Han Yuqing had to hold back what was about to come out of his mouth, and turned to the person who came and smiled: "Cousin."
The person who came was Gu Changde, the eldest son of the Gu family and the head of Pingning Town. His appearance at this time made Xia Shanshan so scared that her legs trembled.
"Are you scared now?" Xia Qianqian reached out to support her and cursed in a low voice.
Xia Shanshan felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say it.
Mrs. Gu smiled: "My son is here. It's just right that you are the head of the village, so you can put an end to this matter!"
Gu Changde smiled slightly and asked Han Yuqing: "Cousin, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"I..." Han Yuqing hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I'd like to listen to my cousin's judgment."
"No, this is not official business since we are talking about it in front of our house. Since it is not official business, I cannot express my opinion. You women should handle your own affairs." Gu Changde said.
Han Yuqing was smart and had already understood that Gu Changde was testing her character, so she refused to express her opinion: "Let my eldest cousin speak. I don't know what to do either."
"Changde, you should solve the case as soon as possible. Yuqing has been very wronged in this matter." Mrs. Gu glanced at the Xia Qianqian sisters with contempt.
Xia Qianqian raised her head, her face calm and her eyes clear: "I am willing to listen to Master Gu's advice."
"Call him the village head." Mrs. Gu glared at Xia Qianqian.
Gu Changde smiled and said, "Mom, if we are not in court, I am the eldest young master of the Gu family. Miss Xia is right to call me that."
"Alright, alright. It's so cold, you should solve the case quickly," said Mrs. Gu.
Gu Changde then said slowly, "I talked to the priest today. She said that Xia Qianqian is kind-hearted and especially pious to the gods. She also intends to take Xia Qianqian as her disciple and let her be the priest of our Pingning Town in the future."
Mrs. Gu was shocked and was about to ask a question when Han Yuqing quietly pulled her back. Han Yuqing knew that she was already out of the game, and while she was sad, she was also glad that she hadn't asked to take on the role of the Jade Girl yet.
"Everything in the world is the will of God. I don't think there is any need to change this matter. The Han family is a scholarly family and never cares about the mundane affairs of the town. Han Yuqing came to participate in the election just to visit the Gu family and participate by the way." Gu Changde said, which not only protected Xia Qianqian's position as a jade girl, but also gave Han Yuqing enough face.
Xia Shanshan looked up in surprise and looked at Gu Changde. He actually left Xia Qianqian's position as a virgin? However, she felt that Gu Changde looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before...
"Young Master Gu?" Xia Qianqian did not expect this result and suspected that Gu Changsheng had instructed Gu Changde to do this.
Han Yuqing felt heartbroken, but she still maintained the demeanor of a lady from a noble family and said with a smile, "My eldest cousin is right. The Han family never cares about false reputation. Miss Xia Qianqian, go back and prepare well, and participate in the sacrifice tomorrow."
"Miss Han is so magnanimous. Xia Qianqian is very grateful. I owe Miss Han a favor. If Miss Han needs anything in the future, Xia Qianqian will do her best to help her." Xia Qianqian bowed deeply and took Xia Shanshan away.
Mrs. Gu closed the door and angrily scolded Gu Changde: "How did you handle the case? How could you let that girl get away with it?"
"Aunt, my cousin is right. We should be more tolerant and not lose our composure." Han Yuqing forced a smile. Gu Changde suddenly intervened, perhaps it was Gu Changsheng's intention. Changsheng really sided with Xia Qianqian.
"Ah, you young people... you make me so angry." Madam Gu waved her sleeves and walked away.
Gu Changde smiled and said to Han Yuqing: "I will write a letter to my uncle. When you go back one day, he won't blame you."
