Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Chapter 93 Breaking into Lu's House at Night

"Sister, what good fortune has the Lu family had recently?" Lin Yunmu's eyes flashed with greed, "I heard that there have been many guests visiting during this period, and they have brought many valuable gifts."

Hearing this, Lin Yunhua was filled with rage: "Don't mention it. Originally, his house was mortgaged to ours, and I thought it was a sure thing to get the house, but I didn't expect that they could actually pay off the debt."

Twenty taels of silver for a decent-sized yard and house is a good deal no matter how you look at it, but unfortunately...

"Sister, Lu Tianning is a paraplegic, Ji Li Niang is a womanizer, Lu Ke'er is just a little girl, not to mention Lu Mingxi, who is just a five-year-old baby. How can they have the money to pay off their debts? Where does the money come from?"

"Need I say more? They must have been gifts from the guests." Lin Yunhua thought of the gifts she had taken a quick look at when she was following behind the carriage, and said, "I think those gifts are not cheap. Any one of them would be worth a lot of money if sold."

"When did the Lu family get to know such a wealthy family? I think they have a pretty good relationship." Lin Yunmu's triangular eyes turned rapidly, and a thought arose in his mind.

"Maybe he is an old acquaintance of Lu Tianning. When Lu Tianning came, you didn't see his dignified demeanor. No one would disbelieve him if he was said to be the son of a wealthy family. Otherwise, would your brother-in-law be willing? Ji Li's parents are greedy for money. Originally, your brother-in-law's family wanted to arrange a child marriage with her family, but her parents sold her to a human trafficker for her good-for-nothing brother. Your brother-in-law was very angry about this. Later, Ji Li's mother came back, but she looked more and more like a vixen. If she hadn't married Lu Tianning, your brother-in-law would have been attached to that vixen and couldn't come back."

"Sister, Lu Tianning has been paralyzed for the past few years, has your brother-in-law not taken any interest in him?"

"Why didn't he get up?" At this point, Lin Yunhua was both angry and proud. "If I hadn't been able to control him, do you think your brother-in-law would be so honest? Bah, there is no good man!"

"Sister, what you said is not right." Lin Yunmu laughed, "For men, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines, isn't it? Sister, as long as your position as the legal wife is stable, even if your brother-in-law takes a concubine, what does it matter? In the eyes of men, besides the legal wife, those concubines are just toys. Look at the wealthy families, the concubines, to put it bluntly, are lowly people who serve the mistress and are tortured by her."

Lin Yunhua was stunned: "Can you still look at it this way?"

"That's right." Lin Yunmu licked his thick lips obscenely and smiled lewdly, "That Ji Li Niang is indeed quite pretty. I just don't understand why brother-in-law hasn't been able to get her in the past few years? If you could get her, sister, wouldn't you let Ji Li Niang do whatever you want? If you're happy, you can keep her by your side and torture her. If you're not happy, you can sell her to Yicuiyuan in town."

When Lin Yunhua heard this, her chubby face turned red and white. After a long while, she spat and said angrily, "What kind of bad idea did you come up with? Get out! Get out!"

"Okay, okay, sister, I'm leaving, I'm leaving. Why are you still angry? I'm still thinking about you, aren't I giving you advice?"

Only after leaving the house did Lin Yunmu spit inside and cursed in a low voice: "How kind you are! You haven't brought down the Lu family in the past few years. You are a waste!"

Turning around, a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.

Is the Lu family lucky?

Humph, it depends on whether they can keep this good luck!

…………

It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

A sneaky black shadow appeared outside the wall of the Lu family. The black shadow looked around and saw that there was no one around. He jumped and easily climbed over the wall of the Lu family!

Xiaopa was curled up in the corner of Lu Ke'er's room and sleeping soundly. Suddenly, it pricked up its ears, jumped up, and stared with its eyes wide open in alertness.

"Meow--" It walked to Lu Ke'er's bed, shaking its injured leg that had not yet healed, and called softly.

Lu Keer turned over and mumbled in a daze, "Xiao Pa, stop making noise."

"Meow!" Xiaopa was anxious.

Master, someone broke into our house.

Lu Ke'er shuddered and came to her senses.

"You said someone broke in?"

She hurriedly dressed and got out of bed, picked up the door bar and gently opened the door. Just as she leaned out half of her body, she suddenly heard a slight sound coming from Xiaoxi's house next door, and after a while, a jade-carved face poked out.

The two faces were facing each other.

Good boy, you are very alert.

Lu Ke'er glanced over with burning eyes and secretly praised in her heart.

In the night, Ye Feng hastily shifted his gaze from the girl's slightly messy clothes and hair, and a hint of embarrassment quietly crept up behind his jade-like ears.

Xiao Pa shook his body, quietly jumped out from the crack of the door, and under the cover of night, pounced on the dark shadow that had just climbed over the wall and was now groping along the wall towards the house.

Lu Ke'er opened her mouth, but before she could stop him, she saw the small black shadow passing by her like a gust of wind. After a while, she heard a scream.

"Someone come, catch the thief!" Lu Ke'er shouted, her shrill and high-pitched voice breaking the silence of the mountain village late at night.

While shouting loudly, she picked up the thick wooden stick and rushed over, swinging it at the black shadow that was bitten by Xiaopa.

The sound of dogs barking could be heard from far and near.

Lights were turned on in every household, and many villagers came running over with sticks, hoes, sickles and other items.

Ji also got up in a panic, opened the door and entered the yard, and saw a handsome young man standing in the corridor.

"Xiao...Xiao Xiao, what happened?"

The stunned expression on Ye Feng's face had not yet disappeared. His gaze shifted dully from Lu Ke'er's sturdy figure to Ji's anxious face.

The screams continued, sounding very creepy under the dark night sky.

"That...that's Ke'er?" It was obviously the first time that Ji saw her daughter hitting someone, and the one who had the upper hand. She was immediately shocked.

"Well, Ke'er... Ke'er is really amazing." Ye Feng recovered and nodded, "She is really a heroine."

After the initial worry and astonishment, why did he feel that the little girl could even beat people so heroically?

Ji glanced at him oddly and was about to go over to take a look when the gate of the courtyard was knocked loudly.

Ji hurried over and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Lei Zheng rushed in with the villagers holding a torch.

"Ji, what happened?" Lei Zheng didn't even have time to put on his clothes, and the anxiety and worry on his face were not fake, which made Ji's heart suddenly warm.

"Grandpa Village Head, we've caught a thief. This guy sneaked into my house in the middle of the night and wanted to do something bad!" Lu Ke'er's crisp voice came from the corner.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and were all shocked.

The light from the torch clearly illuminated the face of the man who was curled up in a ball and screaming. His inverted eyebrows, triangular eyes, and blood on his face could not hide the viciousness in his eyes.

“Isn’t that Lin Yunmu?”

"Why did he break into the Lu family in the middle of the night?"

"You don't have to guess, this person must be here to steal something."

"The Lu family has just started to get better, and now someone is targeting them. They are bullying a room full of women, children, and the sick. Tsk tsk..."

"I heard that Lin Yunmu is a scoundrel in Xilin County, and he has done a lot of sneaky things."

Outside the crowd, Ye Feng's face grew gloomier as he listened.

At the same time, he began to worry about the situation of the Lu family.

In the past few days, he spent most of his time recuperating in his room, and indeed had not seen the male owner of the Lu family. He thought that the male owner of the Lu family was not at home, but it turned out that he was injured and paralyzed in bed and could not see him.

Now it seems that the two women are the ones who can truly support this family.

"Xiao Pa, you bite well." Lu Ke'er held Xiao Pa who jumped into her arms, stroked its increasingly shiny and smooth fur, and praised, "Today is all thanks to you."

If Xiao Pa hadn't pounced on Lin Yunmu and bit him tightly, Lu Ke'er might not have been able to subdue him.

Lin Yunmu covered his thighs with both hands and groaned in pain. He glared at Lu Ke'er and the little kid in her arms fiercely, and his gloomy eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Damn beast!"

He cursed bitterly.

If he went a little further, a little deeper, his life would be ruined.

Lu Ke'er's face turned cold and she cursed, "Who are you scolding, you beast?"

Lin Yunmu cursed back: "You beast cursed you!"

Someone burst out laughing.

Lin Yunmu suddenly came back to his senses and glared at Lu Ke'er.

Lei Zheng came over. As the head of the village, he had to take charge of the overall situation.

"Lin Yunmu, why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and sneaking into the Lu family?" he asked harshly.

Even though Lin Yunmu was in unbearable pain, the anger on his face did not diminish at all. He sneered: "Why do you care what I am doing here? Can't I just come here to take a look? Besides, which eye of yours saw me stealing things? Where are the things?"

Everyone breathed.

I have seen unreasonable people before, but I have never seen such unreasonable people.

Lu Keer sneered: "You think you have the right to break into a private house? If we hadn't discovered it in advance, wouldn't you have succeeded now? What do you want to steal? Or... you don't just want to steal things, you also want to hurt and kill people, for money and life?"

Everyone gasped.

If you think about it carefully, this is really possible.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yunmu changed immediately.

"You bitch!" Lin Yunmu didn't expect Lu Ke'er to be so eloquent. Her few words were as sharp as swords. In just a few words, she aroused everyone's suspicion of him.

Lu Ke'er ignored him and turned to Lei Zheng and said, "Grandpa Lizheng, I want to report to the police!"

"Report to the police?" Lei Zheng pondered for a while, looked at Lu Ke'er, then looked at Lin Yunmu, nodded and said, "Okay."

"You dare?" Lin Yunmu felt a little panicked, and he stared at Lu Ke'er with a gloomy look.

In Qi State, if the crime of trespassing was proven, the punishment would be twenty strokes of the cane. He didn't want to receive those twenty strokes of the cane in vain.

"Do you know who I am?" Lin Yunmu asked angrily.

Lu Ke'er sneered: "Oh? You don't know who you are?"

Someone burst out laughing again.

Lin Yunmu's face froze, then he turned stubborn and arrogant: "Do you know Master Jia from Xilin County? I am the godson of his housekeeper Master Zhang! If you dare to report to the police, Master Zhang will definitely not let you go!"

Lu Ke'er's phoenix eyes flickered slightly.

She remembered that the middle-aged man with a greasy face and a wretched look who tried to force Qiu Shui to marry her whom she met in Xilin County a few days ago, didn't he claim to be the steward of the Jia family?

Someone whispered, "Isn't he talking about that Master Jia?"

"Which one?"

"I heard that he is the brother-in-law of the wife of the Duke of Jingcheng."

"ah--"

Everyone exclaimed and fell silent.

In their minds, the county magistrate was already a high-ranking official, not to mention the dignified Duke of Zhenguo? That was an official so high up that they dared not even think about it.

Seeing the fearful and panicked expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Yunmu became even more proud. He nodded slightly and swept his stubborn eyes over everyone: "Yes, it is this Master Jia! You let me go immediately, and if this incident tonight did not happen, I will naturally not blame you! Otherwise, my godfather is not a vegetarian! He is the person that Master Jia trusts and relies on the most! If you offend me, you will suffer the consequences!"

Everyone looked at each other, and some people began to think about giving up.

The head of the village looked slightly gloomy. He glanced at Lu Ke'er, who had remained calm from beginning to end, and said, "No matter who you are, you have done something bad. This is a fact! A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules! If everyone is afraid of you, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

If this matter were to be exposed, not only would the Lu family not be able to hold their heads up, but even he, the head of the village, would not be able to stand up straight.

Lu Ke'er nodded approvingly, her clear and cold voice sounded particularly loud in the silent night: "That's right! As the saying goes, a prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as a commoner! What's more, you are the godson of the housekeeper of the brother-in-law of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo! You are not even remotely related to that Duke of Zhenguo. I think this brother-in-law's ancestors were really far-sighted, and their surname was Jia! Isn't this a fake master! He is neither a scholar nor a warrior, and has neither fame nor an official position. What has he done in his life to deserve everyone's awe? Is it because his mother breastfed that lady? Oh, isn't this just a wet nurse? How many good men who have made great achievements are admired by people, but it is not necessarily that they oppress the people and bully the people in the countryside! What has this brother-in-law done for the country and the people? What good things has he done for the countryside? In this way, this fox is first-class at using the power of the tiger to bully others!"

After these sarcastic and sarcastic remarks, everyone felt as if they had been hit by a stick and suddenly woke up.

Yes, brother, after all, he is just the son of a slave, and his status is not much higher than theirs, so why should they be afraid? Moreover, this housekeeper is the slave of the son of a slave, so they have even less to fear.

Lu Ke'er straightened her face and continued, "Besides, I heard that the current emperor governs the world with benevolence! He loves the people like his own children and will never condone such bad behavior! Prince Chen has committed atrocities in his fiefdom, and his actions have chilled the hearts of the people of the world. The emperor has issued an imperial decree to urge Prince Chen to come to the capital for investigation. If he treats his own son like this, what about a mere Duke of Zhenguo? If the Duke of Zhenguo dares to protect his wife's servant, then he is disregarding the law and despising the emperor. Does he still want this reputation and face?"

Ye Feng stared at Lu Ke'er who was talking not far away with a burning gaze, his heart was beating fast and he couldn't calm down.
