The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Fang Yingxue had been hoping for her future sister-in-law to help punish Su Qianqian. With such a great opportunity right in front of her, how could she possibly let it go?

She pointed to the mule cart and said, "Sister-in-law, that cart belongs to the third branch of the Su family in our village. The girl in that family is named Su Qianqian. She always bullies me and is always thinking about marrying my brother."

Tang Yuerao had a deep memory of the name Su Qianqian. It was this girl who had bewitched her last time, causing her to spend ten times the price to buy a rainbow dress.

Although three hundred taels was not much for the Tang family, Tang Yuerao still felt a tightness in her chest.

That incident was a humiliation she could never shake off.

Every time Tang Yuerao thought about that incident, she felt a burning hatred.

As a well-bred young lady skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, she was actually defeated by a mere peasant girl and completely manipulated by her.

If her close friends knew, they would definitely laugh their heads off.

But it doesn't matter. This is a remote mountain village, far from the reach of the emperor. It's easy to teach a few lowly people a lesson. Even if someone is killed, the county magistrate will cover for him.

Who cares if a few ants die?

Tang Yuerao tidied her makeup, lifted the hem of her bright red and gold-embroidered skirt and stepped off the carriage. She glanced at the four maids and the old woman beside her, feeling even more superior.

She was just a peasant girl; she wasn't even qualified to be his maid.

In front of the villagers who were watching the commotion, Tang Yuerao ordered, "Manager Zhang, have someone drag that family over here and make them kowtow and apologize to me in public. It's only natural that I would beat to death a petty scoundrel who dared to stop my carriage."

Today, Steward Zhang specially brought twenty strong and sturdy guards to Lotus Village, all for the purpose of humiliating Su Qianqian and regaining his lost face.

Manager Zhang thought this would be very easy. "Don't worry, Miss, I will make them kneel down and apologize to you in public."

When the eldest daughter-in-law heard that something had happened at the village entrance, and that Fang Tongsheng's fiancée was going to humiliate the third wife, she thought it was wonderful.

She quickly shouted into the courtyard, "Hurry up! The third branch of the family is in big trouble! They've offended the officials and are going to be beaten to death! We need to hurry and see what's going on, or we won't be able to see anything!"

A group of people from the Su family rushed out, smiling. Even Old Master Su came out, holding his pipe and posing as if he were doing something important.

Only the old lady, with a broken leg and unable to move, clung to the window and shouted, "You unfilial children, leaving your old mother alone at home!"

She really wanted to see the third wife's misfortune, but no one carried her there, and the old lady was so angry that she almost smashed the wooden bed she was sitting on.

Everyone thought that the third branch of the Su family was going to be in big trouble.

After an incense stick had burned, it was Steward Zhang and twenty strong guards who knelt down.

Tang Yuerao also had a clear handprint on her face.

Manager Zhang knelt on the ground, his heart filled with shock and disbelief. He never expected that this little peasant girl would be so amazing!

He single-handedly took down more than twenty Tang family guards, and all twenty of them were skilled martial artists.

The little girl in front of me is truly terrifying.

I really shouldn't have come to this awful place with Miss Yue Rao today!

I should have checked the Chinese almanac before going out today!

Since drinking the spiritual spring water, Su Qianqian's strength has increased day by day.

She originally didn't want to take action, thinking that she should send the Gu family to the county town as soon as possible. Even staying in an inn would be safer than staying in the village. But these people actually rudely attacked her family and even said that her whole family should apologize to Fang Cheng and Tang Yuerao.

I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will retaliate.

Want her whole family to kneel down? Absolutely not.

"Tang Yurao, quickly tell your men to clear the way, or you'll regret it."

Tang Yuerao covered her face, extremely angry. As the niece of Magistrate Tang, no one in Qinghe County had ever dared to disrespect her.

But today, this girl actually threatened to hit her.

Tang Yuerao pointed at Su Qianqian and said, "Su, don't be too happy yet. I am Magistrate Tang's own niece. My uncle only has sons and no daughters. He treats me like his own daughter. When I get back, I will have my uncle send people to arrest you all and put you in jail."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Qianqian pushed her to the side of the road, causing her violet jade bracelet to fall to the ground and shatter into several pieces.

This is the most valuable piece of her jewelry.

Tang Yuerao was heartbroken.

Fearing that Miss Su might actually hit Miss Yue Rao, Manager Zhang quickly ordered his men to clear the way.

He was already bruised and battered; if he angered the girl again, he might be meeting his maker today.

But he himself is not important. If Miss Su cripples Miss Yue Rao, then the magistrate will really be furious!

"Everyone, listen up! Clear the way immediately!"

Upon hearing Steward Zhang's order, the guards quickly moved to the side of the road, making way for them.

At this moment, Old Master Su stepped forward with an upright expression, pointed at Su Bing and said, "Third brother, how could you instigate Qian'er to hit the county magistrate's men? Hurry up and kneel down to apologize."

Previously, when the third branch of the family was about to be bullied, Old Master Su didn't say a word, but now he's jumping out.

Aunt Li gave a wink to the young men, and together they pushed Grandpa Su aside.

I hate this pretentious old man, Mr. Su.

The eldest daughter-in-law stood with Grandpa Su. The white cloth covering her wound had been squeezed off her head, and she had lost one of her shoes. She was being laughed at by the village children.

"Shame on you, not wearing shoes."

The eldest son's wife was extremely upset. She had come to see the third wife make a fool of herself, but instead, she was the one being laughed at.

She looked at the twenty-odd people kneeling on the ground, trembling. It was clear that these people were terrified of Qian Yatou.

Qian's strength is terrifying! The eldest daughter-in-law was so scared that her legs went weak.

Sun watched helplessly as her future daughter-in-law's carriage entered the village, and then watched helplessly as the carriage slunk away.

Even her son left to comfort Tang Yuerao, and she didn't get to say a single word to her own son.

Good heavens, what happened to our plan to return to the village and show off our power? How did it turn out like this?

It's all Su Qianqian's fault!

Ever since that girl started to rebel, the Fang family has had a string of misfortunes.

You brat, why don't you just live your life as a coward? Why do you have to wake up and rebel?

She wanted to go up and curse Su Qianqian, but when she thought about how badly the twenty guards brought by the Tang family had been beaten, she realized that she, a woman, could not withstand such a beating, so she gave up.

But that brat won't get away with it either. She's offended the magistrate's niece, and he'll definitely send people over to interrogate her. Just wait and see that brat get thrown into jail.

Sun deliberately said to Gu, who looked worried, "Your Qianqian is really bold. She even dared to hit the magistrate's own niece. Just wait to go to jail."

As a woman, Gu had never dealt with the government before, and she was very afraid that her daughter would really be arrested by the county magistrate's men.

She quickly said, "I was the one who hit him; it has nothing to do with my Qianqian."

Aunt Li glared at Fang Shi and comforted Gu Shi, saying, "Don't be afraid, Su Bing's wife. The villagers can all testify that it was Fang Cheng's wife who started the trouble. Even if it's the county magistrate, he can't just take lives and kill us indiscriminately."

Su Qianqian knew that Su Bing and Gu Shi were both honest people and very timid, so she quickly changed the subject, "Mom, didn't you say you missed Uncle's family? Let's hurry to the county town."

"Don't worry, Mother. I know Miss Meng. The Meng family is very powerful. The county magistrate wouldn't dare to lay a hand on our family."

Gu was simple-minded and easily appeased, and quickly put the matter out of her mind.

The mule cart continued on its way.

Gu hadn't been to the county town for many years. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside the window, she was overwhelmed with emotion, and her eyes reddened.

She owed her family too much and should have gone back to visit them long ago, but before the family was divided, Old Madam Su would never allow her to go.

Su Qianqian retains the original owner's memories and knows that Gu's maternal family treated her family very well.

When the original owner was 10 years old, she fell seriously ill with a persistent high fever. The barefoot doctor couldn't cure her and told her to go to the county clinic.

Grandma Su was unwilling to spend money to treat the original owner of the body, but the Gu family sent eight taels of silver, and Su Bing and his wife used the money to take the original owner to the county clinic and finally he was cured.

Later I learned that the eight taels of silver were the money my cousin Gu Ying received for selling herself into servitude.

The Gu family's restaurant went bankrupt many years ago, and I heard that it was still heavily in debt. So, in order to save her, her cousin sold herself into servitude to a wealthy family.

Such a loyal and righteous cousin is truly rare!

Although this favor was owed by the original owner, she now occupies the original owner's body and should repay this debt on behalf of the original owner.

I'll ask my uncle where my cousin was sold, and I'll have to spend money to redeem her.

Su Bing's eyes welled up with tears as he recalled the past, and he wiped them away with his gray sleeve.

Over the years, he has been blaming himself, feeling that he was too useless and had dragged his brother-in-law down with him.

These days, as he fights against the oppression of the old house alongside his daughter, he realizes how weak and incompetent he used to be.

Su Bing said to the children, "Let's give all the money in the house to your uncle first. The most important thing is to redeem your cousin from her servitude. This is something our family owes your cousin. We can postpone the matter of Ping An getting his leg checked later."

Su Ping'an nodded: "Dad, my leg isn't in a hurry."

He's waited so many years for his leg, he doesn't care about a little while longer.
