an inch away from the heart of this world. What is the purpose of making money? What is the purpose of power? You must think clearly about these things. If you are too greedy and don't know where the bottom line is, then disaster will come."

"It's not shameful to use power to oppress others, but if used properly it can be a helper, but if used improperly it can become a butcher's knife, just like this girl from the Cui family."

"Do you understand?"

Qing Ning looked at Zhou for a long time before saying, "Thank you, mother. I understand."

Zhou touched her head and felt comforted.

She had said all this to Qing Ning because she was afraid she would get stuck in a dead end. This child was incredibly bright and precocious, far surpassing her peers at such a young age, and even more so than most adults.

If we don't give constant advice and guidance and let them go astray, how regrettable and sad it would be!

The room fell silent again, and everyone waited anxiously.

"Madam, Doctor Cai said to find another skilled doctor. It's really hard for her to treat the two girls' injuries alone."

Just as they were getting anxious, a maid came out and reported to Zhou.

Zhou stood up in shock and almost dropped Qing Ning.

But he didn't care about her, "Go tell Dr. Cai, I'll go find someone right away."

After saying that, he hurried to the garden. Seeing Li there, he immediately went up to her and took her away.

"Good sister, please come with me. Saving people is important."

Li didn't ask the reason and just followed her.

The people in the pavilion had lost the ease they had when they arrived. They wanted to check on the situation, but they also knew that this was not the time to cause trouble.

After bringing the people to the backyard, Li glanced at everyone in the house and went into the inner room.

"Sister Li is the wife of Qin Yiling, and she is also well versed in medical knowledge. You can rest assured."

Zhou was afraid that the Chen family would feel uneasy, so she explained Li's identity to them.

Mother Zhou came to report that the meal was ready. She ordered someone to bring the food and let the Chen family eat some in the outer room.

He went to the flower hall to apologize to everyone.

After the meal, no one stayed any longer and everyone said goodbye and went back, allowing them to take care of their household matters with peace of mind.
