Wang Yan immediately took out a whip and gave the bailiff a good beating.

When County Magistrate Xu heard this news, he was so angry that his face turned ashen. He shouted angrily, “Hurry up and arrest this unruly person!”

The advisor hurriedly called for people to arrest him. When he heard that the lord had called her unruly, he could tell that County Magistrate Xu was furious.

Very quickly, Wang Yan was arrested and thrown into prison.

Although she had some maids and even guards by her side, they were no match for the bailiffs.

The sky was getting darker, and the rain was getting heavier.

Ye Muyu was about to go to the Xie family to pick up her family when Butler Xie came over in a carriage.

“Mrs. Chu, Third Young Master has asked me to come and pick you up. Quick, close the door and go to the Xie residence first.”

“What happened?” Ye Muyu did o’t delay. She packed some luggage and called the shopkeeper to go to the Xie residence together.

Butler Luo had his own arrangements, so Ye Muyu did not need to worry.

Butler Xie waited for her to get on the carriage and instructed the coachman to drive the carriage.

He thought about it and realized that this matter was more or less related to Scholar Chu. It did not seem good to hide it from his wife.

“It’s news from the county office that the Second Young Master of the Wang family is related to the largest bandit den outside the city. If news of Landlord Wang’s death spreads, I’m afraid something bad will happen.”

Ye Muyu was shocked. She thought that even if there were bandits in this era, they would not be so arrogant as to go against the government. They would be considered to be courting death.

However, from Butler Xie’s words, it was obvious that there was a wealthy businessman who was keeping a nest of thieves. He was so arrogant that he could directly go against the county government.

“Butler Xie, do you mean that the bandits will directly attack the county?”

“That’s possible, but it shouldn’t be exactly like what you think.” Butler Xie saw Ye Muyu’s obvious surprise and knew that she had misunderstood. He smiled, but his face was serious. “No matter how bold the Wang family is, they would not dare to bear the crime of raising private soldiers and bandits.”

“However, they can replace those mountain bandits with their own guards. As long as the number of people does not exceed the imperial court’s regulations, it will not be a crime.”

“In this way, the Wang family’s guards will be so powerful that even the bailiffs in the county government won’t be able to resist them.”

“But Madam, don’t worry. The Xie family still has the ability to protect ourselves.”

“Before Scholar Chu left, he told Third Young Master to help take care of

Madam, Young Miss, and Young Master if anything happened to him.”

“Madam, just stay in the Xie residence in peace.”

When they arrived at the Xie residence, Butler Xie arranged for someone to send Ye Muyu to the guest room. Madam Liu and the others were already waiting inside.

When Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo saw Ye Muyu, their eyes turned red as they ran over to hug her legs. “Mother, it’s great that you’re fine. Sob…’

Chu Jin wiped away his tears. Although Chu Ziluo was enduring it, she could barely hold back her tears.

“Mother, you’re finally back. I was so worried.”

“Don’t be afraid. I won’t let anything happen to myself.” Ye Muyu quickly comforted the two children.

Madam Qian pulled Ye Muyu to sit on a stool.

The two children followed behind her.

Madam Liu poured her a cup of hot tea and asked about the situation. Han

Zhuang came back in the morning and said that you were fine.”

“I’ve been worried that something might have happened to you. I’ve never seen you so bold before.”

Ye Muyu touched the tip of her nose guiltily. “Mother, I thought something might happen before I came, so I made some preparations.”

“Look.”

Ye Muyu said as he took out the knife, antidote, and other items.

“I even kept the laxatives you gave me well. I just didn’t have the chance to use them.” Ye Muyu felt a little regretful. She wished she could make those evil people suffer some fear..
