Strong women are afraid of men clinging to them

Su Qingli really couldn't understand him. If he didn't like her, why would he do such a thing?

She waved her hand, "No, Mr. Tan, men and women shouldn't touch each other, I'll go on my own."

After saying that, she strode forward. Although it was painful, she felt relieved.

Fu Xuechen felt so distressed when he saw her limping. He strode forward to catch up with her and lifted her onto his shoulders.

"Tan Xi!" Su Qingli exclaimed in surprise. Fortunately, they were in the suburbs and the workers had turned off the lights and rested. If someone saw them, what would happen?

"Put me down."

"Be patient, it will be here soon." Fu Xuechen comforted her.

Su Qingli was very helpless. He had clearly rejected her, but he still kept teasing her.

She sighed, "Tan Xi, please put me down. What if you use too much force and have a heart attack?"

"Not that weak." Fu Xuechen held his forehead.

Seeing that they were nearing the door of the house, Fu Xuechen put her down and instructed: "Remember to apply the medicine."

Su Qingli straightened her messy clothes and hair, without looking at him or responding, she turned around and walked into the house.

Fu Xuechen stood there in a daze. What had he done wrong again?

Qian Jue watched Su Qingli go in, then quietly caught up from behind, "Sir, you are so fierce, you made Miss Su shy."

"Let's talk business." Fu Xuechen glanced at him.

"I've found out that Lin Zui is the son of the Minister of Rites and the older brother of Miss Su's younger brother's lover. He came here to bring his eloped sister home." Qian Jue leaned over and whispered in Fu Xuechen's ear, "I've also found out that in addition to his wife, Lin Zui also married two concubines and kept many other women. He's a notorious playboy."

Fu Xuechen breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'm relieved."

Qian Jue was puzzled. "Sir, he won't let go of any beautiful woman, let alone a peerless beauty like Miss Su."

"Su Qingli wouldn't like you if you were so lustful." Fu Xuechen vowed.

The next morning.

Su Qingli sat in the hall, looking at Su Zhaoming and Lin Pianran holding hands.

Su Zhaoming fell to his knees with a thud, "Sister, it's Zhaoming who is ignorant, but if you insist on separating Pianran and me, I'm sorry I can't obey."

"Sister Su, please have mercy on me and A Ming and help us." Lin Pianran also knelt down following Su Zhaoming.

Su Qingli looked at them coldly, "So, this is the result of your whole night's thinking?"

She stood up suddenly and said ruthlessly, "Then let Master Lin handle it. He will probably take Miss Lin away forcefully. As for you, Zhaoming, even if you are not beaten to death, you will be crippled."

"Aming, this..." Lin Pianran didn't expect Su Qingli to be so heartless. Aming clearly told her that he, as the most soft-hearted sister, would not ignore them.

Upon hearing this, Madam Su rushed out and said, "Qingli, are you really going to ignore your brother? Are you going to watch him get beaten to death?"

"Mother, how can I take care of him?" Su Qingli was helpless. How could she have such great ability?

"No matter what, you have to think of a solution." Mrs. Su cried and was very anxious.

Su Zhaoming stood up suddenly and said resolutely: "Even if I am beaten to death, I will not let Pianran go."

He glanced at Lin Pianran and felt satisfied in his heart.

Madam Su only has this one son, how could she possibly watch him die?

She immediately stepped forward and grabbed Su Qingli, begging, "Li'er, please think of a way. If Zhaoming dies, then I won't live either!"

Seeing that his mother finally looked at him in a good mood, but it was because of his younger brother, Su Qingli couldn't help feeling sad.

Just then, the door was pushed open and Lin Zui came in again with a few of his men.

His gaze stayed on Su Qingli for a while before he looked away contentedly.

"It's been a night, what do you think?"

Su Zhaoming took Lin Pianran's hand, walked over to Lin Zui and knelt down, "Mr. Lin, I really like Pianran. I beg you, can you please help us get married? I will definitely pass the imperial examination as soon as possible and strive to be worthy of Pianran."

Lin Zui looked at him as if he were looking at a toad.

He asked his men to wipe the chairs before he slowly sat down, fanning himself. "Su Zhaoming, what man who's trying so hard to get a good degree would elope with a woman? You're not interested in studying at all, and you're not cut out for it. Waiting for you to get a good degree is the biggest joke I've ever heard."

"You..." Su Zhaoming seemed to have been poked by him, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Su Qingli didn't expect that Lin Zui, who looked like a dandy, could speak so pointedly.

The reason why her brother was reluctant to let Lin Pianran leave was probably because he had no confidence in himself.

She said calmly, "Miss Lin, you've seen how useless my brother is. Do you really want to follow him?"

Lin Pianran's eyes were filled with tears, she felt that they were all trying to separate her and Amin.

"I love Amin as a person, not anything else."

Su Qingli felt that she was truly hopeless. She shook her head and said, "If that's the case, then you can handle it yourselves. Master Lin, I leave my brother in your hands."

"Sister!" Su Zhaoming couldn't believe that his sister would not care about his life or death.

Mrs. Su was also very surprised and hurried to catch up with Su Qingli.

"Ah Li, how can you not care about your brother's life or death? In my opinion, the Lin family just despises our family for being in such a state. Go find Fu Xuechen and ask him to give your brother a position. Then your brother won't have to take the imperial examinations anymore."

"Mother!" Su Qingli laughed out of anger, and that laugh was even more creepy than crying. "What do you take me for?"

Madam Su plopped down on the ground, disregarding her decorum, and slapped her thigh as she burst into tears. "It's obvious that they have a connection, but not only did they not allow us to live in a good house, but now they're trying to force your brother and me to death."

She sniffed and sobbed, "You are so cruel! Was it easy for your mother to raise you? Why can't you help us?"

Su Qingli stood there, her chest rising and falling.

Every word her mother said was like a sharp sword, piercing her heart accurately.

She suddenly remembered Tan Xi's words, wiped her tears and said, "My constant concessions have been met with your unbridled demands. Mother, ask yourself, do you treat me as a family member?"

Mrs. Su clicked her tongue, her eyes wandering.

Su Qingli had already anticipated this result, but she still felt heartbroken.

She turned around, shedding a few bean-sized tears. "If you don't have it, then you have no right to ask me for anything. Zhaoming should also learn to be responsible for his own affairs. I can't help him forever. If I help him, it will only hurt him."

After saying that, Su Qingli left the thatched hut.

Lin Zui brought his men and caught up with Su Qingli. "Miss Su, could you accompany me to the market? I have something to tell you."

Behind him, Qian Jue watched Lin Zui and Su Qingli walk away, and asked the gloomy man beside him, "Sir, are you sure Miss Su won't be tempted? After all, a strong woman is afraid of men."
