I'M THE FARMGIRL YOU CAN'T MESS WITH

Chapter 91: Abusing Power

Editor: Atlas Studios

They were initially so confident that they would succeed, and they even arranged for someone to take the lead in mortgaging their title deed. Who knew that someone would come out and cause trouble? Besides, the other party was even just a child.

Not only was Wu Shancai furious, but those squires also looked at Mu Yangling as if she was an enemy who had killed their father.

Wouldn’t cutting off someone’s source of income be equivalent to killing their father?

The Hus’ attack on the city this time was an unexpected event, but they had long planned to buy more fields and slaves. However, farmers held on to their fields as if they were precious treasures. Unless there was a major change, who would sell their land for no reason?

In the past, they could forcefully buy the land or acquire it through giving out high-interest loans, but ever since Qi Xiuyuan was stationed in Xingzhou Prefecture, they had to be careful.

Although it was said that military officials were not allowed to interfere in local government affairs, his father was an imperial censor whose duty was to impeach officials. As such, they really did not dare to offend him too much.

As for the local squires, although they looked down on Qi Xiuyuan, they could still tell which was the more powerful party since he had soldiers.

It wasn’t easy for them to have a chance to scheme against these bumpkins openly, but it was ruined by a child. They couldn’t help but hate her.

Ignoring their gazes, Mu Yangling returned to the general’s residence with Mu Shi.

“You’ve offended both Wu Shancai and the squires of Xingzhou Prefecture.” Fan Zijin’s teasing voice came from behind.

Mu Yangling turned around and saw Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin smiling at her.

Mu Shi hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed. “Greetings, young masters. My daughter has embarrassed herself in front of the two of you. I’m afraid we will implicate the residence because of this matter. We’ll move out later.”
