A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Liu Kerong was, after all, a woman, and given Ate's heavy hand, she had taken a hard fall. Blood was coming from the corner of her mouth, and she was dizzy and seeing many stars.

Knowing that she would surely die if Art continued to hit her, she quickly tugged at Art's sleeve and begged for mercy:

"Special instructor, spare me! This is what Miss Yiran said. She said you ran away with Meijiu."

"You're talking nonsense."

Yiran, who had been hiding in the crowd, suddenly jumped out, her cheeks flushed.

Everyone knows how formidable Art is. He has some martial arts skills and is incredibly strong. It's like he could kill a bull with a single punch, let alone this frail woman.

He still understood this principle and would never allow Liu Kerong to pin the blame on him.

After speaking, she looked around and found that everyone was looking at her. Some were surprised, some couldn't believe it, some shook their heads repeatedly, and some were skeptical, but no one stood up to speak for her.

If Liu Kerong was pitiful, at least she had a man, Wen Deren, to protect her. But now she was all alone. She was instantly terrified, her body trembling, and her eyes darted away as she looked at At.

"It's you, you jinx!"

Thinking about how she used to follow Agu, and then ran to Young Master Wang's side to act pitiful and ask for protection, and even confronted Wen Meijiu, Ate wanted nothing more than to step forward and strangle her.

With a flick of his wrist, he tossed Liu Kerong aside and pounced straight on Yiran.

Yiran turned around and faced Old Li, who was sitting on the carriage shaft. Young Master Li was Old Li's nephew, and Yiran felt that at the very least, Old Li should protect him for Young Master Li's sake.

With this uncertainty in mind, she jumped behind Lao Li and begged him to plead for her.

Old Li was also very surprised by Yi Ran's behavior, and turned to her seriously, asking, "Is everything she said true?"

She still lives a life of luxury and is simple-minded, at most a little unruly. How could she come up with such a vicious idea that would ruin someone's reputation?

Still focused on self-preservation, and without time to think further, his eyes fixed on the menacing At, he shook his head vigorously, whispering rapidly:

"No, I didn't. Since she can spread rumors about fine wine, she can also spread rumors about me. Uncle, please, for the sake of Young Master Li, you must save me."

Before she could finish speaking, tears were already streaming down her face, her complexion was deathly pale, and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Doctor Li, please don't favor her just because of Young Master Li. She looks so gentle and weak, but I never expected her to be so vicious. Today, I will definitely get justice for Meijiu."

When Art caught up with Lao Li, he hesitated to attack immediately because of Wen Meijiu's friendship with Lao Li, but instead put on a show of force to scare him.

Old Li has seen it all, and he certainly wouldn't back down just because of A'te's two words. Even if Young Master Wang wasn't around, he wouldn't let anyone harm Yi Ran in the slightest.

"Coach, the matter hasn't been clarified yet. How can you draw conclusions so easily based on just one sentence from a shrew?"

Old Li's favoritism remained unchanged, which greatly displeased Wen Meijiu's family and Ate.

"Why don't you go and interrogate her yourself? Are you trying to pretend to be old and blind just because she's young and pretty?"

Art believed she could still pull it off. Others might not know what she was like, but he could see it clearly. She didn't want Wen Meijiu to have a good reputation.

Besides, Liu Kerong was so scared that she wouldn't dare to talk nonsense in front of him unless she didn't want to live anymore.

"Miss Yiran, I trusted you so much, you can't do this to me!"

Liu Kerong finally got a chance to catch her breath. When she realized something was wrong, she quickly got up and tried to defend herself. Her voice was filled with sorrow and a hint of shrillness.

Old Li seemed to be deep in thought, and stared at Yi Ran, who was hiding behind him, for a long while.

He still knew he was in the wrong. Although he had spoken so confidently just now, he had been forced into a corner. Now, being stared at by Old Li like this, he felt extremely guilty, and soon his eyelashes drooped slightly.

Old Li thought for a while, then looked up, glanced around, and turned to his father lying in the car, speaking slowly and deliberately:

"This matter concerns fine wine. Let's wait for the wine to return."

Fine wine is always resourceful and clever; it would never wrong an innocent person, nor would it let a bad person go unpunished.

"Everything will wait until she returns and the matter is clarified. Whether to kill or beat her is entirely up to her. What does Mr. Wen think?"

Old Li first praised Wen Meijiu sincerely in front of everyone, and then passed the initiative to Wen Enjiu, who was not present. Given his usual relationship with Wen Meijiu's family, no one really could say anything.

Especially the mother, who knew very well that the father's leg would still depend on Old Li's medical skills in the future. If she made a rash decision at this time and offended Old Li, would it harm her husband?

After so many days, the mother also felt that her daughter had grown a lot, and her knowledge and perspective on people and things were far superior to those of the couple.

It would indeed be more appropriate and prudent for her to make the decision, especially since none of these "suspects" can escape. Giving Old Li face for now is not out of the question.

"This……"

Although the father was somewhat troubled, after thinking it over, he was still a little angry. He thought that his daughter's happiness and reputation were more important than anything else. Even if Old Li pleaded for her, he still wanted to interrogate Yiran himself.

"No..." Before his father could finish speaking, his mother, who knew him best, stepped forward and interrupted him.

"It's alright, it's indeed more appropriate to let fine wine decide this matter."

Mother moved to face Father, blocking his view of the conversation between Father and Old Li.

Father suddenly became angry, reached out and pulled Mother away, saying with great displeasure:

"When men are talking business, what right do you, a woman, have to speak?"

Father had never treated Mother like this before. Mother was heartbroken and turned away to wipe her tears.

Seeing his parents arguing about Yiran, Ate felt bad too. Then he saw the instigator hiding behind Lao Li and got angry.

Old Li's favoritism towards her was within Ate's expectations, but Ate couldn't understand his mother's behavior. Since his father had already embarrassed his mother because of this matter, he might as well play the bad guy.

"Come out here."

Before Lao Li could react, Art reached over Lao Li's shoulder, grabbed the clothes on his shoulder, and forcibly dragged him out from inside the cart shaft.

"Dr. Li, save me!"

Just as the shouts continued, Young Master Wang returned, bursting through the crowd and yelling at Art:

"what are you doing?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Art felt a jolt run down his spine. Of all times to come back, why did he have to come back now? What a disappointment.

However, a sly smile quickly crept onto Art's lips; Wen Meijiu should be back soon too.
