As Lin Tiangang left, the villagers of Yangjia Village who were present all followed him.

Upstream, only Yang Cong'an and Li Xiuyun remained on the riverbank.

Looking at the village head standing beside the black stone by the town's river, Li Xiuyun wiped away her tears and walked forward with red eyes:

"Yang Village Head, do you really believe that sorcerer's nonsense and want to drive Xiaoman out of Yang Family Village?"

After saying this, Yang Cong'an sighed helplessly and glanced at Li Xiuyun.

"It's just a temporary measure. If I didn't say that, how could they possibly be willing to give up for now?"

"At least for now... we've bought your Xiaoman an extra seven days."

Hearing the helplessness in his words, Li Xiuyun trembled, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Li, Lizheng."

"You also think my Xiaoman has been wronged? This black stone that suppresses the river weighs several thousand kilograms, and she's only seven years old. How could she possibly crack it with a single punch?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an's lips twitched slightly, and he shook his head, saying:

"This is probably not a case of being wronged."

"After all, there are witnesses and physical evidence. Even if your sister-in-law is very capable, she can't possibly make all the children in the village lie in public without batting an eye, can she?"

"So the crack in this black stone must have been made by your daughter!"

Li Xiuyun was slightly taken aback, and before she could speak, Yang Cong'an's expression darkened slightly as he said:

"It's just not as mystical as that sorcerer described."

"If I'm not mistaken, your daughter must be one of those people who are born with superhuman strength!"

Born with superhuman strength?

"Of course, that's not important."

Yang Cong'an abruptly changed the subject, his gaze suddenly turning towards the direction where Lin Tiangang, Chen Yue'e, and the others had just left, his eyes becoming much colder.

"The important thing is that someone is using yesterday's conflict between your daughter Xiaoman and those children as a pretext to spread rumors in our village, pretending to be a sorcerer!"

"That so-called 'dragon turning over' is nothing but a means to instill panic among the villagers and drive your Xiaoman away!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyun abruptly stopped sobbing and said in an incredulous, trembling voice:

"Who is this person?"

She initially thought it was just a coincidence.

But to my utter surprise, it turned out that someone had deliberately framed my daughter!

"Yesterday, the kinship was severed at the ancestral hall; your sister-in-law, Chen Yue'e!"

Yang Cong'an took two steps with his hands behind his back, his gaze becoming extremely sharp.

"All this doing is just to try and take advantage of your family's familial line."

"However, her methods are indeed ruthless! They directly shook the foundation of Yangjia Village, and even my words... lost their effect."

Li Xiuyun's lips trembled slightly. "Since the village head saw through it so clearly, why didn't he speak up and expose him earlier?"

Yang Cong'an gave her a meaningful look, and said with a hint of helplessness:

"There were no tigers in the city, but three people talking about them made them appear as tigers. One must know how terrifying gossip can be!"

"Everyone in our village believed that sorcerer's nonsense. Even if I explain it all, who will believe me?"

"If things go wrong, the evil dragon could turn around and wipe out the entire village. Who would dare to gamble?"

He let out a long sigh at this point.

"Therefore, I have no choice but to agree for the time being, and seize the loopholes in the sorcerer's words to buy myself seven days."

"Don't worry, within these seven days, as the village head, I will definitely stand up for your Xiaoman."

"As long as we find evidence of Chen Yue'e's collusion with the sorcerer, I will not let her off easily!"

Finally, Yang Cong'an's tone became much heavier, almost as if he were shouting through gritted teeth.

He finally had some free time today, so he took the opportunity to relax at home and enjoy tea.

One minute they were praising the simple and honest folks of the Yang family villagers, and the next they've made such a huge mess for him!

Clearly, the extent of the trouble caused by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang family far exceeded his expectations.

"Then, I'll leave it to Village Chief Yang."

Li Xiuyun's voice choked with emotion, and she was about to kneel down on the spot.

Fortunately, Yang Cong'an reacted quickly and reached out to stop him, his face suddenly darkening.

"Li, why must you do this?"

"That Chen Yue'e has repeatedly tried to exploit those who have no descendants, even at the cost of committing acts that incur the wrath of both heaven and man. I've long wanted to teach her a lesson!"

"Now she's further inciting unrest and causing panic in Yangjia Village. As the village head, how can I let her off so easily?"

As he spoke, he suddenly flicked his sleeves, and his voice rose several octaves.

"Within seven days, I will find evidence of her collusion with the sorcerer and bring her to the county government!"

"This isn't just for your Xiaoman, it's also for myself!"

……

"Thanks to Miss Yang's rescue, young master has returned safely!"

With a loud shout from a servant, the lifeless Lin family mansion was brought back to life.

At the courtyard gate, Yang Xiaoman and Chen Man got off the carriage first and saw the eldest son of the Lin family being helped off the carriage by two servants. Led by the doctor, he hurriedly walked into the house.

Lin Youzhi quickly followed behind them, then suddenly stopped beside the two.

"Thank you for your help today, Miss Yang. The servants have already arranged a banquet. Please do me the honor of taking a seat, Miss Yang. However, I am temporarily unable to attend. I hope you will understand."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman's expression turned strange, and she smiled and said:

"Master Lin is too kind. Then Butcher Chen and I will respectfully accept your offer."

Without the wealthy man's company, she was actually quite happy to be free and relaxed, so what was there to forgive?

Seeing that she showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever, Lin Youzhi was deeply moved. He then cupped his hands in greeting and quickly turned around to follow the doctor in the courtyard.

Then a servant stepped forward and led the two into the Lin family compound.

We walked through the connecting corridor, passed the front yard, and finally stopped at the main hall of the Lin family.

"Wow! Miss Yang, I've really benefited from your help this time."

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table not far away, Chen Man smacked his lips with envy. The aroma wafting in the air made his mouth water.

I couldn't wait to climb onto the table and start eating.

Hearing Chen Man's sigh, Yang Xiaoman remained silent, but subtly swallowed.

Despite the large amount of food she ate before leaving home, she consumed even more energy. Not only did she slaughter six pigs in a row, but she also rushed to Qingcang Mountain and pushed down a massive boulder weighing thousands of pounds by herself, nearly exhausting herself.

On the return journey in the carriage, she was already feeling extremely hungry and secretly complained incessantly.

"Miss Yang, please!"

The servant led the two to the table in the main hall and quickly whispered a reminder:

"My master said there are no outsiders here, so please feel free to do as you please, young lady."

"This entire meal is prepared for the young lady and Butcher Chen."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman's eyes lit up. This Master Lin... truly knows how to repay kindness!

"Then please thank the master for me."

She smiled and cupped her hands in a respectful gesture.

Beside him, Chen Man also clasped his hands in a fist salute to the servants.

Then, without waiting, I sat down and instinctively grabbed my chopsticks to pick up the most eye-catching braised pork knuckle on the table.

The next second, the chopstick tip suddenly stopped in mid-air!

Chen Man looked embarrassed and abruptly pulled back his chopsticks as he glanced at Yang Xiaoman.

"Miss Yang, you are a great hero."

"You go first!"
