“Xie Rong, report that someone drugged me!” Xie Yu stood up abruptly and said angrily.

When the county magistrate who had just walked in heard this, he knew that the matter was not small. Everyone in Nanchang County knew that the Xie family was the largest aristocratic family. The county magistrate had just been praised by the magistrate for his success in the female arts competition a few days ago. However, in the past two days, there had been incidents one after another.

This was like a slap to his face.

Moreover, he could not afford to offend the Xie family. This was the most important thing.

“Third Young Master, I will give you an explanation for this matter,” County Magistrate Xu strode in.

“Thank you, Magistrate. I also have to tell you that I was drugged next to the county office.” Xie Yu had already learned from Ye Muyu that she had been kidnapped in the county office.

While this news made him angry, he also thought of the best solution to this matter.

County Magistrate Xu’s expression changed slightly. “Men, interrogate tho:

two. Focus on why they are staying near the county office.”

“Send someone to guard the surroundings of the county office.”

Xie Yu was not in a hurry either.”Then I’ll wait for your good news.”

“Third Young Master, go to the living room to rest first. I will interrogate the criminals first.” County Magistrate Xu did not want to offend the Xie family.

After all, he and the Xie family had been supporting each other all these years. The Xie family was also a helping hand to him. Otherwise, he would have been forced to ally with the other wealthy businessmen. He might not even be able to sit firmly in his position.

County Magistrate Xu left.

Only then did Butler Xie hurriedly ask Xie Yu what happened.

Xie Yu did not say much. After all, they were still in the county office. He only said, “I just arrived at the county office. Before I could squeeze in, I was drugged and taken away.”

“Where are my servants?” Xie Yu frowned and asked.

“They were knocked unconscious from behind,” Butler Xie said. “They’ve been found and locked up.”

“I think someone from the county office is involved in this matter.” “What? Could it be that Lord Xu…” Butler Xie’s expression changed drastically.

“He doesn’t seem to have anything to do with it. Send someone to investigate.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Butler Xie was furious. He turned around and wanted to leave, but he stopped. “Young Master, Scholar Chu’s mother, and two children are at home. I was afraid that something would happen to them, so I decided to keep them here.”

“You did well. Send someone back to inform them not to worry. Sister-in-law is fine.”

“I’ll wait here for Father and Mother to come.”

“Alright, Young Master. This servant will go now.” Xie Rong arranged for people to stay behind to protect Xie Yu, while he went to do things swiftly and decisively.

At the Xie residence…

Old Master Xie and Madam Xie rushed to the county office.

Madam Liu brought the two children and sat with Madam Qian in the living room of the Xie residence.

Just as the four of them were panicking, a servant from the Xie family came in to inform them that Ye Muyu was fine.

Madam Liu’s anxious heart finally relaxed. She hurriedly asked, “Sir, where is my daughter-in-law now?”

“The person outside is called Han Zhuang. He should be from your family, right?” The Xie family servant asked.

“Yes.” Madam Liu nodded.

“Then this servant will go out and bring him in.”

“However, before Butler Xie left, he asked you to stay here first. This servant cannot make the decision on his own…” The meaning of the servant boy’s words was very obvious. In addition, he had just learned that Xie Yu’s parents had gone to the county government and that they had found Xie yu. The residence was busy. If something happened to the guests, he would definitely be demoted.

Madam Liu naturally did not want to cause trouble for the Xie family. She hurriedly nodded and thanked the servant.

“You’re welcome, Old Madam..”
