Shangguan Hui's words directly hit the nail on the head.
In fact, the Spirit Bear Tribe was good in many aspects, except for one common problem of ordinary tribes — poverty!
When Shangguan Hui found this place, her belongings had already been looted by the people here under all kinds of pretexts.
But at that time, Shangguan Hui just felt that since she was in their territory, it was inevitable to give them some offerings. Besides, it was just some worldly possessions, and she really didn't care about it, so she obediently handed them over.
But since these people had taken her belongings and wanted to drive her away, she couldn't agree with them.
Hearing her words, the several Elder Xiong immediately blushed.
But they were all thick-skinned and black-hearted people. Most of the things that Shangguan Hui had brought over had gone into their own pockets.
Even Xiong Lin was not very clear about this matter.
Now that she had found out about it, she felt that she couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Where did you bring those things? Don't talk nonsense!"
Xiong Er began to be shameless, but Shangguan Hui was not that easy to get rid of.
She took out a list from her clothes, cleared her throat, and said,
"First Elder Xiong, on the 14th of March, at a quarter to three in the morning, you received 300 silver, two pairs of jade bracelets, six pairs of gold and silver jewelry, and your signature. Oh, there is your fingerprint on it. Do you want to let Clan Leader Xiong Lin have a look?"
Seeing that Shangguan Hui took out the evidence that they had accepted the things, the several Elders finally gave up.
They were blinded by greed at that time, but they didn't expect that Shangguan Hui was such a difficult person to deal with.
"You! Even if we accepted them, you gave them to us voluntarily. Now you threaten us with them. You go back on your words! What a villain! "
First Elder Xiong deserved to be the First Elder for many years. He was quite good at making false accusations.
But Shangguan Hui didn't panic. She continued with a faint smile.
"Yes, I did give these things to you voluntarily. But I'm afraid you don't know that I have already exchanged these things with Clan Leader Xiong Lin. The two of us had an agreement long ago. I used the silver to buy this piece of land from your clan. We signed a contract. Now that you've taken the money, you want to chase me away? How could there be such logic in this world? Why don't we go out and find a place to judge? What do you think? "
Shangguan Hui took out another contract, which clearly stated how much money she had used to buy the yard where the father and son of the Lin family lived.
Moreover, it was written in black and white with Xiong Lin's seal.
Seeing that they were going to deny it again, Shangguan Hui stopped smiling and looked at them coldly.
"Are you trying to tell me that Clan Leader Xiong Lin can't make the decision? Let me tell you, you've accepted the money and signed the contract. If you go back on your word, either you give me back the money, or I will go to the Imperial Court to sue you! I want to see if this Lieyun still has the law! "
Once her expression became serious, the aura that was hidden deep in her bones burst out.
In the beginning, Empress Shangguan appreciated her, mainly because she was more like her when she was young.
Now that she was like this, no one dared to act rashly for a while.
Step by step, Shangguan Hui walked toward the elders. Her eyes turned cold, and she looked at them quietly.
"You look like this, but you still dare to use a honey trap. Elder Xiong, do you think the Lins are wild chickens?"
She turned around and walked into the yard.
The rest of the elders looked at each other, and the girls were angry.
They had been pampered at home, but now they were called wild chickens. How could they stand it?
All of a sudden, the woman's complaints and curses mixed with Elder Xiong's stern reprimands ended the forced marriage that happened every once in a while.
Xiong Lin looked on coldly, feeling very ashamed.
When they were about to leave, Xiong Lin said in a low voice,
"Four elders, since this is the money Miss Shangguan used to buy the tribe's land, please return it to her."
The four of them trembled, and their eyes were full of anger.
Unfortunately, Xiong Lin did not care about them, and most of the younger generation in the tribe supported Xiong Lin.
"Xiong Lin, don't go too far! In this Spirit Bear Tribe, it's not your turn yet. "
Eldest Xiong warned in a low voice, but Xiong Lin did not take it to heart. Instead, he said leisurely with his arms crossed.
"Alright, then let all the people in the tribe come here to judge. The money is enough for us to get through the winter safely. "
The Spirit Bear Tribe was not rich. Every winter, at least a few old and weak people would freeze to death.
Xiong Lin hated the greed of the elders. If it was not for the money, the Spirit Bear Tribe would not have become a vassal of the Xin Family.
"You … Well, you've grown up, and you even learned to bully us with outsiders. Well, wait for me, let's go! "
The elders followed the girls behind them and left in a hurry.
Xiong Lin snorted and ordered in a low voice.
"Look after these old foxes, we must make them spit out those things!"
This concerned the survival of the entire tribe, how could Xiong Lin let it go so easily?
Immediately, someone responded in a low voice and secretly followed them.
Xiong Lin, who was in high spirits just now, looked at the backs of the few people and could not help but shake his head.
After all, this was the place where he grew up. Even though he did not have the intention to be the tribe leader, he did not want to see the Spirit Bear Tribe destroyed because of the greed of those few people.
When he opened the door to the courtyard, he immediately saw a bright red figure standing under the eaves, constantly looking in the direction of the door.
A simple and honest smile immediately appeared on his handsome face.
When the figure saw him, he paused, opened his mouth, and only spoke softly.
"Be careful."
The woman's voice was gentle and sweet, revealing her concern for him.
Xiong Lin hurriedly nodded and wanted to walk to the woman's side, but he was still a little hesitant.
In the end, he stood three steps away cautiously. Although he was such a big man, he seemed to be at a loss.
"It's okay, they dare not do anything to me. Moreover, they can't defeat me. "
When Xiong Lin said this, he was a little proud. The tribe leader must be the strongest and the most powerful person in the whole tribe.
He was not only the tribe leader, but also the first warrior of the whole tribe.
Hong Yu instantly blushed, lowered her head and looked at the handkerchief in her hand.
In the past, she had many guests, but none of them was as sincere as the man in front of her, and they treated her with special care.
Shangguan Hui put the wild fruit in the living room, turned around and saw the man and the woman's innocent and shy atmosphere.
Standing at the door, she could not help but tease them.
"What an idiot. Don't you know how to complain and let our Hong Yu show some love for you?"
Before she finished her words, their heads turned even redder.
Although Xiong Lin could remain calm in the face of the aggressive elders, he was like a young man who had his first awakening of love in front of Hong Yu.
But who could imagine that this man in his early thirties was an innocent man who had never held a woman's hand!
"You are making fun of him again. Brother Xiong is not good with words. You hussy, don't bully him. If he is good, why don't you go to the young master? "
Hong Yu could not help speaking for her sweetheart. After glancing at Xiong Lin tenderly, she walked to Shangguan Hui and pinched her face.
"Your young master is already in my pocket. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. I'm not like you, who have few chances to meet the person he likes in his life. If he doesn't face his true feelings in time, he will regret it to death. "
Shangguan Hui said her Secret Love Sutra without changing her expression. But this time, Hong Yu's face became redder, and there was some clarity in her eyes.
Shangguan Hui was right. How many times could a person meet someone who treated him sincerely in his life?
She turned around and glanced at Xiong Lin, who was also thinking about something. But she was timid after all. She was afraid that he would dislike her past.
Shangguan Hui naturally knew what Hong Yu was thinking and sighed in her heart.
Sure enough, the person involved could not see clearly. Hong Yu was only thinking about the past and did not notice how passionate Xiong Lin's eyes were when he looked at her.
She recalled that when she first came here, only Xiong Lin stood up for her regardless of everything.
From the later contact, she could see that Xiong Lin was different from the people in the tribe.
He was a man with great wisdom but looked stupid, and he could see things very clearly.
Although Hong Yu was a precious jade covered with dust, her heart was more loyal and pure than anyone else.
Such a woman would never let down Xiong Lin's enthusiasm.
It was just that these things had to be figured out by themselves. No amount of consolation from others would be able to help them.
Suddenly, she remembered the letter she brought. She could not care about anything else. She asked Xiong Lin and Hong Yu to go to the backyard.
The backyard was much quieter than the front yard. The father and son of the Lin family were sitting at the stone table in the yard, discussing something.
As soon as Shangguan Hui came in, Lin Nansheng immediately walked up to her with a bit of guilt in his eyes. He pulled Shangguan Hui's sleeves and brought her in front of him, looking her up and down, even though there were other people present.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
This time, it was Shangguan Hui's turn to blush.
It was obvious that she could not speak ill of others casually. Every dog has its day, and now she was in front of him.
"Next time, don't lie to me."
Lin Nansheng held her hand and felt distressed.
This girl knew that those people had bad intentions towards her, but she still colluded with Hong Yu to deceive him and secretly ran away.
In the past six months, he had been with her day and night. Her intelligence, her quick-wittedness, and her devotion had already moved him.
