But Su Lan was stopped in her tracks by Wang Yizhi’s parents.

“Xiaoyu is our flesh and blood; you can’t take her away!” they protested.

Su Lan clutched her daughter tightly. “Wang Yizhi has agreed to let me take Xiaoyu with me!”

Wang Yizhi was about to interject, but the village chief intervened first. “Yizhi, we can’t let the Wang Family be abandoned like this!”

The village chief was subtly hinting to Wang Yizhi that he should keep his daughter with the Wang Family to prevent her from reporting their actions to the authorities.

Unable to bear it any longer, Qin Zhenzhen rolled up Xiaoyu’s sleeves, revealing whip marks on her arms and feet.

“Are you going to keep Xiaoyu and continue to abuse her?” she confronted the villagers and the village chief.

The shocking sight left everyone in disbelief. How could such a young girl suffer such cruelty? Those who didn’t know better might think she was adopted.

Enraged, Su Lan turned her gaze towards Wang Yizhi. “Are you going to honor your promise?”

“If you insist on keeping our daughter, then I won’t leave. I’ll suffer and die right here at your Wang Family! I don’t believe that you’ll be able to lead a peaceful life even if I sacrifice my own!” she declared, on the verge of tearing up the divorce papers and throwing away the money.

Fearing the situation escalating further, Wang Yizhi flushed with panic and rushed to stop Su Lan. “Stop it! You can take our daughter with you!”

But Qin Zhenzhen had already restrained Su Lan’s hands and pushed Wang

Yizhi away. “Stay away from my sister, you beast!”

Qin Zhenzhen then tried to console Su Lan. “Sister, don’t be impulsive. We have a hundred ways to deal with them, and death is the last resort!”

Wang Yizhi, realizing he had no choice, assured Su Lan, “I agree to let you take our daughter away!”

With a cold glance at his family, he asserted, “I have the right to decide whether my daughter should stay or leave!”

His family had always relied on him for food and clothing, leaving him hesitant to challenge his own statement.

Unbeknownst to them, it was the village chief’s idea in the first place.

Wang Yizhi was fully aware of the village chief’s involvement, but this time, he refused to heed his counsel.

Having already come to an agreement with Su Lan, who promised not to cause any further trouble, he yearned for a peaceful existence.

The village chief appeared embarrassed, silently cursing – if they didn’t keep one hostage, they wouldn’t be able to exact revenge whenever they pleased.

Qin Zhenzhen and the others bid farewell to Wang Village.

As they left, the villagers couldn’t help but chatter amongst themselves, marveling at Qin Zhenzhen’s capabilities.

“I never imagined Qin Zhenzhen was so skilled!”

“Indeed! I thought her actions at the county office were just rumors. Now I see she’s braver than most men!”

“True, Wang Yizhi may be a Cultivated Talent, but he lost 100 liang due to her words!”

“But let’s not forget, Su Lan has been working hard for them all these years and didn’t get 100 liang for free.”

During their journey, they took turns carrying Xiaoyu, who seemed delighted whenever Qin Zhenzhen held her.

Su Bin approached Qin Zhenzhen to have a private conversation, seeking her advice on something important.

Noticing the unspoken exchange between the three siblings, Su Lan and Su Xiao quickened their pace.

Su Qing, in turn, turned to Qin Silong. “Brother Silong, I need to ask you something.”

He halted Qin Silong so he could look after his sister while they spoke in private.

With no one else around, Su Bin inquired quietly, “Do you really have evidence of what Wang Yizhi did in the prefecture?”

Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “I’m not entirely sure. I was bluffing him.. I never expected he would give me 100 liang!”
