After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 346: Taking Action

In the end, ng Yao did not accept Niu Ruosu’s suggestion, which left her a bit disappointed.

However, she put those thoughts away; she didn’t plan on opposing ng Yao in the future, so naturally, she couldn’t have designs on ng Yao’s man.

Of course, if ng Yao gets tired of him in the future, that would be a different matter.

Overall, this eting achieved all the intended goals.

Niu Ruosu took her leave, and ng Yao personally saw her off.

Once at ho, Niu Ruosu claid illness and shut herself in, refusing to see any visitors.

She has always been a decisive person. Now that she has chosen to stand with ng Yao and the Court, she naturally wouldn’t pretend to be friendly with the Zhu and Yang families.

Zhao Ting returned from next door, carrying a pile of dossiers, all related to the Zhu, Niu, and Yang families.

ng Yao handed over a stack of dossiers given by Niu Ruosu to Zhao Ting—

"These were collected by the Niu Family, related to the Zhu and Yang families; see if they are of any help?"

Zhao Ting took them, "It seems you and Niu Ruosu have reached an agreent?"

"That woman has a very keen sense of sll and can make decisions quickly and decisively," ng Yao stated, "No wonder she can stay strong between the Zhu and Yang families."

"The wish of the Niu Family ancestors was to be gloriously accepted again by the Western Qin Country," Zhao Ting said.

"You found out about the Niu Family’s background so quickly?"

"Credit for this doesn’t belong to , it’s Qi Yunye," Zhao Ting said. "Qi Yunye has soone under him in the Western Qin Country."

ng Yao couldn’t help but feel so admiration; who would have thought that Qi Yunye, who seed inconspicuous on the surface, was so formidable behind the scenes.

Rather than a skilled businessman, he’s more of a bigwig in intelligence.

"If we can help her fulfill her wish, Niu Ruosu will surely remain loyal in the future," Zhao Ting stated.

"What did the Niu family do back then?" ng Yao asked.

"Even Qi Yunye couldn’t find out what happened, but, no matter what the offense was in the past, many years have passed and the queen of the Western Qin Country at that ti is long gone," Zhao Ting said. "The Western Qin Country has always been friendly with our Zhou Country, and this year, during the Grand eting, Western Qin Country will send a delegation to our Zhou Country."

"So, do you have a way to help the Niu family?" ng Yao asked.

Zhao Ting nodded, "Although I don’t have any ideas at the mont, you can let Niu Ruosu know, which would reassure her. Aligning with the Court is only beneficial and not harmful for the Niu family."

"Alright," ng Yao agreed.

——

Zhu Dewang personally went to the Yang Family, spending half a day with Yang Zhuge in the study, yet they couldn’t figure out what Niu Ruosu was up to.

Why was she suddenly avoiding them?

They questioned the relatives married into the Niu family but didn’t get any useful information.

Asking the kinsn working in the Governnt Office yielded nothing either; the County Magistrate wasn’t making any moves.

The more it was like this, the more uneasy they felt.

They ca to Le’an grandly and caused trouble right away; being so well-behaved now was simply too strange.

"How about we abduct the County Princess?" Zhu Dewang suggested.

Under torture, wouldn’t everything they wanted to know co out?

"What kind of woman do you think the head of the Niu family is?" Yang Zhuge inquired.

"A beautiful and seductive woman," Zhu Dewang replied.

Most Niu family won were robust; soone like Niu Ruosu was a rare gem.

Her every move was vibrant and alluring.

Zhu Dewang was a simple man; if Niu Ruosu weren’t the head of the Niu family, he would definitely keep such a woman cherished in his backyard.

Yang Zhuge glared at Zhu Dewang, "You think she’s just a pretty face?"

Zhu Dewang chuckled awkwardly, "I wasn’t thinking much just now; of course not."

If it were only about beauty, the Niu family would have collapsed long ago.

"So, she plays sick and shuts herself in; she must have known sothing you and I don’t, avoiding us and restraining her kinsn to distance herself from us," Yang Zhuge said.

Zhu Dewang frowned, "Brother Yang, do you an?"

"There’s definitely sothing brewing at the County Governnt," Yang Zhuge stated.

"Then what do we do? I suggested abducting the County Princess, but you didn’t agree," Zhu Dewang still leaned towards solving the problem with force.

"Do you really think the County Princess is so naive woman?" Yang Zhuge scoffed, "If that were so, would Feng Zhiyuan rashly step in? Feng Zhiyuan has always maintained a self-preserving stance; now that he’s stepping in, it indicates the County Princess is no easy target."

"Brother Yang, just tell what we should do!" Zhu Dewang insisted.

"The County Governnt’s lack of action is on purpose. It’s to throw us off balance!" Yang Zhuge said. "The more it’s like this, the more we need to stay calm, restrain our kinsn, and behave."

We won’t move until the enemy does; let’s see who breaks first.

"Alright, I’ll listen to Brother Yang and tell our kinsn about it," Zhu Dewang agreed.

They went their separate ways, each with their own thoughts.

All the talk from Zhu Dewang about abducting ng Yao was rely for Yang Zhuge’s ears. Until a reply from the Capital City arrived, he definitely wouldn’t do anything rash.

To avoid a situation he couldn’t control.

He still had to make a trip beyond the frontier to discuss with the Zhu family mbers out there and keep a fallback plan.

Yes, the Zhu family always had a fallback plan, which was to retreat beyond the frontier.

Though being a desert bandit wasn’t as comfortable as being a local tyrant in Le’an City, it was more carefree. The vast wilderness beyond the frontier was their Zhu family’s domain.

Of course, if he could avoid reaching that point, he certainly wished to avoid it.

After all, the kinsn rooted in Le’an, having shed their banditry, might not adapt to returning beyond the frontier.

Three more days passed.

Feng Zhiyuan, accompanied by Governnt Officials, went out and arrested over a dozen people from the Zhu and Yang families.

They were directly thrown into prison, with no visitation allowed.

This ti, those arrested were almost all of the most favored juniors from these two families.

The heads of both families quickly questioned their kinsn working in the Governnt Office, but these kinsn all responded with anguished faces, claiming they knew nothing.

Those people Feng Zhiyuan brought weren’t even from the Governnt Office.

They had no idea where they ca from and were absolutely brutal. rely questioning had almost gotten them thrown into prison too.

Once the accountant who used to work with Feng Zhiyuan was forced to ask Feng Zhiyuan for information, but he didn’t even get to see Feng Zhiyuan. Feng Zhiyuan said that he no longer needed an accountant by his side.

This alard the mbers of the Zhu and Yang families, who went crying to Zhu Dewang and Yang Zhuge, pleading for them to find ways to get the children out first.

With no other options, Zhu Dewang and Yang Zhuge had to personally visit the Governnt Office.

Feng Zhiyuan directly threw the listed charges in front of them, detailing who committed what cri, when, and where. Based on these charges, all of their juniors from both families would end up imprisoned.

What ensures a family’s developnt? Isn’t it the next generation?

If this entire generation is gone, wouldn’t the family decline?
