Wanqing could hear her fellow villagers' words loud and clear in the courtyard. She was so confused that she couldn't understand what was going on. Why did she come all the way to her own courtyard to howl?

Liu Xing frowned as he walked towards Wanqing's side, "What is Miss doing today? "What are those noisy people trying to do?"

"I don't know either." Wanqing frowned, "I just woke up, who knows what's happening outside, Liu Xing, go take a look."

Liu Yue brought Dou Dou over to look for Wanqing, "Sis, what is it that's making so much noise outside?"

"That's right, young lady. These people are so noisy. What happened?" Liu Yue said as she frowned.

Wanqing shook her head, squatting down and pinching Dou Dou's small face, she chuckled and said, "You don't need to worry about what happens outside, you just need to practice hard to read, okay? In a few days, will elder sister send you to the private school to study? "

Dou Dou shook her head and avoided Wanqing's hands to prevent her from pinching herself, but she was very happy to hear Wanqing's words, "Really? Elder sister really wants me to go to school? Great, sister, you don't know. Seeing those people in his village that were as old as me all go to school, I feel really bad, but my grandma would never agree to let me go to school. Can I really go to school now? Elder sister, are you really not lying to me? "

"Of course I'm not lying to you, you can rest assured. But, sister, you need to thoroughly investigate the private schools in the villages around us." Wanqing said as she frowned.

When Liu Yue heard this, she softly said, "Miss, there's a private school in our village, why are you investigating the private school in the surrounding villages?"

There was a private school in the village that Wanqing didn't know about, but if she had to send Dou Dou to the village's private school for him to learn, it would be hard to ensure that the people from Mu Family wouldn't cause trouble. Dou Dou was still young, if he let her get involved in this mess right now, it would be hard to not instigate some bad thoughts in him.

"Girl, the people outside said that they were poisoned by the mushrooms you gave them. I'm here to ask you for an explanation." Liu Xing hurriedly came in and said.

When Wan Ting heard this, her brows furrowed. After thinking for a moment, she realized that it must be someone from the Mu Family who did it.

After snorting coldly, he turned to Liu Yue and said, "Yue'er, take Dou Dou and go play in the backyard."

Wanqing, who was bringing Liu Xing to the big door, had already thought of a plan, but first, she had to see what the Mu Family were up to.

The people outside the courtyard were all talking about how they wanted Wanqing to leave, and when they saw that Wanqing was really going to leave, they quickly surrounded him one by one.

"Wanqing girl, what exactly do you mean? What exactly does it mean to give us poisonous mushrooms to eat? "

"That's right. Little girl, how can your thoughts be so malicious? Do you want to poison all of us to death?"

"I really didn't expect you to be so vicious. You're all people who live in the same village. You don't learn anything at such a young age."

The villagers all opened their mouths and scolded Wanqing. The words that came out of her mouth were each more ruthless than the last, and her eyes were filled with burning anger as she looked at Wanqing.

Liu Xing wanted to argue with them, but he was stopped by Wanqing. He saw Wanqing take a step towards the crowd as she spoke with a cold gaze.

"Tell me, what did I give you?"

"What did you give him? Don't you know what you sent? Just the thing you gave us, it poisoned all of us and made us weak all over. We can't even hold the hoes or work right now, tell us what you gave us. "

"That's right, I really didn't expect a girl like you to be so vicious. You gave us something and now you're putting on an innocent front."

"Let him compensate us for the medical expenses and the time we can't work."

"Wanqing girl, we don't want to make things difficult for you. You just need to compensate us with silver."

Wanqing was about to burst out laughing at the words of these people, she forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and said softly.

"How much do you want?"

"Not much, just give us 10 taels of silver each. Otherwise, we will report you to the yamen for money and murder."

Some people even started to ask loudly. One had to know that in their clans, 10 taels of silver was enough for a family to use for two years.

Some people were also surprised when they heard this. They originally wanted one or two taels of silver, but this person asked for ten taels.

Everyone was waiting to see. No matter what Wanqing said, if they could get five taels of silver, it would be good if they could bargain.

"10 taels of silver, is that enough?" Wanqing asked coldly.

Hearing Wanqing's question, everyone felt that they had a way, the person who had just spoke immediately replied, "Humph, 10 taels of silver is not enough, but since we all live in the same village, for a little girl like you, 10 taels of silver is too cheap."

Wanqing laughed because of what she said, she used her hands to rub her ears and said, "Did I really not hear what you said? Ten silver taels, that's for the sake of our village. Alright, since that's the case, I'd like to ask you guys, when did I send you anything, and what did you get? "

"Are you trying to be shameless by asking this? I told you that the person who had no means of giving us this thing, is your little brother, the kid who just came back from the third house of Mu Family. He already told you that he was the one who asked her to give this thing to him, so he shouldn't be lying to you right?

Ah, so that's what happened. Isn't that brat from the third house of Mu Family Mu Qing? From the looks of it, Mu Qing must have been ordered by the Mu Family user to stay alive. Otherwise, how could he present something to his fellow villagers in the form of a flag?

"Don't mention that I haven't given you anything, even if I had to give it to you, I would do it myself. I have already expressed my respect towards my fellow villagers, but now you all know, Mu Family and I have separated. Didn't you ask me why when you were collecting?

Also, since you say that the things I'm giving you are poisonous, then since you know about the poison and want to eat it, what else can you be if not seeking death?

Furthermore, since you think that I won't be able to eat those poisonous things, can I give them to you? "

Wanqing's words made all of them speechless, but the person who said four taels of silver spoke again, "So we all thought that it was due to the poison, and did not dare to eat it. But didn't you eat it? Didn't you say that you knew of the mushrooms in Sixth Granduncle? Since you all ate without poison, we naturally thought that you all didn't have any poison in your hands. Isn't it normal for you all to eat it? Didn't you say that you asked him to send a child to lie? They are all from your Mu Family, so you must take responsibility for this matter. "

"What you're saying is that no matter what the Mu Family does, as long as you say that it was me who gave way, you're all looking for me? Since that's the case, in the future, whatever I do will be bad for you guys. I also said that it was the Mu Family's fault, so shouldn't you guys go and find them for a reason? "

"Don't tell me it's useless. It's just you guys who are being ignored. Anyways, I said that you were the one who let us have it. Hurry up and compensate us. No matter what, we will report you to the yamen."

He said that they were on the top floor of the yamen, but in reality, he was just trying to scare Wanqing, it was just a case where the rural people had interacted with him before. The biggest official, who would actually dare to go to the court for a fee every year, would actually go to the yamen. One had to know that there was a price to be paid for going to court. That county magistrate wasn't someone one could meet just because they wanted to.

Wanqing sneered as she looked at everyone and said, "Are you guys thinking the same thing as this guy?"

After everyone finished reciting the questions, some of them nodded their heads. Some of them remained silent, while some of them had a faint blush on their faces. They seemed rather scared.

"If all of you agree, then go make the promise. I have never been to the yamen before, so I'm a bit curious about what the yamen is like." Since you all want to give me this opportunity, I won't refuse your respect. However, remember to bring Mu Qing along as well. "

Wanqing's voice was especially loud when she said this, because she had already seen a pair of eyes peeking out from the bamboo forest's edge.

When the person heard this, he was slightly surprised, turned around and ran away. Upon seeing the person running away, he retracted his gaze and looked at the crowd.

They did not know what to say, and many of them had already thought that what Wanqing had said was reasonable. After all, Wanqing and the people from the Mu Family had already separated, and based on the attitude of the Mu Family towards her, it was a little strange for her to say that she could order Mu Qing to do something to him.

The man who asked for 10 taels of silver was also shocked when he heard Wanqing's words. He did not know what to say, and wanted to point at Wanqing, but he did not know what to do. After all, he had secretly received Old Man Mu's silver.

"My lady has never gone up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and she has never found anyone to send her mushrooms either. In other words, if I live here now, it would be me who would send them. But if I do send them, would any of you dare to take them?"

Liu Xing looked at these people with anger, and after he finished speaking, he snorted towards everyone.

After all, he was a person with a bad reputation, and Liu Xing was the bane of all of them.

Seeing Liu Xing like that, everyone quickly took a few steps back, each of their faces wearing the warning look of someone trying to avoid something.

"You brat, stay away from us. Don't bring us any bad luck from your body."

"Let's go, let's go!" If she really wants to give us something, she wouldn't let anyone from Mu Family give it to us. Seems like we have to find someone from Mu Family even if we want to. "

When one person spoke and left, several people followed. Before long, almost all of them had left, leaving only one person behind.

Wanqing could already tell the relationship between this person and the Mu Family people, but seeing that he still did not have any intentions to leave, she coldly said, "Are you still not leaving? Do you really want me to really send you something good, and burn it a million silver for you after you've finished eating? "
