“Mother, don’t be anxious. We can’t enter. This is a requirent of the law. We can only accept it.”
“Lil’ Jin and the others will be brought into the hall for questioning.”
“Alright, alright.” Madam Liu knew that it was useless to be anxious at this ti. She could only try her best to calm herself down.
This feeling of being bullied by power made her feel unwilling. At this mont, she was more worried. Her gaze was fixed on the door beside her, and she was impatient.
At the Xie family…
Two guards followed behind Xie Yu, and he quickly walked out of the gate, rushing to the county office.
Butler Xie received the news after around 30 minutes. He pointed at the servant guarding the door and scolded angrily, “Why did you only report such an important matter now? If anything happens to Young Master, I will hold you accountable.”
Butler Xie did not say much. He quickly found soone to help and rushed to the county office.
However, when he arrived, he found that things were going very smoothly.
Butler Xie was a little puzzled, so he squeezed forward to look for the people of the Chu family. He knew more information. Now that the Xie family was already cooperating with Scholar Chu to clean up the ss, the people below sensed that Landlord Wang had made a move, and it seed to be quite a big move.
He had already advised Xie Yu many tis not to go out at this ti.
In less than ten days, he would send Xie Yu to the capital city for the exam.
Who knew that Xie Yu had sohow found out that Landlord Wang was going to attack Scholar Chu’s wife today, so he deceived him and rushed over.
Butler Xie could only pray that Xie Yu was in the crowd.
Butler Xie squeezed to the front, but he did not see Xie Yu. He felt a little uneasy. He turned his head and saw Madam Liu. Since he knew her, he quickly went forward and cupped his hands in greeting. He asked, “Madam, are you Scholar Chu’s mother?”
“And you are?” Madam Liu asked subconsciously.
“I’m the butler of the Xie residence. May I ask if you’ve seen my Third Young Master?” Butler Xie hurriedly asked.
Actually, Madam Liu had only seriously looked at Xie Yu’s appearance at the banquet held at the bookstore. After Butler Xie introduced himself, she finally rembered. However, she was sowhat puzzled by his question, “Third Young Master? I didn’t see him co over.”
“Then what about Scholar Chu’s wife and son?” Butler Xie noticed Chu Ziluo was beside him, so he asked.
“Just now, she went in with a bailiff to get Lilt Jin out of the yan.”
Before this, Chu Jin and the other children had already given their testimony in court.
Butler Xie’s heart skipped a beat, but he did not show it on his face. He cupped his hands and said goodbye. “Old Madam, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go elsewhere to look for my Young Master.”
Madam Liu grabbed Chu Ziluo’s clothes and turned to look at Butler Xie with a frown. She felt that sothing was wrong but could not put her finger on it. She wanted to ask Butler Xie again, but she felt that they were not familiar with each other, If she asked too many questions, he might not be willing to answer, It would only offend him. Moreover, Butler Xie seed to have sothing urgent to attend to.
“Where can the Third Young Master of the Xie family go?” Chu Liushi muttered softly. She could not wait any longer. She pulled Chu Ziluo up and said to Liu Hai beside her. “Let’s go to the side door and see if Ah Yu and Lil’ Jin have co out.”
“Yes, Old Madam.” Liu Hai led the way.
Madam Qian quickly followed them. She waved at Chu Xing, who was guarding the mule cart in the alley outside the county office. “Chu Xing, co here quickly. Let Old He look after the mule cart for you.”
When Chu Xing heard this, he gave the rope of the mule cart to Old He, who was from the sa village. After thanking him, he quickly caught up with his mother.
“Mother, where are we going?”
