Chapter 320: You Better Behave Yourselves
Chapter 320: You Better Behave Yourselves "Thank you, Mother." Lu Sixing had been captured in a hurry and didn't have time to explain things to the two children. She was most worried about Xiaozhen and her younger brother. Now that she saw Xiaozhen was fine and had the chance to see the children again, her anxious heart finally settled. The Yuan family members were listening to their conversation and were somewhat stunned. What did this mean? This little Girl from the Lu family knows the county magistrate? The old lady quickly called out to her husband, "In-law, do you know when we can leave?" The old lady turned her head abruptly and looked at her angrily, "Don't call me In-law. Look at what you've done to my granddaughter. And you still blame my daughter. I haven't even mentioned how well your son has behaved and how he got my daughter locked up here. You dare to hit my daughter's granddaughter, and I'm still giving you face?" The old lady wasn't pleased with the Yuan family. The village chief, Chen, who had been silent all this time, glared at her, "Enough, just shut up. This whole thing has nothing to do with the Lu family. If it weren't for this girl from the Lu family, do you think you would be in such a comfortable situation? Those who were captured are locked up in the prison, and yet you're sitting here in this clean room. Do you think someone is giving you face? Don't be ungrateful." The old lady was somewhat afraid of Village Chief Chen. Village Chief Chen couldn't be bothered with arguing with a woman. He turned to Mr. Yuan, "This is the situation. For now, you can only stay here temporarily. We'll wait until we find Yuan Shanchuan. I hope Yuan Shanchuan hasn't done anything wrong, and I hope you all can return home safely. As for your house, I'll take care of arranging things when I go back. There's nothing to worry about." Mr. Yuan was still a bit fearful, "Will we be in danger here? Will the officials beat us or use torture to extract confessions?" Hu Li sneered, "What are you thinking? If they wanted to use torture, they would have done so during the interrogation earlier. Do you think they would tarnish the officials' reputation by doing it here?" "No, no, we didn't mean that, sir. We..." Village Chief Chen sighed, "Alright, whatever the officials ask, just answer honestly. And don't blame Lu Shi anymore. She is the most innocent one here. If you cause any more trouble, you'll be stuck here for the rest of your lives." After saying that, Village Chief Chen cast a meaningful glance at the old lady. Mr. Yuan and his three sons quickly responded, "No, we will behave ourselves." Village Chief Chen had no more words to say. With Hu Li present, he had said enough, and saying more might provoke further thoughts. So after briefing the Yuan family, he waited on the side. Shu Yu didn't have much to say. The old lady and Xiaozhen didn't know what to say either. In this situation, anything they said would be inappropriate. Lu Sixing held their hands and reluctantly let go after a long time. She said to them, "Mother, Xiaozhen, Yu, you should leave. I will take care of myself." Xiaozhen's eyes welled up with tears again. She had cried too much today, and her eyes were swollen. Lu Sixing choked back her tears and instructed her, "You must listen to your grandma, take care of your little brother, and wait obediently at home for Mom and Dad to come back, okay?" "Yes, I will, Mother." Reluctantly, the group finally left the room. The sunlight outside was intense, but in the hearts of the old lady and the others, it felt cold and gloomy. After walking a distance, the old lady looked back once and then lowered her head, pulling Shu Yu aside.
