Chapter 207: Recognition

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The sudden arrival of so many n.o.ble people created a stir in the village, with many villagers abandoning their work to follow them down the mountain.

For most of these villagers, who had spent their entire lives toiling in the fields, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They had never seen high-ranking officers or n.o.ble figures before, and the prospect of witnessing such a spectacle was too enticing to pa.s.s up.

One woman, in particular, decided to take half a day off from her work to catch a glimpse of the n.o.bles and their show. Her curiosity was piqued, and she didn’t want to miss out on this rare occasion.

As more villagers saw their peers heading down the mountain to watch the show, even those who initially had no intention of going changed their minds and joined in the fun. After all, they were willing to put in the hard work in the fields, so why not enjoy a break and see what was happening?

Life in the countryside might be challenging, but it offered them the freedom to make such spontaneous decisions. During the busy farming season, taking a few days off was out of the question, but this unexpected event provided a welcome opportunity for a small reprieve.

Once the village chief had departed, Qian Dashan finally released Ms. Lin’s mouth.

Fuming with annoyance, Ms. Lin was eager to unleash her anger on Qian Dashan, but Qian Erhu intervened, stopping her from doing so. Despite that, she couldn’t contain her frustration and lashed out at Qian Dashan, “You coward! You are so timid and you don’t allow me to fight for profits!”

Qian Dashan’s frustration reached a boiling point, and he was on the verge of hitting Ms. Lin when Qian Erhu intervened.

“Dad, please don’t. Mom is already in a bad situation. Hitting her won’t solve anything, ” Qian Erhu implored.

Qian Dashan took a deep breath, trying to reason with Ms. Lin. “Can’t you see the situation clearly? I just told you that n.o.ble people from the capital are visiting the Su Family. What if they are indeed relatives? We can’t afford to offend them!”

Ms. Lin’s excitement seemed to cloud her judgment, and she retorted sharply, “You’re the one who’s stupid! If they had wealthy relatives, why didn’t their father tell them before? Why would he come to this impoverished place from the capital?”

“In my opinion, they are not relatives, but enemies!” “That poor man came to the Qian Village for refuge!”

Ms.Lin’s words made sense to Qian Dashan and his son.

Qian Dashan said, “Then let’s go down the mountain and take a look!”

“But I have to remind you that you are not allowed to cause any more trouble until we know what is going on!”

“I got it!”

As Ms.Lin made the promise, so Qian Dashan and his son took her down the mountain.

At the entrance of the Su Family’s yard, four opulent wagons were elegantly parked, each drawn by two magnificent horses. Surrounding the gate stood twelve guards, their presence formidable, each armed with a knife.

A diligent coachman tended to the horses, providing them with dry gra.s.s to munch on and water to quench their thirst.

The spectacle had drawn almost all the remaining villagers to gather around, eager to catch a glimpse of the unfolding events. However, they were restricted from entering the Su Family’s house, so they could only observe from outside.

Curiosity ran high among the villagers, and they exchanged speculations about the visitors’ ident.i.ties and purpose.

“How many officers are here, and how many n.o.ble people came from the capital?”

“Do you think they’ve come for revenge?”

Those who were fortunate enough to witness the scene firsthand eagerly shared their accounts.

“I saw clearly that four individuals disembarked from the four wagons.”

“Two of them are wearing official hats and uniforms. One is the governor, and the other is County Magistrate.”

“As for the other two men, one of them is old, but he seems to have the highest status. The clothes he is wearing are obviously very expensive, and the cuffs and clothes are hand-embroidered. One would cost more than a thousand liang. ”

“The other man is younger, about 30 years old, and he is dressed luxuriously.

He must be rich.”

“They only said that they were looking for Su Bin’s family. I don’t know why.”

“Someone has already gone to the mountains to fetch the village chief and Su Bin home.”

“Su Qing is by himself in the room now..”
