Chapter 252 Don't Let Yourself Regret

When Ma Yuruo woke up the next day, she had a severe headache and lay in bed without moving. Her memories of last night slowly returned.

"Knock knock knock." There was a knock on the door.

"Who?" His voice was a little hoarse.

"It's me." Geng Ru said calmly.

Ma Yuruo turned over and sat up from the bed, holding her aching forehead and opened the door. She saw Geng Ru standing outside with a bowl of hangover soup in her hand: "Mom."

Seeing him like this, Geng Ru felt distressed again: "Drink this bowl of hangover soup. Your father asked for leave for him from the government office today."

"Thank you, mother." Ma Yuruo picked up the hangover soup and drank it.

Geng Ru saw that he finished drinking the sobering soup and said nothing more, then turned around and left the room.

"Mom." Ma Yuruo looked at her back as she turned and left, her voice a little dry.

Geng Ru sighed deeply: "Yuruo, do whatever you want to do. Don't let yourself regret it, but don't force others."

"Thank you, mother."

Wen Zhenyi is going to County Magistrate Lei's house today to prepare a birthday banquet. The ingredients are all home-cooked dishes, so there is no need to rush. Just go there at noon.

She was considering whether to stroll around the market or help out in the shop when Ma Yuruo came looking for her.

"Cousin, come with me."

"Let's go." Wen Zhenyi agreed readily.

The two went to the city gate and took a ox cart heading towards Qian Xiu'gu's home.

However, when the two arrived at Qian Xiu'gu's house, they found that the courtyard wall, which was originally not strong, had been completely broken and half of the gate had collapsed.

A Xiang leaned against a tree in the yard with his eyes closed, and the few pieces of furniture he had to begin with were now torn to pieces.

Wen Zhenyi walked over to Axiang and checked if she was injured: "Are you injured?"

Ah Xiang felt warm in his heart: "No, it's just that the three siblings were quite frightened."

Ma Yuruo looked at the tightly closed door and rushed forward, kicking the door open with one foot, completely destroying the already broken door.

"ah!"

There were screams of terror in the room.

Wen Zhenyi and A Xiang also followed behind Ma Yuruo and saw the three siblings huddled together and looking at them in horror.

Seeing the three people's frightened and terrified expressions, Ma Yuruo felt a pang of pain in her heart. She ran to them and squatted down: "Don't be afraid, it's me."

When Qian Xiu'gu saw the man in front of her, tears couldn't stop falling.

Ma Yuruo hurriedly wiped the tears from her face with her hands: "It's okay, it's okay."

Wen Zhenyi pulled out the other two frightened children. Xiuxiu was young and was so scared that her body was trembling.

She gently picked up Xiuxiu and comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay."

Qian Tu's eyes turned red, filled with hatred and anger: "I must kill them."

Wen Zhenyi looked at the other two people in the room, then took Qian Tu and Xiu Xiu and walked out of the room first: "Axiang, what happened last night?"

"A group of people came last night. They seemed to be hired by someone. Their target was Qian Xiu Gu."

"Where are they?"

Axiang pointed to a room.

Wen Zhenyi handed Xiuxiu to Axiang and went to the closed room.

Qian Tu caught up at some point.

Wen Zhenyi looked at him and said, "This is not something you should be involved in."

Qian Tu looked at the girl who was only a few years older than him and said, "This is my family's business."

Wen Zhenyi didn't say anything else and took him into the room. There were several men tied up inside, but their condition was very bad.

When they saw the two people coming in, they all had pleading looks on their faces.

When Qian Tu saw them, he rushed up to them and punched and kicked them, wanting to vent all his anger.

Wen Zhenyi didn't stop him, but just waited for him to vent.

Qian Tu was so tired that he had no strength left to fight, but he still looked at these people with ferocious eyes, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh from them.

Wen Zhenyi pulled the cloth off a man's mouth: "Who asked you to come?"

"Hong, Mr. Hong, he said that this little bitch from the Qian family refused to accept our toast and asked us to destroy her."

"Remember to say the same thing when you get to the government office."

The man looked at her as if she were a fool: "You, you can't touch him."

"Why?"

"He, there's someone above him."

"Yeah?"

"Even if we say he ordered it, he'll be fine."

"Then we'll wait and see." Wen Zhenyi stuffed the cloth into the man's mouth again, then dragged Qian Tu out of the room: "Go call the village chief."

"He doesn't care about our life or death. Otherwise, why didn't he come to check on such a big commotion yesterday?" The hatred in Qian Tu's eyes became stronger.

Wen Zhenyi touched his chin and knew that he could only let Axiang go to the yamen.

A Xiang didn't say anything and turned to head towards the county town.

The two people in the room have now calmed down and walked out of the room.

After Qian Xiu'gu calmed down, she recognized Wen Zhenyi. She gestured with her hands for a long time, her face full of astonishment.

Wen Zhenyi said calmly, "Don't be so surprised. I'm his cousin. I came here last time just to see what kind of character your family has. It's because my eldest cousin has fallen deeply in love with you."

Ma Yuruo, who was suddenly called out, blushed for the first time and didn't dare to look at Qian Xiu'gu.

Qian Xiu'gu turned to look at Ma Yuruo with slight surprise. She had always thought that Ma Yuruo sympathized with her.

She gestured something quickly again.

"It was our family who proposed marriage yesterday, but he was very sad when you rejected him."

Qian Xiu Gu gestured towards her again, and pointed to where A Xiang had been standing before: "She is mine, I asked her to protect you."

Ma Yuruo then remembered seeing Axiang in the yard: "Cousin, when did you ask Axiang to come over?"

"It's the day my aunt and I go back. Since she's one of ours, I naturally have to take care of her. Besides, I'm worried about my future cousin-in-law being bullied." As he said this, he winked at Qian Xiu'gu mischievously.

Qian Xiu'gu's face turned red instantly. She lowered her head awkwardly, not daring to look at the two of them.

Qian Tu looked at Qian Xiu Gu and then at Ma Yuruo: "Do you really like my sister? It's not because of anything else?"

Wen Zhenyi hit him on the head this time: "What else do you think it is? Is my cousin ugly? Is his family poor? Or is there something in your family that is worth our attention?"

Qian Tu was speechless for a moment: "You will really treat her well, right?"

He looked at Ma Yuruo, his eyes eager for a positive answer.

Ma Yuruo said seriously: "I will treat her well and take care of you."

Now it was Qian Tu's turn to be surprised: "What do you mean?"

Wen Zhenyi touched his chin and said, "Didn't the matchmaker tell you that my aunt and her family are willing to take you in to live with them?"
