Song Yujie nodded. "Go and ask the village chief. He should know what happened."
Old Ding also nodded his head, no matter how suspicious he was, he could only explain it after meeting the village chief, but he did not believe that Miss Bai He would truly stir up such trouble.
The two of them continued deeper into the village and arrived in front of a tiled building. They then saw the people inside.
"Please come in." When the Village Chief saw them, he immediately stepped forward to welcome them. He was also a knowledgeable person. Merely by looking at the noble cloak and the shop assistant beside him, he was able to tell that they were definitely extraordinary people.
Song Yujie glanced at him once, but did not say anything. He immediately entered.
"Pour water! Pour water!" The village chief shouted into the room.
Song Yujie didn't say anything and only looked at the village chief.
The Village Chief quickly took out two stools and wiped them with his sleeves. Then, he placed them down and asked, "May I know where you two are from? What's the matter?"
Song Yujie nodded and looked towards Old Ding at the side.
Old Ding opened his mouth and said: "We are here to look for Bai He."
"Bai He?" The Village Chief's hand trembled, but he did not conceal his emotions.
Seeing him act this way, Old Ding said: "If you know anything, just say it directly. My Young Master has important matters to find Miss Bai He, if you delay it, you cannot afford it!"
After the village chief heard his words, he became slightly flustered, but he still said: "This, this is impossible, Bai He is no longer a person of our village."
"It isn't?" Song Yujie looked at him with eyes filled with surprise.
Seeing this, the village chief pulled out a chair with a missing corner and sat down uneasily. He said, "Isn't this the same as when her third uncle became an Elementary Scholar?"
Song Yujie frowned. Shouldn't Third Uncle becoming an Elementary Scholar be a glorious matter? How could it be like this?
The village chief saw his frown, and said: "Young master, I can see that you are here to look for Bai He, it's a good thing. But I've also told you, Granny Bai has already said that he will break off all relations with Bai He. So let's get her out of the village. This was the first time that the third son of Granny Bai had become an Elementary Scholar. Her future prospects were limitless. We have to listen to it anyway. Furthermore, Bai He also married out, so he can't be considered as one of us. "
Old Ding finally understood, this Granny Bai probably despised Bai He and said: "Since that's the case, then do you know where Miss Bai He is?"
The village chief looked at them and said: "It's not that I'm not saying anything, other than Granny Bai, I don't even know where Bai He is."
"Drink water, drink water!" The village chief's wife came in with a bowl of water.
Song Yujie glanced at it and said nothing. He only asked, "Where is she?"
The Village Chief, however, looked at Song Yujie. Seeing that he was not interested in the bowl of water at all, he glared at his wife. Why didn't they put in a few slices of the tea leaves that had been hidden all this time?!
The village chief's wife had no choice but to obediently stand to the side.
"My young master is asking you, where is Granny Bai?" Old Ding looked at him from the side, and actually did not say anything. It was already getting dark, if he didn't continue searching, he wouldn't be able to find it.
Only then did the Village Chief react and said, "You're looking for Granny Bai, she's not an easy target."
Not to mention, the two of them had their own guesses. After all, if they could think of a way to sever their relationship, they definitely wouldn't be a good person.
"I'll take them." The village chief's wife finally found a place to interrupt.
"Why are you joining in the fun, when the time comes, wouldn't the Granny Bai be scolding you?" When the Village Chief heard this, he became even more furious. This Granny Bai had a new Elementary Scholar in her house, and she was extremely proud. She ignored everyone and felt that he was extremely powerful.
"In that case, tell us where she is."
The village chief quickly nodded his head and said, "Alright, let's go straight here. We'll turn a corner and turn right. There's a row of tile-roofed houses. That's their home."
Song Yujie nodded, stood up, then left.
Old Ding thanked him and followed him.
"Can't you remember a little bit longer and keep everything up to date? The previous matter isn't over yet, is it?" Right now, the Granny Bai is on guard against us. " When the village chief saw her wife, she was furious.
The woman was also a little unhappy, and said: "It was clearly Granny Bai's fault, why did she break off her relationship with Bai He? I just can't watch it. Furthermore, Bai He's mother did not break all ties with her! "
"What do you know? The Granny Bai has an Elementary Scholar in her family, but even some of the nobles in the town have set their eyes on him. That's why we shouldn't cause trouble for him."
The woman could only remain silent.
Song Yujie then led his men and walked according to the village chief's instructions. They saw a man dressed like material, but compared to the clothes worn on the road, they could already be considered not bad. He appeared gentle and refined, but his expression was somewhat twisted with slight displeasure.
"Second Young Master, I'll go ask. You wait here." Old Ding walked over and asked.
Song Yujie nodded. He didn't seem to like this person, and it would be better if he didn't go near him.
Old Ding walked over to the man and asked: "Sir, do you know Bai He?"
The man looked at them and said indifferently, "I don't know him."
"Then you should be familiar with the Granny Bai too." Sure enough, Bai He was not accepted by anyone here, so she asked that question.
"I don't know him." The man said indifferently.
"Ol 'Three, what are you standing here for? The sun outside isn't weak and the wind is strong. Hurry back, don't blow on it." A woman's voice came from the side.
Old Ding raised his head and looked at the sky. It was obviously getting dark, where did the sun come from?
The man looked at the person and said, "Mother, I'm fine. It's just that I've been reading for too long. I came out to take a breather."
"Breathing is good, but don't catch a cold." It was an old woman who walked over, her voice full of warning.
"Mom, it's not too cold right now." Lady Baiqian could not bear to listen any longer and hurriedly said.
Mrs. White Sun glanced at her and said, "What do you know? Old Third is our family's lucky star. If something happens, will you be able to pay for it?"
Hearing that, Lady Baiqian immediately had no other choice.
The person who had come was naturally the White Sun family, and the person who was standing at the side earlier was naturally Bai Jingxuan.
"Mom, these two people are looking for you." Bai Jingxuan said indifferently.
When Mrs. White Sun saw these people, she enthusiastically said, "You must be here to celebrate for Old Third. Welcome, welcome." After pausing for a while, he asked, "But, why don't you bring up some congratulatory gifts? "Ol 'Three is at least an Elementary Scholar."
Song Yujie glanced at her and asked, "What should I prepare?"
"The county magistrate has been here before as well. He brought good quality tea leaves, so I must say that he is very respectful." Mrs White Sun glanced at him and said, "Although you don't look too good, you should at least bring some meat over."
Old Ding could not bear to listen any longer. This Granny Bai was really giving him face, he actually got his second young master to give him a gift? He didn't even consider his own worth!
"Granny Bai, we are here to look for Bai He. If you know where she is, quickly tell us." Old Ding saw that his second young master had already revealed an impatient expression and spoke quickly.
Upon hearing that, Mrs. White Sun immediately flew into a rage: "Who knows that ingrate? We have already cut off all relations with Bai He, so don't even think about getting news of her from me. "
Song Yujie glanced at her, took out a silver ingot, and asked, "Where is she?"
White Sun Lady saw the silver and immediately had a different look in her eyes. She said, "I know where she is, but she is an ungrateful person. If I were to only take you there, I wouldn't care about anything else."
The White Sun family saw that one piece of silver was at least five taels.
Song Yujie nodded and withdrew the silver. He said, "Let's go."
"This silver …" White Sun grandma wanted to say something.
Old Ding looked at her and said: "You still haven't brought her there, and are just thinking about money?"
Mrs. White Sun pondered for a moment and then said, "Then I'll have to bring it with me. You must give me the silver."
"Hurry up and leave." Old Ding only urged him on.
Madame White Sun thought for a moment. Although it was already late, this was several taels of silver. It wouldn't be good to call anyone. She said, "Old patriarch, come with me."
She didn't believe it at all. If they had Bai He's mother, these people would not be able to renege on their debt.
"Mom, I'll go." Lady Baiqian took the initiative to tame it.
Mrs. White Sun glanced at her and said, "Where are you going?"
Lady Baiqian quickly said in a low voice: "Mother, what's the use of you bringing eldest sister-in-law over. She's so stupid, she can't even help you."
Mrs. White Sun thought about it, and it seemed to make sense. The Second Brother was much more quick-witted than her. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright, then go."
"Eldest sister-in-law, you have to cook the meal first. Mother and I will go now." Lady Baiqian had calculated it beforehand. If she were to stay, she would definitely prepare the family's food.
She would not do something so humiliating.
Lady Baisong could only nod her head.
Mrs. White Sun and Lady Baiqian led the way ahead while Song Yujie and Old Ding followed behind. Old Ding was still leading the carriage, slowly walking forward.
"Where did you two come from?" When Mrs. White Sun saw that these two weren't ordinary people, she had some thoughts.
Song Yujie didn't pay any attention to him. Old Ding saw that his young master didn't even care that much, so of course he wouldn't pay attention to him either.
When the White Sun family saw this, they said, "Although our third brother is an Elementary Scholar, but he is still in third place. This is amazing, even the county magistrate said our third brother has a bright future ahead of him." As she spoke, she looked at their reactions.
There was a trace of anger in their hearts when they saw that the two men didn't seem to care at all. How could these two men not know what was good for them? She had already said it so clearly, why didn't you come over and curry favor with her?
"How much longer?" Song Yujie only asked this question.
Mrs. White Sun looked at him angrily and said, "We're almost there. Why are you guys in such a hurry?"
