Chapter 2524: Chapter 2524: Besides Knowing About Your Mother, What Else Do You Know?
"Chief, have our land deeds been processed yet? Do we really need a few more days?"
One of the men was the most anxious and asked directly. He had heard the Chief tell Scholar Que before that it would take three days to handle the land deeds.
A lot has changed in these three days, especially since Scholar Que has already gone to the county.
"Originally, it would have taken a few more days, but you guys encountered a really good person. With just one word from the Princess of the Third Rank, these land deeds have already been sorted out." The Chief patted his chest; all those land deeds were with him.
Before, An Que wanted to grab them, but that was just daydreaming. Once something was in his hands, would he let An Que take it back?
He jumped down from the horse carriage and smiled cheerfully at them.
"Really?"
The crowd was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this.
"Chief, thank you. We... Oh, we need to thank the Princess of the Third Rank, thank her for speaking on our behalf so we could easily get the land deeds back."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The crowd all expressed their gratitude to An Jiuyue inside the carriage.
An Jiuyue also peeked her head out of the carriage and smiled at these honest villagers.
"It was just a matter of a few words, everyone. No need to be like this. You should all go home. Please, Chief, distribute the land deeds to everyone. In the future, don’t hand over your belongings to those with ulterior motives."
After she said this, she had the secret guards drive the carriage away. As for the Chief, since they were already at the village entrance, he was supposed to return with the people and not need to ride her carriage.
"Chief, these land deeds..."
"Come to my house, I’ll give you all the land deeds." The Chief, eager to resolve this matter, called everyone to his home.
Only after returning these land deeds to the villagers could he ease his mind and enjoy his dinner in peace.
"Alright, alright."
The crowd responded and followed the Chief to his house together.
...
At An Que’s house, Old Lady An was still sitting on the ground, refusing to get up.
The old lady looked at the damp ashes in the middle of the courtyard, as if a pile of money had been thrown into a water full of piranhas; clearly, it was there but impossible to retrieve.
She was full of regret, regretting sending her family out, regretting thinking these useless things wouldn’t be found with her watching over them, so she watched over to find her precious grandson herself.
If she had stayed at home, this wouldn’t have happened!
But Auntie Mei secretly took her child back to the room and even dragged her husband with her.
"What are you doing? Mother is still in the courtyard!"
Second Elder An glared at his wife, feeling that this wife was unbearable, as his mother was still in the courtyard, yet she went into the room.
"Mother, mother, is there anything else you care about besides your mother? Is she sitting in the courtyard for you? That’s for the first house, what’s it got to do with our second house?"
Auntie Mei rolled her eyes and whispered angrily at her husband.
"You—"
Second Elder An was also angry hearing his wife’s words.
He always knew his mother favored him, but what could he do? She was his own mother, after all. Could he possibly disown her?
