She said she was already married, not that she was going to get married.

"What!" Li Qing's expression turned as if he had been struck by lightning, his gentle face instantly turning into a dark expression, his eyes widening, "When did this happen?"

"Just now." Li Ru chuckled, grabbed Xie Xiao's hand, and noticed for the first time that the guy's palms were sweaty and sticky.

Is her brother really that scary?

Xie Xiao is fearless, but as the eldest brother, he has a fatherly relationship with his wife. If she doesn't agree, the duck that's already in his mouth—no, the wife that's already in his hands—will fly away.

Li Qing stared sternly at Xie Xiao, his gaze almost tangible. "I'm asking you, when did you two get together?"

Doesn't my younger sister really like that guy surnamed Song?

Xie Xiao, Li Ruo: ...

“Just a short time ago,” Li Ruo said.

“Actually, it was a long time ago,” Xie Xiao said.

Then they quickly changed their tune.

Li Ruo: "That's right, a long time ago."

Xie Xiao: "Yes, not long ago."

Li Qing: ... "Was that not long ago or a long time ago?"

At this moment, both of them said at the same time, "A long time ago."

Li Qing rolled up his sleeves and said, "Well, Xie Xiao, you've been eyeing my sister all along!" He looked like he was about to beat the crap out of him.

If he remembers correctly, a long time ago Xie Xiao was a notorious bandit.

Li Qing's mountain-like body and the aura he exuded from being surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood were quite terrifying. Li Yi, who was furthest away, was so frightened that he hid behind Old Lady Li and only dared to peek out.

My brother-in-law is finished this time.

My older brother really dotes on me.

When my sister was thirteen, she was to be engaged to the Song family. The Song family was a large and influential family. My older brother even said that the Song family was not good enough for my sister, not to mention that Xie Xiao had been a bandit.

Oh, now they're bandits too.

To everyone's surprise, Xie Xiao not only didn't dodge, but also straightened his back and looked at her with bright eyes, "There's nothing I'm afraid to say. I've loved her for a long time, and now I love her even more than before. If my brother-in-law thinks I'm not good enough for him because I'm a bandit, I will never let go of her."

Li Qing's fist froze in mid-air.

Haha, that's quite bold.

They're more daring than those with the surname Song.

People with the surname Song used to run away in fear whenever they saw him.

Two equally bright eyes met.

It was as if sparks were crackling and flying everywhere in the air.

Everyone else's hearts were in their throats.

There was still a tremor in Li Ruo's eyes. He said, "You love me even more now?" Suddenly, the slight resentment and unease in her heart disappeared, leaving only a blissful joy.

She pulled down Li Qing's fist, which was as big as a clay pot. "Brother, his father was once our father's subordinate, haven't you forgotten?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten. I also want to ask him why he became a bandit."

“It’s a long story,” Li Ruo said. “But he didn’t kill any innocent people. Besides, he took good care of our family after the flood. We’ve been through thick and thin together several times. We admire each other and are in love. That’s why I agreed to marry him so quickly.”

"Really?" Li Qing asked, her younger sister's reaction to her feelings for him was quite rapid. "Are you sure you really like him?"

Li Ruosuan realized that while her elder brother was questioning Xie Xiao, he was also testing her. After all, the original owner had loved Song Zhijing despite her family's objections, which resulted in a tragedy. He hoped that she would recognize her own heart this time.

Li Ruo nodded very seriously, "Yes."

Xie Xiao's eyes shone even brighter. "Brother, you heard it. Li Ruo and I are in love. We have already bowed to heaven and earth in front of everyone. I hope you will grant our wish."

Li Qing turned his gaze to Xie Xiao again, as if trying to stare a hole through him.

Such a murderous gaze is really hard for most people to withstand.

Xie Xiao was still able to stand firm and meet his gaze.

Sun Ergou and his two brothers at the door were so weak in the knees that they collapsed on the threshold. No wonder the Li family father and son were invincible in any direct battle. There was no need to fight; they could just stand there.

Suddenly, Li Qing burst into laughter, which startled all the rats in the house away.

He slapped Xie Xiao hard on the shoulder, and even Li Ruo, who was holding Xie Xiao's hand, felt a tingling sensation in her arm.

Is this arm still usable?

Liao Fusheng, standing to the side, rubbed his arm, feeling a little better.

But good heavens, Xie Xiao didn't even blink. "Big brother, does that mean you agree?"

Everyone: "You agreed?" They didn't say anything.

I thought we were going to have at least a fight.

Li Qing: "You don't understand the silent competition between men."

Everyone: ...

"Yay!" Sun Ergou cheered. "Boss, can we continue our wedding banquet now?"

Xie Xiao swallowed hard, enduring the pain as if his arm had been dislocated. "Of course we'll continue! It's a wedding banquet and a victory celebration, isn't it, my lady?"

Li Ruo glanced at him with a smile.

"Yay!" Sun Ergou led his brothers to return to Fourth Master and Uncle Luo.

"It's a pity, there's only one dress like this," Lian Lizhi said with great heartache.

The bride's dress was torn, and the groom had a cut on his chest, but thankfully no muscles were injured.

Both of their dresses were stained with mud and blood.

"No taboos," Li Ruo said. "Which wedding wasn't violent and bloody?"

When she married Song Zhijing, she was smashed on the head and bled profusely. When Li Xingran was born, a flood occurred. When Li Xingran was a month old, she fought a battle with the people of Baiyun Peak. This time, needless to say.

Xie Xiao held her hand tightly and looked at Li Qing, "I will hold another wedding for you after the flood recedes. At that time, I will let everyone know that you, Li Ruo, are my wife, Xie Xiao's wife."

Li Qing opened his eyes wide and patted Xie Xiao's shoulder again, "Okay, remember what you said."
