After figuring out the whole story, the Tang family and Yang Cailian were all stunned.

Yang Cailian only now realizes that the Wu family has always coveted her family's property, and that she was deeply in love with him, even to the point of wanting to die for him.

Suddenly realizing her mistake, Yang Cailian, like a little beast, started a fight with the man surnamed Wu.

At this time, Zhao Di took the medicine and gradually recovered, but she was frightened, deceived in love, and drugged. The triple blow had already taken away half of her life.

She now lies in bed, her expression blank, her gaze unfocused, devoid of any spirit.

No matter how Tang Xiahe, Yindi, and Qiqi called her, she didn't respond, as if her soul had left her body, leaving only an empty shell. (cascoo.net)

Just when everyone was at a loss, Xu Lanzhi arrived in a flurry. Seeing her once lively daughter in this state, Xu Lanzhi felt heartbroken.

She rushed to Zhao Di's bedside, grabbed Zhao Di's hand, and said, "Child, Mother is here. Can you talk to Mother?"

When Zhao Di saw her mother, her eyes flickered, and large tears rolled down silently, but she didn't say a word.

"My child, how could you have become like this? My good child, don't be afraid, your mother will avenge you!" Xu Lanzhi held Zhao Di and wept uncontrollably.

Xu Lanzhi talked to Zhao Di for a long time, but Zhao Di just cried. Xu Lanzhi had no choice but to cook a calming soup for her, and Zhao Di finally fell asleep.

Xu Lanzhi touched Zhao Di's pale face and asked coldly, "Where is that brat surnamed Wu now?" Her ruthless gaze sent chills down one's spine!

"She's locked in the woodshed!" Tang Xiahe was so frightened she didn't dare breathe. What mother hen protecting her chicks wouldn't be afraid?

Even Tang Qiqi found Xu Lanzhi's current appearance quite terrifying!

"Go and call Madam Wu here!" Xu Lanzhi said expressionlessly, then grabbed a rattan cane and headed straight for the woodshed.

Young Master Wu, his hands and feet bound, huddled in a corner, his body covered in wounds.

Xu Lanzhi slowly walked over, and without saying a word, she raised the rattan cane and began to whip the victim mercilessly.

This man surnamed Wu had just been tortured half to death by Yang Cailian and her cousin in a mixed-gender beating. He had finally fallen asleep when he was suddenly jolted awake. He was either in excruciating pain or terrified.

The rattan cane drew blood with every lash, and Young Master Wu was in excruciating pain, but his mouth was gagged, so he couldn't even scream.

At this moment, Young Master Wu was crawling around on the ground like a worm.

When Madam Wu saw her beloved son beaten like that, she was heartbroken. She rushed over and hugged Xu Lanzhi tightly, saying, "You shrew, let go of my son!"

Xu Lanzhi, with a strength she didn't know she possessed, pushed Madam Wu away in a few quick movements.

She gripped the rattan cane tightly and walked step by step toward Madam Wu, her eyes practically murderous!

Madam Wu stammered in fright, "What are you going to do? Abusing your power is a serious crime. If you dare to touch me, I'll make you regret it!"

"I want justice for my daughter!" Xu Lanzhi said, and the rattan cane rained down on Madam Wu!

"Help! Help!" Madam Wu's wailing voice rang out.

Xu Lanzhi's face was full of anger, and her blows became more and more brutal. She beat Wu and her son until they were too weak to even cry out and kept kneeling on the ground begging for mercy before she threw away the rattan cane.

"Xu Lanzhi, I'll make you pay! I'll take you to the authorities and sue you!" Wu threatened as soon as she could catch her breath.

Xu Lanzhi was still angry and said angrily, "Fine, go ahead and sue. Your son drugged my daughter. I have witnesses. The remaining drug is still on him. The physical evidence is complete. And you, the mastermind behind this, can't escape responsibility either. I want to see how the county magistrate will handle this case."

Wu retorted defiantly, "The magistrate will punish my son, but if word gets out, your daughter's reputation will be ruined. Who's afraid of who? If you compensate us some money, we'll pretend this never happened!"

Tang Xiahe couldn't stand it any longer. She kicked Wu Shi hard, saying, "Are you crazy for money? You've ruined Zhaodi like that, and you still want to extort money from her? I'll beat you to death!"

Mrs. Wu said with a sneer, "It's fine if you don't give me money. We'll just make a big scene. Anyway, my family is already at our wits' end. A couple of years in jail won't matter to us."

But your daughter is different. What respectable girl would go to a teahouse with a man? If she wasn't of bad character, how could she have been drugged?

Once this gets out, people will naturally embellish it, and then whatever others say will become the truth!

Young Master Wu also said in a lewd tone, "If you don't pay me, I'll tell you all the details of that matter. With so many girls in your family, you'd be perfect for opening a brothel. If I spread the word, your business will definitely boom!"

Yindi gritted her teeth in anger: "You're talking nonsense! My sister was just drugged when Qiqi and I arrived. You didn't even have a chance to lay a finger on her!"

"Hahaha, do you think they believe you or me?" Young Master Wu said with a ferocious expression.

Xu Lanzhi felt a tightness in her chest. She really couldn't let them talk nonsense about this, otherwise Zhao Di would be ruined.

But Xu Lanzhi simply couldn't bring herself to give money to these shameless scoundrels.

She gave Wu and her son another beating, then stood in the courtyard, lost in thought and feeling frustrated. She was unwilling to let Wu and her son off so easily!

"Aunt, where's Qiqi!" Yindi's panicked voice pulled Xu Lanzhi back to reality.

Yes, they didn't even pay attention to Qiqi. Where did that child go? Could she have also fallen victim to the Wu family's cruelty?

Thinking of this, Xu Lanzhi felt a chill run down her spine. Zhao Di was already in such a state, Qi Qi couldn't afford to suffer any more mishaps.

Just as she was about to go to the Wu family to demand her return, Tang Qiqi rode back on her white snow-white horse.

Holding the bundle in her hand, she excitedly told Xu Lanzhi, "Mother, I've found something that can keep the Wu family in check!"

It turns out that the Wu family had business dealings with tomb raiders in secret, and almost all of their ready-made clothes were worn by the dead.

What Tang Qiqi was holding was their family's clothing purchase list. This idiot, in order to figure out the price, even remembered clearly who the original owner of the clothes was.

Tang Qiqi and Xu Lanzhi took the booklet and returned to the woodshed.

Mrs. Wu said smugly, "See? Paying money to avoid disaster is the most cost-effective way, isn't it? If you give us the money, our family will never mention this matter again!"

Tang Qiqi laughed: "If the city people knew that the clothes they bought from your family were worn by dead people, what do you think they would do to you!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Wu panicked.

Tang Qiqi continued, "If we distribute this booklet, I think someone will come to our door demanding an explanation first thing tomorrow morning, and then your injuries will be easier to explain."

The Wu family never expected that this little girl could find this booklet. If this matter gets out, they will no longer be able to maintain their business.

Seeing that she had failed, Madam Wu had no choice but to back down: "Then give me the booklet, and I promise I won't tell anyone about your daughter!"

Xu Lanzhi raised an eyebrow and said, "I don't trust you. What your son just said made us very unhappy, so we cut out his tongue as a sign of your sincerity!"

Xu Lanzhi pressed closer with the knife, and the young man surnamed Wu was so frightened that he wet himself. His repeated pleas for mercy were to no avail.

Xu Lanzhi gave him two choices: either bite it off himself, or she would do it for him. In order to save his life, Young Master Wu bit off half of his tongue.
