Nanny Yao was not new to this trade; although she was shocked that a country girl could articulate such a well-reasoned interrogation, she calmly smiled and said: "Miss, you've misunderstood, I truly am Lu Tianya's distant aunt. The He family brothers at the village entrance did not escort me in person because I've been here before, and they recognize me."
But Luo Huiniang was not buying any of that. Xiao Yu had told her that crooks nowadays are cunning, when encountering anyone suspicious, don't believe a word they say. Just call for help and run immediately.
Luo Huiniang immediately grabbed Gu Yumei and ran, shouting loudly, "Someone help, someone help, a river bandit hag has invaded the village!!"
Her voice was loud and she moved quickly, startling Nanny Yao who hastily lunged at Gu Yumei, holding her back, "If you dare run, we'll set your house on fire, hurry up and help me catch her."
As she spoke, the knife in her hand slashed towards Luo Huiniang.
