"Madam, I'm from Wanshan Village." Jiang Chuyue didn't understand why Mrs. Luo suddenly asked when she heard about Wanshan Village, but she still continued the conversation and looked at Mrs. Luo with some inquiry.

Mrs. Luo's strange look only lasted for a moment, and when she turned around again, she was the dignified Mrs. Luo again.

"Nothing, it's just that the name sounds familiar." The smile on Mrs. Luo's face was clearly forced. Jiang Chuyue, who noticed this, did not dare to expose it. Since Mrs. Luo didn't say anything, she, an ordinary citizen, did not have the courage to ask.

If she angered the Luo family, she would have a hard time.

Jiang Chuyue, who fully understood what she should do according to her position, just wanted to return home safely with the 14,000 taels of silver she earned today.

With such a large sum of money, Jiang Chuyue no longer has to worry about being embarrassed after moving into the county in the future.

More importantly, with this capital, Jiang Chuyue can also consider whether to do some small business next. If she can open a grain shop, relying on the special function of space, it can be said that she can make huge profits without any investment.

However, all these still needed to be considered carefully. Jiang Chuyue was personally escorted out the door by Shopkeeper Wei. She declined Shopkeeper Wei's kindness in asking Anping to see her off and returned to Wanshan Village with great satisfaction.

But she didn't expect that after a happy day, she would face a mess when she came back.

As soon as she stepped into the village, she saw that all the lights in the houses were turned off. Jiang Chuyue felt strange and continued to walk in. She was about to turn left into a small road and reach her home, but was suddenly stopped by a dark shadow.

Subconsciously, he chopped down with his knife and heard the man scream "Ouch, ouch". Jiang Chuyue felt that the voice was very familiar and pulled up the man who was already bent over in pain.

After a closer look, it was indeed Zhang San.

"Why are you stopping me here?" Jiang Chuyue asked unhappily. She was also frightened and that's why she took action.

Zhang San covered his neck, tilted his head, and looked painful. "I have something important to tell you, Jiang Jiezi, but I haven't waited for you to come back for a long time. I have no choice but to wait here."

"What's the emergency?" Jiang Chuyue took out a bottle of plaster from the space and handed it to Zhang San, pouting, "Let them apply it to your wound, rub it hard to rub the medicine in, and it will heal soon."

Zhang San took it and thanked him first, then he told Jiang Chuyue about this terrible incident.

He pointed his mouth in the direction of the Xiao family's old house. Every time he moved, his neck hurt. Zhang San grinned and said, "Sister Jiang, I'm afraid that what you asked us to do before must have caused He Hua a lot of suffering. Today, a lot of people were dragged into the case, saying that you had an affair with someone and were caught red-handed. Now they have brought a lot of people and are blocking your door."

When Jiang Chuyue heard this, she was confused for a moment, "Did you really not hear it wrong?" She even suspected that Zhang San and the others had misunderstood.

"It's absolutely true, Jiang sister, how dare we lie to you about this!" Zhang San was a little anxious, "In the evening, He Hua took Xiao Li and Liu Cui and a group of people away, but because you haven't come back, they are waiting for you to come back."

Hearing this, Jiang Chuyue smiled, "Who did she say I was having an affair with?"

Zhang San opened his mouth but didn't dare to say anything. Jiang Chuyue understood, "So the other protagonist is you?"

Hearing Jiang Chuyue's mocking tone, Zhang San became anxious, "This has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything!"

"Relax, I don't know whether you did it or not." Jiang Chuyue glanced at him, a little curious, "He Hua said that our relationship is not normal, how dare you come to me at this time?"

"Don't worry, our brothers are standing guard nearby, and no one will know that we met." Zhang San said quickly, "If Miss Jiang needs me to testify, this will be convenient, right?"

"What's convenient? It's convenient because when you speak up for me, it will make them more convinced that we are having an affair. Otherwise, why would you speak up for me?" Jiang Chuyue knew that Zhang San meant well, but to put it bluntly, Zhang San and the others could not interfere in this matter.

If they interfere, it will only make the whole matter more confusing.

"I know what I'm doing. You guys go back first." Jiang Chuyue thought for a while, took out two taels of silver and threw them to Zhang San, then took out two doses of antidote and gave them to them.

"Don't come down the mountain during this period, and don't come to me unless it's an emergency."

A woman's innocence is of utmost importance here. Jiang Chuyue may not care about it, but even if she doesn't care, she can't let others put such a hat on her.

With a plan in mind, Jiang Chuyue quickly walked towards the old house.

In order to avoid being noticed, she pretended to know nothing and opened the door, "Aunt Zhang, I'm hungry. What shall we eat tonight?"

When she saw the people in the courtyard, Jiang Chuyue showed a surprised look, "Grandma, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, why are you all here?"

After that, he hurriedly greeted, "What's the matter? If you're not in a hurry, why don't you sit down and eat something first?"

Xiao Yihao, who was blocked on the other side by the people brought by He Hua, was sitting in a wheelchair, which was really inconvenient. He gently pushed Xiao Shuangshuang, and Xiao Shuangshuang rushed out and directly fell into Jiang Chuyue's arms.

I actually burst into tears.

"What happened? Has someone bullied our Shuangshuang?" Jiang Chuyue picked up Xiao Shuangshuang and coaxed her patiently, but the hidden meaning of her words was also very obvious.

Xiao Shuangshuang was fine on weekdays, so why did she start crying when someone from the second house came?

It all happened so fast that He Hua and the others didn't have time to react, and Jiang Chuyue hugged Xiao Shuangshuang and turned around to blame them.

"Heh." He Hua laughed, "Jiang Chuyue, you still don't know you're wrong?"

Jiang Chuyue looked at He Hua in confusion, "Second Aunt, what should I know about my mistakes?"

Seeing Jiang Chuyue answering the question, He Hua immediately started talking, starting from how she saw Jiang Chuyue and Zhang San hooking up together and how she caught them on the spot, to how Jiang Chuyue didn't come back for a long time tonight, and she also accused him of deliberately delaying until now because she was afraid.

Jiang Chuyue almost laughed out loud at such a poor excuse.

"Second Aunt, since you said you caught me on the spot, how come I'm not in your hands? And I came back safe and sound?" Jiang Chuyue saw Xiao Shuangshuang's crying gradually stopped, and carefully put her down, "Shuangshuang, be obedient and go to Aunt Zhang first, okay?"

Letting go, Jiang Chuyue watched Xiao Shuangshuang walk towards Aunt Zhang who was standing at the kitchen door. Meeting Aunt Zhang's worried eyes, she gave her a soothing look.

"Aunt, you can't tell me, is it because you haven't thought of an excuse yet?" She turned her head and looked over.
