Chapter 876: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 876: Kneeling in Confusion
Following closely behind Da Bao and Da Hu, Er Niu and Lan Hua rushed in from outside, followed by Li Shi.
As soon as the news reached the village chief, it naturally reached the people in the main branch as well.
Therefore, when Da Hu and the others were halfway to Lu Dasong's house, they encountered Li Shi and the others who were coming this way. They turned around immediately.
Li Shi had been particularly frustrated during this period of time. How much damage had the second Branch caused to their family? Not to mention Er Niu and Lan Hua, even she herself had quarreled with her natal family because of this, growing distant from her husband and children.
If only the people from the second branch were here, she would have already gone to their door to reason with them.
But today, she heard from her daughter-in-law's natal family that the runaway girl might bring trouble to the entire Lu family, and her hatred towards Shu Yu reached its peak.
If Lu Dasong hadn't forbidden her from leaving the house, saying that second Zhou's wife was talking nonsense, she would have already run to the county town to find out.
Who would have expected that the damned girl not only went to find Da Niu, but now she even boldly returned to the village.
Li Shi's anger reached its peak, and she didn't even care about maintaining her image anymore. With a fierce expression, she rushed over to hold Shu Yu accountable.
She was walking so fast that even Lan Hua almost couldn't catch up.
At this moment, the courtyard of Lu Erbai's house had calmed down. After sitting for a while, Xiang Weinan stood up and told Shu Yu not to rush around.
He straightened his clothes and said to everyone, "Alright, let's announce the imperial edict first, so that everyone knows what's going on and can stop worrying."
Village chief Fanzhong and the others quickly stood up and listened attentively to his words. However, after hearing it, they all froze.
"Im...imperial edict?"
What imperial edict? Why would there be an imperial edict here?
What qualifications did their small village of Shishi have to receive an imperial edict?
Everyone looked at each other, and their inner anxiety grew stronger.
However, Xiang Weinan didn't explain much. He just turned his head and glanced at Hu Li, who presented a delicate box.
Xiang Weinan respectfully took out the imperial edict from the box and said, "Lu Shu Yu, receive the imperial edict."
Shu Yu inwardly sighed and then solemnly knelt down.
The people of Shishi Village had never received an imperial edict before, so they were at a loss for the proper procedures. They were momentarily stunned.
But when Lu Erbai saw Shu Yu kneel down, he immediately knelt down with his wife, children, and mother.
Yuan Shanchuan had seen the world and quickly followed suit.
Lu Sanzhu, who had always looked up to Shu Yu, was clever and quickly knelt down as well.
Da Niu pulled Lu Dasong and followed suit, kneeling at the back with Zhou Qiao.
Seeing the people from the Lu family all kneeling on the ground, the villagers present still hadn't reacted.
It was Hu Li who coughed lightly and reminded Fan Zhongzheng, "Village Chief Fan, this is an imperial edict from the emperor. Seeing the imperial edict is like seeing the emperor..."
Before he could finish his words, Fan Zhong knelt down with a thud. It was too sudden, and he knelt down forcefully, feeling a searing pain in his knees.
But he didn't dare to make a sound and immediately lowered his head.
The others finally understood what they were facing. Their faces turned pale, and they all knelt down in a row, fearing that if they were even a step slower, the county magistrate would remember and hold them accountable later.
Li Shi happened to arrive at this moment. She had already rolled up her sleeves at the door, looking like she was going to demand justice.
But who would have expected that just as she was about to enter the courtyard, everyone in front suddenly knelt down in a flurry.
***her thoughts is really ridiculous, what ever happened to her family especially to her children is solely her fault, if she did not caused a fuss and controlled her big mouth everything will be alright.
