Lian Yi slowly walked down the stairs and extended her hand out to support Bi Zhenye. Bi Zhenye shook his head.

"Big brother, I will not forgive your mother, but I accept your apology." said. "Even though Ershan chose not to pursue the issue earlier, in your and his heart, the grudge from the past is still a knot. From today onwards, whether you are brothers or enemies, there is no need to hesitate anymore. The so-called mutual reliance of fortune and misfortune may also be a good thing. "

Ershan walked forward as he reached out to support his brother and said to Bi Zhenye, "I had thought of taking back everything that should belong to me after returning home, but I met you, Hanxi, and Grandma. Even though there was still hatred in my heart, I decided to give up on revenge on the day of the Hall Competition. "I never thought that it would bring disaster to my child. Big brother, this time, I won't be able to do it. Don't blame me."

Bi Zhenye stood up, looked at Lian Yi, and asked: "Sister-in-law, are you better now?"

Lian Yi nodded her head: "Thank you for your concern, if you have anything to say, you can talk to Ershan, I will go back and rest first."

She bowed and said her goodbyes, then returned home with Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang said in a soft voice: "I had thought that he would come to plead on behalf of his mother."

Lian Yi said: "I heard from Ershan that it was him who took the initiative to cooperate with the Ministry Of Justice to capture his mother's former subordinates. Aunt, Ershan has two good older brothers."

The Aunt Zhang laughed: "Now that you have a good sister-in-law, I hope that you and Xiaowan will be able to meet up with the higher ups soon. Xiaowan is really beautiful, the shopkeeper and Ershan are really blessed to be able to get married to you two."

Lian Yi blushed and laughed: "I can't be considered handsome, but I really want to meet this sister-in-law."

At the moment, the sky was already bright, and on the road to the Baisha River Pier, there were more and more people. Da Qing had long sent his wife and children to the inn, then went back to work at the pier.

When Susu came to see the Xiaowan, she had already woken up and was combing Little Pei's hair and clothes.

Little Pei was drowsy as he laid limply on Xiaowan's shoulder. Susu laughed: "You're still not awake, I won't be able to memorize it later, it's going to be miserable. Before the shopkeeper left, he instructed you to recite ten poems. Have you recited them yet? "

Little Pei was startled, and immediately regained his senses. With his mana, reciting 100 poems was not a problem, but he did not remember which poems his father asked him to memorize before he left.

"Aunt …" Little Pei hugged Xiaowan's neck, pursed her lips and acted like a spoiled child, making a whimpering sound, causing Xiaowan's heart to soften. She hugged Xiaowan and patted him lightly, "Little Pei is not afraid, I have an aunt with me."

Fortunately, Ling Chaofeng was not in the mood to care about his son's studies, and had not resolved the issue from yesterday. He could not let Xiaowan suffer, and not mess with the two wicked women, or else he would be deceived by the kindness of the Xiaowan, just like Lian Yi.

After breakfast, he brought Xiaowan out of the inn. Constable Li and a few other yamen runner s were already waiting at the entrance of the town.

Aunt Wang and Madam Xu had committed the crimes of repenting their marriage, marrying more than one woman, and fraudulently abducting and selling goods, and Madam Xu was in front of them. When Constable Li came here today, it was in accordance with the laws of Daqi, so they had to be locked up and interrogated.

Following that, they continued to beat the crap out of them. They went to jail with their sticks on the table and all sorts of punishments were waiting for them, scaring the two women to death in fear. They laid on the ground crying and begging Ling Chaofeng and the Xiaowan to give them a way out.

However, this time, Qingling Village's village chief was completely dragged into this mess by innocence. He did not know that the county magistrate had come forward to plead for mercy, and that there was such a despicable transaction. After finding out the truth, he went mad with rage. His innocence was about to be destroyed by these two wicked women.

He brought someone with him to stop Constable Li. He said that he would execute the village rules and expel Madam Xu and the Wang family from the Qingling Village. After they had done so, he would ask Constable Li to take the people away.

When they first came to the Prefect Liang, Prefect Liang warned Constable Li that they could not go to the countryside. There were rules in the village, and those that could be accommodated were accommodated as much as possible.

Constable Li originally thought that it would be difficult, but after hearing that it was to punish these two wicked women, he naturally spread his hands out.

The village chief then asked the Xiaowan, "Child, the Madam Xu once abused you, and everyone in the village knows about it. Today, I will listen to your orders, how are you going to punish her?"

"Xiaowan, it's too late … You saved my mother, I let you down, Xiaowan … " Madam Xu cried loudly.

Her body had not fully recovered, and she could not bear the torment. If she were to strip her naked and lie on the ground in the sun, she would have no more life to live. But when she thought about going to the prison and getting bitten by bugs and mice every day in the smelly prison, she could not live any longer. The Xiaowan was her last hope.

"Xiaowan, aunt is wrong. Aunt wants to save your uncle and mother, ah, Xiaowan …"

The two women kowtowed to the Xiaowan and begged him to save them. When the others saw this, they could not help but interrupt and encourage the Xiaowan to be merciful.

Ling Chaofeng protected her with one hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, just tell me what you want to do."

Xiaowan nodded and bravely said to the village head: "I will only beg for their forgiveness. I hope that the village head will agree to me."

The village chief immediately agreed, "Go ahead."

Xiaowan continued: "No matter how you punish them, I beg that the village chief not take off their clothes. Don't say anything about being surrounded by so many children in order to preserve their dignity. You shouldn't show them such unbearable scenes. As for the rest, I don't care about anything else.

The Village Chief frowned and asked, "Is that all?"

Xiaowan nodded: "That's all."

"Xiaowan... Save mother, Xiaowan … " Madam Xu screamed, but she could not move.

The village head said angrily: "Beat these two wicked women up a hundred times each. If you want to kill them, that's fine, but if you don't want to die, you can just throw them outside the village and never step into the Qingling Village again."

Constable Li then came forward to discuss with the Village Chief, saying that they still needed to be sued, and that it would be hard to settle the matter once they were beaten to death.

Thus, the hundred sticks were reduced to fifty sticks. Madam Xu and Lady Wang were pressed onto a big rock by the side of the road and firmly hit by a few robust men. Xiaowan looked at it for a while and then could no longer bear it as she hid in Ling Chaofeng's embrace.

Help …" "Ahh!

The sounds of the lashes and the struggling of the two women caused the Xiaowan's heart to churn.

All of this had happened to her in the past, and she would be severely beaten up almost every single day. There was never a single spot on her body that was good, and Madam Xu would even rip off her pants and directly pull it over her flesh …

That was her nightmare for more than ten years. Perhaps she had been beaten until she was numb, she had never thought that there would be a day where she would take revenge on Madam Xu to seek for her happiness. But what she hated was that every day before, she wished for nothing more than for him to die.

Sensing that the Xiaowan was trembling, Ling Chaofeng used his hands to cover his ears, making it impossible for him to hear the sounds of wailing and whipping.

Madam Xu and Lady Wang gradually lost their strength to shout, the brambles were still whipping them around, and the fight was finally over. Everyone's hands loosened, and they collapsed onto the ground.

"Throw them out of the village and they will never step foot into the Qingling Village. We will meet those who ask for mercy at the ancestral hall." The village chief shouted and ordered his men to carry the two unconscious women to the entrance of the village and throw them on the ground.

Constable Li quickly ordered some people to retrieve it. He borrowed a donkey cart from the village and threw the two wicked women on it. Then, he left for the yamen and waited for the Prefect Liang's Baisha County to begin its interrogation.

"Your excellency has no time to spare today. You will come down to the Baisha County tomorrow. You can go back first, see you at the yamen tomorrow." The Constable Li said to Ling Chaofeng, then to the Xiaowan, "My wife, that wicked woman is imprisoned in this prison. You have something you want to tell me, we brothers can take care of her more."

Xiaowan understood what she meant, but she did not have any intention to take revenge. Madam Xu was already in a miserable state, I am afraid that I will not live for long in the prison.

Ling Chaofeng said politely: "Brother Li, just follow the rules. As for the matters with the county magistrate, you need to find us to interrogate us. Don't be polite, we definitely won't deny anything we've done."

Constable Li knew that Ling Chaofeng was a straightforward person, after knowing each other for many years, he had no doubts about the people in the inn, so he brought the two unconscious poisonous women and left with the other yamen runner.

Ling Chaofeng brought Xiaowan and was about to mount the horse, when suddenly, someone threw a rock at them. The two looked back and saw Wen Bao crying his eyes out and standing at the village entrance, with a rock in his hand, he threw it at them with all his might.

Ling Chaofeng took a big stride forward and grabbed Wen Bao's clothes, pressing him down on a tree, scaring Wen Bao into shouting and crying.

"You don't want to go to jail with your mother. From now on, be a good boy. If you can't tell right from wrong and you're confused for life, then I'll personally send you to jail in the future." Ling Chaofeng said angrily, "If you have the ability to grow up, come find me for revenge. "But listen carefully, if you dare hurt your sister, I will chop off all your limbs."

Xiaowan walked over and pulled Ling Chaofeng's arm. Ling Chaofeng loosened his grip and Wen Bao collapsed onto the ground, crying loudly. However, Xiaowan did not say anything.

Her brother was crying at the back, crying as he told Big Sis not to go, but Xiaowan did not turn back.

They rode their horses out of the Qingling Village, passed through the Baisha Town, and headed back in the direction of the Ling Xiao Inn.

This kind of situation had happened countless of times before. Xiaowan sat on the horse and leaned into Ling Chaofeng's embrace, his heart at ease.

She unconsciously said, "Master, actually, when I saw how domineering the Village Chief was, I felt that he was extremely funny. Did you know that he had never cared about the matter of Madam Xu beating me up before?

Ling Chaofeng said: "If you have nothing to ask for peace, then be a good person." "Just now, what did you call me?"

Xiaowan was startled: "What should I call you?"

Ling Chaofeng said: "Call again."

Xiaowan replied: "Manager Ling."

Ling Chaofeng whispered into her ear: "I'll give you one more chance.

Xiaowan's face turned red and she stared at him blankly. Her heart trembled and she blurted out, "Xiang …" "Male?"

Ling Chaofeng was overjoyed. He gave her a kiss on his lips, "It's nice to listen to."
