"Ms. Song, if I were to work with you, I would definitely be as happy as Luo Mingyue and the others."
Song Tingran remained silent. She saw a fleeting light in Lu Zhong's eyes.
Lu Zhong gritted his teeth, and soon, like Yong'er, he spit out blood and passed away.
He committed suicide.
He already had poison in his mouth, and he persisted until now just to ask Song Tingran to save Lu Wang.
"Miss Song, be careful of traps." Chen Xiangyuan reminded.
"Well, I promised him that after the matter is successful, I will help him save his brother. We'll see what happens to his brother then."
The two of them left the pine forest immediately. The road was too difficult to walk on. Their shoes were dirty with dust and green juice from grass and trees.
The husbands and children of the Song family were waiting at the door, and Song Tingran walked over with a smile.
"You should all know that mother is going to Shengjing City. This time she is not going to travel for fun, and it will take some time for her to come back."
Song Tingran squatted down and explained to the cubs in a soft voice. Even though she knew that Shi Yan must have comforted them, she was still a little worried and even more reluctant.
Who knows if I can come back this time, or where I can return to.
Song Leyu was very sensible. With red eyes, she tried to comfort Song Tingran instead.
"Mother, go and do your important work without worry. I will take good care of my brothers and sisters. Don't worry about anything."
"Okay, Xiaoyu is the older sister, and An'an, you two are the oldest children in the family, you should set an example for your younger brothers and sisters."
Shi Le'an also tightly grasped Song Tingran's hand and nodded heavily, more solemnly than making a birthday wish.
The cubs said goodbye one by one, and Shi Yan asked, "Wife, when are you leaving so we can pack up."
"Now."
“So fast?” Shi Yan took half a step forward and paused with great emphasis.
Song Tingran nodded. Things had come to this point and they could no longer sit and wait for death.
Qiao Jinshu was unhappy and stomped his feet and left. Xiao Yuchen called him, but he didn't turn back.
Sang Cheng: "My dear wife, please come back soon. We will listen to our eldest brother at home."
Each of the husbands seemed to have something to say, and Song Tingran didn't want to waste any more time. If this continued, she would keep making demands and would never be able to leave the house.
"I'll be back as soon as possible, Yuchen, help me tie up the carriage, I'm leaving now, no need to pack."
"Yeah." Xiao Yuchen agreed and went through the small door.
Chen Xiangyuan's men were already prepared. All the corpses were made to look like they had taken poison. Even if a professional coroner from the government office came to examine them, they would not be able to find any trace of poison.
"Shi Yan, go ask Village Chief Zhou to meet you at the entrance of the village and explain the situation in general."
"Yes, my wife." Shi Yan ran away.
The gate of the fruit and vegetable garden was pushed open, and Qiao Jinshu walked out holding Zhiyi's hand, and Xiao Yuchen followed.
"Jinshu, we're not going out to play this time, so I'm not taking you with me." Song Tingran was afraid that he would get angry and didn't want to make him sad.
"I know. My elder brother has told me that you should go and come back sooner rather than later. Otherwise, if I could run from Shiqing Village to Daniu Village, I could also run from Daniu Village to Shengjing City. No one could stop me."
Qiao Jinshu didn't want to look at Song Tingran, fearing that he couldn't stop crying, so he pretended to be indifferent and looked away.
Song Tingran grabbed his hand and said, "I know you are powerful and can go anywhere. No one can stop you. But this time, you have to listen to Shi Yan and do what he says."
"Then I'll take my big brother with me!"
Qiao Jinshu finally turned around to look at Song Tingran, and burst into tears in an instant. Xiao Yuchen felt sad as well, but did not cry as hard. He just stood there silently with his head down.
Song Tingran looked around and saw that everyone was in a low mood. Her desire to resolve the problem and return safely reached its peak.
"I'll be back," she said solemnly.
"Well, I've just learned some new shadow puppetry. When you come back, we can watch it together as a family. I think I can even set up a stall and maybe even open a shop specializing in shadow puppetry."
Song Tingran hugged Qiao Jinshu, then hugged Xiao Yuchen, and then hugged them one by one. Then he saw that Shi Yan had already returned, and Village Chief Zhou had almost arrived at the village entrance.
"Okay, everyone go home, I'm leaving, I will take care of myself, and so will you."
There was a lot of crying, and Song Tingran felt heavy-hearted and thought she was dead.
"Shi Yan, close the door. You can open it after a cup of tea."
Shi Yan could hardly make a sound. He nodded, grabbed the door handle, and slowly closed it. When there was only a crack left, he closed it resolutely, then leaned against the door to prevent anyone from going out.
"Chen Xiangyuan, get your people out, and let's go."
"it is good."
Chen Xiangyuan gave a signal towards the pine forest, and his men immediately came out pushing wooden carts.
Each wooden cart was filled with the bodies of those people, covered with linen, and Chen Xiangyuan's men also changed into regular clothes and no longer wore the night clothes they wore when they were spying.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw Village Chief Zhou walking back and forth anxiously.
"Village Chief Zhou, get in the car and we'll talk on the way."
"Good good."
Chen Xiangyuan was driving the carriage, and Song Tingran was talking to Village Chief Zhou in the carriage. Some of their words were true, some were false, but she believed them all.
"Miss Song, what you said really scares me. Such a big thing happened after I took the villagers away. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Village Chief Zhou covered his chest with his hand.
"I was really scared too. I have a child at home. Fortunately, there were distant relatives from the Duke's Mansion, so I was able to escape danger. Otherwise, whether you can see me now is a big deal."
Chen Xiangyuan's carriage was driving very fast. Song Tingran had been riding in carriages for many years, so she felt a little dizzy.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the yamen gate.
Chen Xiangyuan was beating the drum at the door, accompanied by Song Tingran and Village Chief Zhou. The carts of corpses covered with cloth behind him had already attracted onlookers.
Even if they didn't beat the drum to complain, it would have attracted the attention of the officers who were patrolling the road on a daily basis.
In the government office, the county magistrate sat upright with dark circles under his eyes. He must have been too busy recently and hadn't had enough rest.
"Sir, late last night, Yong'er, who was rescued by me before, suddenly went out in the middle of the night. Because he is not as smart as ordinary people, I went out with my distant relatives to check on him. Unexpectedly, he suddenly became poisoned and vomited blood. Then, Lu Zhong, who rescued him before, turned the tables and said that I opened the shelter not to save people, but to abuse people. Many people in the village heard the noise and came. Then a group of officials came and wanted to take me away. I found that the leading official was very unfamiliar. I exposed their identities. They were not from the county magistrate's office or the prefectural government, but from the prime minister of Shengjing City."
