When Madam Chen saw Qingcheng coming back from outside, she asked hurriedly, "What did Qinghe say? Why didn't you do it? It's been so long, if you don't do it, I'm worried that you'll be exposed."

Qingcheng thought for a moment and asked, "Madam Chen, why did you become a bandit in the first place?"

Madam Chen was startled. "My father was killed by bandits from the Black Bear Village. I went to the Wild Wolf Village to seek revenge. The big boss brought people to avenge me, and I became his woman."

Qingcheng thought for a moment and asked again, "Is the boss treating you well?"

Madam Chen shook her head and smiled bitterly when she heard this. "It's still a bit fresh at the beginning, but no matter how beautiful she is, she will become boring after a while."

"When a new beauty came to the village, I was forgotten. I was very jealous and resentful, and sometimes I even wanted to kill that woman."

"But later, that favored woman hanged herself. Then I realized that it was not someone else who stole the boss's favor for me, but the boss's love for someone else."

"I was very sad at the time. When I learned that he was going to set up an intelligence point in Qingshui County, I volunteered to come over. Out of sight, out of mind, I came over peacefully."

Qingcheng heard this and looked distressed. "So, you are also a miserable woman! You are loyal and righteous. You have made a lot of money in Qingshui County over the years, and you have also provided a lot of useful information. In fact, you have already repaid the kindness of the boss."

Madam Chen was slightly startled, and looked at Qingcheng with sharp eyes, "Qingcheng, don't you want revenge anymore?"

Qingcheng did not answer directly, but asked: "If the county magistrate had come to Qingshui County earlier, perhaps the tragedy in your family would not have happened! You are still a young lady loved by your parents, and Qinghe and I still have kind parents."

When Madam Chen heard this, she looked a little dazed, "Yes! I have seen what the county government has done during this period! Those officers and soldiers are not oppressing the people like before, but are disciplined and eager to help the people."

"In previous years, such a severe snowstorm would have been very difficult for the elderly, the weak, women and children. Not many people survived, but this time, I heard that no one was killed by collapsed houses, and no one froze or starved to death."

"What surprised me even more was that the criminals who had been freed actually returned on their own initiative after the snowstorm. You know, these were all former bandits, and their bad reputations are hard to change."

Qingcheng nodded. "With such a county magistrate, Qingshui County will surely be able to live and work in peace and contentment in the future. If we kill such a good official, Qingshui County will fall into chaos again, and many people will lose their families like we did in the past."

Madam Chen frowned slightly, "Qingcheng, so you don't want revenge anymore?"

Qingcheng smiled bitterly, "The boss has killed countless people in the past, and he deserves to die. But he has done us a favor, so we want to avenge him."

"This is a very dangerous matter, and we are very likely to lose our lives. It is not a pity for us to die, but the two children left behind by the boss are still young. If we raise the children of the boss, it can actually be regarded as repaying the boss's kindness."

"The county magistrate is a good official. If we kill him now, it won't be justice as we said before, but a perverse act."

"Now that you are pregnant, I want to marry you openly. Let's live a peaceful life without any fighting or killing."

Madam Chen was silent. "Does Qinghe think so too?"

Qingcheng nodded, "He followed those adults and knew that the county magistrate, Yuan Zhen, and Xie Jin were all good officials. This is the luck of the people of Qingshui County. If we kill these people, we will be the sinners of Qingshui County. Even if we die, we will not be able to face the elders and fellow villagers in the future."

Madam Chen sighed and touched her belly. "In fact, I have been hesitating and trying to escape these days. You have been with me for so many years, and I remember all the kindness you have shown me. Otherwise, I would not be with you, let alone think about having a baby with you."

Originally, in order to get revenge, she wanted to become Wang Shiwen's concubine.

Thinking about it now, it is a bit ridiculous.

The boss at the time wasn't very nice to her.

She went to the Wild Wolf Village, not only giving up her innocence, but also the Chen family's property.

The boss was paid to do the job, so she doesn't owe him anything.

Thinking of this, it seems that there is no need to seek revenge.

Qingcheng was very happy to see that Madam Chen had relented, "Madam, actually you don't owe the boss anything. Even though he avenged you, you paid money and gave your sincerity, but the boss didn't cherish it."

"The boss avenged me back then, but Qinghe and I risked our lives for him many times, and we have repaid him. Now that he is gone, we should start over instead of dwelling on the past."

Hearing Qingcheng say this, Chen Niangzi smiled, "In fact, sometimes many things are just a matter of a thought. I was thinking about revenge just now, but after being persuaded by you, I feel relieved now. I want to live and don't want revenge anymore."

"It's okay for us to think this way, but I'm worried that the more than 20 brothers below us won't be happy about it. By then, we will be in a very passive position."

Qinghe nodded, "This is indeed a bit tricky, but it's mostly the same as our situation. Once the good times have lasted too long, their will will wear down and they won't be willing to die and won't think about revenge."

While Madam Chen was discussing with Qingcheng, Zhou Shisan had already found out about the situation of the courtyard and recorded it.

Zhou Shisan and Zhou Shisi met, reviewed the tracking just now, and then went to see Zhou Jin together.

Zhou Jin was slightly stunned when he heard the two men's narration, "Dachun was instigated to rebel?"

Zhou Shisi replied, "Yes, I followed Dachun and did not lose him. I am the long-time attendant beside Lord Wang."

Zhou Jin frowned and looked at Zhou Shisan again, "Are you sure there is a pregnant woman there, most likely Madam Chen? Have you found out why they did this?"

Zhou Shisan replied, "Sir, it was indeed Lady Chen. But why did she do this? I dare not rashly alert the enemy, so I came here to report."

Zhou Jin nodded, "It's good to be sure that there is someone. You guys go down first. I'll think about it!"

Just at this time, Yuan Zhen came over for something.

Seeing Zhou Jin frowning, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhou, are you having a problem? Tell me about it. Yuan may be able to help."

Hearing this, Zhou Jin's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his voice and asked, "How is your relationship with Brother Wang?"

Yuan Zhen was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he chuckled, "They are not convinced by each other, and they are disgusted with each other."

"Haha!" Zhou Jin chuckled, "Brother Yuan, stop joking. Tell me honestly, what is it about the brothel that fascinates you?"
