Chapter 622: Ambition

However, thinking about the current situation where the Wang family clashed with the county office, she couldn't help but feel relieved. She wasn't afraid of wicked people, she was afraid that the other party would be both wicked and cautious.

"You, child, are really bold." Qian looked at the small knife and listened to her recount what happened after she was abducted, unable to help but sigh.

In fact, Ye Muyu knew some self-defense techniques. It was not safe for girls to be out alone, but when there were too many people, her self-defense skills were not very effective. Therefore, it was still necessary to prepare some self-defense items.

At this moment, Ye Muyu felt like the plot had deviated from her expectations. How could a well-behaved scholar's wife offend someone so easily and end up nearly losing her life?

This showed that in this era, status also meant having a strong ability to protect oneself.

Ye Muyu suddenly felt a bit envious of the Xie family and also developed a goal of becoming stronger.

Leaving aside how big their mansion was and how well they lived, even now, she could only ensure the safety of herself and her children by staying at someone else's house, while the Xie family could remain unaffected. Despite knowing that there were skilled thieves in Landlord Wang's house, they were not worried. This showed their confidence.

This was the foundation. The Chu family couldn't achieve it in a short time, but there must be someone to be the first.

"So, are we going to stay at the Xie family's house all the time? Will our family worry about us?" Chu Liushi had wanted to leave a long time ago but she didn't know if it was safe, so she wouldn't risk her life.

Having stayed until now, she felt a bit flustered.

Ye Muyu reassured her, "Mother, I've already sent someone back to explain the situation. I considered this earlier, so Dad must have received the message by now. Don't worry."

"That's good, at least there's some assurance."

"Oh no, what about Ah Xing?" Qian slapped her forehead, suddenly remembering that their youngest son hadn't returned yet.

Ye Muyu was taken aback, "He didn't come to the Xie family with us?"

"No, he went to find you two hours ago. I thought he went to the bookstore later, so I didn't ask further."

"This child is usually quite clever. How come he can't even find someone now?"

"Qian, don't worry. I'll ask Han Zhuang to find him." After saying this, Ye Muyu got up and went to find Han Zhuang.

Both Liu Hai and Han Zhuang had come to the Xie family's house. Now that someone was missing at home, it was necessary to send someone to look for them.

Liu Hai stayed behind while Han Zhuang went to find Ah Xing.

Although Qian was somewhat worried, she still trusted her own son. If he couldn't find anyone, he could definitely protect himself. Moreover, someone was already looking for him. Although she was worried, she didn't show it and instead comforted Chu Liushi and Ye Muyu not to worry.

Chu Liushi felt a little guilty, "If I had known, I would have stopped Ah Xing. Although Ye Muyu has someone to protect her, Ah Xing is alone."

"Third sister-in-law, don't say that. Muyu is a woman, and those hired by Han Zhuang are just paid help, not family. Even if something happened to Muyu, even if it were other women in the clan, Ah Xing should go. Just like if there were girls in our family in trouble, you wouldn't just stand by." Qian was very insightful and valued the benefits of family members. It was not surprising that she said this. After all, it was a deeply ingrained ideology in rural areas.

Chu Liushi lightly patted her hand, "No matter what, this time we've troubled you."

"Why talk like that? We're all family." Qian had learned a lot this time. Thinking that if their family didn't work hard, they might accidentally offend a wealthy businessman or a powerful figure and even lose their peaceful days, she felt a deep sense of crisis. She valued Chu Heng's imperial exam even more.
