The patrol team would come to find his beloved daughter for any matter, so Yang Chaoyi didn't think too much, "The banquet is about to start, go and come back quickly."

Yang Mengchen nodded and, accompanied by Long Xuanmo, Sister Jin, and others, as well as Xiao Guai and Xiao Bai, followed Wang Erzhu to the entrance of the village.

Even from tens of meters away, they could hear an extremely domineering and arrogant voice shouting shrilly, "A bunch of ignorant serfs, how dare you obstruct us? Do you know who we are?"

"You don't even know who you are yourselves, look at the sorry state you live in," Yang Mengchen's calm voice was filled with biting sarcasm.

Seeing Yang Mengchen and company approaching, the patrollers heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. If it hadn't been for the Ninth Sister's early warning that they should remain calm in the face of trouble and not act rashly, they would have beaten these arrogant, foul-mouthed people until they cried for their fathers and mothers.

"Ninth Sister, you're here." Yang Mengchen was intelligent and capable and had led the villagers to prosperity, so the patrol members were both grateful and admiring of her.

Yang Mengchen nodded with a smile, just barely noticeably.

The old man who had just been shouting, upon turning his head and seeing the one mocking him was a young girl, flew into a rage out of embarrassment, "You little wretc—... Ah...!"

A shrill, dreadful scream, as the old man fell heavily to the ground, his slightly pale right cheek instantly swelling up like a freshly steamed bun, a clear imprint of five fingers visible, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and on the cement ground lay two blood-stained teeth.

Pulling out a handkerchief and wiping his hands, Mo Yun tossed it on the ground with a look of disgust.

Hai Tang was ready to make a move, but Mo Yun was half a step faster. Seeing this, she withdrew her Inner Strength, satisfied with Mo Yun's action of protecting their young lady.

The patrol members surrounded Yang Mengchen, eyes blazing with anger as they glared at the old man.

Long Xuanmo's face was grim and frosty, and a dense murderous intent was harbored in his deep eyes, "Whoever dares disrespect her, shall be killed without mercy!"

Mo Lei immediately stepped forward, sealed the old man's mute acupoint, glanced at Yang Mengchen subconsciously, and then quickly carried the old man away.

"Prince... Prince Chen..."

Xiao Guai and Xiao Bai occupied the positions to the left and right of Yang Mengchen. Long Xuanmo had to walk behind her, continuously staring down Xiao Guai and Xiao Bai with a lowered head, which is why the people from Xiao Mansion didn't notice Long Xuanmo's presence at first.

Now seeing him there, especially with the White Tiger and White Wolf by the young girl's side glaring at them as if ready to pounce and devour them at any moment, they were so scared that their legs gave out and they knelt heavily on the ground, faces pale, bodies shaking like sieves.

"The servant (old servant) is acting on orders, begging Prince Chen to spare my life!" Prince Chen was known for his cold-heartedness, and they did not want to follow in the footsteps of the old servant who always followed the old master.

Without any change in expression, Long Xuanmo barely pursed his lips and remained silent, his eyes turning towards Yang Mengchen.

Yang Mengchen's lips curved into a small, strange arc, "Whose orders are you following? What brings you here?"

Looking at the old sister kneeling in front of them, the two young people bowed their heads and dared not speak.

The trusted servant previously sent by Old Lady Xiao had already been dealt with, but they still dared to send more people, causing Yang Mengchen to admire Old Lady Xiao's audacity.

"Old servant follows the orders of the old master." The old sister answered truthfully, "The old master ordered us to take the Sixth Young Lady back to the capital. If the Third Old Master and the Sixth Young Lady refuse, we were to kidnap the Sixth Young Lady, also to accuse the Third Old Master of defiance and unfilial behavior, leading to his dismissal from his post and loss of reputation.

He even said..."

"He said what?" Yang Mengchen asked, her calm tone revealing no emotion.

Stealing glances at Long Xuanmo, the old sister felt cold sweat soaking her clothes, despite the sun's warmth, "The old master also said the Yang family, being mere serfs, dared to covet the young lady of the Xiao family, utterly ignorant of their place. Once the Sixth Young Lady is taken away, the old master plans to send someone to wipe out the Yang family.

I've told you everything, I beg Prince Chen to spare my life!" Having said that, she continued knocking her head on the ground.
