"Little ancestor, please be gentle, please step on me gently. I've been starving for several meals. If you step on me like this, I'm going to vomit blood." Zhang Wujin said with difficulty, his face turning red as he tried to hold it in.
"Just because you say you didn't do anything wrong doesn't mean I'll believe you. You were really capable that day, bringing so many people to try and beat us up. If we hadn't been strong enough, we would have been killed by you."
This person may not have taken anyone's life, but he is definitely not a good person either. Thinking about what happened that night, Song Tantan was furious.
Why don't we just take him away, find a place to beat him up and vent our anger?
Knowing her intentions, Zhang Wujin almost knelt down before her. No, he had already prostrated himself; it couldn't be worse. "Little ancestor, I'll kowtow to you, please let me go, okay? I'll get lost, I'll get far away right now, and I'll never dare to come near you again and get in your way."
Song Tantan raised an eyebrow and looked at Ye Moxun, "What do you think, Moxun?"
Ye Moxun chuckled lightly, “Since the prefect has not pursued the matter, Zhang Wujin must not have committed a serious crime. He is still in the city and probably cannot leave. The prefect must have his own reasons. We don’t need to pay attention to this person.”
"Consider yourself lucky, but we can't let this go. Come here." Song Tantan dragged the man to a corner and beat him up.
After she finished tidying up, she felt much better and said to Ye Moxun with a smile, "Let's go eat."
"Tantan is in a bad mood, why did she suddenly want to hit someone?" She is usually very tolerant and doesn't usually hit people randomly.
"I just think it's too easy on him. Beating him up is already good enough. He tried to extort money from us and even wanted to get a group to beat us up. Isn't it too easy on him not to report it to the authorities?"
If he hadn't shown up, it would have been fine, but he had to stare at her just now. Wasn't he just asking to be beaten up?
In the evening, Ren Yufeng returned to the inn, looking very spirited. When he saw Ye Moxun, he excitedly rushed up to him, wanting to hold his hand.
Ye Moxun casually brushed him aside with his hand and smiled slightly, "It seems things went smoothly, and Young Master Ren got the result he wanted."
"Thank you for your help, Young Master Ye." Ren Yufeng bowed deeply to him, his face full of gratitude.
Ye Moxun did not dodge, but accepted the bow. It was because of Ye Moxun that he was able to take back his family property so quickly. If he had relied on himself, he didn't know when he would have been able to do so.
"Those two couples have been imprisoned and will be executed in the autumn. The Ren family's house and shops have been returned. I can take my wife and mother-in-law home tomorrow. I am so grateful to them for taking care of me and for being tolerant of me these past two years. Otherwise, how could I have survived until today?"
Ren Yufeng seemed to have finally figured things out; his energy and spirit returned, and he was no longer listless like a living dead man.
Seeing this, Shen Miao was overjoyed and cried tears of joy. She had been suffering in her heart. In fact, in the year since she and Ren Yufeng got married, he had never touched her once. They slept separately in bed.
He lay there stiffly, his eyes wide open in the darkness. To be honest, she often didn't dare to breathe loudly at night, for fear that he might suddenly have a change of heart and try to hang himself or something.
She also regretted taking him home. Her parents only had one daughter, and she hoped to continue the Shen family line. So, when she got married, she discussed with Ren Yufeng the idea of having more children and having one of her sons take her surname, Shen. If he agreed, she would marry him.
Ren Yufeng glanced at her expressionlessly and said listlessly, "Whatever, I don't care."
After getting married, Shen Miao was filled with bitterness. Her husband wouldn't touch her, so how could she have a child on her own?
Oh dear, she picked up a man and thought he could bring honor to the Shen family, but she ended up ruining herself. It looks like she's about to die without an heir. She almost had to kneel before the ancestors of the Shen family and slit her throat to apologize.
Thankfully, we met a benefactor, and now my husband's family property has been recovered. We can finally live a normal life again.
Ren Yufeng and Shen Miao were both very happy. They had treated everyone to dinner, but they didn't have any money on them right now and would have to wait until they returned to the Ren family tomorrow to repay Ye Moxun.
Song Tantan didn't stand on ceremony with them and ordered a large table of delicious dishes, which she ate heartily. Chen Miao sat next to her, drank some wine, and with a flushed face, held one of her hands and kept talking.
“Miss Song, I’m happy for my husband, and I’m happy for myself too. My mother and I finally have hope. You have no idea how scared I’ve been these past two years…”
"Yes, you can enjoy life from now on. As the young mistress of the Ren family, you and your mother won't have to worry anymore." Song Tantan buried her head in her food, occasionally taking a moment to say a few perfunctory words.
By the way, Song Tantan told Shen Miao her true identity yesterday, which is why Shen Miao is holding her hand and pouring out her heart to her now.
“Brother Ye, if it weren’t for your and Miss Song’s help, I really don’t know how long I would have been in this state of despair. I have let my wife and mother-in-law down so much these past two years. I know I’m useless, but I’m really desperate. I can’t find a way to turn things around no matter how hard I try.”
Ye Moxun agreed with him and nodded, saying, "It's clear that if you had any ability, you wouldn't be stuck in the Shen family doing nothing, just thinking about when you'll die."
Ren Yufeng: "..." Brother Ye really doesn't give him any face at all when he speaks.
“It won’t be like this again. It’s all up to us. I was narrow-minded before. In the future, I will definitely learn more from Brother Ye, work hard to enrich myself and strengthen my own power. If I had listened to my father before and been more ambitious, I wouldn’t have been forced into a dead end by my two uncles.”
Ren Yufeng seems to have grown rapidly in just a few days, and his whole demeanor has changed a lot.
The air of dejection has vanished, replaced by confidence and a touch of maturity in his eyes.
Song Tantan nodded secretly. Money can indeed help people regain their confidence and make them realize that the saying "money is everything" is absolutely true.
This reminded her of a Hong Kong drama she had once watched, in which the villain had a domineering line: "Sorry, money really can buy anything."
So she couldn't help but ask, "What will you do if you run out of money again in the future?"
Although the question was quite inappropriate, untimely, and somewhat malicious, Song Tantan couldn't help but want to provoke the other party.
Upon hearing this soul-searching question, Ren Yufeng was stunned for a moment before laughing and saying, "I will never let the Ren family fall into the hands of others again. If such a day ever comes, I will definitely rely on my own abilities to take the Ren family back."
Ren Yufeng is only twenty years old this year. When his father was murdered and he and his wife were kicked out of the Ren family, he was only seventeen years old. He was born into a wealthy family and was pampered and spoiled until the age of seventeen. Suddenly suffering the blow of his family's destruction, it was inevitable that he could not bear it.
It was because Master Ren protected him too well that he didn't know the wickedness of people's hearts. Even the people around him were wolves and tigers, let alone the people outside.
After experiencing so much, he should have matured by now. The Ren family will still need him to support them in the future. If he can't stand up for himself, then the Ren family will really be finished.
The next day, Ren Yufeng returned to the Ren family and first sold off all the servants. Then he bought four maids and six servants from a slave trader.
