At this moment, in the backyard of the merchant.
Shang Yuantang took off his outer clothes, leaving only a white vest. The terrible scar on his body was now flush with his skin, leaving only a light purple color.
Qin Li also took off his black shirt, revealing his strong and fair upper body.
The next second, the two men fought with bare hands like angry calves.
Shang Yuantang had been in the army in the past few years and had even been to the battlefield. Even after leaving the army and changing jobs, he did not neglect exercise.
Qin Li runs around in the fields and forests almost day and night, and his agile body is the result of training with ferocious beasts.
The two were evenly matched and the fight was fierce.
"Lu Chengyi, very good, you didn't let me down!"
Shang Yuantang, who was punched by Qin Li, smiled provocatively and kicked him.
Qin Li failed to dodge in time and was kicked in the chest, "Shang Yuantang, you're not bad either!"
The next moment, he quickened his pace and punched even faster and harder.
Shang Yuantang was not to be outdone. Every punch and kick he threw was packed with overwhelming force.
When Chen Tan arrived, Qin Li had a bruise on the left side of his cheek, several bruises on his back, and a large blue footprint on his chest.
There was a long tear on the right side of his trousers from the knee to the hem, and the slender calf that was faintly visible was also covered with bruises.
Shang Yuantang was even worse off. There were two bruises on his face, and his vest was torn to pieces and thrown on the ground. His chest and back, which were already red and purple, had several spots that were darker than the ones next to them and were bulging, obviously caused by punches.
The pants were even more embarrassing, with the crotch torn at the back, revealing the black underwear underneath.
The two trouser legs were so torn that they looked like beggar's clothes.
Zhou Qinglan and Aunt Xu were extremely anxious watching from the side, but they didn't dare to say anything to persuade them.
When they saw Chen Tan coming, they all ran over and said, "Xiao Tan, please try to persuade them to stop fighting."
Chen Tan had heard Qin Qiuniang tell the story of Qin Li and Shang Yuantang's childhood, so he didn't find it surprising that they had a fight ten years later.
But isn't it embarrassing for a man in his twenties to tear his clothes when meeting someone?
She politely called out to Zhou Qinglan, "Don't worry, Madam. They know their limits."
"I know, but it hurts just looking at it," Zhou Qinglan said, looking at his son's handsome face, feeling distressed. "Hurry up and persuade your brother to stop!"
She couldn't persuade her son, no matter how much she shouted. The brat from the Lu family didn't listen to her, which was infuriating.
Chen Tan didn't want the two of them to continue fighting, so he walked three meters away from their fighting circle and said, "Stop fighting!"
Her voice was not loud and did not contain much emotion, just three words floated out of her mouth lightly.
Upon hearing this, the two men stopped at the same time.
This surprised both Zhou Qinglan and Aunt Xu.
With just one sentence, she managed to control these two men who were as violent as tigers?
"Atan, why are you here?"
There was a hint of embarrassment in Qin Li's surprised eyes, and he was afraid that Chen Tan would be angry.
Shang Yuantang's face was also embarrassed. How could she see him in such a miserable state?
He pretended to be calm, nodded to Chen Tan, and said to Qin Li: "Go upstairs and change your clothes. I have something to talk to you about."
After saying that, he went upstairs first.
Qin Li also had something to talk to him about, but he still walked over first, bowed to Zhou Qinglan, and said with a playful smile: "Aunt Zhou, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"Haha, it's okay, you young people just have fun, come in and change your clothes and have dinner."
Zhou Qinglan had met Lu Chengyi and Lu Zhongqing before, and knew that their family members were all unrestrained and uninhibited.
"Okay, thank you for the treat, sorry for disturbing you!"
After Qin Li finished speaking, he took Chen Tan's hand and followed Zhou Qinglan into the living room.
He touched her hair and said, "You stay downstairs and talk to Aunt Zhou. I'll be down in a while."
"Okay." Chen Tan nodded obediently.
Qin Li pinched her nose lovingly and went upstairs under the guidance of Aunt Xu.
Zhou Qinglan frowned at the overly intimate actions of the two, "Are you siblings?"
Chen Tan was stunned. Didn’t they know about her relationship with Qin Li?
Is there any misunderstanding?
She smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm Brother Qin's girlfriend. We got married last year, but we haven't gotten the marriage certificate yet."
In her eyes, they were still in a relationship, but in the eyes of the entire Hongyao Brigade, Qin Li and everyone around him, she was the one who was carried home by Qin Li in a red wedding dress last year, and she was considered his formal wife.
She was not wrong to say that.
Zhou Qinglan felt numb all over.
Qin Li’s wife?
Not a sister?
Oh my God, what did she do?
Didn’t Yuantang send someone to investigate Qin Li?
How did he find out? This girl is Qin Li's wife, so why does he insist that she is his sister?
Could it be that he wants to steal his friend's wife?
This is absolutely not possible.
"Oh, Yuantang told me that you were Chengyi's sister, and I thought you were... Oh, what a mistake," Zhou Qinglan said ashamedly, pushing the fruit plate on the table towards Chentan. "I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate before. Please don't hold it against Aunt Zhou."
"Ma'am, you're joking. You and Mr. Shang have helped me a lot. I can't thank you enough."
Chen Tan smiled and picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He felt a little anxious. Why hadn't Qin Li come down yet?
At this moment, Qin Li, who had changed into Shang Yuantang's clean clothes, was chatting with Shang Yuantang in the study.
The two talked about the past, the present, and even the future.
Finally, Shang Yuantang said, "Instead of staying here to protect them, why not go to the army and make a name for yourself? Maybe you can change your family's current situation."
Qin Li held the teacup with a faint smile on his face, his dark eyes slightly lowered, showing no emotion.
