CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 348: AUNT QIU KNEW SHE WAS UP TO NO GOOD: "EXPLAIN YOURSELF.

"Madam, you understand Zhang Hexsong, in his eyes, women are no different from livestock. Even if I were dismembered by him, you would still suffer at his hands."

"Is there any place on your body that is still intact now? Is this the first time this has happened?"

In the past, if she heard these words, the Ye Family woman would have been so angry that she would have slapped her several times before stopping.

But now, she’s calm instead, indifferently taking over the conversation.

"Indeed, exposing you doesn’t benefit me either, so Aunt Qiu, since the matter has already occurred, how about you take me with you?"

"You are a smart person, if we can cooperate, not only will I not expose you and your lover, but I’d also be willing to help you leave this place unnoticed, how about it?"

Aunt Qiu knew she had bad intentions: "Explain yourself carefully."

Ye Family woman crossed her arms, closed the door, and after rolling her eyes, still kept a vigilant stare at the two, standing in a position ready to flee at any moment.

She said, "Just now I heard you say you want to persuade some bandits to rob the village, are you sure those bandits are capable of this? Aren’t you afraid General Huo’s men are still around?"

The coachman snorted and laughed, "Madam, we’re not fools, since we’ve found bandits, they must be ruthless people. If we’re going to rob the village, it would be when General Huo isn’t around."

"As far as I know, in recent days, the soldiers in the camp have all gone to Wuheng City for reconstruction, they aren’t in the village at all, even that old Zhang Hexsong hasn’t returned today due to the reconstruction in Wuheng City."

Unexpectedly, the coachman had gathered this information clearly, so Ye agreed to proceed with what she wanted to say next.

"Fine, since you are so confident, let’s see what you can do. I only have one small request, when you act against the Ruan Family, stab Ruan Mian a few more times!"

"After escaping, if Zhang Hexsong wants to investigate you two, I will definitely help you hide, but my condition is you must share some of the plundered property with me. I’m not asking for much, just a token."

The coachman gave her a sneering look, "Madam, your calculations practically slapped me in the face, even if we didn’t cooperate with you, it wouldn’t hinder us from persuading the bandits."

"Furthermore, why should we trust you, Madam? Don’t tell me that before I’ve found the bandits, you turn around and bite us, reporting to that old Zhang Hexsong."

Ye’s eyes shifted a few times and she laughed with a snort.

"Exposing you two and making the Ruan Family suffer, clearly the latter is more appealing to me. Look at me now, whose fault is this?"

"Moreover, years ago I developed a grudge with the Ruan Family, now Ruan Mian has made both me and Rong’er suffer, if I don’t give her a hard time, how can I swallow this anger?"

"If you don’t trust me, I’m just a woman here, alone and helpless, you could easily take my life."

This made the two truly believe, the coachman and Aunt Qiu exchanged a glance and nodded to agree to collaborate with the Ye Family woman.

Two days later, General Huo’s men all withdrew from the village, even taking away many strong men.

The aim was to thoroughly clear everything in Wuheng City, discard any ramshackle remnants, and if there are houses intact, repair them so they can be inhabited without waste.

The roads washed away also need to be filled in somehow.

Back then, because of the epidemic brought by those sick pigs, now it has mostly recovered, and after a few days of rest, Lord Lin can get out of bed and walk today.

Having survived death’s doorstep, Ruan Mian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, she prescribed him more medicine, advising that he cannot yet overexert himself.

Yun Xiu stayed by her side with a medicine box, obedient and diligent in helping her work.

Seeing his swift hands and feet, Ruan Mian sincerely thanked him.

This made Yun Xiu blush with embarrassment, scratching his head awkwardly.

"Sister Mianmian, these are things I should do, there’s no need for us to be so polite."

Hearing these words, Ruan Mian didn’t know how to respond. She knew Yun Xiu was a grateful person, so she couldn’t be too polite to him, lest he feel uncomfortable.

The more naturally she interacted with him, the better their relationship became.

Reflecting on this, Ruan Mian thought of something.

"Ashu, in two months, there will be the martial examination for the common people, do you plan on taking it?"

Previously, Yun Xiu had mentioned to her and Xie Huai’an his determination to take the martial exam, aiming to become a Martial Champion and assist Xie Huai’an in the capital.
