The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1879: Chapter 1879: The Pan Family’s Plan

Shu Yu’s expression was grave, and he turned his head to Xia Yan and said, ”Go find the patrol officers, bring Chen Bing to the government office, the county magistrate wants to file a complaint.”

”Yes.”

”No, I didn’t, don’t go, don’t go.” Chen Bing’s voice was shrill, his eyes almost bursting as he looked at Xia Yan.

The latter wouldn’t pay attention to him and ran off to find someone.

However, the officers who were previously nowhere to be seen now quickly followed Xia Yan to the Chen Family.

They first greeted Shu Yu and without a word began to seize Chen Bing.

The Chen Family was in shock, clutching onto Chen Bing and refusing to let go, ”Bailiff, Bailiff, spare us, our Lord hasn’t done those things, he’s been wronged.”

The officers’ faces hardened, ”Whether he’s been wronged will be judged at the Office by the Lord. Let go quickly, obstructing officers from handling the case is as guilty, do you want to be seized too?”

The Chen Family was startled and quickly let go.

Crying and shouting, Chen Bing was dragged away by two officers; with his injured foot, every step sent a cold sweat running down his back.

Shu Yu and the others then went out, boarded a carriage, and followed slowly behind.

The Pan Family members were all in a daze, feeling that it was over. Eldest Pan hurriedly ran to the backyard to find his father for advice.

But what could Old Man Pan suggest? He had just recovered from a serious illness, and hearing the commotion in the front yard made him uncomfortable. Later, after hearing the servants explain the course of events, he felt frustrated and unlucky. Chen Bing had offended the county magistrate and forged an official document years ago; if there was no evidence, it would be fine, but if there was, wouldn’t he be sentenced to exile?

Old Man Pan only told Eldest Pan to follow them and act accordingly.

Eldest Pan was about to leave but was called back by Old Man Pan at the door. After careful consideration, he finally said to his son, ”If it comes to a point where it cannot be salvaged, then have your sister divorce him.”

”Father, this...”

”What do you mean ’this’, do we have to let our whole Pan Family be dragged down by him?”

Eldest Pan thought for a moment, realizing it was true; the Pan Family had many people and still needed to live.

He gritted his teeth, ”I understand, Father.”

With that, he hurriedly chased after them.

The courtyard was empty, everyone followed the officers’ procession toward the government office.

The procession was large and imposing, with Chen Bing as the focal point, wishing he could bury his head underground.

The Chen Family followed behind, Ms. Pan and Chen Qiu weeping, Chen He with a sullen expression, not speaking to his wife along the way.

As they were nearing the government office, Chen Bing realized that if he missed this chance, it would be too late.

He endured the pain, turned his head, and desperately looked for Chen Qiu. Upon seeing his daughter, he made signs to her to seek help from Xun Sheng.

Chen Qiu paused for a moment, then her face lit up with realization, she quickly nodded and ran to Xun Sheng, who was also following behind.

Xun Sheng looked at her unsure of what to say; his classmate watching Chen Qiu did so with a guarded expression. It was undeniable that Chen Bing’s character was questionable, and as a daughter, this classmate felt she did not appear as virtuous as she seemed.

Chen Qiu ignored others’ glances, wiping her tears she softly said, ”Brother Xun, please help my father. I don’t know what my father did before, but no matter what he did, he’s still my father, and I can’t bear to watch him face trouble. Brother Xun, consider the fact that I saved you before, help me this one time, as repayment for this favor.”
