Others may not understand Lao Luo's suffering, but the people here can empathize with him.

The Chen family had just been transferred to a different position, which could also be attributed to their connections, so Zhu was hesitant to speak up.

"The Yao family's daughter whispered in my ear, and Young Master Ma did my family a great favor. Before the Chen family's niece came here, she forced the Yao couple to kneel down and apologize. The couple harbored resentment and didn't want her to settle down and live a peaceful life, so they asked me to do some things..."

"I have nothing to hide. As long as I'm here, I won't allow this outsider to stay," Old Luo said through gritted teeth.

Chen Ying couldn't stand it anymore and stood up: "Uncle Luo! The Yao family schemed against Ali, stole her things, and bullied her. It's only right that they kneel down! But now you're helping them pressure Ali. Do you want her to be all alone and have nowhere to go?! Aren't you being a little too cruel?!"

A hint of reluctance also appeared on Lao Luo's face.

He's not that kind of person.

but……

“If I were on the battlefield, I couldn’t tolerate my child framing others like this. But my son is risking his life in the army right now. What if I don’t stand with the Yao family and end up killing him?!” Old Luo’s chin trembled slightly. “I’ve never done anything like this in my life. I know it’s immoral, but I have no choice!”

"I've treated you all well over the years, and I haven't wronged any of you. Even if I have to swallow my pride and beg you all to come here today, for the sake of my son and me... drive her away!"

"Miss Ali, I'm sorry for what I did. If you want to hold a grudge, take it out on me!"

Luo was extremely determined.

Li Shu also understood.

The old Luo in front of me is a kind-hearted person here. He is popular and has good relationships with people. He has his requests, and he won't listen to others.

Li Shu didn't force anyone to make decisions for her; she simply asked softly, "Have you received a letter from home? Are you sure your son is safe with Ma Chengting?"

"What do you mean by that?" Old Luo suddenly looked up at her. "The Yao family didn't lie to me. Ma Chengtin did indeed transfer my son to his side, and he's even in the reserve force of the Poshan Army!"

"The Broken Mountain Army?" Li Shu listened, becoming even calmer.

"As far as I know, the Broken Mountain Army is the elite of the army, three thousand men, each one a cut above the rest. They were selected from among thousands of soldiers, and those waiting to be selected first joined the reserve army, right?"

“That’s right.” Old Luo nodded.

“The Ma family is no ordinary family. Captain Ma only sent Ma Chengting to the battlefield now, surely to make him meritorious and kill the enemy. Now your son is staying with him in the reserve army... I think you should consider how long he can live?” Li Shu said sarcastically. “Because of the Ma family, will those who are selected along the way be treated politely? Calling him the reserve army is more like calling him Ma Chengting’s lackey.”

“The Ma family will never give him the chance to rise to prominence by stepping on Young Master Ma,” Li Shu added.

Would Captain Ma be willing to see a young man under his care be better than his son?

Will not.

Given Ma Chengting's personality, he would also arrogantly treat Lao Luo's son as his own possession.

She knows this feeling all too well.

These words startled everyone and also reminded Lao Luo.

Old Luo was a little nervous: "No, Captain Ma is from Ganhe Town after all. We're all from the same hometown and have settled here! Besides, Captain Ma is a righteous person. Two years ago, your uncle saved him, and he promised you a marriage contract with the Ma family. With a father like him, his son will definitely be a loyal and righteous person and will take good care of my son!"

Li Shu seemed to have heard a joke.

She couldn't help but laugh: "Loyal and righteous? If that were the case, would I be the one being hunted down and killed by you all by now?"

"..." Old Luo's throat tightened.

“I have no grudge against you, and I have no past grievances with you. Your misery and pitifulness are not caused by me, but my situation is your doing. As far as I am concerned, you are wrong, and I should not be the one to back down and let your conspiracy succeed!” Li Shu said without any politeness. “I will not leave. I heard that the rule here is to see who has the stronger fist, so you are welcome to come and find me with your weapon and see if your weapon is harder or my bones are harder.”

"..." Old Luo's heart tightened.

Rumor has it that she is a weak person.

But now, she stands there, refusing to budge an inch.

Luo knew he was wrong, but he had no choice.

Li Shu knew that the other party had no choice, but what did it have to do with her? She would never wrong herself for the sake of other people's suffering.

The scene froze for a moment.

It was very dark, but many people came after hearing the sound, making the area almost as bright as day.

Li Shu walked up to the sacred tree, picked up the bow and arrow that had been hanging on it that day, wiped the wooden plaque, and tied it to the end of the arrow.

She calmly walked to a spot, drew her bow, raised her hand, aimed at the most conspicuous position on the high ground, and simply shot it directly! With a whooshing sound, the arrowhead firmly pierced the tree, as if nailing the wooden sign to both ends, making it impossible to move it even an inch.

This move shocked everyone.

“Look, the ancestors of Wuzhuang are all on my side.” Li Shu laughed, his voice clear and unrestrained.

Duan Changdong and the others were completely dumbfounded.

In an instant, goosebumps rose all over my body.

At this moment, they even doubted whether this was still the lie they had agreed to... How did this little sister, Ali, suddenly become so powerful?! Could it really be the protection of their ancestors?!

"Didn't you say your cousin was weak and pitiful, unable to even kill a chicken?!" Chang Fa grabbed Chen Feiqing by the neck, his emotions running high.

That arrow was really sharp!

"I...I didn't lie to you, did I?" Chen Feiqing's voice trembled. "She...she really...doesn't understand these things..."

If he understood, would his cousin have been bullied by the Li family for so many years?

Moreover, she couldn't practice this skill under the watchful eyes of the Li family!

“I know!” Chen Ying said solemnly. “I think it’s because General Nie has accepted her! Didn’t she say that General Nie appeared in her dream and taught her some skills?”

"..." Duan Changdong opened his mouth, looking at Chen Ying with a helpless expression, "This is what we did before..."

"Otherwise, how do you explain it? Some things can be lied about, but real skills can't be faked!" Chen Ying quickly stomped on Duan Changdong's foot. "My cousin is someone who escaped death. She suffered so much before she could live a peaceful life. Even her ancestors couldn't bear to see her suffer and wanted to take care of her. Anyone who dares to say she's lying, I'll make their life difficult!"

"I didn't say she was lying, after all, we don't have archery skills like that either." Duan Changdong's feet were covered in dust, and he recoiled in pain.

“Wu Tou, you said before that no one should mess with the sacred tree. Uncle Luo is pitiful, but he's wrong! He even wants to drive Ali away, which is unreasonable!” Chen Ying also felt sorry for the Luo family, but thinking of Ali's smile just now, she became even more worried, so she asked again, “Tell me, whose side are you on?!”
