The two were locked in a fierce battle, their killing intent not dissipated by the rain, but rather growing stronger.

Ye Hansheng's legs trembled. No matter how he thought about it, something was wrong. After the incident, he thought it best not to cause conflict, so he went back to get reinforcements, hoping to resolve the matter "peacefully" and "amicably." But now, the "reinforcements" had arrived, but without saying a word, they started killing people!

He represents the government; he can't just arrest Miss Jiang, can he? The Blessing Fairy will come and take his life!

Besides, they didn't do anything wrong, they were just a bit too violent!

What should we do? Someone please save him!

The surrounding people dared not speak, especially those who had just watched the men forcibly seize the grain and were also itching to do the same. They dared not reveal any of their thoughts and retreated even further back.

After all, that seemingly delicate little girl can really kill!

At the same moment, Jiang Ranran's eyes were also filled with murderous intent.

However, she dared not show it to anyone else, only clutching the hairpin tightly.

Pointing at her own neck, she said, "Young master, if you insist on... then, Ranran will have no choice but to kill herself here!"

"No, no, no."

Wu Yong took a few steps back. "I didn't do anything to you, why are you so agitated?"

He licked his lips, picked up his clothes from the ground, and slowly put them on. "You've been bringing me food in all sorts of different ways, I thought you were doing it willingly. Really, do you think I'm the kind of person who would force someone?"

"I... I only tried my best to make the food more palatable for the young master, but I didn't expect you to misunderstand."

Jiang Ranran leaned against the wall, not daring to loosen her grip on the hairpin in her hand.

To make herself look as pitiful as possible, she forced out several tears, pleading, "Please, let me go back."

"Alright, I know you too well. You act like an innocent little rabbit, but your heart is much dirtier than mine, haha."

Wu Yong had already heard from his father that this girl was just an adopted daughter of the Jiang family, but she stole things from the family's biological daughter, took over their work, caused trouble, and then cried and acted all wronged.

Her own father had been instructed by his biological daughter to take good care of her.

He had previously thought this person was truly capable, and had held back for so long without making a move. "Following me is already giving you face. Let me tell you, everyone outside is retreating eastward, and our Ruyi Tower is leaving tomorrow night. If you're obedient, I can take you with me; if you're disobedient, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"What? Eastward... Eastward retreat?"

Jiang Ranran was startled and glanced out the window; sure enough, there was a huge crowd.

What about the Jiang family? They must have discovered she was missing long ago. Have they considered coming to look for her?

Could it be that they're abandoning her? If the Jiang family doesn't come soon, does she really intend to follow this Wu Yong?

Wu Yong glanced at her and said contemptuously, "Don't even think about letting Ruyi Tower take care of your bunch of useless family members. They're just freeloaders and a burden."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Shopkeeper Wu's voice was somewhat anxious, "Wu Yong, is Ranran here with you?"

"Dad, I'm here. He brought me my food."

Wu Yong spoke very obediently to his father.

He glared at Jiang Ranran with a threatening look before opening the door. "Dad, how did you find your way here?"

Jiang Ranran had already put the hairpin away and dared not cry anymore.

Otherwise, his reputation would be completely ruined, and he would have no choice but to follow Wu Yong.

She tried her best to keep her expression calm, forcibly suppressing the coldness and resentment in her heart. "Manager Wu, you wanted to see me?"

After being brought back by that bitch, she tried to please Manager Wu so she could go home as soon as possible, but who knew that the old man was so stubborn!

So he changed his approach and tried to lure Wu Yong with food, but well, he almost got himself into trouble!

Why does everyone have to bully her? Is she really that easy to bully?

Sooner or later, she will make these people grovel at her feet!

Seeing that she had her head down, Manager Wu didn't think much of it and said directly, "Your family is looking for you. They're in the servants' quarters in the backyard. Go and see them."

"Really?"

Jiang Ranran was overjoyed. Sure enough, the Jiang family wouldn't abandon her!

They must have come to take me and we'll retreat eastward together!

Manager Wu gave her a meaningful look, "Go quickly."

Jiang Ranran couldn't guess what he was thinking, but she felt a little creeped out by his gaze, so she quickly lowered her head and ran away.

After she ran far away, Manager Wu slapped Wu Yong on the back, "You little brat, don't even think about hitting on her! I still have a use for her!"

"I didn't, Father, I really didn't!"

Shopkeeper Wu didn't believe his nonsense. He kept thinking about how to contact Miss Jiang and buy more hot pot and compressed biscuits!

You know, the master just ate a whole bag of beef hotpot and rewarded him with ten taels of silver!

He was told to buy some more, no matter what, as these things were precious on the way east!

He then took out the compressed biscuits, only to be scolded by his master as a fool for not knowing to buy more of such good stuff!

Well, thinking about it, I was really stupid. I didn't recognize the value of a gem. But who could have known that the whole county would be forced to move eastward one day!

That Miss Jiang is truly amazing!

It's easy to win her over; Ruyi Tower must keep Jiang Ranran under its control! In fact, the entire Jiang family should be under its control as well.

The Jiang family did indeed want to pledge allegiance to Ruyi Tower. At this moment, the Jiang family members were in a rather indescribable state.

Jiang Ranran had just entered the house when she was driven out by the stench. "Ugh!"

After a while, she forced herself to go inside, still feeling nauseous. "Father, Mother, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, what's wrong with you all?"

Apart from Jiang Jiman, the others all had red pimples all over their faces, not just on their faces, but on every exposed part of their bodies!

Some pimples were covered with a ring of white pus, while others had already ulcerated, looking utterly disgusting.

It smelled incredibly foul.

Although Jiang Jiman hadn't grown much, he wasn't much better off than them; every time he coughed, he coughed up blood!

He felt an excruciating pain in his throat, but everyone in the family except him was clueless, so he had to keep coming up with ideas. With a hoarse voice, he called out, "Mother."

Li gripped her sleeves tightly with both hands, not daring to scratch the blisters.

Hearing her third son call her name, she cried and said angrily, "Ranran, we're in this situation because of your sister! It's a good thing she's not my biological daughter, otherwise I would have been so angry I would have died!"

"Shh!"

Jiang Ranran and Jiang Jiman quickly shushed her, while Jiang Jiman immediately covered her mouth.

"How can you say something like that so casually?"

However, they did not know that Manager Wu was in the next room and had heard everything clearly!

Li's face also turned pale. She closed the door and began to curse in a low voice, "That bitch deliberately left your third brother the key to Lingxiao Tower, but she poisoned the food! We all became like this after eating that stuff!"

"You went to Lingxiao Tower? Are you preparing to retreat eastward with the village's group?"

Jiang Ranran didn't care how they were poisoned; she only cared about what would happen to her in the future!
