Not only were they beaten, but they also had to work all day long.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuying ran even faster.

Given Qin Zheng's ruthlessness, he might actually marry her off to Erdanzi's second master. She wouldn't dare gamble on that wolf cub's conscience.

She should go back to Lao Guo's house.

At least the Guo family has been disciplined and is now obedient by Qin Zheng. As long as she doesn't go too far, the entire Guo family won't provoke or make things difficult for her; at most, there might be some friction.

But if she were to marry Erdanzi's second uncle, she would truly be doomed.

"Pfft..."

Watching Li Xiuying flee in panic, Erdanzi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

To prevent Li Xiuying from noticing anything amiss, he quickly pinched his thigh, the pain causing him to look extremely distressed, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Only after Li Xiuying had disappeared without a trace did he rub his aching thigh, greet Qin Zheng, and head home with the sack in his hand.

The fourth brother was still leaning against the fence gate, laughing heartily.

He flashed a big white smile, looking like a complete idiot, which made Qin Zheng raise his hand and tap him on the forehead.

The fourth brother clenched his teeth and then asked, "Brother, you just said you were going to marry her off to Master Zhang, is that true?"

"Who cares if it's real or fake?"

Qin Zheng did not answer directly, but took Ye Yun's hand and walked into the courtyard.

Ye Yun followed him slowly.

The fourth brother rubbed his forehead, which had been tapped, and chuckled as he followed, explaining, "I was just curious, so I asked..."

"If she dares, I dare too."

The implication was: if Li Xiuying dared to cause him any trouble, he would make sure she suffered for the rest of her life.

Very strong.

The fourth brother gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Brother, you're amazing!"

Qin Zheng, "..."

Feeling itchy?

"Alright, Fourth Brother, I was just asking a question, why are you being so fierce?"

Ye Yun spoke up at the opportune moment.

"It's annoying, I just get annoyed whenever I see her, I didn't mean it was targeting the fourth brother." Qin Zheng's tone was much gentler when he spoke to her, and he muttered with dissatisfaction as he led her into the yard, "I should have known better than to cause trouble for the Guo family, so she wouldn't have bothered you again."

Ye Yun smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

Since we've already done it, let's just do it.

The fourth brother's eyes gleamed with a clear sense of foolishness, and he still smiled憨憨地, as long as his brother wasn't annoyed with him.

"Honey, have a seat for a while."

Qin Zheng pushed her into the recliner, then walked towards the sacks on the ground and called to Lao Si, "Lao Si, come and help."

"ah?"

When the fourth brother saw Qin Zheng walking towards the bulging sack, he quickly ran over.

Qin Zheng, who was squatting in front of the sack, had obviously forgotten about Li Xiuying. He quickly untied the rope at the top of the sack, held the top of the sack with one hand, and reached inside with the other to rummage around.

"Do you need my help?"

Ye Yun couldn't sit still, so she moved closer.

Since it was inconvenient for her to squat down, she leaned forward slightly and looked at Qin Zheng with a smile.

Qin Zheng looked up at her upon hearing this, a gentle smile in his eyes, and a slight upturn at the corners of his lips. He said mysteriously, "Wife, guess what good thing I brought back for you?"
