Before he even stepped through the threshold, he heard Zhou Junyi's gentle yet cunning voice echoing in the hall:

"Xiaoping, from now on you will be the mistress of this house. They are all your sisters, you can beat and scold them as you please. From now on, I will treat you twice as well."

Ren Xiaoping's voice then rang out, with a hint of shyness and determination:

"Well, Zhou Lang, I know you treat me the best. When my brother-in-law comes out, I will ask him to help you untie your spiritual veins. You have been wronged."

Hearing this, an indescribable pain quietly spread deep in Zhou Junyi's heart.

He thought to himself: This Li Zimo hasn't shown up for more than two hours. He must be obsessed with that fair and tender girl!

Obviously, the girl wearing the veil must be a top-notch beauty.

When Zhou Junyi thought about the treatment that the girl might suffer, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a needle, and the pain was unbearable.

He knew very well that the girl was originally his, the one he had carefully planned and put so much effort into getting.

However, now that he had to watch her fall into the hands of others, how could Zhou Junyi not feel heartbroken?

So Zhou Junyi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He secretly swore that as long as he could get away today, he would contact Tianxianglou to capture Ren Xiaoping and his brother-in-law Li Zimo, and he would make Li Zimo pay the price for what he did today.

And that girl doesn't look too smart, so she must be in his pocket. He can just delay it a bit, and when he gets tired of playing with her, he will notify Master Zhao to put her, the fugitive, into jail.

But on the surface, he remained calm and restrained, not letting his inner emotions leak out in the slightest.

He continued, his voice still tinged with tears:

"Xiao Ping, I also want to thank my brother-in-law for his bravery in rescuing you from the tiger's den, otherwise I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.

As he spoke, tears welled up in Zhou Junyi's eyes, and those tears seemed to carry all his grievances and unwillingness.

Ren Xiaoping saw this and reached out her hand distressedly. She gently wiped away the tears from Zhou Junyi's eyes with a handkerchief embroidered with delicate patterns and comforted him gently:

"Zhou Lang, it's all in the past. I'm fine now. Don't feel guilty anymore. I understand your feelings."

At this moment, Li Zimo gently pushed open the door of the hall, and his eyes fell on Ren Xiaoping and Zhou Junyi.

Especially when he saw Ren Xiaoping's tearful eyes and the scene where she was wiping Zhou Junyi's tears attentively, his brows couldn't help but frown.

Ying'er heard the door open and immediately ran over. She hugged Li Zimo's arm and said with a hint of complaint and sadness:

"Sir, it turns out you're still willing to come out."

Li Zimo smiled awkwardly, knowing in his heart why Ying'er had such a reaction.

He turned to look at Ren Xiaoping, only to see that Ren Xiaoping was also turning to look at him with joy and anticipation on her face.

"Brother-in-law, you finally came out."

Ren Xiaoping said, then changed the subject.

"Hurry up and help Zhou Lang... oh no, Zhou Junyi unblock his spiritual veins. He hasn't moved for two hours, he must be in terrible pain."

When Li Zimo heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.

He glanced at Ren Xiaoping coldly and said:

"Xiaoping, have you forgotten what you said? Or do you need my help?"

Ren Xiaoping was frightened by Li Zimo's cold tone and her face turned pale. She hurriedly explained:

"No! Brother-in-law, don't kill him! Zhou Lang also has his own difficulties."

"His family owed several thousand spirit stones to loan sharks. When those ruthless creditors saw him return home, they forced him to pay back the money within three days, or they would kill his entire family."

"Zhou Lang himself isn't afraid of death, but he still has elderly parents and younger siblings. He can't let his family suffer, so he can only reluctantly mortgage me temporarily to pay off his debts."

"He originally agreed with Tianxianglou to redeem me within a month, but when he gathered enough spirit stones and came to Tianxianglou, they turned their backs on him and beat Zhou Lang up, insisting he pay 100,000 spirit stones before they would release me."

"Zhou Lang even spent half a year recovering from his injuries. He has also been working hard to raise spirit stones over the past few years just to rescue me."

"Brother-in-law, Zhou Lang is a really good person. Please don't kill him. I have already forgiven him, and he has already agreed to marry me and make me his legal wife."

Upon hearing this, Li Zimo frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes:

"Do you believe this?"

Ren Xiaoping replied eagerly:

"These are all facts, brother-in-law, why don't you believe it?"

Li Zimo turned to look at Ying'er, with a hint of blame in his tone:

"Ying'er, why don't you try to dissuade me from this?"

Ying'er showed a helpless look on her face and replied:

"Sir, I've tried my best to persuade her, but Miss Xiaoping...she insists on believing Zhou Junyi. After all, she is your sister-in-law, so it's not appropriate to interfere too much with her decision."

Hearing this, Li Zimo sighed even more deeply. He stared at Ren Xiaoping and said earnestly:

"Xiaoping, I warned you before not to be easily fooled by his sweet words, but why did you make the same mistake again? Have you truly forgotten the three years in Tianxianglou, the hard days of serving tea and water and washing underwear every day? Those days were not easy for you."

Before Li Zimo finished speaking, several of Zhou Junyi's wives and concubines standing around showed surprised expressions and turned their eyes to Ren Xiaoping.

Obviously, they didn't know that Ren Xiaoping had a past in Tianxianglou, which was a brothel!

Ren Xiaoping's face turned pale instantly, and she retorted:

"Brother-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? I've always been a clean virgin in Tianxiang Tower and have never lost my virginity to anyone. For Zhou Lang, I'm just doing some chores like serving tea and water. What's the big deal if I suffer a little?"

Seeing this, Zhou Junyi's eyes were full of heartache, and he said affectionately:

"Xiao Ping, you've suffered so much. Don't worry, I will treat you ten times better and a hundred times better in the future, and I won't let you suffer even a little bit."

However, Li Zimo glared at Zhou Junyi fiercely, and his eyes seemed to penetrate him.

Under this fierce gaze, Zhou Junyi was terrified and his body trembled involuntarily, but because his spiritual veins were blocked, the trembling was very small and no one else noticed.

Ren Xiaoping turned her head and looked at Zhou Junyi tenderly, her eyes full of affection:

"Zhou Lang, if I can help you, I'm willing to endure any hardship."

Zhou Junyi wanted to respond to Ren Xiaoping's affection, but under Li Zimo's sharp gaze, he didn't dare to speak again and could only bear the pressure silently.

Ren Xiaoping naturally noticed it, looked back at Li Zimo, and said angrily:

"Hmph, brother-in-law, why are you looking at Zhou Lang so fiercely? Why don't you quickly remove the seal on Zhou Lang's spiritual veins?"

Li Zimo looked at Ren Xiaoping coldly:

"How can you talk to your brother-in-law? You've forgotten the pain even after the wound has healed. He's coaxed you around with just a few words."

Ren Xiaoping was a little timid under Li Zimo's cold eyes, but she still mustered up the courage and retorted:

"I...I have my own judgment, so I didn't get fooled around."
