n't come unarmed."Is that so I'm the same way. As early as when Zeng Hongliang wanted to take all the credit for himself and betray me, I made preparations. If he had even a shred of respect for the e...Wen Zhaoming picked up his own younger sister's deed of sale, then retracted his dagger and placed Yueyue on the horse's back, preparing to return.

Lotus also told Zhou Yapo a few more words, just to be safe.

"Zhou Ya-po, my family is the Su family from Qingshan County. My young lady is a student, not someone you and your tooth dealers can afford to offend. You had better behave yourselves."

"Yes, little one, I've noted it."

Zhou Yapo could only grit her teeth and swallow her blood. This time, not only did she fail to make any money, but she also offended a young scholar. She regretted now that she had done business with Wen Sandidi, but it was too late for regrets.

After the matter was resolved, the five of them headed back. The Su family was naturally not afraid of people from the Tooth Guild, but Wen Zhaoming worried about implicating the villagers. So, at the lotus flower exit, he tacitly accepted that his younger sister was the person favored by the Su family's young lady, thus indirectly seeking protection.

Yue Yue was so frightened that she developed a fever that afternoon. Luckily, there was some medicine from last time that Lian Yi had given them, so he immediately gave his sister a pill. Then, after eating some crackers with boiling water, he quickly rushed back home, which led to the scene we saw earlier.

Wen Zhao Yue had already heard the story from her older brother on the road. She knew that her brother had thick-facedly borrowed a horse from Miss Su and sent guards to follow, or else she would have been worlds apart from him.

So, after listening to his elder brother's instructions, he obediently let go of him. He respectfully bowed to Lianyi three times and was then helped up by her.

Liàn Yī has always disliked people kowtowing to her, but this time she accepted it, after all, the other person's gratitude was sincere.

"I see that Yueyue's body hasn't fully recovered, so I'll take her back to nurse her well. I've received your thanks."

Ripples said calmly.

Wen Jiahong thanked Lian Yi again with the women of the village, then prepared to leave.

Then Liàn Yī said:

When you get to Sujiazhuang, those people from the tooth-buying shop won't dare to make things difficult for you. Have something to eat first before returning to the village. The child is still young; at least let her have a bowl of porridge.

"Thank you, Miss Su. Miss Su is kind."

Wen Jiahong immediately expressed his gratitude.

Then the five of them, plus Yueyue, had a fairly filling lunch. They ate coarse grain pancakes with millet porridge, along with a stir-fry of pork fat and salted vegetables and a plate of fried eggs. It was a very ordinary peasant meal, but it filled their stomachs. After eating and drinking their fill, everyone looked much more spirited. Yueyue's complexion also improved slightly.

"Ming'er, we've already troubled Miss Su so much. Now that Yueyue is feeling better, let's go back as soon as possible! The village head must be worried about us!"

"Okay."

Wen Zhao Ming naturally didn't refuse.

Not a single person disturbed the ripples, and they simply spoke to the lotus once before leaving.

After lunch, Lian Yi took a nap and, when she woke up, listened to Hehua's report. It wasn't surprising at all. They were probably already back in Wengjia Village by now.

The remaining ten miles, the group walked back, taking turns carrying YueYue. They hurried to return to Wenjia Village before dark.

Along the way, they saw villagers who were concerned and went up to ask them questions. Seeing Yueyue who had been found, they chatted a few words and learned the general course of events. Many people praised them for being clever.

Wen Zhaoming originally planned to send his younger sister home before going to see the village head. However, the little girl was very insecure and refused to be separated from her brother no matter what. In the end, he could only take his sister with him to see the village head, as there were some things that needed his sister to tell the village head.

"Ming'er, is Yueyue alright"

"Much better now, I was frightened and caught a cold, luckily Miss Su is kind and compassionate, she sympathized with my plight and gave me medicine, now I'm much better. She just refuses to leave me, so I brought her along too."

Wen Zhaoming patted Yueyue's back and put her down.

"Hello, Village Head's wife!"

Yu Yu though a little dejected, still politely greeted the village head.

"Good child, I'm sorry you had to go through this."

The village head, with a kind touch, patted Yueyue's head. Since it was someone familiar, Yueyue wasn't afraid at all.

"Yue Yue, tell me about what happened when you met Uncle Wen."

Wen Zhaoming said softly.

When Yueyue heard about Uncle Wen, she visibly shivered before whispering:

I was playing with ants in my uncle's yard when my cousin came over and said he had something to ask me.

I remembered my brother's instructions and didn't leave the yard. I spoke to him through the fence instead. Who knew he said he couldn't hear me and walked straight into Uncle Five's yard Just as I was about to call for Uncle Five, my cousin covered my mouth with a handkerchief. Before I could even scream, I lost consciousness.

When I woke up, I was on a cart pulled by oxen. There was a very fierce woman who said that my family had sold me and told me to behave or she wouldn't feed me and would beat me.

When it got to this point, Yuet's eyes turned red. After all, she was still a child, and after being frightened, she could only cry in a low voice.

The village chief and Wen Zhaoming's faces were so dark, they could drip water.

Later it started to rain, and one of the young men who was with me seemed to have caught a cold. He had a fever, but I noticed it first. So I told that fierce woman, and she was afraid that the handsome young man would burn his brains out, so she found a place to take shelter from the rain and even gave him medicine.

After the rain stopped, we continued our journey, and then my elder brother and Aunt Hong caught up with us.

Wen ZhaoYue is already seven years old, and she can remember things. She speaks clearly and explains things in an orderly manner.

The village head said after listening:

"Mingge'er, you take Yueyue back to rest first. Tomorrow the village will be holding a meeting at the ancestral hall to decide what to do about Wen Sandidi."

"Alright, I'm sorry to bother the village chief. I won't be taking the game I hunted this time, I'll share it with my sisters who came with me to look for Yueyue."

Wen Zhaoming picked up his little sister and said.

"The meat is yours, you can distribute it however you want. But it's more sincere if you deliver it yourself."

The village head was also shrewd, so he gave a piece of advice.

"Okay, I noted it."

Then Wen Zhaoming took his younger sister home.

Neighbor Wen Wu Bo had been pacing back and forth at the entrance of his yard. When he saw Wen Zhao Ming carrying Yue Yue back, his face improved a little.

Then, Wen Zhaoming was the first to speak:

"Wu Bo, Yue Yue is back! Don't worry, you should go back and rest now!"

"Oh! It's good that it's back! If this were..."

Wen Wu Bo let out a sigh of relief. If he hadn't been able to find it, he estimated that he would have blamed himself for life.

"Wu Bo, this isn't your fault. It's Yue Yue's cousin, he's just too sneaky. Even if you were watching her, Yue Yue would still have lost it. Don't blame yourself."

"Ming'er is sensible, it's good that you don't blame me."

Upon hearing Wen Zhaoming's words, Wen Wu Bo finally let out a sigh of relief, afraid that his nephew would resent him tomorrow.

"Fifth Uncle, the village head said that tomorrow they will open the ancestral hall to deal with Third Brother Wen."

Wen Zhaoming then casually added.

"Yes, set up a shrine to deal with this vicious man. He doesn't even spare his own niece!""Our first version of the consultation notice has been issued, and so far no one has claimed it. It shouldn't be the first type of situation you mentioned, where someone is frequently out of touch but...
