When this was mentioned, Ruan Kewei was still somewhat dissatisfied and immediately began to complain about his father.

"I'm just too nervous. That county princess was just seeing that old woman Ruan off. What does it have to do with our family? I haven't gotten together with my friends for a long time. We finally have a drink together, but I can't even drink to my heart's content."

To be honest, Mrs. Lou found it strange that Ruan Kewei had indeed rarely gone out during this period, and had been staying at home for half a month.

She tentatively asked, "You haven't hung out with them for quite a while. Were they all busy and didn't invite you?"

“What could they possibly be up to? They’re always stealing chickens and dogs, they don’t do anything worthwhile.” Ruan Kewei was clearly drunk, and he began to stagger to his feet, his eyes turning red as he stared at Lou Shi.

Lou was startled, knowing that this was a prelude to his attack.

Sure enough, Ruan Kewei shouted at her, "Come here, what are you doing standing so far away?"

Lou hadn't expected things to spiral out of control before she'd even asked a few questions. She was unwilling to give up and no longer simply hid her feelings to avoid his attention.

Instead, she kept dodging him while provoking him, saying, "They steal chickens and dogs, and aren't you the same? I haven't seen you do anything more impressive than them. If you're really capable, you can ask your father to find you a decent job, or even buy you a minor official position."

She wanted to take this opportunity to lure Ruan Hai out and get Ruan Kewei to say more about him.

Who knew that although Ruan Kewei was drunk, his movements were not at all sluggish. Lou's words seemed to have touched a nerve in him, instantly enraging him. He grabbed Lou with his large hand, pulled her hair, and slapped her across the face, his eyes red as he said, "You say I'm incompetent? You barren, worthless woman, you dare to look down on me? Let me tell you, I can kill and bury your man. If you make me unhappy, I'll let you taste what it's like to have your head cracked open with a hoe and die without anyone knowing."

Lou was completely stunned. Murder and burying a body?

Was Ruan Kewei speaking nonsense or revealing the truth while drunk?

Before Lou could even think, Ruan Kewei had already started grabbing her head and banging it against the wall.

He was always ruthless when he hit people, and this time he was even worse than before. I don't know if he had something he wanted to vent, but he beat Lou Shi so badly that she couldn't move after a few blows.

Fortunately, Ruan Hai, who usually doesn't get involved in things, rushed in after hearing the commotion and told his two other sons to pull Ruan Kewei away. His expression was quite unpleasant. "This brat, I told you not to cause trouble at a time like this. The county magistrate is still in the village."

Lou leaned against the wall, closing her eyes to catch her breath, feeling a surge of relief. Thankfully, the county princess was there; otherwise, given Ruan Kewei's ruthlessness this time, she feared she would have lost her life if no one had stopped her.

The Ruan family all saw the wine pot on the table, but they did not suspect that it was specially placed in the room by the Lou family.

After all, everyone knows that Ruan Kewei has a habit of hitting her when he's drunk, so she wouldn't hurt herself like that, would she?

Therefore, everyone believed that Ruan Ke had secretly hidden the wine in the house for himself.

Ruan Hai and the others were controlling the drunken Ruan Kewei, but no one was paying attention to Lou Shi. She leaned against the corner of the wall and slowly recovered. Although her whole body ached and she was still bleeding, her mind was gradually clearing up.

The two sentences Ruan Kewei said kept repeating in her ears, giving rise to a very absurd and terrifying thought.
