Chapter 168 That woman from the Hu family is the most despicable.
His eyes were horribly red.
It looks like blood will start to drip at any moment.
Xiao Yuxi clung tightly to Yao Chuan's neck, shrinking back into his arms.
"You took my identity and incited the Mu family to kill everyone who knew your identity. Third Sister and Mother must have been killed by your Mu family!" After the last blow, Daya had a dream.
In her dream, she was taken back by the Mu family. Although she wasn't as favored as the third young master of the Mu family, she had everything she should have.
She grew up like a noble lady in the capital, with everything done for her, and many young men from prominent families courting her.
She should be like this!
She should be taken back by the Mu family!
She should be the one favored by the Mu family!
Why was it Er Ya who got picked up?!
Daya's memories were in complete disarray.
But there was only one thing they were certain of: she was the Mu family's cousin, and Er Ya had stolen her identity!
These thoughts filled Daya's mind, and she became completely out of control after Erya was taken away. She would say nonsensical things every day, and sometimes she would even call out the names of the emperor and the empresses in the palace. This frightened the village chief so much that he had people lock her in the cellar with iron chains.
If it weren't for someone's special arrangement, she would never have been able to leave that cellar.
"No," Xiao Yuxi mustered her courage to retort, "Third Sister is perfectly fine!"
"Liar!" Daya shouted, struggling to grab her, but Mu Yunchen kicked her away.
The parrot, which had been perched on Mu Yunchen's shoulder, suddenly flew into a rage and lost its footing, shouting in the air, "You're sick! You're sick!"
"Bad guy! Bad guy!" The parrot flapped its wings and slapped her hard across the face.
Bad guys who bully little girls!
"I heard that the Hu family used to abuse the Mu family's cousin to the point of death. General Mu was in a hurry to take her back to the capital for medical treatment and was unable to punish the Hu family."
"That woman from the Hu family is the worst. She stole a lot of the grain that the court distributed for disaster relief! She's so unreasonable."
"It seems like it's been a while since I've seen that woman from the Hu family. What's wrong with her? She always speaks louder than anyone else when she goes shopping."
"I heard they went to the capital to ask the Mu family for money. Sigh, I wonder if they died on the way."
Granny Hu already had many enemies, and the fact that the Mu family had taken her adopted daughter away in such a grand manner made her even more famous in this small county.
Almost every household knows her.
Most people were just watching the show.
Only a very small number of uninformed people felt that the Mu family had gone too far, letting a little boy kick a little girl. It was simply bullying.
Daya couldn't help but cry out. In her memory, although the Third Young Master was more favored by the Old Madam, the Old Madam would always ask the Third Young Master to be more tolerant of whatever she did.
She had never suffered such injustice, neither in her dreams nor in reality.
Daya cried for a long time, and seeing that no one came to help her, she felt even more aggrieved. Looking at Erya, who was being held tightly in someone's arms, she felt even more that Erya had stolen her identity.
Xie Yaochuan, however, did not want to listen to these pointless words outside any longer, so he turned around and led Mu Yunchen, who still wanted to hit someone, into the magistrate's mansion by the collar.
They threw him directly to the ground.
Mu Yunchao stood up, baring his teeth and glaring at him fiercely, "What are you doing!"
"Calm down, do you really want to beat someone to death in the street?" Xie Yaochuan said calmly.
Mu Yunchao was startled when his secret was exposed, and turned his head away angrily.
After a long pause, he slowly muttered, "You simply couldn't understand."
Xie Yaochuan watched his retreating figure as he ran back to the cabin; his entire back view screamed anger.
He shook his head helplessly. Of course he knew that Mu Yunchen's legs were crippled in his memory.
Looking at it now, it's probably related to this person.
He also has memories of the past...
Xie Yaochuan suddenly remembered that he had always felt that Mu Yunchao was a bit strange, but now it seemed that the people in the Mu family were acting completely differently from what he remembered.
That cloud-like garment...
Xiao Yuxi patted Yao Chuan's face with her little hand, as Yao Chuan was lost in thought.
Xie Yaochuan suddenly snapped out of his daze and looked at Xiao Yuxi.
Xiao Yuxi looked at him with a hint of grievance, tears welling up in her eyes, and asked in a slightly tearful voice, "Where's the candied hawthorn that Brother Yaochuan promised to bring for Xixi?"
She was well-behaved all day, and didn't make a fuss even when she was bullied, because her brother Yaochuan told her before he left that if she behaved well, he would bring her a candied hawthorn skewer when he came back.
Can……
The brother's hands were empty.
Xie Yaochuan patted the little girl's head reassuringly, "Wait, brother will buy you more..."
Xie Yaochuan's leg, which was trying to go back, abruptly stopped in mid-air.
Even from the magistrate's residence, he could still hear the girl's wailing outside, which made him pinch his brow in exasperation.
"Let's eat tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yuxi pouting, not making a fuss, just quietly looking at him, silently shedding tears.
Xie Yaochuan's heart softened suddenly, "Brother can do it."
Xie Yaochuan was kept from leaving the magistrate's mansion by the wailing of the eldest daughter of the Hu family for three days. He also had to hold onto Mu Yunchen to prevent him from suddenly losing his temper and beating her to death in public.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she was escorted away from the county town amidst Shen Zhijie's smiling face.
"Don't worry, Lord Xie. This kind of person who is so foolish as to disturb your peace will not live past the fourth day."
Shen Zhijie's words were full of profound meaning.
Xie Yaochuan naturally understood the meaning behind his words.
This person must have been deliberately brought in by Shen Zhijie to annoy people.
Since he obediently left, then that person no longer needs to exist.
Xie Yaochuan chuckled lightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "That person is very annoying. I don't want to see her again next time."
"Don't worry, Lord Xie."
The carriage returned to the capital along the same route. Once it reached the official road, Xie Yaochuan, seeing that the spies who had been following them had left, gave the order, "Go to Peiji City."
He had inquired and found out that Peiji City was where Princess Lian'an's residence was located.
Since he was being watched closely and couldn't do anything there, he might as well come to Princess Lian'an's place to find out what was going on.
Xiao Yuxi is holding a candy jar and eating candy earnestly.
Xie Yaochuan watched as she carefully licked off the syrup that stuck to her hands, and then cautiously took out a new piece of candied hawthorn.
That was the spoils he had spent an entire day making.
The little girl swallowed it in one gulp, her cheeks bulging out.
Very cute.
Xie Yaochuan's eyes dimmed slightly.
If his child with Yunshang were to be born, it would surely be just as adorable.
Lady Yun was somewhat surprised to see him looking so lost in thought. He was never like this before; he seemed to be hating his own powerlessness.
