Chapter 621: Staying at the Xie Residence
She directly whipped the bailiff and gave him a beating.
Upon hearing this news, County Magistrate Xu's face turned livid with anger, and he shouted, "Quickly arrest this troublemaker for me!"
The steward hurriedly called for people to apprehend her. Hearing the County Magistrate using the term "troublemaker." it was evident that he was very angry.
Soon enough, Wang Yan was thrown into the prison.
Although she had some maids and even guards by her side, they were no match for the bailiffs.
The sky grew darker and the rain fell harder.
Ye Muyu was preparing to go to the Xie residence to pick someone up.
The steward of the Xie mansion hurried over with a carriage.
"Lady Chu, the Third Young Master asked this servant to come and fetch you. Hurry, close the door and come to the Xie residence first."
"What happened?" Ye Muyu didn't delay either. She packed some luggage and called the bookstore owner, then went to the Xie mansion.
As for the arrangements made by Steward Luo, Ye Muyu didn't need to worry at all.
After Ye Muyu got on the carriage, the steward instructed the coachman to drive.
After some thought, he realized that this matter was somewhat related to Master Chu Heng, so didn't seem right to keep it from Lady Chu.
So he directly revealed the bottom line: "News from the county office said that Second Young Master of the Wang family is related to the largest bandit den outside the city. If news of Master Wang's troubles spreads, there might be trouble."
Ye Muyu was startled. She had thought that even if there were bandits in this era, they wouldn't be bold enough to directly confront the government. Wasn't that seeking death?
But from what Steward Xie said, it was clear that there were wealthy merchants who maintained bandit dens, and they were even bold enough to directly confront the county office.
"Steward Xie, are you suggesting that these bandits might directly attack the county town?"
"There is a possibility, but it probably isn't what Madam is thinking." Seeing Ye Muyu's expression of extreme doubt, Steward Xie smiled knowingly, his expression quite serious. "Even if Master Wang is audacious, he wouldn't dare to bear the blame for raising private soldiers or keeping bandits. However, he might replace those bandits with his own guards. As long as the number doesn't exceed the limit set by the court, it wouldn't constitute a crime. In this way, the guards of the Wang family would be formidable, and even the bailiffs in the county office might not be able to handle them. But don't worry, Madam, the Xie family still has the ability to protect itself. Before Master Chu Heng left, he entrusted the Third Young Master to take care of Madam and the young master if anything happened. Madam just needs to rest assured in the Xie residence."
After arriving at the Xie mansion, Steward Xie arranged for people to escort Ye Muyu to the guest room, where Chu Liushi and others were already waiting.
Seeing Ye Muyu, Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo's eyes turned red, and they ran over to hug her legs. "Mother, you're safe. It's so good, sob..."
Chu Jin wiped away his tears, and although Chu Ziluo managed to hold back, she was also in a state of restrained tears.
"Mother, you're finally back. I was so worried."
"Don't be afraid. Mother won't let anything happen to herself." Ye Muyu hurriedly comforted the two children.
Qian pulled Ye Muyu to sit on a stool.
The two children followed by her side.
Chu Liushi poured her a cup of hot tea before asking for details, "What happened exactly? Han Zhuang came back in the morning and said you were fine."
"I've been on edge the whole time, afraid that something would happen to you. I've never seen you so bold before." Ye Muyu felt a little guilty as she touched her nose. "Mother, before I came, I thought something might happen, so I made some preparations in advance."
"You see." Ye Muyu said, taking out a small knife, antidotes, and other items.
"Even the laxative you gave me, I've kept it properly but I didn't have a chance to use it." Ye Muyu felt somewhat regretful. She wished she could make those wicked thieves experience the same feeling of fear and anxiety.
