The first carriage was filled with women, and the carriages behind were the same. At this point, it was awkward for the master to step forward, and the only male was now speechless and unable to refute what was being said, creating an embarrassing situation.

If that were all, it would be fine, but the men on the other side started to make trouble and even started cursing. One of them even rushed up and tried to grab the Lin family's carriage and drag them aside.

But the area below is all farmland, and if the carriage gets driven in, it will be very difficult to push it out again.

They had important matters to attend to on this trip, so Sister-in-law Hu could only lift the curtain and look outside. "Gentlemen, we really can't make way here, and we also have urgent business to attend to. If you would be willing to do us a favor, we would be very grateful!"

“Who cares about your thank-you gift?” The man opposite him remained unmoved, but the men standing behind him began to get restless.

They're just a bunch of young women and a greenhorn; let's see how they handle this.

Just as he was about to step forward and drive the carriage into the field, he was stopped by the servants and guards who had rushed over from behind.

These men then realized that besides the women, there were so many strong men behind them. It was all because the carriage in front was too weak, giving them a false impression, and they couldn't help but want to retreat.

But thinking of the promises they made, he hardened his heart. After all, they were just ordinary people. What could they possibly do to him?
"We're giving you one more chance. Get out of the way now, or don't blame us for being impolite."

"I'd say you lot are being incredibly unreasonable. If I'm not mistaken, move back a bit; there's more space there, and you can still pass each other." Lin Wei had dealt with so many things with the master and had already figured out the trickery involved. He didn't want to get involved, but the other party was blocking his mistress's way.

"Who are you? This is between her and me, it has nothing to do with you, don't get involved." The man opposite him never expected so many carriages to come to this road today, but when he thought about the several large estates ahead, he realized that the manor owners must be the ones who own them.

“But you’re blocking our way here,” Lin Wei said, taking a step forward. The others, remembering that their master’s car was behind them, also stepped forward.

With so many of them, are they really afraid of just a few people?

"We've already said this is between me and them, it has nothing to do with you. Once we've dealt with it, we'll naturally make way for you!" the leading man said boldly, trying to pin the conflict solely on him and the Lin family's carriage.

If we drag these other people into it, things will get complicated, and they won't be able to handle it.

“There’s only one problem now: you are indeed blocking our way,” Lin Wei said, approaching the eldest son of the Lin family. “And didn’t you realize? We’re all on the same side, so why are you causing trouble for them?”

The men's pupils contracted. The messenger who had rushed here early in the morning to deliver the message said that only the Hu family had come.

Young Master Lin was no fool. He immediately looked at the men in front of him with a complicated expression. If these men were sent by his father, what would become of him and his mother?
If it was the widow who sent them, then the other party truly has ulterior motives, just as my mother said.

He pursed his lips, wanting to ask the other person, but he held back and pretended not to know, saying, "There's actually no major conflict between us. Just move aside and let us pass, and this matter will be over."

"Hey, how dare you talk like that? This road isn't yours, why should we move aside?"

If you have any sense, you'd better back off quickly; this isn't a path for you.

Now that he knew the truth of the matter, hearing such words again made Young Master Lin feel humiliated. This was his way home, and he couldn't even walk this road anymore.

"Hey! I wonder which prince's residence you gentlemen belong to? Which prince has this Lingnan region become his fiefdom?" Lin Wei's words were like a knife to the heart, and they frightened the men so much that they broke out in a cold sweat. They were just ordinary people, how could they dare to get involved with those princes?

"I don't understand what you mean by that?"

"Didn't you say we can't travel this road? Unless this place has been given to a royal relative by His Majesty as a fiefdom, it will become private property. Otherwise, we are all citizens of the Rong Dynasty. So, we can't go anywhere, and we can't travel any road?"

These questions frightened the men so much that their legs went weak. If the authorities heard this, they would be in serious trouble and would be punished.

"Brother, you may have misheard us. We were just saying first come, first served, and we just wanted you to make way for us."

"First come, first served?" Lin Wei stroked the hilt of his sword. "How can you determine the order of arrival on the same road?"

When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave will prevail. Lin Wei felt that if the other party continued to act so unreasonably, he wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.

The other party was rendered speechless and was about to think of another way when Lin Wei, having lost patience, drew his sword and pointed it directly at their noses. "I don't care who sent you or what you want to do, but if you're blocking our way, that's unacceptable."

"So, are you going to clear the way yourselves, or should we do it ourselves?"

The able-bodied men behind them were also filled with excitement. Although they were just servants, their long-term repression made them eager to fight and vent their frustrations.

Moreover, the other side only had a few people, and we had the advantage. It would be foolish not to step forward now, so they all stepped forward and protected the Lin family's carriage behind them.

Madam Lin was deeply moved. She felt that her husband was unreliable and that these ladies, with whom she had only a casual acquaintance, were even better.

She understood that these people had come not only to watch the show, but also to support her through their actions.

In addition, she appreciates the kindness shown to him by standing up for her now.

"You, you, you, you're going to hurt someone..."

Lin Wei raised his head slightly, "It's not impossible to hurt people. Even if it costs you your lives, my master can afford to compensate."

These words made it seem as if every human life could be valued in money, leaving one wondering what the value of these people in front of them was.

The men felt a chill run down their spines. They wanted to earn money, not gamble with their lives, so they softened their stance. "We really didn't mean to block your way, but this kid in front of us is so ungrateful. We've made enemies with him. So, I'll drive their car into the field right away and let you pass."

Lin Wei took a step forward, the sword tip pressed directly against his chin. "Are you deaf? We're on the same side. Are you still thinking about how to make things difficult for Madam Lin?"
Tell me, who sent you?

Madam Lin lifted the curtain and looked at the unfamiliar man before her. "Were you sent by that widow?" (End of Chapter)
