The next morning, Xu Rongrong woke up to the sound of roosters crowing.

"I didn't seem to hear the rooster crow yesterday?" She was a little surprised.

Wen Yao smiled and said: "It was the Marquis who asked people to transport all the things that the villagers can use from Huangzhuang before dawn. The village head is now dividing things up."

Xu Rongrong frowned slightly: "He stayed up all night again?"

"Exactly. The Marquis guarded you outside the window all night last night. When the servant went out to fetch water in the morning, he was almost frightened." Thinking of the majestic Marquis of Yuan standing like a "stone looking at his wife" outside his lady's window, she There is an indescribable feeling in my heart.

Although she is the lady's maid, she also hopes that the Marquis can get his wish.

While they were talking, the stoves in every household started to get busy.

The smell of dry grass and firewood burning in the stove floats around the village, filling everyone's heart with a sense of harvest.

"It's still comfortable in the village." Xu Rongrong sighed, "It would be nice if I could stay here longer."

"If Miss, you want to live here, let's just stay here for a while. Spending the New Year in Xu Mansion may not be as comfortable as here."

Xu Rongrong smiled and shook his head: "That being said, how can we do that? We are still locked up in Chunwang. The emperor's village fell suddenly yesterday, and the people behind the scenes were not prepared. If he stays here any longer, when the owner of the village comes to his senses, Come here, I’m afraid the first thing I will do is to kill Chunwang and silence him... If you stay here for a long time, you’d better return to Beijing as soon as possible.”

Wen Yao was a little surprised: "Could it be that there really is a village owner behind Chunwang?"

Xu Rongrong nodded and said: "It's natural. Didn't you meet Chunwang last night? With his conversation and scheming, he is definitely not someone who can plan such a big thing. There will definitely be someone behind him."

"Then...who could it be?"

Xu Rongrong smiled and said nothing.

She wrapped herself in her cloak and put on her hood: "Go and see Chu He. He is seriously injured and will have to stay here to recover for a while."

The road to the capital, even with the best carriage, would inevitably affect his wounds. Xu Rongrong thought about it and decided that it would be better for him to stay here to recuperate.

……

At the old patriarch's house, Mu Rongzheng frowned and looked at Chun Ya: "Do you want to go to the capital with us?"

Chunya nodded.

"Why?"

Chun Ya whimpered twice, imitated Chun Wang's walking pattern as if in a dungeon, circled around Mu Rong twice, and then made a beating motion.

"You want to go to Beijing to testify and correct Chunwang?"

Chunya nodded vigorously.

Mu Rong thought for a moment and refused: "Your injury is not healed at this time, so it is inconvenient to enter the capital. It is better to wait until the injury is healed."

Chun Ya was still about to say something, but was interrupted by Mu Ai who ran in from outside the house: "Sir, the eldest lady has gone to see Guard Chu."

Mu Rong frowned slightly when he heard this, but he was relieved immediately: "It seems that she is also planning to keep Chuhe."

After saying that, he glanced at Chun Ya and said: "You recover from your injuries first. After your injuries are healed, someone will escort you to Beijing."

Isn’t Chu He a very good candidate?

At the clan doctor's home, Xu Rongrong also persuaded the stubborn Chu He like this:

"The cold weather and the bumpy road are not conducive to your recovery. Why don't you rest here and return to Beijing after you get better."

"What's more, the granddaughter of the old patriarch...that is, the woman named Chunya, is also injured. I originally wanted to invite her to the capital to testify. Why don't you bring her into the capital with you after you recover from the injury?"

Chu He lowered his eyes: "Okay."

He looked like a child abandoned by his parents.

Xu Rongrong felt a trace of intolerance in her heart, and she said cautiously: "If you feel lonely, how about asking Dr. Shu to stay with you? He can also take care of your injuries here."

Chu He: "No need."

There is a sense of anger.

"In that case, then Mr. Shu, please leave with us." The voice outside the door was loud, it was Mu Rong who was coming.

As soon as he walked into the room, the doctor's room suddenly seemed much lower.

Mu Rong looked at Chuhe condescendingly: "The people from the Jiangnan Dao camp will guard here, so you don't have to worry about safety. I also ordered people to transport a supply of supplements from Huangzhuang to here. You will have the nutrients you need to recuperate." No need to worry.”

Xu Rongrong was a little surprised when she heard this. She didn't expect that Mu Rong had even considered this.

So he hurriedly thanked Mu Rong: "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis."

"Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you." Mu Rong smiled.

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Chu He closed his eyes in annoyance: "Sorry for the inconvenience of sending him far away."

……

When he came out of the clan doctor's room, the carriage back to Beijing was ready.

After receiving the news, the villagers put down their work and surrounded Xu Rongrong and his party outside the village chief's house.

The old patriarch grabbed Mu Lu's hand tremblingly: "Why are you leaving after just one night's rest? We haven't thanked you all yet."

"Yes! We also want to prepare some specialties for you, but now we are short of time and there is nothing we can offer."

Mu Lu could only smile and wave his hands: "It doesn't have to be like this."

Xu Rongrong also had a smile on his face: "Thank you for your kindness. We also want to settle the case as soon as possible after returning to Beijing, so as to save everyone from worries."

As everyone was waiting to speak, there was a burst of rapid footsteps approaching from far away.

Then a boy's voice rang out: "Dad! Dad! There are many officers and soldiers coming to the village!"

The village chief's son ran from the direction of the village entrance and shouted loudly.

For a moment, the villagers were shocked.

The women who were rescued yesterday immediately huddled in the arms of their family members, unable to move.

The village chief hugged his son with a look of horror on his face: "This...this...what on earth is going on?"

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of sergeants wearing armor from the Jiangnan Dao Battalion entered the village and lined up on both sides of the road.

Xu Rongrong was also a little strange. She looked back, but there was no sign of Mu Rong.

A lieutenant came on horseback and stopped in front of Xu Rongrong in front of everyone's horrified eyes.

He quickly dismounted from his horse and knelt down on one knee: "My subordinates kowtow to the Lord of Ping'an County. I have been ordered to come and escort the County Lord back to the capital."

"The County Lord... you are the County Lord..." The old patriarch looked at Xu Rongrong in surprise.

The other villagers also looked shocked.

The day before yesterday, everyone thought she was just a member of a wealthy family.

Last night, she became the wife of Marquis Weiyuan.

And today, she became the head of Ping'an County again.

The old patriarch was so panicked that he knelt down and said, "The common people come to see the Lord of Ping'an County."

Seeing that the villagers behind him were about to kneel down, Xu Rongrong hurriedly pulled the old patriarch up: "Old patriarch, you don't have to be like this. I am young and ignorant. I was only ennobled because of chance. I can never bear the kneeling of you."

This group of people arrived suddenly and with such fanfare. When the deputy general knelt down on one knee in front of her, she knew that this must be Mu Rong's idea!

It really made her furious.

However, what she didn't expect was that when the old patriarch raised his head, tears were streaming down his face.

Xu Rongrong asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"

"Our Yujia Village is really... saved..." the old patriarch said word by word.

Five years of persecution taught him that fighting between the people and the government would not end well.

Therefore, he has always had doubts about whether Xu Rongrong can beat Huangzhuang.

But now, he was finally at ease.

The county head is a member of the royal family. If she comes forward in person, the day when Yujia Village will see the light of day is not far away.

In addition, half of the people brought by the deputy general will stay to guard Yujiacun.

After learning about this arrangement, not only the old patriarch felt at ease, but also the people in the village felt relieved.

After saying goodbye to the villagers, Xu Rongrong got on the carriage.

Opening the door, a warm feeling hits your face.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Mu Rong sitting leisurely in the corner with a smile on his lips.

Xu Rongrong glared.

Mu Rong naturally knew what the girl in front of him was angry about.

He smiled lightly and said: "I just want them to know who is helping them, so as not to thank the wrong person in the future when thanking them."
