CHAPTER 393: CHAPTER 348: AUNT QIU KNEW SHE HAD ULTERIOR MOTIVES: "TELL ME IN DETAIL.

As someone who holds the power of space, of course, the eldest aunt is not worried.

Immediately following what the two had said, she took her family and left safely.

Only Ruan Mian descended from the mountain by the small path, heading back to the village against the stream.

At this moment, the bandits had already arrived in the village, swaggering into every household, clearing out items.

Anything edible or usable was taken away without exception.

Some who hadn’t managed to escape were threatened at gunpoint, trembling in fear.

No matter how those people pleaded, the bandit leader didn’t even blink.

Seeing this, Ruan Mian guessed that this group of people headed straight from the refugee point to the village with precision, being very familiar with everything here.

Was there a familiar face behind them guiding?

She slightly lowered her gaze, speculating that the origin of these bandits was unclear, so she temporarily restrained herself, pretending to be an ordinary villager without the strength to truss a chicken and got tied up by several bandits.

Meanwhile, Zhang Rong’er and others were in a state of panic.

Seeing everyone fleeing in all directions, she kicked the lazy Zhang Xingzhi, who was lying on the bed, awake.

"The fire’s at our doorstep, why aren’t you running! The bandits have entered the village, and they’re going to kill!"

The previously angry person, upon hearing there was going to be killing, sprang up from the bed like a startled bird!

Without time to properly dress, he dashed outside.

While running, he didn’t forget to shout: "Mother! Mother, run! The bandits have entered the village, and they’re going to kill."

But Zhang Xingzhi only shouted; his running legs didn’t stop, and by the time the Ye Family reacted, Zhang Xingzhi was already out of sight.

She frowned suddenly, while Zhang Rong’er couldn’t suppress her anger any longer and shouted out.

"That bastard! When disaster strikes, everyone flies their own path! Mom, look at your precious son, what good is it to have a son like that!"

She quickly put on her shoes, but was stopped by the Ye Family at the door.

"What are you panicking about?"

Zhang Rong’er was astonished: "Mom, aren’t we facing a calamity? Shouldn’t we be panicking? Let’s run."

Ye Family, however, crossed her arms with a smug look and said calmly: "Those bandits won’t touch you or me, so we just have to sit back and watch."

Hearing this, Zhang Rong’er seemed to realize something, showing a face full of disbelief, she whispered.

"Mom... those bandits, could it be you..."

"Shh... your father doesn’t know about this yet. But he’ll thank me later. Don’t panic, just sit tight."

Seeing the Ye Family so calm, the heavy weight in Zhang Rong’er’s heart suddenly lifted.

The chaotic shouting outside the courtyard now became background noise, and the pride in Zhang Rong’er’s heart was about to overflow from her eyes.

She clung to the Ye Family, flattering.

"It’s got to be you, Mom, you’re incredible. But with so many bandits, how did you persuade them all by yourself?"

"Is there someone you know among them?"

Zhang Rong’er was eager to know the truth, but suddenly there was an urgent shout from the doorway.

It turned out Zhang Hexsong had also been caught. He intended to go back to take his son and leave, but couldn’t escape the bandits’ eyes. He was tied up right at the courtyard gate.

Zhang Hexsong struggled and yelled: "You thugs, release me at once! Is it that none of you want to live? How dare you..."

Before he could finish, the Ye Family opened the courtyard door.

She swept a glance over the bandits, cleared her throat, and ordered imperiously.

"How can you treat our master like this? Do you not know that our master is the relief envoy? Let him go immediately."

After speaking, she didn’t forget to wink at the bandit leader, asserting that she was in cahoots with Aunt Qiu and others, all were comrades.

Surely they would let her family go.

However, the outcome was beyond Ye Family’s expectation. The bandits completely ignored her, their eyes turned fierce, and several men captured her and Zhang Rong’er together.

Ye Family was stunned and loudly scolded.

"You! What are you doing? I’m the relief envoy’s wife, I’m with you! I made an agreement with Aunt Qiu, you can’t touch my family! Release us immediately!!" Hearing this, Zhang Hexsong sharply raised his head, glaring as he questioned her.

"What did you say? What’s this got to do with Aunt Qiu?"

Seeing the situation, the Ye Family could no longer wait to speak out.

"These bandits were persuaded by Aunt Qiu and that coachman together, they are with us, they will help us deal with the Ruan Family."
