It was only in the evening when Lee Hanyu and Luo Xiaoxue finally returned home. However, when they reached the entrance of the house, they found a lot of people looking in with their heads stretched out.

"Eh? He's here. " Lady Wu screamed at the top of her lungs. The rest of the people who were still peeking into the room also turned to look at Lee Hanyu and Luo Xiaoxue.

"Aiya, you've really made us wait." Wu Haoyuan slapped her on the face in an exaggerated manner.

"That's right, we've been waiting for a long time."

"Right, I'm still hungry."

"Auntie Wu, what are you guys doing?"

Luo Xiaoxue asked in confusion. They didn't look like they were here to cause trouble, so why were there so many people?

"You're really forgetful. Aren't we waiting for you to sell that cooked food?" Grandma Wu said with a shy smile.

The other villagers that had surrounded them hurriedly nodded their heads and said that they had eaten the roast pork before. Now, they were not satisfied and wanted to eat some more.

"Auntie Wu, it's all gone today." Luo Xiaoxue didn't expect that the cooked food would be so popular. She was momentarily taken aback.

"Gone?" When Lady Wu heard this, she was surprised for a moment before quickly saying, "Is the price of the delicacies going to rise? "Then it's fine, why don't you just pack one for each of us."

Luo Xiaoxue heard her words and looked at Lee Hanyu blankly. She didn't expect them to think that the price was going to rise and they would be willing to buy it even if the price were to rise.

The rest of the people were also jeering at him, all wanting to sell the delicacies in order to satisfy their cravings.

"Aunt Wu, you misunderstand." Luo Xiaoxue smiled in embarrassment, "Lee Hanyu didn't manage to get any prey today, so the cooked food can't be sold. He'll come up the mountain tomorrow to have a look. If he does, then we'll definitely sell it tomorrow at this time."

Hearing Luo Xiaoxue's promise, the slightly disappointed Lady Wu had no other choice but to sigh. "Alright, then I'll come back tomorrow. When the time comes, you must leave a copy for me."

"Of course, of course." Luo Xiaoxue nodded as she promised.

The rest of the people also emphasized that they would come with their eyebrows knitted together and that they must keep a copy for them.

Lee Hanyu and Luo Xiaoxue nodded their heads in agreement. After everyone had left, Luo Xiaoxue finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?" Lee Hanyu looked at the panting Luo Xiaoxue in confusion.

"I didn't expect him to be so good. Soon, we'll be able to open a shop in the town." Luo Xiaoxue looked at Lee Hanyu with a smile.

Right now, she could already see countless amounts of silver flying towards her. Presumably, her days were not too far away.

"Mm, when I earn money, I'll listen to you rent a shop in the town." Lee Hanyu nodded and said indifferently.

The two of them had already imagined a beautiful future, but they had no choice but to face the cruelty of reality.

"Is this Lee Hanyu's house?"

Suddenly, a loud shout woke the two of them from their reverie.

The sudden appearance of a group of people puzzled Luo Xiaoxue. Furthermore, from the looks of it, they seemed to be from the yamen.

"I am Lee Hanyu, I don't know …" Lee Hanyu stepped forward and stood in front of Luo Xiaoxue, puzzled. But before he could finish, the bailiff stepped forward.

"Take him away." A middle-aged man in official uniform beside him stroked his small beard as he shouted.

"Wait, what did I do to actually want to capture me?" Lee Hanyu looked at the official who had already suppressed him with both of his hands in confusion.

"Yeah, Lee Hanyu hasn't even left the village, what can he do to alert the lords?" Luo Xiaoxue rushed forward to stop the officials.

"You want to know? "Then I'll tell you." The official arrogantly looked down at Luo Xiaoxue and said in a weird voice: "Lee Hanyu recently sold some medicine to the Sima Family, and now Sir Sima is lying sick on his bed with poison. If he dares to sell poison, naturally, I will bring him back to the yamen. "

Poison? Luo Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, then remembered the medicinal ingredients that Lee Hanyu had asked him to bring along the Sima Family. She knew all about them, so how could it be poison?

"Milord, milord, there must have been a misunderstanding. How could Lee Hanyu dare to use poison to harm young master Sima?" Luo Xiaoxue rushed forward to stop the observers and explained.

"I don't care. It's natural to know whether it's true or false to bring him back for a beating." As the middle-aged man spoke, he waved to the officials and ordered, "Take him away!"

Lee Hanyu wanted to struggle a few times, but the official held him down tightly and even cuffed him. Even if he wanted to struggle, he couldn't do anything.

"Lee Hanyu!" "Lee Hanyu, I will save you, don't worry, I might save you."

Luo Xiaoxue looked at Lee Hanyu, who was being led away, but couldn't catch up due to the officials who used their sabers to block in front of her.

Lee Hanyu, who was dragged away, heard her voice get smaller and smaller, yet was unable to respond. However, he didn't believe that Luo Xiaoxue would lie to him. That medicine definitely wasn't poison, and she would definitely save him.

Luo Xiaoxue looked at the direction in which Lee Hanyu was taken away. She was so anxious that she was like an ant on a hot pan, not knowing what to do.

"Where's Hanyu?" Where's my Hanyu? "

Suddenly, a mournful cry rang out, startling Luo Xiaoxue.

"mother …" Luo Xiaoxue looked at Lee's Mother who walked over shakily with the support of Lee Rong and called out in a hoarse voice.

"Don't call me mother. I don't have a daughter-in-law like you. How could an honest person like my family's Hanyu do anything bad? He was even taken away by the Shangguan family. My life was miserable …" Lee's Mother cried in grief.

Lee Rong saw that Lee's Mother was in a hurry to get back on her feet again, so Lee Xin went up to support her. He was afraid that she might fall down again.

"Enough, don't cry. This has already happened, what's the use of crying." Lee's Father reprimanded with a bad expression as he looked at Lee's Mother who was crying nonstop and then at the surrounding villagers, who were accumulating more and more.

With that, Lee's Mother stopped crying and sobbed.

"What should I do now?" Lee's Father knew Luo Xiaoxue was a smart person, so he stepped forward and asked her what she thought.

"Dad, don't worry, I can definitely take care of this matter." Luo Xiaoxue nodded earnestly as she promised, then continued, "You guys go back first, I'll go to the city first thing tomorrow morning. I'll bring Lee Hanyu back in two days."

Lee's Father was silent for a while after hearing her words before he nodded: "Okay, then we will go back. It's not safe for you to go to the city by yourself tomorrow.

"Mm. Alright." Luo Xiaoxue didn't think much of it. However, Lee's Father was worried about her safety, so she didn't refuse since Lee Xin might be of some help to her.

Afterwards, Lee's Father pulled Lee's Mother back without saying anything. The rest of the villagers also left in embarrassment as they saw that the liveliness had disappeared.
