Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently
Chapter 487 The Blame Taker
"This kid, you must be so happy, right? You just arrived in Jiangnan County, have you eaten yet? I asked the maid to ask the kitchen to make a few dishes for you."
After the favorability increased, Fan spoke much more gently to Yan Xia.
"Thank you for your concern, godmother. I ate some dry food in the carriage, so I'm not hungry. I'll come to your house tomorrow and have dinner with you."
"You kid, forget it. It's up to you. Tomorrow, Godmother will ask the kitchen to prepare a good meal for you to welcome us!"
Fan put his arm around Yan Xia’s shoulders.
The two were very close.
They look like mother and daughter.
Only Yan Xia herself knows.
She was thinking about something.
Half an hour later, the sky gradually darkened.
Yan Xia left Xu's house.
She walked farther and farther away from the sight of the gatekeeper until the Xu Mansion closed the door. Then Yan Xia walked into the deserted alley and flashed into space. She teleported to the blind spot behind Fan’s house and looked inside.
Originally, there were only Fan and two maids in the room.
There are almost ten more people now, and all the Xu family members have arrived, including their maids and servants.
"It turns out there are really night-shining pearls in this world. They are so beautiful. Mom, let me play with them tonight."
Xu Wenshan looked at the night pearl greedily.
"Let's talk about it later." Although Mrs. Fan loved her daughter, she did not agree.
This is the most precious treasure in the world, and she must hold it tightly in her hands.
"Mom, I always feel that something is wrong with what you just said." Unlike his sister, Xu Wenyan had a heavy face and seemed to be thinking about something.
"What's wrong? Yan is my goddaughter now. Don't do anything to her in private. She found this night pearl for me and was almost killed by a bad guy. Mother feels bad about it. Tomorrow I will ask the kitchen to prepare a good meal to entertain her. Don't always look stern when you see her in the future. Be polite."
Yan Xia didn't expect that after Fan's favorability increased, he actually started to speak for her.
Since his mother had spoken, Xu Wenyan, as a filial son, naturally did not dare to mention it again.
Several people were playing with the night pearls back and forth.
There was surprise and excitement in his eyes.
"We must not tell anyone else about the Night Pearl in our house. Let Yan Shi bear the grievance for a while. Don't worry, mother. I have investigated privately before. She often interacts with the family of Magistrate Lu of Jiashu County. No one can harm her. The officials will definitely protect her. And the rest of you, keep your mouths shut. If I find out, anyone who dares to gossip about her will be beaten to death!"
Yan Xia's expression was somewhat solemn.
Xu Wenyan actually investigated her privately.
"I'll listen to you." Fan agreed immediately. Although she liked Yan Xia, she was not as important as her own family.
Ninety points is not one hundred after all.
Yan Xia has been observing secretly.
Until the Xu family left Fan’s house.
Yan Xia then flashed outside Xu Wenshan's house.
After waiting for a while, the couple came back.
"My mother is so stingy. I begged her for a long time but she refused to give me the night pearl." Xu Wenshan was angry.
"Mom's things are yours. I will give them to you sooner or later. Don't be angry." Chen Shouguo comforted her.
"Miss, if you want to blame someone, you should blame that Yan. She is so ignorant. Why did she only give you one as a gift? The old lady just said that there were clearly two on the stall, so why didn't she buy one? I think she didn't intend to give it to you."
The maid Xiaoqing standing by was slandering Yan Xia in a flattering manner.
She was assigned to serve Xu Wenshan only a few years ago.
She was originally just a lowly maid who cleaned the house, but with her clever words, she was successfully promoted to a first-class maid in just a few months.
Sure enough, Xu Wenshan's expression changed and he began to curse Yan Xia.
"Humph, this damned woman is ugly and always likes to cling to my mother. I really hope she will be severely punished by those who are looking for the night pearl."
The style of the house changes.
They all started to curse Yan Xia.
Yan Xia's eyes outside the window were cold.
She said nothing.
Crouching and waiting for the opportunity.
After a while.
After the maid served Xu Wenshan, she left.
She walked towards the servants' quarters in the backyard.
Yan Xia hurried to follow.
Xiaoqing's room is a single room.
After all, she was a first-class maid, so her treatment was naturally different from that of the cleaning maid living in the eight-person room.
Just when she fell asleep, Yan Xia walked into the room, and the moment Xiaoqing woke up, she knocked her out with a knife, put her in the space, and then took out the jewelry she had stolen from Xu Wenshan, hid it under the maid's bed, and then flashed into the space and transported Xiaoqing out of the city. Fearing that her mental energy would be exhausted, she did not teleport to the mountains, but carried Xiaoqing up step by step.
Originally Yan Xia was still hesitant. After all, according to her plan, a servant in the Xu Mansion must suffer an unexpected disaster. Yan Xia did not want to kill an innocent person, so she planned to put the blame on Chen Shouguo.
But the maid's words and actions just now made her completely angry.
Yan Xia carried the maid to the mountains, threw her into a cave, and left.
It would take at least half a day to walk from the cave to the city gate.
When she returned to Jiangnan County, the city gate had just been closed, but it had nothing to do with her as she would never pass through the city gate.
Yan Xia was teleported to the street through space.
She changed her clothes and went to the alley where there was a teahouse on the second floor. She pretended to talk to someone but actually revealed the secret by talking to herself.
"Hey, have you heard? The Night Pearl is really in the hands of Yan, the shopkeeper of Yan's Pastry Shop, but she found the Night Pearl to give to Madam Xu!"
"What? Is this true? How did you know?" Yan Xia pinched her nose and changed her tone.
She stood in the dark. People in the teahouse on the second floor stretched their heads to look, but they couldn't see how many people there were, as it was pitch black down there.
"Of course I know. My master has bribed a maid in the Xu Mansion a long time ago. I know everything about the Xu Mansion. I heard that our county magistrate's brother-in-law is a henpecked husband. He is especially afraid of his wife! That's right, as a deserter, he has to please his wife, otherwise he would have been punished by military law."
"Ah? Deserter? He is actually a deserter? Oh my God, I heard that deserters must be executed, but he is safe and sound. It turns out that he hooked up with the county magistrate's sister. The county magistrate's hand is really deep."
Yan Xia stopped there and continued talking as she walked, her voice becoming quieter and quieter until she disappeared into the alley.
The people in the teahouse on the second floor became unusually quiet.
Jiangnan County has a rich nightlife.
So even though the city gates were closed, the teahouse was still full of people.
Yan Xia flashed to the brothel again, and the cat was outside the largest box on the third floor, repeating what she had just said.
But she made a slight change.
So as not to expose the secret.
"Let me tell you something. My master just got the news that the Night Pearl is no longer in the hands of Yan, the owner of Yan's Pastry Shop. She gave the Night Pearl to Magistrate Xu's mother! I heard it with my own ears."
"Ah? Really fake?"
"Of course it's true. Do you remember the theft at the Xu Mansion? It was done by my master. Xu Wenyan is a bad guy and a corrupt official. My master's family was badly harmed, so he came all the way from the Imperial City to seek revenge on him. My master bribed the servants at the Xu Mansion to cause the theft. Oh, and he bribed quite a few maids as well. This news was revealed to my master by one of the maids just now."
