Chapter 171 It's hard to deal with a nice guy!

The three sisters discussed it and decided to teach Lin Qian an unforgettable lesson. Since he had chosen to be a scumbag and hurt Zhang Qing'er, they shouldn't blame them for being impolite.

"I think we should just put him in a sack and beat him until he can't take care of himself!"

Ever since Lin Yuesha heard about Xuan paper and He Xing being covered in burlap sacks, she has developed a strong interest in the subject.

Scumbags don't deserve sympathy. After being beaten down by society, they might become more obedient in the future.

“Sister Yue Sha, a beating will only hurt for ten or fifteen days. We can’t cripple someone.”

Jiang Baozhu didn't approve of beating people, but she wanted to think of a way to embarrass Lin Qian. However, since Lin Qian had at least treated her mother's illness, she couldn't go too far.

Physical pain will eventually pass, but if it leaves a psychological scar...

"Sister Baozhu, you're really ruthless."

Lin Yuesha agreed; she really was a naive and kind person.

Jiang Baozhu: "..."

"Do the two young ladies have any ideas?"

With a direction in mind, Light Green changed her previous dejection and immediately joined in.

Yes, Lin Qian deserves a lesson he'll never forget. This is his retribution, and he deserves it!

He has someone he loves. If he were to be honest with his young mistress and have her break off the engagement, the Zhang family wouldn't say anything. At most, they would just sigh that the two are not meant to be.

However, Lin Qian's actions showed no respect for the Zhang family, almost causing Zhang Qing'er to commit suicide.

Such a selfish and indifferent person deserves to be retaliated against!

"It mainly depends on Lin Qian's weaknesses. For example, what is she afraid of?"

Lin Yuesha rolled her eyes. This was where she would have to start by exploiting people's weaknesses.

"There really is."

Zhang Qing'er thought for a moment and said, "My cousin was afraid of ghosts when he was little, but I don't know about now."

After all, many years have passed, and Lin Qian may have changed in some way.

There's a story behind Lin Qian's fear of ghosts.

There was a well in the backyard of the Lin family. Once, a maid jumped into the well and died. It was July in the capital, and the weather was hot. For some reason, will-o'-the-wisps suddenly appeared in the Lin mansion.

On the fifteenth of the seventh lunar month, the gates of hell are said to open wide. Lin Qian couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and happened to see will-o'-the-wisps floating around.

From then on, he was terrified of ghosts and monsters and never went out at night.

"That makes things easier! Let's pretend to be ghosts and scare him!"

Lin Yuesha made the decision: this was definitely a great opportunity! It would scare the scumbag so much that he'd run away in terror and regret ever being alive.

"But...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Zhang Qing'er hesitated. Although she couldn't get over the broken engagement, she didn't want it to lead to someone's death.

"Qing'er, he has never considered your feelings, nor has he considered the reputation of the Zhang family. Do you know how many women have committed suicide because they couldn't bear being rejected in marriage?"

Zhang Qing'er was relatively lucky, as she received protection from her parents. However, for women from ordinary families who were jilted, the worst thing was the indifference of their own families. It was truly unbearable, which is why many women chose to hang themselves.

This world has never been fair to women.

“My parents are from the south, where women are treated much harsher.”

Jiang Baozhu had heard Xu Shi talk about these things more than once. Lin Qian's beloved was a woman from the south, so he should have been even more aware of what breaking off the engagement meant for Zhang Qing'er, yet she acted like a victor, which was not entirely innocent.

May this despicable couple live happily ever after, and may their family be as close as family. May they never come out and harm others again.

“Miss, you had a high fever a few days ago, and the young master didn’t even come to see you once. Even as a doctor, he shouldn’t have just watched you suffer!”

Qianlu was furious. It was a very dangerous situation. If the old doctor hadn't given her a strong medicine, even if her young lady had woken up, she might have been burned into a madwoman.

Someone who's been through the worst is still worried about being haunted by scum; that's just too naive.

“You’re right. I’m always thinking about our past relationship, but my cousin doesn’t care about that anymore.”

Zhang Qing'er gritted her teeth, and the group gathered together to devise a plan. Once they found Lin Qian, they would immediately put it into action.

"Let's not focus all our attention on scumbags; we also need to find our own fun."

Zhang Qing'er, holding Jiang Baozhu and Lin Yuesha's hands, said with a smile, "You don't know yet, do you? This year's Lantern Festival is a joint event organized by the government and local merchants. It's bigger than in previous years, and I heard there are dragon lanterns and lion dances. It's going to be very lively."

Every few years, several cities in the north hold lantern festivals. This year it's the county's turn, and people from the surrounding areas will come to watch the festivities, making it extremely crowded.

The lantern festival features a long street market with countless snacks from all over the country, and Zhang Qing'er had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Then let's go crazy with lanterns together on the Lantern Festival."

Jiang Baozhu clapped her hands, and the group immediately made an agreement.

Upon returning from the Zhang residence, Lin Yuesha and Jiang Baozhu both received a gift, which she guessed was likely prepared by Madam Zhang as a token of her gratitude.

The sweets inside are unusual; they come from a long-established brand in Kyoto, and you can't buy them anywhere in the north.

Back in the courtyard, Lin Yuesha gave the snacks to Chen Shi and went into the house. When she saw her stepbrother, she rolled her eyes and didn't want to say anything.

She now hates pushovers, or rather, she hates pushovers who are scheming, two-faced, and hypocritical.

Xiao Qi was confused. Had he offended his little sister again? The little girl rolled her eyes at him, looking very disdainful.

"Little sister."

Xiao Qi knocked on the door, but Lin Yuesha was too lazy to talk to him and deliberately turned her face away.

Xiao Qi: "..."

The little girl was throwing a tantrum, and he had no idea how to coax her, so he could only try to find a topic to talk about, saying, "In a few days it will be the Lantern Festival, and then your older brother will take you to the county to see the lanterns."

"No need, I have made plans with Zhang Qing'er and Jiang Baozhu."

Lin Yuesha refused, but seeing her stepbrother's silly smile, and feeling guilty that her attitude was bullying him, she felt a pang of conscience.

Sure enough, it's hard to deal with a nice guy!

Xiao Qi didn't say anything. Fine, since he wasn't going to show up, let the pockmarked man and his little sister have a chance encounter.

"Brother, the people of the north are still unaware of the battle at Hanmen Pass. Is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth of the first lunar month still safe?"

Lin Yuesha suddenly thought of this question and was immediately stunned.

Having lived in a peaceful era in her previous life, Lin Yuesha had no concept of war, but she was vaguely afraid of it. She kept this information a secret.

"Little sister, this is for you. You should always carry it with you."

After Xiao Qi finished speaking, he took out a dagger from his pocket. The dagger was very light, with a button inlaid with a ruby ​​on it. Pressing it drew the blade, which exuded a chilling aura.

Lin Yuesha was a layman, but she could tell at a glance that the dagger was very valuable. How did her older brother get such a thing?

"My husband and I found it by chance while traveling."

Xiao Qi was lying through his teeth; having a dagger for self-defense at least gave him a bit more safety.

Given the current situation in the North, chaos is inevitable, so he needs to make some preparations in advance.
