Qin's pupils constricted slightly.

He immediately stepped in front of Tianci.

Just as the whip was about to strike her face, a large hand suddenly reached out, grabbed the whip, and pulled hard.

The man holding the whip was pulled so hard he stumbled and fell to his knees.

His face was filled with a mixture of shock and anger.

"Who dares to disrespect me? Believe me, I'll make sure you die a gruesome death!"

The visitor was none other than Bai Yanzhang.

He had just finished paying respects to his parents and was coming down the mountain when he witnessed this scene.

Hearing this, he coldly replied, "To harass women and beat children in broad daylight, do you have any respect for the law?"

The man threw down his whip, stood up, and was about to say, "I am the law," when his companion patted him on the shoulder.

"This seems to be the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, who is known as the 'copper pea'."

Their companions whispered to each other.

The man's legs trembled involuntarily.

This guy is someone who dares to provoke even the Southern Depot's Admiral.

A wise man knows when to yield; he didn't dare utter any harsh words and tucked his tail between his legs as he descended the mountain.

The same goes for the others.

Qin Wenjun stood up and thanked Bai Yanzhang: "Thank you for your courage and righteousness, Lord Bai. I am deeply grateful."

"No need to be so polite," Bai Yanzhang said calmly. "You've come to pay your respects..."

He was momentarily stuck.

Qin Wenjun understood what he wanted to ask and shook her head, saying, "No, I came with you, Miss."

After saying that, he pointed to the carriage not far away.

Bai Yanzhang was slightly surprised.

She didn't even pay respects to her deceased husband on the Cold Clothes Festival?

Was it because that person's grave wasn't in the outskirts of Beijing, or because that person had treated her badly, that she didn't want to pay her respects...?

As I pondered, a handful of pine cones appeared before me.

Looking along the pine cones, you can see Tianci with his hands raised high and a smiling face: "Uncle Bai, thank you for helping me teach the bad guys a lesson. Please have some pine nuts."
