Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Xu Yunfan's mouth is really...

I heard that Xie Baizhou and three others came from the capital, and had studied at the Imperial College in their early years. Their fathers were all high-ranking officials.

Not to mention becoming a juren, if he was really lucky enough to enter the court, he would be helpless and without any background. Once he was bullied, everything would be over, and more than ten years of hard study would be wasted.

Li Yunfei had no doubt about the truthfulness of Xu Yunfan's words. Qi Xiu Ze and the other three were not very close to others in the academy, but Xu Yunfan knew not only their names but also their identities and origins. It can be seen that he really had contact with the students in the academy.

No matter who is right or wrong in today's incident, as long as Xu Yunfan insists that he and Qin Run are in love with each other, they are wrong.

If such a scandal were to spread to the academy, the reputation and image he had built over the years would be ruined.

It should be noted that for students who participate in the college examination, or are admitted to Qingfeng Academy, or will become officials in the future, the assessment of knowledge is one aspect, and other aspects, such as reputation, are also very important.

Once a student has a bad reputation, and after investigation, everything is found to be true, not only will he be unable to enter Qingfeng Academy, but even if he becomes an official, others can pull him down and dismiss him from his post because of such a small matter.

If it weren't for knowing this, Aunt Li would have been so depressed to have a son like Li Yunfei.

"No, Xu Yunfan, it's my Li family that's at fault in this matter. Please, for the sake of our fellow villagers, make a big deal out of a small matter and let my mother go." Li Yunfei said this reluctantly. He hated Xu Yunfan. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be like this today. Not only would he lose face, but his reputation would also plummet.

It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Li Yunfei will definitely remember this revenge.

"Xu boy, don't go too far. My brother-in-law is the gatekeeper of Qingfeng Academy. He knows countless students and teachers. Aren't you afraid that my brother-in-law will ask them for help?" Li Geng, Li Dahua's husband followed closely behind.

Doorkeeper?

What the hell?

Xu Yunfan, who was a little confused at first, quickly understood. Damn it, Li Geng was taking a feather as an arrow!

Xu Yunfan sneered, "He's just a doorman. He just talked to someone a few times, and you think you're such a big shot? Why don't you let him try and see if they'll help him? Do you really think I'm easy to fool?"

The other villagers had never thought of this before. They just thought that Sun Dahe was very impressive because he worked at Qingfeng Academy and knew so many young masters. But after listening to Xu Yunfan's words, they suddenly felt that Xu Yunfan was right!

You have no relatives or friends with me, and we have only spoken a few words to each other. Why should they help you?

"Bullshit! Why didn't your mother go easier on An'er and the others for the sake of being from the same village?" Aunt Qin hugged the beaten Qin An, feeling heartbroken.

After hearing what Li Yunfei said, Qin Er's wife put her hands on her hips and started cursing, "You, the Li family, are shameless. You knew the relationship between our Run'er and Xu kid, but you didn't stop Sun Dahe from embarrassing himself, and you actually dared to bring him home. You said nice things, and you even thought about Run'er. Bah, how did you know Xu kid was leaving? Did he tell you, or did you guess it yourself? Don't think that others are the same as you just because you are who you are."

Aunt Li's two daughters-in-law were scolded repeatedly, so they were naturally unhappy. They opened their mouths to argue, "Mrs. Qin, how can you say that? My mother-in-law was wrong, but her starting point was also for Run'er's good. If Xu kid didn't leave, they would have had their wedding after so long. How can you be so unclear? Doesn't this give people misunderstandings?"

So, it’s Xu Yunfan’s fault after all?

"Mr. Li Geng, I'm curious about what you said. Doesn't a wedding require money? Everyone knows what the situation is like in the Qin family. Brother Xu is a foreign Khan and has no money. Where can he get the money to hold a wedding? So, are you lending it to them?" Sun Wu was outspoken and couldn't help but speak for Xu Yunfan.

"Enough of what happened today. Li Baoshan, look at what this has caused. Take Sun Dahe back with you. If he dares to come to Xiao Qin's house again, he deserves to be beaten to death." The village chief was very tired. The Li family had a student who was flattered too much. He really thought that Xu Yunfan would be afraid of them like other villagers. But Xu Yunfan was an educated person and was not afraid at all.

Xu Yunfan threw Sun Dahe over, grabbed Aunt Li's collar, and said coldly, "If he wants to marry me as his concubine, I'll be magnanimous if I don't cripple him. If he dares to make trouble again, or ask me to pay for his medical expenses, tell him that if he doesn't want to be crippled and have a leg broken, he can come to me and try. At worst, I'll give him ten taels of silver. Let's see if he's worth it or if I can't afford ten taels of silver."

"Shit, he dares to ask you for money. Does he really think that people in our Qin family are destined to die?" Qin San waved his fist. Qin Er, Qin Si, Qin Wu, Qin Liu, and Qin Qi stood in a row beside him, with unhappy faces, as if they were going to go and fight the Li family directly if they were dissatisfied.

Li Yunfei had completely lost face today. He didn't care about Aunt Li's screams with a twisted mouth. He turned around and ran away. If he stayed any longer, he would really have to find a crack to squeeze into.

After witnessing Xu Yunfan's outburst, everyone finally understood that although this guy from the Xiao Qin family looks thin, he is very strong. Didn't you see that kick just now that directly kicked the tall Sun Dahe away?

And Aunt Li, look, her two teeth are still lying alone on the ground.

Few of them could knock out two teeth from someone with just one slap.

Most people don’t have the strength in their hands like Xu Yunfan.

After dealing with Aunt Li, seeing that she was scared like a quail, Xu Yunfan loosened his grip on her collar, walked a few steps to Sun Dahe who was lying on the ground and unable to get up, grabbed Sun Dahe with both hands, lifted him up, walked to the gate of the yard, and under the shocked gaze of the villagers, threw Sun Dahe a few meters away.

Sun Dahe rolled several times before he stopped driving. Just now he just had a stomachache, but now his whole body was in pain.

Seeing that Xu Yunfan was about to kick him again, Qin Run ignored Qin An and the other two little guys and hugged Xu Yunfan and pulled him back, "Stop hitting me, Yunfan, that's enough."

If the fight continues, Sun Dahe will probably not survive.

Xu Yunfan's chest heaved violently. He knew Sun Dahe was still unconscious. He pointed at him and said viciously, "I'll spare your life today. If you dare to offend me again next time, I'll break your legs. I want to see if you dare to jump around me next time."

Still feeling it wasn't enough, Xu Yunfan turned to look at the terrified Li family. If it weren't for the village chief standing in front of him, Xu Yunfan might have gone up and slapped Aunt Li. "You ignored my warning. Everything that happened today is your own fault. You can't blame me for being so ruthless. I'm telling you, if I wasn't in a good mood today, I would have made sure you all go back the same way you came."

"Run'er is mine. How dare you come here and ask for him to be your mistress? How dare you do this? Is this a popular thing here? Fine, tomorrow I'll go to town and find some help. I'll have them take all your wives back home as mistresses. How do you think that works?"

"No, no, no... This is none of our business!"

After hearing what Xu Yunfan said, the two daughters-in-law of the Li family were scared. If Xu Yunfan really did this, how could they live their lives?

"Why, are you scared now? Did your wife ever think of my Run'er when she did this?"

If this happened to other men, they might think that Qin Run was having an affair with someone else or was still having an affair with Sun Dahe, which was why Sun Dahe came to his house without caring about anything.

Not to mention Xu Yunfan, what kind of rumors will spread if other people know about this?

How much harm will these rumors bring to Qin Run?

Xu Yunfan will never forget the expression on Qin Run's face when he grabbed him in the cornfield, looking aggrieved and pitiful, and told him over and over again that he was not dirty.

When Qin Run told those things, he looked at Qin Run's red eyes, which were filled with a thick dark haze, as if he was in despair.

An eighteen-year-old boy, who is at the peak of his youth and full of vigor, should not have such a look in his eyes.

Before he realized his own feelings, Xu Yunfan couldn't bear to see Qin Run crying and being wronged. Now that he knows his feelings for Qin Run, when others bully Qin Run, it feels like someone is cutting his heart with a knife. If Xu Yunfan can tolerate this, he would not be named Xu.

When Xu Yunfan heard that someone came to cause trouble for Qin Run, his mind exploded.

He knew that Qin Run was very strong, and he also knew that Sun Dahe was no match for Qin Run.

But he also knew that Qin Run had too many things to worry about.

Now that Sun Dahe has been injured, how should we deal with the aftermath?

Other villagers don’t dare to provoke Brother Sun, so why would Qin Run dare?

Just relying on his own strength?

Sometimes, fighting is fun, but what happens afterwards?

What if someone asks you to pay compensation?

Does Xiao Qin’s family have it?

If he can't afford to pay the money, will Sun Dahe make such a ridiculous request as compensating the person instead?

Also, he beat Sun Dahe, how would Sun Dahe retaliate against them?

In short, Qin Run has too many things to worry about.

Xu Yunfan knew that having power and influence did not mean that you could do whatever you wanted, but without power and influence, in this dynasty where officials were feared, if you were bullied, you would have to swallow your anger and endure it, just like Qin Sanniang's family.

He dares to do what Qin Run dares not to do, and he takes the blame for the anger Qin Run suffers.

As a man, if he can't protect his husband, is he still the second young master of the Xu family?

He would be so embarrassed if it got out.

Xu Yunfan was so angry that his crown almost flew off. He couldn't suppress his anger. He had to be ruthless. If he wasn't, some people would not remember their lessons unless they suffered a pain that was so unforgettable that they were afraid to think about it.

The Li family members were shocked by Xu Yunfan's questioning. Under Xu Yunfan's sharp and intimidating gaze, they only felt a bone-chilling chill, which seemed to be coming out from the cracks in their bones.

Aunt Qin took Xu Yunfan's hand and patted his arm. "Xu boy, that's enough, that's enough. They won't dare to do it again next time. There's no need to get into trouble because of these people. You and Run'er go and look after the two children. Leave the rest to Auntie."

The village chief found that he didn't even need to curse a few more times, the Li family was intimidated by Xu Yunfan's fighting power. When they came, they were so arrogant and domineering, but after seeing how powerful Xu Yunfan was, they had almost become turtles.

The village chief assured Xu Yunfan, "Don't worry, Xu boy. This is something the Li family did that was dishonest. I'll call a few people to bring Sun Dahe back to Xiaoli Village, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory result. Don't do anything else."

The village chief was really afraid that Xu Yunfan would do what he said and bring a group of scoundrels into the village the next day. Would that sound good if the news got out?

The other villagers who were watching the excitement were talking about it, pointing at the Li family and saying all sorts of things. The village chief waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, there's nothing more to see. Everyone, disperse quickly."

These people really enjoy watching the fun and don't mind making trouble.

The farce ended just like that.

Aunt Qin did not leave, but stayed to treat the injuries of Qin An and the others. In order to stand up for Qin Run, Qin Er and the others carried Sun Dahe and went to Xiaoli Village.

Xu Yunfan picked up the backpack that was thrown beside the courtyard wall and put it in the kitchen.

"Yunfan." Qin Run appeared behind Xu Yunfan without him noticing, and explained to him hesitantly, "Yunfan, I'm sorry, I don't know why Sun Dahe came. I rejected him before. Please believe me."

Xu Yunfan turned around and said, "Why are you explaining all this to me? Did you come here after An Ge'er and the others' injuries were treated?"

"I...I have to explain to you, you...you are my husband. Even though we haven't gotten married yet, you said you would stay and be my husband. I don't want you to misunderstand me."

Xu Yunfan took a few steps closer, coming face to face with Qin Run. They were so close that Qin Run could see his own reflection in Xu Yunfan's clear, bright, and focused eyes. "Since you also know that I'm your husband, then why are you explaining anything? You're my husband, and I don't believe you, so why do you believe the rumors out there? I understand the principle that rumors can only make a lie true."

"I believe you, but I'm still a little angry." As if to prove that he was really angry, Xu Yunfan snorted coldly, crossed his arms across his chest, and turned his back.

Qin Run pursed his lips, clumsily trying to coax Xu Yunfan not to be angry, but he was not good at speaking, and the only words he could say to coax him back and forth were the simplest and most direct ones, "Yunfan, don't be angry, I don't want you to be angry."

He walked around in front of Xu Yunfan, wanting to look at him, but Xu Yunfan turned his head away again, deliberately not looking at him. "You don't even know why I'm angry, yet you try to coax me. This is not right. You're not coaxing me to the point. How can I possibly calm down? Qin Run, you're really a bit stupid."

There is nothing wrong with what Xu Yunfan said.

Qin Run said he was taught a lesson, and he asked immediately, "Then can you tell me why you are angry?"

"Can."

Qin Run: “…”

This is a bit too direct.

If that’s okay, just tell me!

Qin Runfu had no choice but to ask again: "Why are you angry?"

"Because you were beaten, and you didn't use all your strength to beat Sun Dahe like this, I'm very unhappy. First of all, facing the enemy, if you don't go all out, it's irresponsible to yourself and disrespectful to the enemy."

Xu Yunfan's next sentence is pure nonsense. They are all enemies, so what's the point of talking about respect? But this doesn't stop him from talking nonsense.

"Secondly, you are my husband. The pain is in your body, but in my heart. I feel so distressed that I naturally get angry."

"I know you're worried about too much, so you're hesitant, afraid of causing trouble and not daring to go and beat him up. Qin Run, I want to tell you today, no matter what, we won't take the initiative to cause trouble, but we shouldn't be afraid of it either. I don't have any power or status, but don't forget, when you're bullied, you don't have to have power to fight back, nor do you have power to do whatever you want. The officials in the county magistrate's office aren't there for show. If someone bullies you again in the future, don't think too much, just give me a beating and it'll be over. I'll cover everything for you."

Xu Yunfan didn't know how much his words had touched Qin Run.

Is this what it feels like to be protected?

That feeling was like the first ray of sunlight shining down in the early morning light, accurately shining on the tip of his heart, so that his whole heart was warm. This ray of sunlight made people see the light and feel the ultimate warmth after the cold night faded away.

Qin Run lowered his head and took a deep breath to calm his joy. His heart was like a withered weed that was suddenly nourished by the sweet dew and became full of vitality.

How could anyone not like Xu Yunfan, who brought him these feelings?

He fell in love with Xu Yunfan because of a look from Xu Yunfan. He liked Xu Yunfan because of a look from Xu Yunfan, and this love lasted for a lifetime.

It would be abnormal not to like someone like Xu Yunfan when you are with him.

Qin Run seemed to be whispering, "Xu Yunfan, how can you be so nice?"

It's so good that he just can't get enough of it.

Xu Yunfan tapped Qin Run's forehead unhappily, a hint of pride in his self-satisfaction. "You only realize now that I'm a good man? I thought you'd figured it out a long time ago. Otherwise, why would you have been so desperate and crying to get me to stay? Actually, you don't know that what I did was nothing at all. After all, I'm a better man than you think. From now on, you'll know that I'm a rare good man."

Qin Run: “…”

Xu Yunfan's mouth sometimes makes him love and hate him.
