Women dressed as men: powerful officials

After comforting Zhang Qingyu and Wen Shufang, Xu Yuan stood up.

She had no strength left in her body, but Xu Yuan was not afraid. The overwhelming hatred could sustain her after meeting Cheng Jie today, and could also sustain her to keep going.

"I think you are the one who is asking for a fight!"

Hearing the quarrel, Zhang Qingyu wanted to go out, but was held back by Wen Shufang, who shook her head to comfort her.

"This is a matter between the younger generation. Zhang Yue will not let Yuan'er suffer any loss. If the two of us go out, it will become a gang bullying of a child."

"But...well, let's just wait for Wenxian to come back." Zhang Qingyu felt uneasy, but he could only suppress it.

At the door, Xu Yuan's hand holding the bolt paused for a moment, and his fingers inadvertently brushed the scissors in his sleeve.

There are not many descendants in the Zhang family, and the younger generation only includes her and Zhang Yue.

Although the two are cousins, they grew up together and have a deep relationship and have never been separated from each other.

In his previous life, Zhang Yue limped from Sishui County to Shangjing City in order to give her a new dress.

On the day her female identity was exposed and she was thrown into jail, it was Zhang Yue who stood in front of her.

She still remembered Zhang Yue saying, "I don't care whether she is a man or a woman. If she is a man, she is my brother, and if she is a woman, she is my sister. If you want to catch her, you have to step over me first."

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes to hide the hatred in his eyes, and when he looked up, his face was calm and composed.

She knew that once she opened this door, everything would change.

Because today is the day when Cheng Jie comes to humiliate her.

Later, she went to report to the police, but was beaten instead. Zhang Yue also became lame in one leg because of her...

This time, she will not let the tragedy happen again.

As the door opened, two young men outside the yard turned around and responded.

Cheng Jie is seventeen years old this year, only two years older than her. He has a handsome face, but because he grew up in the desert, his skin is dark and he looks a bit burly.

Zhang Yue is different. Although he is the same age as Cheng Jie, he is not as tall as Cheng Jie. Compared with Cheng Jie, he looks quite weak.

But even such a weak person can stand in front of her bravely and fearlessly.

"Xuyuan, what are you doing out here? Go back." Zhang Yue hurriedly stood in front of Xuyuan, as if Cheng Jie was a monster.

"Brother, this is between me and Cheng Jie, go feed the horses."

"That's right, this is a matter between me and Xuyuan, what does it have to do with you?"

Cheng Jie sneered, folded his hands in front of his chest, walked in arrogance, and said like alms: "Xuyuan, come in, I have something to say."

Zhang Yue's cheeks were tense with anger, and he was about to rush forward with clenched fists, but Xu Yuan was faster and stood in front of him.

"Brother, listen to me."

Xu Yuan held Zhang Yue, and although his tone was light, it was full of endless power: "You will not get any benefit from this."

"But..." Zhang Yue had the words on his lips but he didn't have time to finish them.

Because Xu Yuan had already taken a step and followed Cheng Jie in.

Zhang Yue wanted to follow in, but the horse raised its hooves disobediently.

*

In the guest room, Zhang Qingyu poured two glasses of water.

Seeing Cheng Jie and Xu Yuan coming in one after another, she wanted to say something, but then she remembered what Wen Shufang had told her and swallowed it back.

When passing by the wishing moment, Zhang Qingyu still worriedly said: "Your brother has gone to tie up the horse, wait for your brother to come and then talk to Cheng Jie properly, there is no gap between classmates."

Xuyuan nodded.

After Zhang Qingyu left, Xu Yuan turned back and bolted the door. As soon as she turned back, a pair of hands attacked her neck.

Before she could resist, Cheng Jie had already grabbed her neck and pressed her against the door.

The boy's smile was slightly cruel.

Xu Yuan was not afraid, he just looked up at him, his tone was even calmer: "Cheng Jie, what do you want to do? Kill someone?"

Being stared at by Xu Yuan, Cheng Jie suddenly felt a creepy feeling, so he secretly reminded himself that he was just a little kid who hadn't even grown all his hair yet, how could he be so creepy.

"Make a wish, what do you think I want to do? You are so smart, you should be able to guess it."

With enough momentum, Cheng Jie gently patted Xu Yuan's cheek and said almsgivingly: "You are lucky that you didn't drown that day, but if you don't know what's good for you, you won't be so lucky next time."

Speaking of this, Cheng Jie was so angry that his teeth were itching.

He originally wanted to tease Xuyuan, but he didn't expect that Xuyuan was so weak. After struggling in the water twice, he became motionless.

Even though he had a bad temper, he had never killed anyone. He hurried home and happened to meet his father coming back.

In a panic, he said no one was killed. As a result, when his father heard this, he chased him with a stick and beat him for the whole morning.

Not only that, he was forced to come and see whether Xu Yuan was dead. If not, he would warn Xu Yuan not to report to the police.

To be honest, Xu Yuan looked so cowardly that he didn't seem like someone who would dare to report to the authorities. Besides, his Cheng family was wealthy and powerful, and Cheng's hometown was the place with good governance. Even if Xu Yuan reported to the authorities, the matter could be settled.

However, Cheng Jie had never seen his father so angry before, so he could only make this trip reluctantly.

Unlike Cheng Jie's rage, Xu Yuan was exceptionally calm and rational.

Cheng Jie didn't dare to kill her.

In the past, she was extremely afraid of Cheng Jie. When he was threatened by being strangled by the neck, she thought that Cheng Jie really wanted to kill her, so she went to the police to seek asylum.

Thinking about it now, she couldn't help but feel that she was innocent.

Cheng Jie is just a seventeen-year-old boy, how could he dare to kill anyone?

At most, he is just relying on the power of the Cheng family to bully others.

Xu Yuan raised his eyes, a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his voice was extremely cold.

"Cheng Jie, I thought you would sing this play a little longer?"

"You don't deserve it." Cheng Jie gritted his teeth, revealing his ferocious look, "I'm warning you, if you dare to tell anyone about falling into the water, I'll kill you."

"Then try it out. Will you strangle me to death first, or will I stab you to death first?"

Xu Yuan chuckled. The rusty pair of scissors at her waist was already pointed at Cheng Jie's abdomen.

As long as she exerts a little force, she can get it in.

Xu Yuan knew exactly why Cheng Jie came here.

Or rather, she was not clear before, but now, she is extremely clear.

Cheng Jie kidnapped her and had her thrown into the lake.

The old man of the Cheng family didn't want to report the matter to the county magistrate's office, so he pretended to let Cheng Jie come to visit her. In fact, he wanted Cheng Jie to warn her not to report to the police.

Why can’t I report it to the police?

Of course, it was not because she was afraid that the Cheng family would be involved in a murder lawsuit, but because of the young woman she saw in the carriage that day.

The smile in Xuyuan's eyes deepened, as if silently saying: I want to kill you.

As soon as Cheng Jie exerted force on his hand, the knife went deeper into his abdomen. He could only stop, pretending to be calm, and shouted fearlessly: "You dare!"

Xu Yuan saw through Cheng Jie's fear and sneered, "If you dare to do it, why shouldn't I dare to do it?"

After saying this, Xu Yuan's voice turned completely cold: "Let go!"
