Qian Sheng's servants rushed over and, seeing their master beaten like this, hurriedly stepped forward. Qian Sheng had not allowed them to follow him when he went out today, and they still did not know what had happened.
This time, Qin Xiaozhou used all her strength, pushed away the servants, grabbed Qian Sheng's collar, and slapped him across the face from both sides. She only let go when her palms were slightly numb. Her face turned into a pig's head, and she was dizzy and disoriented. She spat blood on the ground and lay there like a dead pig, no longer daring to look at Qin Xiaozhou or speak.
The servant pulled out three teeth from the blood, staring at Qin Xiaozhou in horror. "You...you...you're going to kill someone?"
This caused the expressions of those around her to change again, and they all took a step back. Some men, in particular, had previously had some thoughts about Qin Xiaozhou's face and figure, since she often appeared in public and was certainly not a conservative person. A few quick-witted men had even thought of taking advantage of her, but after today, those thoughts were completely abandoned. Although Qin Xiaozhou was good-looking, this woman was not afraid of making a scene and was too ruthless. It was not worth provoking her.
After finishing the fight, Qin Xiaozhou threw the thirty taels of silver he had just received at Qian Sheng, saying, "Medical expenses."
Qian Sheng flinched, his voice barely audible, "I'm going to sue you."
Qin Xiaozhou sneered, "No need for such trouble." He then pulled out a hundred-tael silver note. "I've heard of court cases where someone is killed. The maximum compensation for killing someone is fifty taels. I'll give you double that, but you're not dead yet, so it's too much."
She pretended to be deep in thought, "You're not trying to set me up, are you?"
She seemed to suddenly realize something, and recounted everything that had happened that day. Then she turned to those around her and said, "Everyone, think about it, doesn't it seem like I've been set up by this person?"
Guided by this, and with the addition of the hundred taels he had received, the people around him started gossiping and pointing. Qian Sheng was both angry and indignant, and his mouth hurt so much that he couldn't speak.
Qin Xiaozhou ignored him and said to Qian Sheng's servant, "Everything I just said is true. If your wife asks about it when you get back, please tell her to put her mind at ease. I, Qin Xiaozhou, would never look down on someone like Qian Sheng. Please don't cause me any trouble or make unfounded accusations against me."
The yamen runners came and drove Qian Sheng and his servants out of the county town.
