Listening to the whispers and discussions among the people, Lin Momo suddenly remembered that she had heard some things about this scoundrel and the Qian family when she came to town earlier.
That Mr. Qian was no good. Ever since he gave his daughter to the county magistrate as his eighteenth concubine, he had used this relationship to do a lot of things, such as forcibly buying farmland and bullying men and women.
I wonder if the wealthy merchant in the storyteller's tale is a reference to this person.
If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too.
She had a son, but he didn't learn to be good either.
These two, father and son, are simply the biggest menace in town.
Before, when she hadn't offended Lin Momo, she could stay out of it. But now that the Qian family was courting death, she had to consider whether she should act on behalf of Heaven.
After beating up Young Master Qian, Shi Guang wanted to leave with Lin Momo.
Unexpectedly, Qian Dashao's henchmen exchanged glances and suddenly rushed forward, seemingly intending to avenge their master.
This group of people also pressed forward despite their difficulties.
We have no choice but to go for it.
His young master was beaten to a pulp and lay on the ground howling in pain, while the servants didn't even get a scratch. What good will it be for them when they go back?
He would have been beaten to death by the overprotective master.
Therefore, it's better to crawl back covered in wounds than to be unharmed.
Besides, this guy is only one person who can fight, while there are five of them.
They still had a chance of winning against five opponents. If they could tie up this young man and let the master and young master vent their anger, wouldn't they be able to atone for their crimes?
Moreover, this young man has a young woman with him. If we capture her, we won't have to worry about him not surrendering.
They have quite a dream.
So they split into two groups: four people trapped Shi Guang, and one person went to capture Lin Momo.
As a result, the person who went to capture Lin Momo was hit by a tranquilizer gun. Before his hand could even touch her, he fell to the ground with a thud, his head bleeding profusely.
The four people who had surrounded Time had all had their legs broken and lay on the ground like puddles of mud.
Time turned around and delivered a kick to the man who had been hit by the tranquilizer gun, breaking his leg.
It seems these servants of the Qian family really will have to climb back up their ranks.
This scene is truly gratifying!
Several cheers rang out from the crowd.
"Great! This brat has finally met his match. He deserves it!"
"Karma! It really is karma!"
“My daughter, someone has avenged you today. You can rest in peace now.”
Some people who knew the seriousness of the situation stepped forward to persuade Shi Guang.
"Young man, hurry, take your wife and leave town! You hit Young Master Qian, and that Master Qian won't let it go. Run for your life, the farther the better!"
"Yes, yes, hurry up and run! We can't let the Qian family catch us, or you and your wife will be dead. That Master Qian is no pushover."
"Take your wife and run away before the Qian family arrives!"
Shi Guang thanked the group without a second thought and then calmly left the crime scene with his wife.
However, instead of heading towards the city gate, they went into the town.
The people who had just stepped forward to offer advice all shook their heads in disapproval upon seeing this.
"This young man is still too young and arrogant. He may not have a good future."
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man recognized Shi Guang. Watching the two figures leave, he shook his head and sighed, "This grandson of my uncle's family is still a young man after all; he's too impatient."
"As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. You've really gotten yourself into big trouble this time. Let's see if your father can protect you."
After thinking for a moment, he muttered to himself, "No, I should go back and tell my father."
With that, he turned and hurried home.

Meanwhile, time may strike, but there's no sense of impending doom.
After returning to the house, the couple carried the bamboo cage directly back to the west wing.
Shi Yu was not at home.
According to Uncle Li, he went out after lunch.
I guess he got bored staying at home and didn't want to deal with the endless stream of relatives, so he went out to find some peace and quiet.
The two of them were too lazy to deal with the stepmother, so they simply went back to their room.
Lin Momo took out a set of writing implements from her spatial storage and began grinding ink.
Time takes up the letter paper and picks up the pen to write a letter.
Logically, Lin should have been the one to quietly begin writing.
Although it's impossible for her to be literate given her identity, it can be assumed that she learned to read and write after getting married, from her husband.
But who can blame them when Time writes better than Lin Momo?
This kind of writing task naturally had to be left to him.
This is what is meant by "the capable should do more".
After a winter of practice, Lin Momo's handwriting has improved, but it is still not up to par.
Because while she was practicing calligraphy, Shi Guang was also practicing calligraphy, and her progress was even faster than hers.
It's estimated that she'll never catch up with that stroke of time in her lifetime.
Before long, Time finished writing the letter.
After the ink dried, he took the letter and the bamboo basket and went to the front yard to find Uncle Li to deliver the letter.
Lin Momo changed her clothes and lay down on the bed to rest. She couldn't help but think about the incident where Shi Guang beat someone up on the street earlier, and she became quite worried.
This matter is unlikely to end well.
It is said that the entire Qian family doted on their only son like the apple of their eye, giving him everything he wanted.
This time, their precious son suffered such a huge loss, and the Qian family, who had always been the kingpins of the town, lost so much face. They must be furious.
I have to avenge my son no matter what, and I have to give the family money to get revenge.
Otherwise, how will the Qian family maintain their standing in the town?
Compared to the Qian family, whose influence was deeply entrenched in the town, the Shi family could only be considered outsiders.
Although Shi Yu's previous official rank was much higher than that of a seventh-rank county magistrate, he has now resigned and returned to his hometown to observe mourning for his parents.
A local official is more powerful than a distant one.
If the magistrate were truly determined to avenge his concubine, he might not be willing to give Shi Yu face.
At that time, he might have been arrested by the yamen runners.
Lin Momo felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it.
Perhaps they should hurry back to the mountain after visiting the grave the day after tomorrow.
No, it's best to leave tomorrow!
It's fun to beat someone up for a moment, but you can only run away to clean up the mess afterwards.
If Master Shi, who is prejudiced against the eldest son, were to learn of this, he would probably be furious.

The Qian family.
Young Master Qian lay on the bed, his eye bruised, gasping for breath.
"Who the hell beat my son like this! I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death."
Mrs. Qian, who was by the bedside, was heartbroken. She waved her handkerchief and cried out twice, then seemed to remember something. She turned to her maid and ordered, "Go to the study quickly and invite the master here! Tell him that his precious son has been beaten."
The maidservant responded and left the room.
Mrs. Qian wiped away her tears with heartache and gently comforted her son, who was writhing in pain: "Son, bear with it for a bit, the doctor will be here soon!"
