“She came here with someone to buy books. Someone called her name. She was a pretty girl, so I remembered her…” the burly man said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
He added, "I remember it very clearly, the book she bought was called something like Jin Ping Mei..."
Ye Yun: ? ? !
She suddenly bit her tongue, and the pain made her gasp.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong with your wife?" The burly man looked at Qin Zheng with a tense expression and puzzled. Why did she suddenly start convulsing while saying something?
Qin Zheng gave him a cool glance.
Without saying a word, he raised his hand and gently patted Ye Yun's shoulder.
Ye Yun coughed twice and waved her hand, saying, "It's nothing, I'm fine..."
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but rub his aching forehead again, giving the burly man a disdainful look. "You talk too much, you vagrant. Do you even know what Jin Ping Mei is?"
The burly man scratched the back of his head innocently again. "Jin Ping Mei... isn't it just the untold story of Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Ye Yun choked again.
However, to be fair, Ye Xue's appearance is indeed quite good compared to the average person.
She never expected that Ye Xue would secretly read a book like *Jin Ping Mei*...
While patting Ye Yun's back, Qin Zheng said in a deep voice, "Alright, since you know what Ye Xue looks like, it should be easier for you to find out. I'll leave this to you."
"Don't worry, Brother Zheng, we'll definitely find out the truth about this for you!"
"Don't alert them. Just find out who the medicine is for," Qin Zheng instructed.
First, find out who Ye Xue got the medicine for—whether it was for herself or someone else—before deciding on a strategy to keep those hooligans away from her.
The group readily agreed.
The burly man who had praised Ye Xue's beauty patted his chest, clearly very interested in the matter.
Another burly man, still rubbing his bald head, said with a puzzled look, "I really have heard of Ye Yun. I saw her when I delivered books to the school. She's pretty, and I heard she's a teacher..."
However, no one noticed him.
"Brother Zheng, you've finally brought your wife here, how about we cook a few dishes and have some drinks?" a few burly men egged on.
Qin Zheng waved his hand and said no.
"I won't drink after I get married," he said naturally, still holding Ye Yun's hand.
Hearing this, Ye Yun felt a warmth in her heart.
Jiang Yuan smiled politely, adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses, and joked, "Qin Zheng, you're definitely different now that you've married a wife."
Qin Zheng said, "Didn't you get married too?"
Jiang Yuan's expression hardened, then a hint of gritted teeth appeared on his face. "If we don't talk about women, we can still be brothers!"
Qin Zheng laughed heartlessly.
"Brother Zheng, don't mention Brother Yuan's wife. Brother Yuan hasn't been home for months. Every time he comes home, he gets scratched. Look at the wound on his neck, it's just healed!" the burly man next to him joked.
Qin Zheng said coolly, "Serves him right. Who told him to jump into a fire pit knowing it was one?"
Jiang Yuan's expression turned even uglier.
"Qin Zheng, what makes you any better? I heard from Gu Jin that when you first got married, your wife didn't like you at all! Now that you're feeling smug, you come here to provoke your brothers. You're only concerned with your own well-being, not your brothers' lives, are you? Have some decency!"
Jiang Yuan, feeling a bit annoyed, started rubbing salt into Qin Zheng's wounds.
Qin Zheng chuckled, "My wife and I are doing just fine. Didn't I advise you to run away as soon as possible?"
Jiang Yuan was speechless.
Ye Yun watched them chatter away, but she couldn't understand a word they said, so she just treated it as gossip.
"Honey, let me tell you, you have no idea how stubborn this guy is. He got engaged when he was a child, and he's had such a bad time!" Qin Zheng said with a grin, putting his arm around her shoulder.
Ye Yun's lips twitched slightly.
What era are we living in? How can there still be such a thing as arranged marriages between children?
