“But he can’t take mine. I only have one grandson. I can’t let him take my grandson away!”
The Junior Officer was still around. When he heard Aunt Wang’s words, he wanted to kick her to death.
He looked at An Jiuyue and shook his head.
“Jiuyue, you can deal with this person however you like first. We can’t handle her.”
There was no need to be polite to such a shameless woman. No matter how An Jiuyue dealt with her, he would pretend not to see anything.
“Alright, Junior Officer.” An Jiuyue nodded at him.
After some thought, she added, “Remember to remind the villagers who came into contact with Old An’s family today to wash up properly so they don’t contract anything.
“I wasn’t joking about this just now. We have to be wary of this epidemic.”
The Junior Officer became nervous. Everyone was afraid of the epidemic. They would have hidden in the forest if they could bear to leave their homes. Moreover, there were no food and water in the forest, but there were wild beasts.
“I understand.”
We should be doing more than washing up. It’ll be best if everyone stays indoors today. What if something really happens after meeting Old An’s family?
He had to inform the villagers about this. The village had been peaceful, but Old An and his family have caused trouble for them today.
…
After the Junior Officer left, there were only three groups left at the treehouse.
Aunt Wang was still kneeling as she wailed, refusing to leave until An Jiuyue handed her son over to Ministry Councilor He.
Ministry Councilor He did not dare to say anything. His servants and thugs were no match for Yan Nuo.
Even if Yan Nuo had gone to chop some firewood now, he knew Qian Jiyun could defeat his people too. He was afraid.
However, he really could not stand Aunt Wang.
“What are you talking about? Your grandson is a treasure to you, but you treat someone else’s son like a weed. You think you can sell him whenever you like?”
He did not consider much back when he still had his sights on An Jiuyue. But now that he did not dare to do that, the sight of Aunt Wang made him want to rush over and kick her to vent his anger.
If he had someone like her by his side, he would have almost beaten her to death long ago!
“Jiuyue, Jiuyue, I’m begging you. Please help me.” Aunt Wang pleaded even more avidly when she saw the Junior Officer leave.
She stood up and pounced on An Jiuyue, ready to grab her hand and plead for mercy.
“Get lost!”
With no one else watching, An Jiuyue was no longer polite to Aunt Wang.
However, before An Jiuyue could lift her leg to kick her, she watched her body fly away.
She turned around and blinked at the man, who looked as if he never moved. She pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Stay away from her. She’s dirty,” Qian Jiyun spoke seriously and reached out to pull her closer to him.
He was a little worried after hearing An Jiuyue mention the epidemic several times. Nobody knew if Aunt Wang’s family contracted the disease during their trip.
“Do you not know how to hold back?”
An Jiuyue was not worried about the epidemic disease. She was just afraid he would kill her with a kick because he could not control his strength.
But it was not a big deal. Given Qian Jiyun’s status, everything could be settled if he really killed someone. She just found Aunt Wang dirty and did not want Qian Jiyun’s hands to be stained with such dirty blood.
