Chapter 624: Tearing Off the Facade
With Chu Liushi's intelligence, she must have guessed some of it, otherwise, she wouldn't have directly asked Ye Muyu. Ye Muyu thought to herself that having an elder in the family was like having a treasure. Elders usually had more insight, and if the younger generation were to hide things from them and not say anything, they would also feel hurt.
"It's the Wang family..." Ye Muyu whispered as she comforted the two children to sleep, explaining the situation.
The Xie family had thoughtfully prepared guest rooms for them. The two children were frightened and cried for a while, but they were now exhausted and fell asleep.
After hearing Ye Muyu's explanation, Chu Liushi and Qian were shocked speechless.
Chu Liushi was only surprised for a moment before calming down. She had heard about such matters when she was young, but at that time, her family had already fallen on hard times and her father felt that these matters were too distant from them and stopped paying attention to them.
Unexpectedly, now in middle age, they still had such blessings.
"We'll just stay quietly in the Xie Mansion. After this matter is over, we can send gifts to express our gratitude." Chu Liushi decided in one sentence.
Ye Muyu nodded. "Mother's thoughts are my thoughts."
"I'll have some tea first." Qian was still worried about Chu Xing in her heart, which was why she had been drinking tea all this time, suppressing her panic, especially after hearing what Ye Muyu said about possible chaos in the city. Those were bandits after all. She had initially thought there were only some guards from the Wang family but regardless as a small commoner she couldn't handle any of them.
"Bang, bang..." At this moment, there was a knocking sound at the door.
Ye Muyu got up, and Qian walked over first, only to see Chu Xing with a servant by his side.
"Xing?" Qian rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
Chu Xing was very happy to see his mother.
"Mother, Sister-in-law, Third Aunt." Chu Xing pointed to the servant beside him. "This is a servant sent by steward Luo to bring me here. He said if there were any orders, I could just ask him to do it."
"The steward of the Xie Mansion also asked the servant to bring me in."
"I'll be staying in the room behind you."
"Mother, I won't say much to you. There's a difference between men and women." Chu Xing touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. In the countryside, he didn't care about these rules, but the Xie family was strict and after being brought in, the servant reminded him to behave properly in someone else's home. Moreover, he could tell from the servant's words that it was a matter of etiquette ingrained in him. Hearing his words, Chu Xing gained more insight into the customs of wealthy families, which made him happy for broadening his horizons.
Qian immediately understood, after all she had just witnessed the grandeur of the Xie family. "Okay, okay, you go ahead."
Chu Xing didn't say much. He felt a bit uncomfortable and didn't want to embarrass himself by saying the wrong thing. It was easier to listen more and speak less.
"Old Madam, if you need anything, just tell us." The maid guarding the door reminded them.
Qian hurriedly said, "No need, no need."
The maid then retreated and didn't say much more.
Qian let out a sigh of relief, closed the door, and entered the room.
"Xing is back, let's just relax here." Qian said with a smile.
Seeing her demeanor, Chu Liushi smiled too. As long as Chu Xing was fine, she could rest assured.
Soon after.
At the county office.
Mr. Wang finally met County Magistrate Xu, but he was taken aback by a confession letter presented by the magistrate.
"Magistrate Xu, what are you doing!" Mr. Wang's face changed drastically as he asked ominously.
