Chapter 848: Couple Reunited
On this day, Luo Xiaoyu and Ganmei finally arrived at Wangjiazhuang.
Luo Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam, we've finally arrived."
Ganmei nodded slightly, with a hint of eagerness and expectation in her eyes, and asked, "Where is my husband?"
Luo Xiaoyu responded with a smile: "We'll be there soon, please rest assured." After that, the two of them rode towards the farmer's home.
Along the way, Ganmei's thoughts drifted away.
Walking in front of the farmer's house, the simple courtyard exudes a peaceful atmosphere.
Ganmei's steps speeded up a little unconsciously, and her heartbeat also accelerated slightly.
Luo Xiaoyu stepped forward and knocked on the firewood door gently, and the crisp knock on the door echoed outside the quiet courtyard.
While waiting, Ganmei clutched the corners of her clothes tightly and stared at the door, as if her husband would appear from behind the door the next moment.
Luo Xiaoyu shouted loudly: "Prime Minister, Xiaohong." His voice was full of joy and eagerness.
Xiaohong heard the sound and immediately walked out of the house quickly. Her smart eyes lit up instantly, with a bright smile on her face, and she said cheerfully: "Brother Xiaoyu, you are finally here!"
At the same time, Xiyu also heard the noise in the house. He put down the book he was reading, stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out leisurely with his usual calm demeanor.
His gaze swept across the crowd and paused briefly on Gan Mei, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness and guilt flashing through his eyes.
There was a trace of guilt and uneasiness on Xi Yu's face, and he whispered: "Ganmei, I have to say sorry to you. I asked you to come here before, but after thinking about it carefully, I really shouldn't let you run away all the way. This time. It wasn’t really that urgent. I didn’t think too much about it at the time.”
Ganmei smiled slightly and shook her head slightly, with understanding and open-mindedness in her eyes: "Husband, don't say that. What does it have to do with it? I always stay in the house on weekdays and rarely have the opportunity to go out for a walk. . Just give yourself a break and look at the scenery outside, which will make you feel better.”
Xi Yu looked at Gan Mei's calm face, but the guilt in his heart did not dissipate.
"But if I encounter any danger or trouble along the way, I... I really don't know how to face it."
"Okay, don't blame yourself. Don't you think I'm doing a good job? And I'm very happy that I can help you." Her comfort made Xi Yu feel warm and at the same time Gan Mei was moved by her understanding.
Luo Xiaoyu's face was full of concern and she said softly: "Madam, it's windy outside. You'd better go inside quickly to avoid the cold wind or encounter any accidents."
Ganmei was about to respond when Xiaohong hurriedly stepped forward.
Xiaohong bowed respectfully to Ganmei, with a trace of confusion and uneasiness in her eyes: "Madam, I...I have lost my memory, and now I don't recognize you at all. If there is any disrespect, I hope Madam will forgive you." Don't mind."
Seeing this, Ganmei reached out without hesitation and gently took Xiaohong's hand, her eyes full of pity: "Poor girl, I've heard all about it. This is not your fault, you don't have to be so scared. There is no need to have Too many worries.”
Xiaohong raised her head slightly, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes.
"Thank you Madam for your generosity. Although I can't remember the past, I can still feel Madam's kindness."
Ganmei nodded slightly.
"It doesn't matter. When you slowly regain your memory, everything will be fine."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard was a little warmer because of Ganmei's tolerance and kindness, as if the unknown haze had been temporarily dispelled.
The four of them slowly walked into the house, where the candlelight flickered and cast a dim light.
Xi Yu turned around and said to Luo Xiaoyu with sincere gratitude: "Luo Xiaoyu, you have worked so hard to make this trip this time. If you hadn't been involved in it, many things would not have gone so smoothly."
Luo Xiaoyu had a humble smile on her face and bowed slightly to respond.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you have spoken seriously. It is a great honor for me, Luo Xiaoyu, to do something for the Prime Minister. Your Majesty, you are usually busy with state affairs. I and other subordinates should do their best on these trivial matters."
Xi Yu nodded slightly, his eyes showing appreciation for Luo Xiaoyu.
"I have recorded this intention. There will definitely be more matters that rely on your talent and loyalty in the future."
Luo Xiaoyu saluted again.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for trusting me. Xiaoyu will not hesitate to do anything he wants."
Ganmei looked solemn and said slowly: "I still have to inform my husband about Sister Lin."
Hearing this, Xi Yu frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Who is Sister Lin?"
Luo Xiaoyu took a step forward and recounted the circumstances of her encounter with Sister Lin on the road: "Sir, Sister Lin is the person we met on the way. She is clever and charming..."
Gan Mei nodded lightly and said to Luo Xiaoyu: "In that case, go and bring Sister Lin here. Let's clarify the matter in person. Don't let her continue to cheat and do evil."
Luo Xiaoyu took the order and left.
Luo Xiaoyu hurriedly arrived outside in a moment.
I saw Sister Lin huddled on the horse, still in a coma.
Luo Xiaoyu bent down and picked her up.
Finally returning indoors, he gently placed Sister Lin on the ground.
At this time, everyone in the room focused their attention on Sister Lin's bloodless face.
Just now, after listening to Gan Mei's story, Xi Yu's face suddenly darkened, his eyes widened with anger, and the anger in his heart was burning.
"This kind of liar is really abominable! Luo Xiaoyu, wake her up quickly. I want to see what sophistry she can say!"
Luo Xiaoyu didn't dare to be negligent at all, so she quickly grabbed a washbasin and hurried outside the house.
He quickly filled a basin of water, turned around and hurried back.
Before anyone could react, he poured the entire basin of water towards the unconscious Sister Lin.
The cold water was like a heavy hammer. Sister Lin shuddered all over, as if she was suddenly pulled out of the endless dark abyss, and she woke up instantly.
She was breathing heavily, and her eyes were filled with fear and confusion at first. After she saw the people around her and the environment, they were quickly replaced by vigilance.
Sister Lin looked at Luo Xiaoyu with confused eyes, stood up suddenly, and asked eagerly: "Brother, where are you?"
Before she finished speaking, she realized that she was soaked all over, and she suddenly became angry and cursed: "What is going on? Why do you want to pour water on me?"
Then, her eyes glanced at Ganmei, with a trace of panic and confusion on her face.
"How did you get me here?" Then, her eyes moved to Xi Yu, looking at the majestic and extraordinary demeanor. Although she was a little frightened, she still pretended to be calm and asked: "Who are you? ?”
A meaningful sneer appeared at the corner of Xi Yu's lips, his eyes were full of scrutiny, and he said slowly: "I heard that you have the ability to arrange others to be officials at will, but is this such a thing? If you can really do it, hehe , can you also arrange a Dangdang for me?"
Sister Lin was stunned at first, and then she laughed "haha" as if she had heard some big joke.
But just as the laughter started, she caught a glimpse of Xi Yu with a stern face and a dignified expression from the corner of her eye. The smile just froze on her face. She knew in her heart that when she said these words in front of this person, it sounded like nothing. A kind of irony.
For a moment, she opened her mouth, but she didn't dare to say another word. She just flashed her eyes and avoided everyone's eyes with a guilty conscience, not knowing how to deal with this sudden embarrassing situation.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, with an undoubted majesty in his eyes, and asked in a more serious tone: "Did you hear me?"
Sister Lin trembled, and immediately put on a flattering smile on her face, and responded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, what kind of official do you want to be? As long as you tell me, I will try my best to arrange it for you."
Xi Yu ignored her words, changed the topic, stared at her with burning eyes, and asked again: "I heard that you and the Prime Minister's wife know each other?"
Sister Lin nodded fiercely subconsciously, feeling anxious in her heart, and quickly replied: "We know each other, we are very familiar with each other."
There was just a trace of panic in his eyes, trying to hide something, but this look became more and more suspicious in the eyes of everyone.
Xi Yu raised his hand slightly, and said in a calm tone but with a sense that he could not be disobeyed: "In that case, you should rest well for now. I will come to ask you again tomorrow."
After saying that, Xi Yu winked at Luo Xiaoyu. Luo Xiaoyu understood and walked up to Sister Lin and said coldly: "Come with me, I will take you to another room to stay."
When Sister Lin heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, her face full of doubts and uneasiness, and she hurriedly asked: "What does this mean? Why do you take me to another room?"
A sneer appeared on Luo Xiaoyu's face, her eyes full of warning.
"Just go if I tell you to. Just be obedient. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."
When Sister Lin saw this, although she was unwilling to do so, she did not dare to say any more words. She could only follow Luo Xiaoyu to the other room dejectedly. Along the way, she was anxiously guessing what would be waiting for her next. What.
Luo Xiaoyu will be back soon.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun has gradually faded away, and the sky is getting dark.
Xi Yu took out some coins from his sleeves and handed them to Luo Xiaoyu. His expression softened slightly and he said, "It's getting late. You can use the money to buy some food and drinks. Everyone is tired today. Let's have a meal together to relax. . As for everything, let’s leave it to tomorrow.”
Luo Xiaoyu took the currency respectfully and responded: "Yes, sir."
Then he turned around and walked out of the house quickly, facing the growing dusk, and headed towards the tavern.
Not long after, Luo Xiaoyu returned with wine and food, and the four of them sat around the table.
The candlelight flickered, reflecting on the slightly tired faces of everyone.

Just as they were about to use their chopsticks, Sister Lin, who was imprisoned in another room, shook the window crazily and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Who are you? Why are you locking me here? Let me out!" The sound was particularly abrupt and harsh in the silent courtyard.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hands, raised his voice and responded: "Don't shout anymore. If you shout and you become thirsty, no one will bring you water. Just wait and wait until we have finished eating. I’ll give you some leftovers later.”
After saying that, he ignored Sister Lin who continued to shout and turned around to signal to everyone to continue eating.
However, Sister Lin's shouting was like a thorn in the back, making the meal a bit dull.
Sister Lin's shouting failed to have any effect. Seeing that no one responded, she gradually lost strength and her voice turned into sad crying.
"Please, let me out, I didn't do anything..." The cry was full of helplessness and despair, and it spread far in the silent night.
However, Xiyu and the other two seemed to have not heard anything and just ate in silence.
Xi Yu looked calm and focused on the food in front of him.
Ganmei lowered her head slightly, occasionally glancing in the direction of the sound with her peripheral vision, a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say a word. Luo Xiaoyu had a stern look on her face, always paying attention to the movements around her to prevent any accidents from happening.
The whole room was shrouded in a subtle atmosphere. Only Sister Lin's crying echoed intermittently, along with the four people's slight chewing sounds and the clinking of bowls and chopsticks, creating a strange and stalemate picture.
After everyone finished eating, Xi Yu winked at Luo Xiaoyu. Luo Xiaoyu understood, got up, packed up some leftovers, and walked towards the room where Sister Lin was imprisoned.
When Sister Lin heard the footsteps, a glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes. When she saw that it was just leftover food, her eyes widened with anger and she cursed.
"You beasts, are you going to get rid of me with these things? Let me go!" Her hands were tightly grasping the window lattice, and her body was shaking violently with anger.
Luo Xiaoyu looked at her coldly and said expressionlessly: "Stop your wishful thinking. It is absolutely impossible to be let go. Do you like this food or not? If you starve yourself, no one will feel sorry for you. "
After that, he stuffed the food through the gap in the window, turned around and left regardless of how Sister Lin yelled.
Sister Lin looked at the pile of leftovers, angry and anxious, but she had no choice but to continue to vent her dissatisfaction and resentment inside the house, while the night outside became darker and darker, as if all the disputes and secrets were quietly swallowed up.
Luo Xiaoyu hurried back to Xi Yu and asked with a hint of worry on her face: "Sir, what should I do if this woman continues to make trouble in the middle of the night?"
Xi Yu raised his head slightly, with a trace of determination in his eyes, and said calmly: "Let her go. If she is willing to toss, she will do it. I don't believe she can stay awake. Sooner or later she will be tired and stop."
Time passed slowly, and just as Xi Yu expected, after making a fuss for a while, Sister Lin gradually lost her strength.
After all, my stomach was empty, and hunger came flooding in.
At first, she was disgusted with the leftovers, but now she didn't care much about it, and wolfed it down, and actually ate it with gusto.
The room finally returned to calm, with only the occasional slight chewing sound of Sister Lin remaining.
The morning light dews slightly, and a new day comes quietly.
Xi Yu got up early, with determination in his eyes, and gave instructions to the secret guards.
"Go, release Wang Henghua and take him to the open space next to the sorghum field in the village."
The secret guard knelt down on one knee, and after receiving the order, he flashed and quickly disappeared into the morning mist.
Then, Xi Yu turned to Luo Xiaoyu.
"You also take Sister Lin there. Today, it's time to get to the bottom of many things."
Luo Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, turned and walked towards the room where Sister Lin was detained.
At this time, Sister Lin looked slightly haggard after a night of hard work.
Luo Xiaoyu opened the door and said coldly: "Follow me."
Although Sister Lin was full of doubts and uneasiness, she did not dare to disobey and could only follow Luo Xiaoyu obediently.
In the open space next to the sorghum field, the breeze gently blew through the sorghum stalks, making a rustling sound, as if whispering for the upcoming confrontation.
Xi Yu stood with his hands behind his hands, quietly waiting for the arrival of Wang Henghua and Sister Lin. His figure looked particularly resolute in the morning light, as if all conspiracies and tricks were invisible to him.
After a while, people were brought.
Xi Yu's eyes flashed and he whispered to Luo Xiaoyu: "Go and call all the people in the village and let them come here to watch the fun. The more people, the better."
Luo Xiaoyu understood this and walked quickly towards the village.
The news spread quickly in the village as if it had wings. When the villagers heard that Wang Henghua was going to be unlucky today, their curiosity aroused. They all put down their work and rushed towards the sorghum field.
For a time, the originally silent sorghum field was crowded with people, and noises came and went.
"Have you heard? That guy Wang Henghua is going to get retribution."
"Yeah, I don't know what happened. We have to take a closer look."
Everyone was talking to each other, their eyes were full of anticipation and excitement, and they were all waiting for a good show to start.
Wang Henghua and Sister Lin were taken to the sorghum field and looked at each other, seeing embarrassment and confusion in each other's eyes.
Wang Henghua frowned, secretly thinking about what Sister Lin had committed, and she was involved in this.
Sister Lin was the first to lose control and shouted at Xi Yu: "Who are you? Why did you bring me here? I know the Prime Minister's wife. If you dare to offend me, you will never be able to bear the consequences! "
Her voice was trembling, and although she pretended to be calm, she could not hide the fear in her eyes.
When Wang Henghua heard Xi Yu's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. He was full of surprise: This woman actually claimed to have a relationship with the Prime Minister's wife? He raised his eyes to look at Sister Lin, with confusion and vigilance mixed in his eyes.
Xi Yu stood aside with a sneer on his lips, his eyes scanning back and forth between the two of them, as if he was examining two prey that had fallen into a trap.
"You all keep saying that you are related to the Prime Minister's wife, but I'm curious. I wonder if you are talking about the same wife?" Xi Yu paused, crossed his arms, and continued calmly, "That's alright, I will. I’ll give you a chance, you two might as well check it out.”
Sister Lin and Wang Henghua looked at each other, and for a moment neither of them dared to speak first.
Sister Lin felt uneasy. She knew that her lies were just made up to deceive. At this moment, facing Xi Yu's intriguing and teasing gaze, she felt like a light on her back.
At this time, the villagers came in like a tide, surrounding the open space next to the sorghum field.
Everyone was talking to each other, their eyes were focused on the strange Sister Lin, their faces were full of confusion and curiosity.
"Who is this woman? I have never seen her in the village before." An old man leaned on a cane and murmured with his eyes narrowed. (End of this chapter)
