Bai Nuo said softly but firmly, "I know you came for my brother-in-law. I did hit him, but I didn't know he was my brother-in-law. He was the one who let me into my room, so I naturally mistook him for a thief."
Granny Wang also said, "Grandpa, Madam, Master, Madam, this matter is indeed not our young mistress's fault. The young mistress has never seen the Fourth Young Master!" Entering her sister-in-law's room so rashly, isn't that asking for a beating?
Madam Zheng could no longer hear what Granny Wang was saying. She roared, "I think you did this on purpose! I never expected a country girl like you to be so vicious! Guards, give her a good beating!"
Hu Mingmei isn't here today; she'll definitely kill this village girl to avenge her son, Kang'er.
The remaining few were all blood relatives, bound by blood, so naturally they had no objection to Madam Zheng's words.

When Bai Nuo saw Hu Mingmei, she burst into tears and rushed towards him, crying, "Husband, you're back! I can't live anymore! They're going to beat me to death!"
"What's wrong?" Hu Mingmei gently hugged Bai Nuo and asked softly, glancing around at everyone.
Granny Wang recounted the events, and Bai Nuo cried, "I really didn't know it was my fourth uncle. If I had known, I would never have hit him. Even if he had tried to take liberties with me, I... I... I would have just died!"
