Zhang Xiaoying was on horseback, and upon hearing the villagers' discussions, she glanced at them.

They revered the Princess and looked down on the elderly couple from the Qiao Family.

Indeed, who would respect an old couple weakened by age and without a son?

The Princess found out that their farmland had been forcibly occupied by certain villagers long ago, their house taken from them, and the couple forced to live in a cowshed.

The old couple subsisted by the old man going up the mountain to gather firewood and the charity of kind-hearted villagers.

When the Princess's people took them away, the old man had just hauled a bundle of firewood on his sick body to town to sell, so the villagers didn't know where the couple had gone, assuming they had died.

Now that they had returned, aside from a few who would speak up for the elderly couple, the rest were filled with hostility, and wished to drive them completely out of the village.
