The person who kicked down the door was dressed in black, had his face covered, and was holding a sharp blade. He would raise the blade to slash down at anyone he saw.
"Mother, hurry up and go."
Yun Ruochun immediately used her stick to block it and kicked the man in black.
"spring……"
Yunling quickly pulled her aunt out. Her aunt could hunt wild boars, so she didn't need to worry about her. On the other hand, Yunling's aunt usually did little manual labor and put all her strength into Liu Shi. Against such a fierce person, she had very little chance of winning.
At the same time, Chen Jie discovered that the Fu family's ship had been pirated, so he hurriedly sent people to guard the ship. Then he jumped into the water with a rope. The water was very cold, and he couldn't help but shiver. But when he thought of Yun Ling on the ship, he quickly swam to the bottom of the Fu family's ship, threw the rope, and climbed up.
When Qin Yu saw Chen Jie successfully board the ship, he quickly followed suit. He stuck two small knives into his back and swam vigorously to the other side. After boarding the ship, he immediately ran towards the cabin, and the closer he got, the louder the teasing became.
"Oh my, she's a young lady after all. Brothers, we've really struck gold this time. Let's kidnap her and make her our bandit wife, and we brothers can finally have a good time."
"I have to say, this woman is really strong. She must be quite a character."
"It's a promise, after you've tried the first one, I want to try the second one."
"..."
When Qin Yu arrived, Yun Ruochun's hat had been knocked off, and her hair was scattered on her shoulders. There were four or five men in black surrounding her, and she only had a small wooden stick. How could she possibly withstand these thugs?
Enraged, Qin Yu drew the dagger from his waist and charged forward. He quickly became entangled with the men in black. Perhaps his self-created swordsmanship was too chaotic, making it impossible for them to grasp the pattern, but he managed to defeat them all by fighting one against five.
"Are you alright? Did they hurt you?"
Qin Yu walked up to Yun Ruochun, but before he could even ask a question, he was struck on the back with a stick. He stumbled and fell into Yun Ruochun's arms, watching as this seemingly frail and helpless woman kicked the man away and then turned to look at him.
"Are you alright? If it weren't for you, I would have chased them away long ago."
Qin Yu swallowed his embarrassment. "You have your abilities, but I have things I want to protect."
What are we protecting?
Protect her?
No, protect...protect...protect her?
Yun Ruochun had always been the one protecting others; she had never been told to protect her so directly before.
She suddenly felt her face burning, and at the same time noticed that her posture with Qin Yu was too intimate, so she quickly let go of his hand.
Qin Yu, who had been released, fell to the ground, crying out, "It hurts, ouch, it hurts so much! My back, my waist, my spine, it hurts so much!"
"You...you...you..." Yun Ruochun hurriedly squatted down, but she was at a loss. She pressed her palm on Qin Yu's waist, and Qin Yu cried out in pain. It turned out that he hadn't hurt his waist before, but now he really had.
The scene on Yunling's side was completely different. After boarding the ship, Chen Jie angrily beat up seven or eight men in black. He continued walking inside, driven by a heroic spirit to rescue the damsel in distress, but he didn't see the pitiful Yunling hiding in a corner waiting for him to save her.
Instead, she was sitting with her legs crossed, cracking sunflower seeds, surrounded by a group of men in black, and next to her was an unconscious old woman named Yun.
Why would they need his protection?
If she were to start a class to take on apprentices, he would be the first to sign up.
Chen Jie shuddered as he recalled the first time he met Yun Ling and how she tricked him. "Grandma."
"You've arrived."
"Grandma, are you alright?"
What do you think?
Chen Jie chuckled, scratching the back of his head. He took a step forward and looked in the direction Yun Ling was looking. He saw Qin Yu lying on the ground, with Yun Ruochun pressing on him. The screams, like those of a pig being slaughtered, made him look quite miserable.
"My great-aunt seemed to enjoy watching it quite a bit."
Yunling was naturally delighted. She kept a close eye on her aunt's situation, ready to take action against those foul-mouthed people at any time. However, she did not expect Qin Yu to appear, his clothes soaking wet, showing up without regard for his image, and bravely saving her aunt.
"Head镖师, do you know who this man is?"
"Who? Are you talking about Qin Dalang, my dear? He's the magistrate's precious son."
Yunling pursed her lips. Her aunt was a simple and kind person. If she married into a powerful family, it would be like a little white rabbit entering a wolf's den. Moreover, wealthy families might have concubines. Could her aunt really accept sharing the same husband with another woman?
How many sons does Magistrate Qin have?
"He's the only one, so he's spoiled. That's why Qi Min came along."
Yunling frowned slightly. He was her only precious son; who else would she pamper? She was worried that if he and her aunt had a falling out, the family would side with him, leaving her aunt feeling slighted.
Moreover, this young master might be temporarily interested in her because he sees her as special, and he'll pour his heart out to her, offering her everything he could possibly want. But once they're married, he'll easily lose interest and patience, and then he'll keep seeking new and exciting things outside.
"Head镖师, please find out if this Qin Dalang has any concubines. Remember, you must find out discreetly, without making a sound, and without letting him notice."
Chen Jie nodded emphatically, "I will definitely not let him deceive our great-aunt."

Tonight is destined to be sleepless.
Uncle Hua led his men to clean up the corpses on the merchant ship and the bloodstains on the ground. He then sent a small group to check if any of the cargo on the ship was missing or damaged. He planned to have someone report this to the trading company at dawn to avoid taking responsibility later.
Yun Ruochun kept watching Qin Yu, who kept complaining of back pain and headaches. Since she didn't know anything about medicine, she could only massage him to try and relieve the pain.
Qin Yu felt that the pain could not be relieved; in fact, it would worsen after being pressed. But he was happy. He wanted to stay with Yun Ruochun a little longer, much longer, except... except for this annoying Yun Ling.
He had no idea what was wrong with this young woman. Had he offended her in some way? She was pacing back and forth in front of him with an unfriendly look in her eyes, as if she were staring at him, afraid that he would take away her family's treasure.
"Auntie, I've learned a couple of medical skills, so let me examine him. I guarantee the medicine will cure him."
Before she could finish speaking, Yunling was pulled away by her mother, who had just woken up. Her mother also closed the door to prevent Yunling from going out for a stroll, saying, "You silly child, go to sleep."
"Grandma, I'm not sleepy."
"You're sleepy, go to sleep."
Grandma Yun covered Yunling with her coat and sang a lullaby to lull her to sleep.
Yunling couldn't sleep at all. She turned her head to look at her grandmother and whispered, "Grandma, aren't you afraid that he's a bad person and will deceive Auntie?"
