Chapter 628: Banquet Invitation
As Mrs. Xie thought about these things, her smile became even more sincere. Seeing Chu Liushi and the others bowing, she quickly had someone come forward to help them up, "Old Madam, please don't stand on ceremony. I'm here to bring you good news."
"The Wang family has been suppressed, and all members of the Wang family have been imprisoned in the dungeon."
"In the future, you don't need to worry about your safety anymore." Mrs. Xie said sincerely.
Qian clapped her chest when she heard this, "Really? That's great! County Magistrate Xu is indeed efficient. Landlords who don't value human life should be dealt with directly. Otherwise, more people will suffer in the future."
"Qian is right. There won't be a Landlord Wang in Nanchang County anymore."
Chu Liushi didn't think that the matter could be resolved just because of the county magistrate. If that were the case, it should have been resolved long ago. How could it be that even the third daughter-in-law could be taken away from the county office? It shows that the county office is not safe either.
"Thank you for your help, Madam." Chu Liushi also bowed, implying that she attributed all the credit to the Xie family.
Ye Muyu also spoke up, "Thank you, Madam, for protecting our family. We can't repay this favor. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, Madam."
Although she knew that the matter could be resolved quickly thanks to Chu Heng and Ye Zhao, she couldn't say that now. Judging from Mrs. Xie's attitude, the Xie family could be on good terms. Since they were going to be on good terms, the gratitude owed should be repaid.
Mrs. Xie was slightly surprised, but seeing the sincere gaze in their eyes, the slight worry in her heart disappeared. These villagers weren't as difficult to get along with as she had imagined.
"Old Madam, Madam Ye, you've been too serious. This time, the matter of dealing with the Wang family was also thanks to Master Chu and Captain Ye. My Xie family didn't contribute much."
"Why don't you all stay for dinner tonight? Consider it as my thanks for your help. You mustn't refuse. It's already late and it's better to wait until the county town is stable tomorrow before leaving. Who knows if there might be any escaped members of the Wang family? If you stay at the Xie family, those small fries definitely wouldn't dare to act recklessly." Mrs. Xie was usually proud, but for those who sincerely accepted her, she would also treat them sincerely. She hadn't planned to say these words originally.
But seeing that Chu Liushi, Ye Muyu, and the others were not greedy and even had their own pride she admired them a bit and hoped to interact with them more in the future.
Naturally, she didn't want any of them to get into trouble.
So, she added a few more words of advice.
Ye Muyu knew that Mrs. Xie made sense, but with the elders present, she naturally wouldn't make decisions on her own. She glanced at Chu Liushi and asked for her opinion.
Chu Liushi smiled lightly, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but the other family members at home will definitely worry..."
"That's simple. I'll send a servant to inform them and tell them not to worry."
Since Mrs. Xie said so, if Chu Liushi refused again, it would be somewhat impolite. So she nodded in agreement and didn't refuse again.
"Don't worry, we'll also invite General Shen Xiao, Captain Ye, and County Magistrate Xu to the banquet tonight. But as for Master Chu, I haven't received any news from him yet, so I don't know where he is..." Mrs. Xie was afraid that they would be nervous, so she explained in more detail. Seeing Chu Liushi's worried expression, she clearly misunderstood, so she added quickly, "Old Madam, don't worry. Although I haven't received any news from Master Chu, my third son said that Master Chu is very safe, he might not come back and will go directly to the prefectural city for the exam."
"Speaking of which, my third son will also set off in a few days. This matter has been delayed for too long, and it's less than a month before the provincial exam."
