I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Just then, a series of noisy footsteps came from outside the door.

The crowd followed the sound and saw a tall man with a frosty face and hawk-like eyes that looked extremely ruthless.

The man walked slowly toward the crowd.

He was followed by no fewer than ten burly men.

Those burly men were all strong and muscular, and they walked with such lightness that their toes barely touched the ground; they were clearly trained fighters.

Long Jinyan followed the sound and, upon seeing the person, quickly went to his wife, shielding her behind him, and whispered something to her.

“These people don’t look friendly, but don’t be afraid, my wife. I’m here to make sure you’re safe.”

Li Renyi and the others also gathered around the woman.

They shielded Fang Xiaoxiao in the middle, each of them wearing a wary expression.

In contrast, Yu Donglei was kowtowing and begging for mercy.

When she looked up and saw the person who had come, her pitiful expression immediately changed to an arrogant one, and she got up and walked towards the person.

"Father, you've finally come. You must stand up for your daughter."

"Woooo..."

Supported by her maid, Yu Donglei stood in front of her father and began to cry pitifully.

If this is the most shameless person in the world, she must be the champion.

Fang Xiaoxiao looked at him with disdain.

Yu Donglei's father gave his daughter a cold look and said sternly.

"Alright, stop making a fool of yourself!"

His steps were heavy, and every step he took carried an undeniable air of authority.

However, in the eyes of Long Jinyan and his group, the other party was just a small fry, so they didn't care about him at all.

When Mr. Yu came to the crowd, he politely clasped his hands and bowed, his voice slightly hoarse as he humbly spoke.

"My daughter was very rude just now, please don't blame her, niece Fang."

He turned around and glared at his daughter, then continued.

"This matter is truly due to my family's lax discipline. Here is a hundred taels of silver; please accept it, my niece."

Fang Xiaoxiao had some impression of him.

This person is Yu Donglei's biological father, named Yu Jingnan, and is the village chief.

As for his character, all she knew was that he always had a serious expression, but that was all; he had a good reputation in the village.

At the very least, many villagers hold him in high esteem.

She knew exactly what the other party meant. Since they were offering money to settle things, if she didn't appreciate it, she would probably have no place to stand in this village.

Fang Xiaoxiao pushed aside Long Jinyan, who was blocking her way, extended her fair fingers, took the silver note, shook her arm, and laughed.

"Uncle Yu is joking. We're all from the same village. I'm not that petty."

"But Uncle really should keep a closer eye on Sister Donglei. I don't know what's wrong with her tonight, she brought so many people to my house to cause trouble."

"If it weren't for the fact that our Jin Yan has some martial arts skills, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Jingnan's lips twitched slightly, and he then expressed his apology.

"Don't worry, niece, your uncle will definitely discipline Donglei properly when he gets back. Since nothing serious has happened, let's take everyone back."

"Take care, Uncle, come again when you have time!"

Fang Xiaoxiao waved the silver notes in her hand, her voice laced with sarcasm.

After everyone left, she said with a fake smile, coldly criticizing.

"That old man, he's quite the show-off."

Long Jinyan, having closed the courtyard gate, turned around and asked.

"What do you mean by that, my lady?"

Li Renyi explained.

"What else could it mean? If there hadn't been so many of us here, do you think that old guy would have given us money? He probably would have killed us to keep quiet!"

As the heir of a marquis's mansion, he was always very good at judging people. Just by the murderous aura emanating from Yu Jingnan when he led his men through the gate, and the anger in his hawk-like eyes, it was clear that this person was a ruthless and vicious master.

He guessed that the other side probably saw that there were many of them, and that all the servants lying on the ground were seriously injured, so they knew that even if they took action, they couldn't kill them all at once.

If it attracts the attention of those around them, they will definitely report it to the authorities.

Fang Xiaoxiao stood on tiptoe, patted Li Renyi's shoulder, and nodded with great satisfaction.

"Renyi is right. This old man must not be a kind person to become the village chief."

Murong Changqing immediately agreed, saying that was correct.

As for Pei Yan, he didn't say a word the whole time and kept his head down, not letting anyone see his face.

For him now, he absolutely has to be careful and cautious after everything is done.

Now, that's all in the past.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Long Jinyan suggested that they drink and chat, and that his wife sing a little song to liven things up.

His words nearly caused his wife to run to the kitchen and grab a cleaver.

Fang Xiaoxiao screamed at the top of her lungs.

"What do you take me for, a courtesan in a brothel, singing you songs? Believe me or not, I'll cut you into eight pieces in a heartbeat!"

"Oh, my wife, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. Brother Jinyan is just thinking that we've escaped this calamity and can relax a bit."

Li Renyi quickly stopped his wife and took the kitchen knife from her hand.

Murong Changqing coughed twice and took out a silver ingot from his pocket.

"My wife's singing is beautiful and captivating, like heavenly music. This is a small token of my affection. I hope my wife will not be stingy and let her talent go to waste."

Fang Xiaoxiao pouted, seemingly unconcerned.

"Tch, you think you can get me to sell my body for just a tael or two of silver? Dream on!"

"What about the three ounces?"

"Only three ounces!"

"My wife, this is my absolute limit. If you don't want it, that's fine. I'll just sing with Brother Renyi to liven things up for everyone!"

After Murong Changqing finished speaking, he tried to take the silver back.

"We can talk this over. It's just a song. We're all family. I'm your wife, and you're my husbands. How can we talk like family?"

Fang Xiaoxiao snatched the silver from his hand, quickly stuffed it into her pocket, and said with an embarrassed smile.

"..."

The other three looked exasperated.

Pei Yan, in particular, had the most unpleasant expression, tinged with frost.

Russian qing.

Fang Xiaoxiao searched her mental music library and found that she didn't seem to know many ancient-style songs. Apart from "Shuidiao Getou", she basically didn't know any other songs.

After thinking it over, she suddenly realized that she didn't have to sing in the traditional Chinese style; she might as well sing Jay Chou's "Blue and White Porcelain".

"Ahem, well then I'll reluctantly perform a song for you all."

"This song will definitely blow your mind."

Three of you, look at me and I look at you.

Murong Changqing felt his heart was bleeding. The three taels of silver he had just taken out were all taken from the money bag he had swiped from Yu Donglei.

Although it wasn't his own money, it was still money he had worked hard for.

I really hope my wife will put in some effort and not waste his money.

Fang Xiaoxiao glanced at the bowl and chopsticks in front of her, then picked up two bamboo chopsticks.

She gently tapped the earthen bowl in front of her, gradually getting into a rhythm.

"White and blue koi fish leaped from the bottom of the bowl..."

Accompanied by ancient and simple words, sung with modern melodies.

Everyone present gasped in astonishment!
