Yang Ruxin’s eyes narrowed slightly.
However, the next mont, Chai Qin’s hair flicked, and a lock of black hair was cut off in her hand.
"Madam, if I ever break this oath, let it be like this severed hair." Chai Qin raised the severed hair.
Yang Ruxin looked at Chai Qin and nodded after a long pause, "Alright, I believe you."
Chai Qin suddenly smiled, feeling incredibly relieved at that mont.
"However..."
Chai Qin’s smile instantly froze.
"However, you only have this one chance." Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows.
"I understand." Chai Qin nodded, then suddenly smiled, "Madam, may I ask a question?"
"Go ahead, but I might not answer."
"Why didn’t you give Chai Huan a chance back then?"
Yang Ruxin looked up at Chai Qin, "Because she t the wrong person from the start."
"Oh." Chai Qin seed to understand only partially and took her leave.
But as soon as she walked out of the room, she suddenly stopped. The person Chai Huan first t was... the cousin, Miss Dou Xuei... She couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Thankfully, when she got into trouble, she first encountered people from the Shu Family; otherwise, she too might have reincarnated by now.
Smiling a bit, Chai Qin returned to her room, knowing she could sleep well tonight.
As for those hooligans, they finally started moving. But lying on the ground for a quarter of an hour, though they suffered, didn’t completely freeze them. After moving around for a bit, they regained their vigor.
"Damn it, who dares to make trouble in Baimu County?" The fur-coated man, once recovered, exploded with anger, "Go to the County Governor’s Office imdiately, dispatch Governnt Officials here, search every inn..."
His subordinates, hearing this, dared not delay and quickly sprang into action.
"Sir, perhaps we should let it go." The black-faced man, who nearly injured Chai Qin earlier, hesitated, "Those people just now..." He was a man of the underworld, and the old man’s moves were too strange, definitely not ordinary.
"What?" The fur-coated man frowned directly and glared, "I pay you, and you’re just for show?"
"But..."
"Ba Santong, never forget these days when you eat and drink at my expense. If you can’t vent my anger when things happen, then what’s the use of you?" The fur-coated man scoffed contemptuously.
Ba Santong’s face showed a mont of embarrassnt, knowing he couldn’t offend this patron for now. He then smirked, "I’m no match for that old man, but I can help you find soone to deal with them."
"Then get moving." The fur-coated man glared.
Yang Ruxin was woken by a noise. After days of traveling, she was quite exhausted and initially didn’t want to pay attention, but then she heard doors being pounded on outside and soone shouting about the Governor’s Office searching for a fugitive, causing her to frown involuntarily.
But before she had ti to think, noise erupted at the entrance.
"What’s going on? It’s midnight, can’t people live?" a woken guest complained.
"Stop talking; it seems like the governnt officer is conducting an investigation."
The subsequent discussions quieted down.
"This is our madam’s room; what are you trying to do?" Chai Qin was evidently blocking those who wanted to pound on the door.
"Who cares about madams?" a man’s voice said, "There’s a bandit who ca to Baimu County, and we’re ordered to search for him. Move aside, or you’re an accomplice. Co, bind them."
