“She won’t die yet,” Qian Jiyun replied coldly.

He did not look at Aunt Wang, who fainted after his kick. Instead, he glanced at Old An, who was so frightened he could not get up.

This man is too ruthless! He’s not treating my wife as a human!

“You… you all…”

Ministry Councilor He was also startled. He imagined what it would be like if Qian Jiyun kicked his waist… He would probably die.

He is too terrifying!

“Take these two with you and get lost!” Qian Jiyun yelled, his sharp gaze sweeping over Ministry Councilor He.

The latter was frightened and did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly instructed his servants to drag Aunt Wang and Old An away.

With her eyes fixed on the people leaving, An Jiuyue rubbed her chin.

“I wonder what will happen next. It’ll be lively, right?”

Aunt Wang has fainted, but her daughter-in-law hasn’t. She won’t give up when she sees them try to take her son from her, right?

The entire village will know about this, and it’ll be so lively! It’s a pity I can’t go.

“Do you want to take a look?” Qian Jiyun looked at her in amusement.

“No.” An Jiuyue shook her head, although she did not mean it.

Of course, she wanted to go! She was the one who started this. It would be terrible if she could not see what happened in the end!

However, she was also the victim of this incident. The villagers would not have a good impression of her if they saw her going to watch the commotion. That would not be good.

She was a good person who had saved so many people from the flood. How could she gloat over others’ misfortune?

“Are you really not going to advise them?”

Qian Jiyun looked at her little face. It was obvious she wanted to go so badly but was holding herself back. Even he could not bear to see that.

“Wouldn’t it be more exciting if you go and give some kind advice and plead with Ministry Councilor He? Are you really not going?”

An Jiuyue was extremely shocked.

Is it good for you to be so nosy? But he’s right. The villagers will get a good look at Old An’s family’s true colors if I go.

“Why don’t we go?”

“Let’s go.” Qian Jiyun smiled and prepared to leave with her.

“You’re the one who knocked Aunt Wang out. You’ll be responsible for waking her up,” An Jiuyue said to him as they walked.

How can Aunt Wang be absent from this exciting drama? She has to be the lead!

“She’ll wake up soon. There’s no need to wake her up,” Qian Jiyun replied.

…

At the Chief’s house…

Aunt Kang finally recovered from her shock when the Chief released his grip on her.

However, she could not help but be in a daze. He slapped her again after letting go of her arm.

“Ah!”

Aunt Kang fell to the ground, her hair in a mess. She touched her burning face and looked at the man who had slapped her twice.

“Are you crazy? I’m your wife!”

She had been all high and mighty ever since she married the Chief. Nobody ever hit her. Even the man before her never did.

However, she was slapped a few times because of An Jiuyue. She wanted revenge.

Aunt Wang is useless this time—she can’t even sell a child! An Jiuyue will not be so lucky next time.
