After you sever ties, it's no use crying and regretting it.

Chapter 92 Accusation?

Wu Guizhi's words were quite blunt, delivering a heavy blow to Lü Bowen, Lü Jiquan, and their ilk.

She was indeed very angry.

Originally, the situation was quite good. The villagers of Ningshui could easily obtain grain and more benefits from the Yuan family by oppressing Lü Daquan's family. They might not even need to flee the famine; they could just stay in Ningshui Village and continue to oppress Lü Daquan's family.

She herself can even reap considerable benefits from it.

Such a wonderful thing, they would be laughing in their sleep, but it was ruined by Lu Bowen and his group!

Without Lü Daquan's family as leverage, how can they explain themselves to the Yuan family?

After hearing what Wu Guizhi had to say, Lü Jiquan and the others finally understood.

If they had heeded their ancestors' admonitions and arrangements, sent Lu Daquan's family away, driven them out of Ningshui Village, and severed all ties, they could have allowed their ancestors to rest in peace and stop bothering them. But after they did this, Lu Daquan's family really did run away, and they had no way to explain themselves to the Yuan family. The consequences would have been unimaginable.

If the Yuan family gets angry and demands a price, Ningshui Village might not be able to afford it.

Looking back now, Lu Bowen and Lu Jiquan all felt that what they did yesterday was really foolish.

They don't need to drive the person away directly; they can send them to another place, keep them under control, and place them under house arrest. This should resolve the ancestor's worries and anger, and also allow them to give an explanation to the Yuan family. It might be a win-win solution.

However, by giving Lü Daquan's family all the necessary documents to leave, and by giving away Lü Daquan's original swaddling clothes, they revealed the truth about Lü Daquan's background. This did indeed cause Lü Daquan's family to lose control.

At this time, Lü Daquan and his family had already left Ningshui Village with the documents and disappeared without a trace!

Lu Daquan's family has already escaped, and they will have no way to explain themselves to the Yuan family, making this situation even more difficult to overcome.

Lu Bowen and Lu Jiquan were extremely unwilling to accept this outcome, regretting their foolish decision to let the person leave the day before.

Lu Daquan's family has disappeared without a trace, and this matter is probably not easy to resolve.

After thinking for a moment, Lü Jiquan spoke first: "Then, shall we report Lü Daquan's family for stealing property, fleeing Ningshui Village, and accusing them of using fake documents?"

"As long as a warrant for their arrest is issued, Lü Daquan and his gang will have no chance of escaping!"

“By doing this, we might be able to regain control of Lü Daquan’s family and give an explanation to the Yuan family.”

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Lü Jiquan was trying to find a solution, and his first thought was to report it to the authorities.

Although their evidence is not very comprehensive or sufficient, they have a large number of people, so they may be able to refute the documents brought by Lü Daquan and his group, and their lawsuit may be successful.

Eager to solve the problem, Lü Jiquan thought of this for the moment and brought it up.

Upon hearing what Lü Jiquan said, Wu Guizhi wanted to roll her eyes.

However, even if the elders of the Lü family had done something wrong, they wouldn't allow a younger woman from another clan to ridicule and lecture them. Wu Guizhi could only take deep breaths and try not to argue with such incompetent people.

After calming herself down, Wu Guizhi said, "The document has your signatures and fingerprints, as well as the signatures and fingerprints of the witnesses. It also states that Lü Daquan is not a member of the Lü clan and that he should leave Ningshui Village. If we accuse him of theft, the document is forged, so it will definitely be useless."

“Lu Daquan is not someone to be trifled with. The reason he was so obedient before, letting us bully him, was because he was suppressed by his filial piety and kinship. He didn’t dare to really resist when he was bullied, and he didn’t want to be driven out of Ningshui Village.”

"But now that you yourselves have revealed the truth about Lü Daquan's background, it's as if you've broken Lü Daquan's chains. How can he still be controlled?"

Wu Guizhi was most dissatisfied with Lü Daquan's loss of control.

Because of the stupidity of people like Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan, things became increasingly difficult to resolve.

It was because Lü Jiquan was stupid that he thought this way, believing that Lü Daquan was really so easy to bully.

Having oppressed Lü Daquan for so many years, they seem to have forgotten that Lü Daquan is a capable person, but his wings were clipped by his parents, forcing him to remain trapped in Ningshui Village and continue to suffer oppression.

But once that filial piety constraint was gone, she didn't dare to think about what Lü Daquan would do.

But Lu Jiquan and his ilk actually thought of filing a false complaint?

Let alone the fact that they might not be able to win the lawsuit against Lü Daquan, the county magistrate was already overwhelmed by the spread of the famine outside, so how could he have the mood to deal with these trivial matters?

In such a situation, if it is found that the accusation was false, they will likely have to pay an even greater price!

After a pause, Wu Guizhi continued, "If you report Lü Daquan, he might be able to expose everything you've done, ruining your reputation and affecting Ningshui Village as well."

“Once Ningshui Village’s reputation is ruined, the impact will be far-reaching and certainly not a good thing.”

"Besides, if we accuse those documents of forgery, what will we do if Lü Daquan comes out with the documents to confront us?"

"Don't expect the Yuan family to put pressure on the county government. The Yuan family isn't that idle, and they won't use such powerful connections for our sake."

Wu Guizhi even wondered if Lü Jiquan was getting old and couldn't think realistically anymore.

Noticing that Lü Bowen and Lü Jiquan's expressions were not very good, Wu Guizhi would not tolerate them and continued, "Moreover, when you sue Lü Daquan, what property did he steal? What evidence do you have? Is it enough to issue a warrant for arrest because of Lü Daquan's family?"

"If we don't handle these matters properly, and rush to file a complaint, it might not be easy to get things done, and it could even cause problems."

The Lü Daquan family is no ordinary family, which is why they are so valued by the Yuan family and others, who are determined to eliminate them. They even enjoy the sense of control that comes from torturing and oppressing Lü Daquan and his family, and letting them die in humiliation.

However, if Lü Daquan were to lose that sense of restraint, none of them would be able to do anything to him, and it wouldn't be so easy for the Yuan family to deal with him.

The matter was of great importance, and Wu Guizhi was extremely worried, fearing that the Yuan family would retaliate against them.
