Chapter 108 Robbers
Xia Zihan's words successfully led Vice General Cheng's speculation to the Cheng family.
Sure enough, after a moment, Lieutenant General Cheng's expression changed drastically, becoming gloomy like the prelude to a storm.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Chu and others, he picked up Mrs. Cheng, who had not yet woken up, onto the horse, and the couple galloped away on horseback.
The officials quickly cleared the road, and the carriage went down the mountain. After returning to the city, the pony carriage went to the hospital, while the Liao family and the Chu family separated and went back to their respective homes.
When we returned to Chu's house, it was just time for dinner.
As soon as Xia Zihan got off the carriage, a large group of people rushed over, "County Master, I heard that you encountered robbers on the road. Are you and the old lady okay?"
"The slaves are about to rush over, and the horses are ready."
"Is it true or false that many people died?"
"Old madam, my servant will help you get off the car."
A group of people gathered around, talking and taking action, and crowded Xia Zihan and Mrs. Chu into the hall.
Robbers?
Who passed it on?
By spreading the word that the killer has become a robber, someone is obviously trying to evade responsibility.
Xia Zihan sat down next to Zeng and frowned slightly, "We are fine. It's just unlucky that Mrs. Cheng was chased and killed. It's not a robber."
Then he told the maid, "Qingya, Xianghua, go and prepare hot water for my grandmother and me to wash up."
"Yes, I will prepare now." The two maids went down.
Seeing the tired look on the old lady's face, Nuan Xiang and others also came over to give the old lady a leg and pinched her shoulders, "Old lady, you are tired, I will give you a squeeze."
Mrs. Zeng said with a smile, "I am old and useless. After sitting in the carriage for a while, my bones are sore."
"The old lady is not old. She looks younger than the woman in her thirties." Chu Lin flattered her. "Then I'll become an old goblin." Zeng laughed heartily, not affected by Mrs. Cheng's incident at all.
Xia Zihan also smiled with crooked eyebrows, "My grandmother and I are standing together. Anyone who sees us will talk about our mother and daughter."
"You will make me happy."
"Yu Niang is telling the truth." Xia Zihan said coquettishly, and then ordered Su's mother, "Notify the kitchen to stew grandma's medicinal food in the evening. Grandma hasn't eaten at Dizang Temple in the past few days."

Now it seems that dinner time is almost here. If we go to stew medicinal food at this time, when will we have dinner?
Mother Su's face hesitated for a moment, then she heard Xia Zihan say, "Stew the medicinal food and have it as a midnight snack."
Although grandma is smiling happily now, when she was in the carriage and fighting outside, grandma's eyebrows were always frowning together.
That was the first time in her two lives that she had seen her grandmother look so worried, and she had brought all this to her grandmother.
Grandma was frightened and would not sleep well at night, so she asked the kitchen to cook medicinal food for her to eat.
Grandma has had trouble sleeping since her grandfather passed away. The medicinal diet prescribed by Old Man Bai has the effect of nourishing qi and calming the mind.
After understanding the meaning behind Xia Zihan's words, Su's mother smiled with a smile on her face, "The county master is very thoughtful, I will give you the order now."
Not long after Mother Su went down, Qingya and Sicao came to report that the hot water was ready.
Xia Zihan first helped Zeng back to her room and told Qingya and the others to take good care of her before she returned to her yard.
After washing up and having dinner with Mrs. Zeng, Xia Zihan rested on the Arhat bed in the study.
