Chapter 763: Chapter 763: The Wicked Woman Farms (19)
The next day.
There was a commotion outside the courtyard, along with Yang Cuicui’s scolding.
The chickens flew and the dogs leaped; it was quite a lively scene.
When Chuzheng opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a man’s handso face enlarged before her.
He was adorably lying on his side in her arms, his lashes casting shadows on his fair skin.
Chuzheng stared at him for a mont.
Her fingertip carefully landed on his cheek, tracing its curve and then edging onto his lips.
Qiu Ya seed to feel uncomfortable and shook his head slightly.
But the sensation persisted, and he frowned, suddenly opening his mouth to take Chuzheng’s finger in.
The pad of her finger was pressed against the tip of Qiu Ya’s tongue.
Qiu Ya instinctively curled it up.
Chuzheng’s eyes flickered slightly.
But the next second, she felt a sharp pain in her finger.
Qiu Ya had bitten her!
Chuzheng pulled out her hand and looked at the teeth marks on her finger, forgetting all other thoughts.
She glanced at Qiu Ya who rubbed against her, looking for a comfortable position to continue sleeping.
You still have the face to sleep!!
Chuzheng looked at her finger, gesturing over Qiu Ya’s neck, constantly reminding herself that it was beneath her dignity to argue with a fool, and she couldn’t stoop to his level.
–
Chuzheng noticed that the Bandits Group looked at her strangely.
She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong, but sothing was definitely off.
Was she wearing the wrong clothes?
Chuzheng secretly took stock of herself; there was no issue.
There couldn’t possibly be sothing on her face, could there?
Chuzheng took advantage of a mont when the bandits weren’t paying attention to check her reflection in the water, but there was nothing there.
What were they looking at?
“Jiang Chuzheng you f#%&*@…” Yang Cuicui suddenly burst into cursing, startling Chuzheng: “Are you happy now? Big has turned out like this, it’s all your fault, you f#$%&…”
Yang Cuicui was jumping and screaming in the neighboring courtyard.
Chuzheng’s expression remained unchanged as she turned her head and ordered the bandits: “Make the wall a bit higher.”
The bandits were puzzled: “Miss Chuzheng, with all your wealth, why do you choose to live here and take this nonsense?”
Wouldn’t it be better to move to town?
Even though they were bandits, they knew about her family; they had previously wanted to kidnap her for ransom.
That plan fell through, and now they were demanding compensation from her.
She refused, and they cursed her for being heartless.
Chuzheng: “It’s convenient.”
The bandits: “…”
Convenient for what?
The Bandits Group was quite efficient at their work, and by half a day, the fence had significantly increased in height.
–
News suddenly spread throughout the village that Chuzheng was keeping a man.
This was a hot topic of conversation even in modern tis, and in this era, it was even more sensational.
Although the villagers had previously gossiped about her unclear relationship with the bandits,
Chuzheng had never been close to any of them.
The bandits were more like her subordinates.
But this ti, many had seen her with the clean and fair-skinned man, holding and hugging him…
It was like that right in the open.
That relationship must be questionable.
Regardless of how fiercely the villagers spoke, Chuzheng ignored them.
If they went too far, she would send the bandits to visit them and settle the matter. For a ti, Chuzheng beca the village tyrant, and no one dared to gossip about her openly anymore.
But many appealed to Old Master Three, insisting on driving her away.
claiming that a woman who disregarded the elderly, manners, and sha, and flirted with n, could not be allowed to live in their village.
She was spoiling the village’s morals.
This suggestion garnered much support.
Old Master Three, accompanied by others, went to Chuzheng to talk. Chuzheng pointed to her bandits and said beat them first then talk.
If they couldn’t win, then they had better stop their nonsense.
The house she lived in was left by her parents, and no one had the right to force her out.
If the villagers had such ability, they likely wouldn’t be farming here.
–
Liang Han hurried back with his n after investigating Qiu Ya’s background and getting so news.
“Miss Chuzheng, Cloud City…”
Liang Han took a sip of water handed to him by a companion and continued, “There’s a Qiu Family in Cloud City, wealthy.”
Liang Han put emphasis on the word ‘wealthy.’
Of course, he wasn’t reminding Miss Chuzheng, it was just a professional habit.
“And?”
“…” Why wasn’t Miss Chuzheng a bit surprised or excited? Liang Han caught his breath, “This Qiu Family, they have a legitimate son nad Qiu Ya. It’s said that while he was out, he encountered… people in our line of work and went missing. I think that… the young master we found is most likely this legitimate son of the Qiu Family.”
The surna Qiu was already uncommon.
Having the sa na and surna? That was even rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
“Is the Qiu Family looking for him?”
“Look for him? Of course, they’re looking.” Liang Han said, “Isn’t he the legitimate son of the Qiu Family? He’s a sizable living person who’s gone missing; can they not search for him?”
“Miss Chuzheng, should we contact the Qiu Family to have them co and see?”
What kind of luck did Miss Chuzheng have?
She randomly picked up a wealthy family’s young master.
“Why contact them?”
“… Eh.” Of course, it was to let them co and see if this was their young master.
“I’m not planning on returning him.” Returning him was impossible, not in this lifeti.
“…”
Liang Han and his companion exchanged glances.
Miss Chuzheng had the makings of a bandit leader.
“This is bad, the Governnt Office’s people are here!”
A bandit rushed in frantically, his face turned pale with fear.
The rest of the people in the yard reflexively tensed up.
“Why is the Governnt Office here?”
“Could it be to arrest us?”
“Did you see clearly?”
“Really, it’s the Governnt Office’s people, they look fierce and there are many of them,” the informant bandit asserted confidently.
The bandits panicked.
“Panicking for what?”
“Miss Chuzheng, those are Governnt Office’s people!” They were bandits.
“You are not bandits now.”
“…” But that didn’t change the fact that they were once bandits.
According to the law, if they were discovered, they would still be arrested.
Governnt officials and bandits were never on the sa side.
“Enough, all of you, what’s there to panic about?” Liang Han chided sternly.
Miss Chuzheng was so composed that it eventually cald the group down.
–
The Governnt Office’s people charged straight toward where Miss Chuzheng was.
“Everyone inside, co out.”
Liang Han motioned for everyone to keep calm and not to act rashly.
Miss Chuzheng put down her teacup and stood up to go outside.
The leading officer was unfamiliar, but one of the officers who had co to collect grain last ti was also in the line-up, looking like his rank wasn’t as high as that of the current leader.
“Are you the owner of this courtyard?” the leading officer scrutinized Miss Chuzheng.
Miss Chuzheng stood on the steps, her expression indifferent, “What’s the matter?”
The leading officer raised his voice, “Zhang Yuanwai’s residence was robbed, and we received a tip-off that it was your doing.”
Zhang Yuanwai…
The old scoundrel really was as bad as they co.
“Is there evidence?”
The leading officer scoffed, “Evidence or not, we’ll find out after a search. Everyone inside, co out!”
Miss Chuzheng maintained her ‘just go ahead and play, I’ll just watch’ cold deanor and ordered soone to bring Qiu Ya out.
Upon seeing Miss Chuzheng, Qiu Ya imdiately ran to her side and hid behind her.
“Who are these people?”
“Seekers of death,” Miss Chuzheng said as she led him outside, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing.”
Qiu Ya bead a foolish smile at her.
“I’m not afraid.”
Qiu Ya now saw Miss Chuzheng as his rock.
He subconsciously believed her words.
The leading officer was sowhat suspicious; Miss Chuzheng was surprisingly easy to talk to.
However, this made his job easier, so the leading officer didn’t give it much thought and waved for his n to enter and search.
