Chapter 59 Someone is making a fuss

By the small river in Xiliu Village, Jiang Nu was washing clothes. Now the elders were working in the fields to prepare for autumn planting, and the younger generations like them could not help, so they could only do some housework.

Although Jiang Nu usually worked as a maid in the Yang family, she would go home to help her parents with housework during the busy farming season. Although she could not do other things, she was able to do washing clothes and cooking.

Jiang Nu put her father's shirt by the river, letting the flowing water wash it. Looking at her own reflection in the water, she couldn't help but sigh.

The young master has been in Weijiazhuang for a long time this time. Why hasn't he come back yet? And what happened in Weijiazhuang, should the young master be okay? Jiang Nu's face wrinkled as she thought about it.

It was already the end of July, and the news of what happened in Weijiazhuang in May had slowly spread throughout the area within a hundred miles. That incident that almost wiped out the entire Weijiazhuang family was always met with horror when people talked about it.

A group of mysterious killers almost wiped out the entire Weijiazhuang. You should know that the owner of Weijiazhuang was the Grand Marshal of Wei State, a well-known figure. But even so, Weijiazhuang still suffered such a misfortune, which makes people sigh. It turns out that being alive is really a very happy thing.

When the people of Xiliu Village talked about the massacre in Weijiazhuang, in addition to shock and fear, they also had another feeling.

Because there were also people from their village missing in Weijia Village.

Whenever the villagers of Xiliu Village talked about Weijiazhuang, they would think of the unfortunate Yang Chong. Yang Chong just went to his mother-in-law's house to discuss the wedding date, but he never expected that the happy event would turn into a sad event. Since the incident in Weijiazhuang, Yang Chong disappeared, and even the survivors of Weijiazhuang didn't know whether Yang Chong was dead or alive.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Thinking of what the villagers had been talking about over the past two months, Jiang Nu shook her head and quickly denied her own thoughts. That would not be good for the young master.

"Young master will surely be able to turn danger into safety. But, young master, why don't you come back?" Jiang Nu sighed. Fear and hope kept fighting in her heart, making her whole world dark. Could that little bit of hope really brighten her mood?
"Ms. Jiang, what are you thinking about?" While Ms. Jiang was feeling resentful, a figure stood beside her. Through the river water, Ms. Jiang knew who the person was without even looking up.

"Brother Qi, why are you here?" Jiang Nu stood up and took a few steps back.

Xiliu Village is not big, and all the families are either related or have very good relationships with the elders. Moreover, Qi Fu is quite famous in Xiliu Village. He is worldly-wise and skilled in martial arts. He is a leader among his peers and has been the child of other people's families in the eyes of adults since he was a child. Therefore, Jiang Nu is not unfamiliar with Qi Fu.

But why did he think of talking to me today? Jiang Nu looked at Qi Fu who came uninvited, and she was already more alert.

"Don't you want to know the news about Yang Chong?" Qi Fu said with a smile, and there was more scrutiny in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Nu.

In Xiliu Village, Jiang Nu is considered the most beautiful girl. If it were not for Yang Chong, as Jiang Nu grew up, the number of people proposing marriage to her would have broken down the door long ago.

However, Qi Fu, who knew Yang Chong's background, did not have such concerns. Although Jiang Nu was Yang Chong's maid, she was still a virgin. As for her closeness with Yang Chong in the past, Qi Fu did not care.

He was the same age as Yang Chong, and Yang Chong had been engaged last year, so how could he not be restless? Even if he had no plans to get married, he still felt physically restless.

Qi Fu, who was ambitious, naturally looked down on ordinary vulgar women. But in a rural area like Xiliu Village, let alone ordinary vulgar women, he didn't even have any women, so how could he expect ordinary vulgar women?

But Jiang Nu is different. She is just a small flower in the wasteland. Although she is not stunning, she is a rare embellishment among the wild mountains and ridges, and still has her own unique beauty. Therefore, Jiang Nu is the best choice for Qi Fu at the moment, especially now that Yang Chong is probably in danger, he is more active in his heart. At this time, his father has no reason to stop him.

"Is the young master back?" Jiang Nu was delighted and took a step forward, wanting to run away.

"He won't be coming back. To be more precise, he will never be coming back." Jiang Nu's excitement caught Qi Fu's eyes, only making a hint of gloom appear in his eyes.

Although he had numerous reasons, he still had years of accumulated hatred towards Yang Chong, because Yang Chong enjoyed everything that should have belonged to him.

"You are talking nonsense." Jiang Nu glared at him. She never thought that Qi Fu could be so annoying.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Don't you know what happened in Weijiazhuang? The house of Yang Chong's mother-in-law was burned down in a fire. No one survived. If Yang Chong was still alive, he would have returned long ago." Qi Fu said.

"Impossible, the young master will be fine." Jiang Nu retorted, but the hope in her heart dimmed even more.

"I also hope that he is okay, but hope is hope and facts are facts." Qi Fu said.

"No, even if something happens to everyone in Weijia Village, the young master will be fine." Jiang Nu said firmly, but her pale face betrayed her true thoughts.

Although she didn't believe that Yang Chong had really had an accident, the truth revealed by Qi Fu once again forced Jiang Nu to face the reality she didn't want to face.

"Ms. Jiang, if Yang Chong is not here, you have to think about yourself." Qi Fu persuaded her patiently. Although Ms. Jiang was not the woman he was most satisfied with, she was her best choice compared to other women. Besides, he was not going to marry a wife. When he restored the glory of his family in the future, he would have beauties of noble status for him to choose from.

"The young master will be fine, and I don't have to worry about my future. I just need to follow the young master." Jiang Nu pursed her lips and said stubbornly.

"Ms. Jiang, you have grown up..." Qi Fu wanted to say something, but Ms. Jiang didn't want to listen.

"Get out of here!" Jiang Nu picked up the mallet beside her and pointed at Qi Fu fiercely.

"Jiang Nu, don't be ungrateful." Qi Fu was angry because of Jiang Nu's stupidity and ignorance. What was so good about Yang Chong? He was just a fake who had used up all his luck. How could he be worthy of Jiang Nu's loyalty from now on?

"Qi Fu, Master Yang is looking for you." Just when Qi Fu was about to force further, a voice stopped him.

"Uncle Jiang, okay, I'll go right away." When Qi Fu saw the person coming, he quickly took two steps back. The person was none other than Jiang's father. Qi Fu didn't dare to bully someone else's daughter in front of a father.

Because Jiang Nu's father was his father's confidant, and he needed to call him uncle.
