After Wang Fangping mentioned the red warts, Ning Long sighed and asked, "She said she doesn't know me, do you believe her?"

Wang Fangping felt as if he had swallowed a fly, unable to spit it out or swallow it. He glared at He Shiyun, and after holding it in for a long time, he blurted out, "You dare to lie to me?"

A slap landed, and He Shiyun covered her face with both hands and started crying.

The lie fell apart on its own; this was the unanimous judgment of hundreds of guests.

Just as Wang Fangping was slapping the eldest daughter of the He family, Wang Xuecheng walked up to the He family and coldly asked, "What about the people who told you to break off the engagement?"

Old Man He knew things were going badly. He glared at his children and bowed to Wang Xuecheng, saying, "This is the He family's fault. I apologize to you."

"Apologize?" Wang Xuecheng glared angrily and said, "You think Ning Long is an orphan with no roots or backers? Do you think I don't know your wicked thoughts?"

After saying that, he sighed bitterly: "You have regarded my Wang family as tyrants who are capable of any crime and are omnipotent."

With a slap, Wang Xuecheng sent He Shiyun's father, He Dalong, flying, and said in a low voice, "Just yesterday at noon, my family's guardian, Xiao Kui, was almost killed by Ning Long's groom."

"what……?"

The He family was terrified when they heard this. Xiao Kui was a vicious man that even gods and ghosts avoided in Ruxuji. How could he have been beaten by the Ning family orphan's coachman?

Ning Long's character in Ruxu is that of a fallen and destitute orphan of the Ning family, who has only a little money and nothing else.

However, his old butler was skilled in martial arts, so ordinary people dared not cause him trouble.

This family is very low-key; people of some standing are unwilling to lower themselves to go against the Ning family.

Moreover, Ning Long's father-in-law, Fu Biao, was the county magistrate of Juchao County, and he still had some influence in Ruxu.

Wang Shaoping felt utterly humiliated and wished he could kill He Shiyun.

Miss He was unaware of how terribly wrong she was. This was a feudal society where women had no status.

Wang Fangping angrily cursed, "You've already slept with her, what are you pretending to be innocent in front of me for?"

With a loud thud, he kicked the woman who had been so affectionate not long ago away.

From a graceful swan to a clown in an instant, He Shiyun glared at Ning Long with intense hatred.

In her opinion, if Ning Long hadn't come, she would now be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family.

"Ning Long, why don't you just die...?"

With a roar, He Shiyun lunged forward in a flash.

With a clang, a soft sword was already an inch away from Ning Long's throat.

"what?"

He Shiyun's speed was terrifying; so fast that even Lu Zhusheng couldn't stop her in time, leaving the Southern King's guards dumbfounded.

Long Bin's figure swayed, and the person in front of the sword tip had disappeared. Just as He Shiyun was shocked, a strong wind suddenly passed by her left rear, and the sword in her hand was in someone else's hand, while she was sent flying towards the flower bed.

He fell down in the flowerbed with a thud and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Just as she struggled to get up, Ning Long's icy voice rang out.

"I'm only here to annul the engagement. I demand that the He family immediately return my betrothal gifts, plus interest. Otherwise, the He family will be destroyed!"

Long Bin had no intention of starting a fight today. Firstly, there was no need for it, and secondly, the He family was deceiving a dead man, which had nothing to do with him, who had transmigrated from another era.

Moreover, I have no interest in women who do not uphold traditional virtues.

However, He Shiyun actually said in public that she didn't know him, which made Long Bin very uncomfortable. He was determined to get revenge today!

Wang Fangping also resented He Shiyun, who had already slept with Ning Long, yet she had tricked him into spending money and effort on her.

However, Ning Long's public disruption of his own engagement party left him in an awkward position.

He hated He Shiyun, and he hated Ning Long even more.

He turned to look at the bodyguards and retainers standing behind his father and roared at them, "Are you all dead? Why aren't you throwing these troublemakers out of here?"

With a whoosh, dozens of servants rushed towards Ning Long.

Long Bin gave Lu Zhusheng a look, and Lu Zhusheng said softly, "I'll take care of protecting the young master. You guys deal with these bastards."

As soon as Lu Zhusheng finished speaking, more than a dozen young people in short clothes flew in from outside the wall.

boom!

Bang!

thump!

Ouch!

Within moments, all of the Wang family's servants and warriors collapsed, missing limbs.

"this……?"

Wang Fangping trembled with fright and ran to his father, saying, "Father, quickly let Hu and the others take action. Otherwise, the Wang family will lose face."

Several slaps were delivered, leaving Wang Fangping dizzy and disoriented.

"Dad, why did you hit me?"

Wang Xuecheng ignored his son and bowed to Long Bin, saying, "Although the Wang family was unaware of the situation, we have still been impolite. I, Wang Xuecheng, apologize to Young Master Ning and assure you that this engagement is null and void. Our Wang family will never marry such a woman."

With that, he kicked his son to his knees and said in a deep voice, "Apologize to Young Master Ning!"

"Dad, are you confused?" Wang Fangping was dumbfounded by his father's sudden change.

"If I'm confused, the entire Wang family will be wiped out!" Wang Xuecheng roared. "Apologize! Otherwise, get out of the Wang family!"

Although Wang Fangping was a playboy, he was very obedient to his father. Seeing his father so serious, he quickly knelt up and clasped his hands, saying, "Ninglong, Wang Fangping has acted recklessly in this matter. Today, in front of so many people, I apologize to you."

Long Bin felt very uncomfortable at this moment. He had come here with the intention of taking action against the Wang family, but he did not expect Wang Xuecheng to be able to bend and stretch.

There's an old saying: You can't hit a smiling face.

Wang Fangcheng has already humbled himself, and Long Bin intends to temporarily put this matter aside.

Moreover, a woman from one family is sought after by many families. It's not wrong for the Wang family to seek her hand in marriage; the mistake lies with the He family, who are despicable.

Long Bin said in a deep voice, "I never wanted any conflict with you. I only want the He family to break off the engagement and get the betrothal gifts back."

Old Man He felt very uncomfortable seeing that the Wang family was afraid of Ning Long.

Knowing how weak the Wang family is, I might as well let my granddaughter marry into the Ning family as a concubine.

If that were the case, the He family wouldn't have lost so much face.

There's no going back in life, so Mr. He could only swallow his pride and bear it.

"Grandson of the Ning family, we agree to return the betrothal gifts." Old Master He said to Ning Long, his face flushed, "Two days later, I will personally return the betrothal money to the Ning family. What do you think?"

Long Bin's face darkened as he said, "No! We must return it now. Moreover, based on private interest rates, the He family must give me a total of 3,660 taels of silver, including principal and interest, not a penny less."

Old Man He was startled by the data Ning Long presented, and quickly said with a fawning smile, "Ning family's eldest grandson..."

"Shut up!" Lu Zhusheng interrupted him angrily, "How dare you call my young master a grandson?"

"You?" Old He was stunned for a moment after being rebuked.

"What do you mean, 'his'?" Lu Zhusheng stomped his right foot, and with a loud bang, the bluestone slab on the ground shattered. What shocked people was not the broken bluestone slab, but the crack that opened up in the ground, which was several feet long and two feet wide.

Yeah?

Everyone, including the martial artists from the Wang and He families, was terrified and soaked in sweat.
