Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the raggedly dressed Qin Ziqian not far away.

As soon as Jiang Nianwei saw him, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. Why would he appear here at this time?

Normally, Jiang Lanxu would assign people to keep an eye on him and make him do the hardest and most tiring work to wear down his will and torture his body.

Today is her wedding day, and the people guarding Qin Ziqian have been lax because of drinking.

He originally wanted to escape from the ferry, but he didn't expect that there were people guarding there, so he had to turn back.

Unexpectedly, I saw someone getting married. I secretly took a closer look and found that it was Jiang Nianwei's family.

Their whole family suffered, but Jiang Nianwei was marrying another man. At this moment, the anger in his heart had reached its peak.

Without caring about the people who came to stop him, Qin Ziqian rushed into the crowd and shouted to Ah Zhao who was not far away: "I really sympathize with you. You are willing to marry a woman who even I despise. Do you know that she is cruel and ruthless, a vicious and extremely stinking bitch? Do you know how many men have insulted her on the road to exile? She is just a slutty bitch!"

These words caused the people around to talk about it, "Miss Jiang is not that kind of person."

"He is just talking nonsense! This man has always liked to spread rumors."

Someone waved his hand impatiently, "Quickly send him away, don't let him disturb the festive atmosphere."

Qin Ziqian's tone became more and more tense, "Why? Everything I said is true, I saw it with my own eyes! Jiang Nianwei, I exposed your shameful behavior to the public, are you angry and embarrassed?"

"Look at your so-called husband. His face looks so ugly! Hahaha."

Jiang Nianwei just looked at the helpless and furious Qin Ziqian with cold eyes. When she was about to step forward, she was blocked by A Zhao.

Ah Zhao said calmly, "Don't let this affect your mood. Just leave it to me."

Several villagers were about to drive Qin Ziqian away, but Ah Zhao stopped them and said, "Wait a minute, let him stay."

Qin Ziqian had a smug sneer on his face. "Do you want to know more about the ugly face of that vicious woman? I can tell you that she once stayed with a police officer for several hours..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao punched him hard in the face, catching him off guard and causing him to stumble back.

"This punch is for you who bullied Sanniang. You are blind and heartless!"

Without waiting for Qin Ziqian to react, Ah Zhao threw another punch, "This punch is to punish you for confusing right and wrong and confusing the public!"

A look of pain appeared on Qin Ziqian's face, but A Zhao's attack did not stop.

He clenched his fist and swung it out again, "This punch is for those loyal people who were framed by you. What you did is intolerable to heaven!"

Qin Ziqian wanted to resist, but he was powerless to defend himself against Ah Zhao's fist. He knocked out several teeth in his mouth and spat out blood, still muttering, "Well, Jiang Nianwei, you are so good! I didn't expect you to find such a loyal dog to deal with me! To insult me!"

Ah Zhao kicked him out, and Qin Ziqian fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if his whole body was falling apart.

"I am willing to be her dog! But you are worse than a beast!"

The dirty words that came out of Qin Ziqian's mouth did not affect Ah Zhao at all, and even made him more determined.

After being beaten half to death, Qin Ziqian lost consciousness and was dragged away.

Ah Zhao shouted with a calm expression, "I'm really sorry for polluting the ears of the villagers by holding a wedding today, but what that man said is all nonsense. You also know how much Sanniang has contributed to the village. She is definitely not the kind of person he said she was."

"We know very well how Miss Jiang treats us. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be able to make any money!"

"Yes, Miss Jiang taught us skills and gave us enough food to eat."

"Yes, otherwise my child wouldn't be able to go to school. The Jiang family has done us a great favor!"

The villagers have their own definition of right and wrong, which will not be influenced by a few words.

"In that case, please relax, return to your seats, and enjoy the delicious food. Don't let a trivial matter disrupt this precious time."

He then lightly moved to Jiang Nianwei's side and calmly faced the toasts from the crowd.

Even Jiang Lanxu felt inferior to him. He didn't expect A Zhao to be neither humble nor arrogant. He handled the situation very properly and did not show the slightest bit of unhappiness.

"Mom's vision is indeed unique."

Jing Qiudie's heart was in her throat just now, but now she is finally relieved. "I chose your wife for you because I can see a person's sincerity. What I regretted most was not trying my best to stop Nianwei from marrying Qin Ziqian. Now that I have met the right person, I will definitely try my best to keep him. This has proved that my choice was correct."

Jiang Yan also nodded, "I am very satisfied with this son-in-law."

"You were against it at first, but now you say you are satisfied. If I hadn't advised you, you would have missed such a good son-in-law."

……

Only after all the guests had left and night had fallen did Ah Zhao quietly step into the new house which had already been decorated with festive atmosphere.

Jiang Nianwei had been sitting at the table waiting for him for a long time, "A Zhao, thank you for protecting me like this today."

Ah Zhao raised his lips slightly, "You and I will be husband and wife in the future, I will naturally stand by you and protect you."

Jiang Nianwei twisted the plump longan with her fingertips, and slowly peeled it off in her hands. "Do you really not believe what Qin Ziqian said? What if... what he said is true?"

"I don't believe what he said, and even if it's true, I don't care."

Jiang Nianwei lowered her head and chuckled. He was right. The two of them were only engaged in name only. But even so, she was grateful that Ah Zhao could handle it all so calmly.

It's just that she misunderstood what A Zhao meant.

Ah Zhao wanted to speak up and make it clear. What he wanted to express was that his feelings for a person would not change because of her past experiences.

Even if she had encountered something terrible, it must have been because she had her own unspeakable difficulties, and he just felt heartbroken.

At this moment, the only light in the room was the flickering light of the red candles.

Ah Zhao took out the bedding from the cabinet and spread it on the floor. "I will sleep here from now on, and you sleep on the bed. I won't affect you, so you don't need to be nervous."

"I'm not nervous, I just haven't given you acupuncture treatment today."

Jiang Nianwei took out the acupuncture bag and the silver needles, "In order to get better as soon as possible, you can't miss a day..."

Ah Zhao saw that her outfit today was so bright, and she looked completely different from when she was without makeup, and she looked a little more gorgeous.

His eyes glanced at the red hairpin on her head again, and he felt a strange sense of tension in his chest.

Jiang Nianwei was filled with emotion. If the two were a real couple, she would be ecstatic and extremely moved.

However, having experienced a failed marriage, she always had an inexplicable fear of getting married.

So even in modern times, Jiang Nianwei has no boyfriend and has never been married. She just has a few good friends, and they often go out for dinner and travel occasionally.

Among them was a particularly good friend - Xia Zhuo. The two were high school classmates. Later, Xia Zhuo was admitted to the National University of Defense Technology and became a top student majoring in weapons systems. After graduating with a doctorate, he worked in the confidentiality department.

This was Jiang Nianwei's best friend whom she cared about the most in modern times. No one knew how she was doing in modern times, and whether she could make other friends with her introverted personality.

I'm afraid that Xia Zhuo would handle her funeral affairs in modern times. If I die, she will be very sad.

Jiang Nianwei shook her head, recovered from her chaotic thoughts, and continued to give acupuncture to A Zhao.

Until there was a rapid knock on the door, Jiang Lanxu shouted vigilantly, "Who's outside?"

A gentle voice sounded outside the door, "Is that my cousin? I'm Jing Zhuo!"

Jiang Lanxu then realized that this was his aunt's son whom he had not seen for many years, and then he opened the door.

Jing Zhuo was handsome and smiling, holding many gifts in his hands. "I went through so much hardship to get to this island!"

Jing Qiudie and Jiang Yan hurried over upon hearing the sound. When Jing Qiudie's eyes met the dusty Jing Zhuo, an indescribable sadness welled up in her heart.

Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was trembling slightly: "Zhuo'er, you...you are finally here. Auntie feels guilty, sorry for you, and sorry for your poor mother."

"Aunt, it's not your fault."

Jing Qiudie held Jing Zhuo's hand tightly, tears bursting down her cheeks instantly, her voice choking with sobs: "Look at me, I'm so out of control on such a happy day."

As she spoke, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, trying to calm herself down.

Jing Zhuo looked around, his eyes fell on the festive decorations, and he seemed to understand something in his mind.

He frowned slightly, with a hint of concern in his tone: "Nianwei...where is she now?"

"Your cousin got married today and just went to bed."

At this moment, Jiang Nianwei had already opened the curtain. When she saw Jing Zhuo, she was a little surprised, "Cousin? How did you find this place?"

As soon as Jing Zhuo saw Jiang Nianwei, he became excited, but tried hard to control his emotions, "Nianwei... Nianwei, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you doing well here? It must be hard to be in exile all the way?"

However, Jiang Nianwei had already sensed that something was wrong with him. She had only met her cousin a few times and they did not have any deep feelings for each other.

But when Jing Zhuo saw her, he was so enthusiastic that she couldn't resist. Even Jing Qiudie couldn't stand it anymore and coughed a few times, "Ahem, Zhuo'er, your cousin is already married."

Jing Zhuo seemed not to care and continued to stare at Jiang Nianwei. Even Ah Zhao sensed something was wrong.

Could this cousin who suddenly appeared be one of the rivals who had ill intentions towards Jiang Nianwei?

Jiang Nianwei took a few steps back and kept her distance.

Jing Zhuo finally woke up from his thoughts and said with a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, I was too excited and didn't consider your feelings. It's just that I couldn't contain my joy when I saw my uncle and aunt, so I lost my manners."

"My cousin has come from afar. I'll have someone clean up the house. You can stay here. It's getting late. We can discuss anything tomorrow."

"Okay, let's discuss it tomorrow."

Although he responded, his eyes never left Jiang Nianwei.

Because of nervousness, I couldn't help rubbing my hands.

This subtle movement reminded Jiang Nianwei of another person, but how could there be so many coincidences in this world? She shook her head gently, trying to dispel this sudden thought.

Jiang Nianwei hadn't slept all night. She got up and washed up as usual, but found that there was another person in the room.

Ah Zhao also tossed and turned all night without sleeping, but this time it was not because of a headache, but because of his inner tension.

Aunt Liu had already prepared red bean soup for the two of them. When she saw them coming out, she said a few words of blessing, "Drink this soup quickly! May you be sweet and have a baby soon!"

Ah Zhao's ears turned red, and he drank the lotus seed soup as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Nianwei was absent-minded until she came to the yard and saw her cousin talking to her mother in the yard.

"I've been worried about your mother. I wonder how she's doing?"

Jing Zhuo shook his head. "In the past few months, I have tried to get in touch with her, but I have never succeeded. I originally planned to go back to visit her in person, but was chased by murderers. I luckily escaped. I happened to hear that you were in Yazhou, so I rushed here without stopping."

Thinking of this, Jing Qiudie was furious, "It was all because of that beast who deceived your mother. I only regret that I don't have the ability to protect you."

Jing Zhuo sighed helplessly, "Aunt, don't feel guilty. I am also trying to find a way to regain the Jing family's assets, but at the moment... the situation is too difficult."

At this moment, he saw Jiang Nianwei's figure. Jing Zhuo stood up excitedly again, as if he had a thousand words to say to her, but they lingered on his lips and he couldn't say them easily.

Jing Qiudie looked at Jing Zhuo's reaction and couldn't help but sigh.

She patted Jing Zhuo's shoulder gently, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "Zhuo'er, your cousin has found a good home now, you should be happy for her. I will keep an eye out for other suitable women for you in the future, so please don't have any delusional thoughts about her anymore."

He had planned everything perfectly, but he never expected that his nephew would fall in love with Nianwei. However, he was still a step too late. Although they met by chance, they were ultimately unable to be together and had to give up.

Jing Zhuo looked confused, "Aunt, you misunderstood. I don't have any romantic feelings for my cousin."

"Then I'll feel relieved."

Jing Zhuo tried to find an opportunity many times, but he was unable to get close to Jiang Nianwei. In desperation, he could only shout to Jiang Nianwei from a distance: "Do you know the equation for the combustion of iron in oxygen?"

Jiang Nianwei's body seemed to be frozen for a moment. She turned around suddenly, wondering if this cousin had also traveled from modern times.

Seeing her reaction, Jing Zhuo continued to probe: "Do you know the solution to a quadratic equation? What is the relationship between the roots and coefficients?"

"When you were in high school, your favorite food was strawberry-flavored yogurt and teriyaki-flavored rice balls, and your favorite dish was pork ribs in plum sauce!"

Jiang Nianwei's heart was beating wildly, and she stared at him in disbelief: "Could it be that you are, you are..."
