Hearing this, Madam Liu smiled and nodded.

She was just about to instruct her when Madam Qian took the initiative to say it. Since they had the same thoughts, she did not have to say anything more. No wonder Ye Muyu and Madam Qian had a good relationship.

“Mom, you should be careful at home,” Ye Muyu said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get someone to bring a puppy back later. If someone really comes close, we can hear it bark.”

“Just wait for another month and a half. When that time comes, everything will be settled once Ah Heng becomes a high scholar.” Madam Liu was also worried, but she also knew that it was useless to worry. She might as well live her life in a down- to-earth manner. She had to guard against the Wang family. She did not need to tell anyone else about these thoughts.

Madam Qian returned home.

When her family asked her about this, she only said that the Tang family was pitiful.

There was nothing else.

When Ye Muyu returned home, Madam Hu came up to greet her. She looked outside the courtyard and asked in a low voice, “Madam, are you alright?”

“Don’t be too nervous. Even if Landlord Wang wanted to scheme against me, he wouldn’t be shouting and killing me in broad daylight.” Ye Muyu patted the back of her hand to reassure her.

She was not worried about herself. As long as the two children were safe, it was fine.

“I’m afraid you’ll meet some bad people again.” Madam Hu smiled bitterly.

“This has just happened in the village. It won’t be easy for the evildoers to come back. With Landlord Wang’s ability, he won’t put such a big thing in the hands of others. This can be assured.”

Ye Muyu said it based on her family’s situation.

After all, Chu Heng had broken Wang Yan’s arm the last time, and the injury would slowly heal. However, the Wang Family’s Third Young Master was dead now, and Tang Rou had run away. She was more or less worried about Mrs. Tang and the others.

Ye Muyu asked Madam Hu to boil some sugar water for the two children who were reading in the study.

Liu Hai went to the county and had not returned yet. When he came back with Tang Chuan, he stayed at the Tang family’s house.

After Han Zhuang knew about Ye Muyu’s arrangements, he walked forward and bowed. “Madam, Master asked me to stay with Liu Hai to protect Madam. We can’t leave.”

“Then do you still have manpower?” Ye Muyu felt that if Landlord Wang really sent someone to attack the Tang family, she could use this as leverage. At least, Landlord Wang would be a little afraid and not attack the Chu family.

Han Zhuang nodded. “Yes, As long as Madam doesn’t let me leave with Liu Hai.”

“Alright, then arrange for another person to go to the Tang family. It’ll be done by today.” Seeing that Han Zhuang was about to object, Ye Muyu stopped him. “Don’t worry, Landlord Wang won’t make a move today. The house is safe. Just do it. Liu Hai will be back soon.”

“I will come back as soon as possible.” Seeing Ye Muyu’s firm attitude, Han Zhuang did not dare to say anything more. He drove the remaining mule cart away.

The following days passed quickly.

Ever since the incident at the school, Village Chief Li Youde had gathered the villagers to patrol on time every day.

There were also people guarding the village entrance. Any stranger who entered the village had to be checked. Even if they were visiting relatives, the villagers had to go to the village entrance to pick them up personally.

As a result, the people guarding the Tang family had indeed not met any strangers.

The quiet days passed quickly.

Usually, Madam Qian would come over to talk to Ye Muyu when she was free.

It was already autumn, and the weather was getting colder.

Ye Muyu studied with the children at home every day.

Three days later…

Early in the morning, someone knocked on the courtyard door..
