She didn't want that; she only wanted Cheng Qingyan to be safe, healthy, and live a long life.
"Let's forget it. Ayan and I aren't used to this kind of noisy life. We just hope things will end soon so I can finally relax."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, they won't dare to do anything to you."
She knew, of course; she knew as soon as Shen Ziyu gave her the token.
As a county magistrate of Yuanning County, he really wouldn't dare to do anything insolent to Shen Ziyu.
The fact that Shen Ziyu came all the way from Shuanghe Village means that she has also gotten involved.
She wouldn't stand idly by, which means neither Cheng Qingyan nor she would be in danger.
At least, there will be no overt danger.
They have no other choice but to rely on themselves.
After Cheng Qingyan wounded the last servant, Nie Yilin also slashed his left arm.
It only tore her long dress; there was no bleeding.
Terrified Ye Lingyu, Shen Ziyu moved so fast that Ye Lingyu didn't even have time to react before she was already beside Cheng Qingyan and delivered a sword strike to Nie Yilin.
Her sword slashed Nie Yilin's left arm, in the same spot where Cheng Qingyan's clothes were torn.
Nie Yilin tore Cheng Qingyan's clothes, and Shen Ziyu scratched his arm, almost ruining his left arm.
Blood flowed down his arm and onto the ground; if it had been just a fraction deeper, he would have broken a bone.
The sword was so fast that he didn't even blink before he saw how it was drawn, let alone that the person deliberately controlled the force so as not to hurt his bones.
If she wanted, she could cut off his entire arm.
And he himself was powerless to fight back.
Nie Yilin gritted his teeth, and large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
Several constables stepped forward to help him up, but Nie Yilin told them not to go and die, and that they didn't dare to go forward anymore.
Ye Lingxi cursed inwardly, "Useless, all of them are useless!"
She came with great fanfare, but now she's been beaten so badly. Where does she put her face?
Shen Ziyu stood beside Cheng Qingyan and gave Nie Yilin a cold look: "Go back and tell the magistrate of Yuanning County that if he doesn't want to die, he'd better behave himself."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind giving him a ride."
One of the yamen runners protested, "You country bumpkin, how dare you speak so rudely! How can you threaten the magistrate!"
"Both of them are fugitives. We were ordered to arrest them. What wrong have we done?"
Shen Ziyu chuckled: "Do the constables have any warrants? Do they have any witnesses? Do they have any official documents issued by the county government?"
"A fugitive? You should go back and ask the magistrate of Yuanning County if he dares to go to sea to arrest him."
Nie Yilin almost fainted. He felt cold all over and his lips trembled as he said, "Say no more. Thank you. We'll take our leave."
Tell the constable to stop talking, because they didn't bring any documents with them this time, only the magistrate's verbal orders.
This way, as long as the person is brought back, no matter what happens afterward, there will be no evidence left to use against them.
Even if someone is killed, no one will know anything.
The magistrate's original intention was to secretly take the person back to the county office and interrogate them however he pleased.
But their second son's wife insisted on making such a fuss.
They even went so far as to take time to retrieve the luxurious carriage from the Ye residence.
As for thanking him, of course he was thanking Shen Ziyu for not cutting off his arm.
Without arms, he became a one-armed constable?
He couldn't win the fight, couldn't capture the person, and was injured, so of course he had to run away as quickly as possible.
As for what happens next, that's beyond the control of a mere constable like him.
Ye Lingxi was extremely unwilling. It was something that was a sure thing, but in the end, she failed to accomplish it!
Going back in such a sorry state, who knows how they'll be treated?
It's all Ye Lingyu's fault. If she had just come back with me in the first place, things would have been fine!
It's all because of that bitch! How long is she going to keep ruining me?!
When will she die! From this day forward, I won't be able to sleep peacefully until she's dead.
Next time, next time I must kill Ye Lingyu and the others to vent my hatred!
Nie Yilin was helped away, and Ye Lingxi turned to get into the carriage.
Cheng Qingyan shouted at her, "Stop right there! Do you think my house is a place you can just barge into and leave as you please?"
Ye Lingxi's eyes revealed a tangible resentment that made Cheng Qingyan feel as if he were facing not a person, but a venomous snake flicking its tongue.
"What do you want? Kill me? You dare?"
Cheng Qingyan didn't care: "Your blood is dirty. My wife doesn't let me play with dirty things. You should stand over there."
Ye Lingxi stood still, not believing that Cheng Qingyan and the others would dare to kill her in front of so many people.
Seeing that she didn't move, Cheng Qingyan raised his knife and walked towards her.
Ye Lingxi chickened out, and as the knife got closer and closer to her, she retreated again and again.
Cheng Qingyan didn't even look at her, and walked to a stop not far from the carriage.
He raised the knife above his head and slashed at the carriage several times.
She hacked the carriage to pieces, leaving it in ruins.
Ye Lingxi pounced on her like a mad dog. This was the carriage she had borrowed from Ye Zongzhi to make a show of things.
How could she go back after being chopped to pieces by Cheng Qingyan?
The carriage is gone, and she's sitting on a flatbed cart?
What kind of behavior is this? What will others think of her?
She was furious and lunged at Cheng Qingyan without a second thought.
While nimbly dodging, Cheng Qingyan cursed at her, "Are you sick? I told you, my wife doesn't let me play with dirty things, so get away from me!"
"Dirty thing! How dare this villager call her dirty thing! She's furious!"
She was more noble than everyone else in the village; she was the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, one of the most prominent families in the county.
She was pampered since childhood, and when she got married, her dowry stretched for miles. Who wouldn't envy her?
Even if she didn't marry the county magistrate's eldest son, the county magistrate's second son was someone many people would rather die than marry.
Why is she considered a filthy creature that everyone hates and beats up once she arrives here?
Ye Lingxi's eyes were bloodshot, as if blinded by hatred, and she had no reason left.
The four maids and servants were all dumbfounded. This was not the high and mighty young mistress they usually saw, the one they could only admire from afar!
A madwoman, yes, Ye Lingxi was just like a madwoman at this moment.
Cheng Qingyan was much more agile than Ye Lingxi, always hiding and dodging.
"Hey you guys, if you don't control your mad dog, I'll chop her up!"
“She attacked me first. If I kill her, you all have to testify for me. This was self-defense.”
Upon hearing that someone was going to kill their young mistress, the maids rushed forward and, disregarding all formalities, pinned Ye Lingxi down.
Going back to be scolded and punished is better than Ye Lingxi actually being killed here.
If Ye Lingxi dies here, all of them will only face certain death if they go back.
Even after being pinned down, Ye Lingxi continued to struggle desperately. At this moment, she felt nothing but hatred for Cheng Qingyan, wishing she could drink his blood, eat his flesh, and skin him alive.
