Tang Baozhu was waiting for them to make their move on the other side when she suddenly heard a "ouch" from next door.

Immediately afterwards, I heard what sounded like a fight taking place next to the courtyard wall.

"Li Jun, Uncle Li, I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time."

That was Li Fugui begging for mercy. They never expected that it was Li Jun who beat them up. Could it be that Li Jun had been keeping an eye on their movements all along?

Since someone's going to take care of them, she might as well just watch the show.

These past two days, Li Jun has been thinking about his fiancée's father's passing and was worried about the safety of the young woman living alone in such a big house, so he came over to check on her in the evening.

Unexpectedly, they saw Li Fugui, that good-for-nothing, trying to climb the wall. Tang Xiucai's daughter is his fiancée, so no matter what Li Fugui does, it's unacceptable.

He just happened to run into us, so let's beat him up first and then we'll make sure he doesn't dare to come here again.

If I don't beat him into submission, he might come back when I'm not paying attention next time, and it will definitely scare Baozhu to death.

Li Fugui and his underling Li Mingbao felt like they were about to be beaten to death by Li Jun. Every punch landed squarely on their flesh, and they were in excruciating pain.

They cried and begged for mercy, and then they heard a sound coming from afar.

Li Jun knew they must have woken up the villagers who were already asleep. It was all because those two hooligans were shouting too loudly; otherwise, he would have liked to beat them up a little longer.

"If I see you two wandering around here again, don't blame me for being impolite. There are so many wild animals in the deep mountains. If you get eaten by one of them, then you're just unlucky."

Upon hearing this, Li Fugui and Li Mingbao were so frightened that their legs trembled. They had never dared to go to the two big mountains next to Qingshan Village, and only dared to wander around the small hillsides next to them.

Because those two mountains are so high and deep, stretching for hundreds of miles, and teeming with wild animals.

They were so frightened that they repeatedly promised never to come here again, and only then did they tell the two of them to get lost.

Li Jun didn't want to let them go so easily, but as the footsteps grew closer, he knew that more and more people were coming.

He didn't want to cause trouble for Baozhu; if everyone gathered around, Baozhu's reputation would suffer.

He could only let these two off the hook for now. If they didn't learn their lesson, he would teach them a lesson and loosen his grip on them.

Worried that staying there too long might damage the young girl's reputation, he quickly left.

He had no idea that someone was watching from just a wall away, and he thought he was doing a good deed anonymously.

Tang Baozhu thought that the girl's fiancé, Li Jun, was a good person. At least he cared about the girl and even stayed up all night to watch over her.

Now, Tang Baozhu is the one who benefits. At least she has someone protecting her. As an orphan girl in the village, no one dares to make a move on her.

Hearing more and more footsteps, they arrived outside the wall. Fortunately, they didn't knock on Tang Baozhu's door. They just circled around to make sure they didn't find anyone, and then left.

Once it had quieted down outside, Tang Baozhu returned to her bedroom. There wasn't even a candle in the room; she could only light an oil lamp.

The lights were very dim, and with the wind blowing, it was almost completely dark, which looked a bit scary, especially since the house, where the scholar's father had recently passed away, seemed even more terrifying.

I quickly blew out the light and crawled into bed. I'd never thought of myself as a coward before, but now I finally realized it.

She entered the space instantly, taking the blanket with her. She decided to sleep in the space tonight; it made her feel safer.

Tang Baozhu realized that she had been there for more than a day and hadn't even looked in the mirror to see what the little girl looked like.

Now that she was in the space, she didn't feel unsafe anymore, so she became interested in seeing what she looked like now.

I took a mirror and looked at myself carefully. The little girl looked much better than she did in the last world.

She was pampered growing up, and her skin was fair and delicate. She had a soft and gentle appearance, with big, bright eyes. Her looks were quite striking.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Tang Baozhu wondered how the pretty boy Li Fugui from her previous life could bear to mistreat such a beautiful girl. Was he blind?

Tang Baozhu felt that she was already very beautiful and didn't need to improve her appearance. She didn't need to eat any more good food either. As the daughter of a scholar, if she were too beautiful, no one could protect her.

With the appearance meeting her expectations, she lay down in bed and immediately entered the red envelope group, where everyone was chatting enthusiastically.

Tang Baozhu: Brothers and sisters, I'm back! Did you miss me?

Physician Zhang: Your Majesty, it's been a long time. I wonder how Your Majesty is doing now?

There was a moment of silence in the red envelope group. Tang Baozhu also felt a little awkward. The title of Empress was very distant to her.

Now that I'm being called out, I really miss the old life, the days when I was waited on hand and foot. It was really nice, enough to spoil a perfectly healthy person.

Tang Baozhu: Doctor Zhang, I am no longer the Empress. I am now just an orphan in a small mountain village. My life is quite good now. Thank you for your concern.

When Xu Rui heard that Baozhu had become an orphan, he felt sorry for her again. In the last world, Baozhu hadn't paid much attention to him, and he had told himself to let go of those feelings. Everything was fine before, after all, he hadn't heard from Baozhu for hundreds of years, so any lingering feelings had faded.

Unexpectedly, seeing Baozi now an orphan, all the emotions he had suppressed surged forth, leaving him speechless and just watching everyone chat.

Tang Baozhu didn't see Brother Xu speak and wondered if he was busy. After all, she often went out to train in the world of cultivation, and she thought it was better that Brother Xu wasn't there, so she would feel less awkward.

After all, no matter how deep the feelings were, once you went into the system space, those feelings would gradually fade away, leaving only the memories.

Little did they know that their beloved Brother Xu was secretly watching from afar.

When Tang Baozhu mentioned in the group that she was an orphan, she immediately received concern from everyone. Actually, she didn't think there was anything wrong with being an orphan, it was just a little inconvenient. Of course, she might be bullied, but if she could stand on her own two feet, she shouldn't be afraid.

The way the group members expressed their concern was by sending her lots of red envelopes, and she instantly received many exclusive red envelopes.

This made Tang Baozhu feel very embarrassed. Would people think she was there to scam red envelopes?
