Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

Gouge out her eyes!

Zhongtian was stunned. Why would there be such an arrogant man who disregarded the law? Besides, his face was covered by a curtain, and Zhongtian couldn't see anything.

At this moment, Zhongtian also noticed Fang Shilian. Fang Shilian was standing behind the man, but the person in front was too conspicuous, so the person behind was somewhat ignored.

Fang Shilian clearly recognized Zhong Tian as well.

“My cousin…she…”

"I won't listen to any explanations, bring her here!" The man sat leisurely in the sedan chair, playing with his fingers, looking down at Zhong Tian.

Zhong Tian was furious, pointing at Xia Muning: "In broad daylight, is there no law anymore? What's your name?!" He knew who this person was, so it would be easier to hurl insults at her. Did she think she was some pushover?

Unexpectedly, the man who had been sitting casually in the sedan chair suddenly became furious, and those around him were stunned by his audacious behavior.

Nakata was puzzled. What was so strange about asking for a name? Isn't a name just something to be called?

Fang Shilian's face flushed red, and her body trembled slightly with anger. "Zhongtian, how could you ask a man's maiden name on the street? You're being a pervert!!"

Indecent assault?! Such a serious accusation left Zhong Tian completely stunned. Shouldn't a man's name be known to others? Then why did Xia Jin'an tell him his name?

Xia Muning trembled with anger as he sat in the sedan chair. His face turned red with rage, and he touched his burning cheek.

He only saw Nakata outside chatting and laughing with a group of men, using Aifurou's name, and assumed she was a philandering slut. He wanted to call her over and teach her a lesson, but who knew...

She was incredibly reckless, actually asking him his maiden name in the street. Only one's parents and close friends know their maiden name. Didn't she know that only two people who are truly in love can tell each other their names?

That's outrageous! That's outrageous!

He drew a whip from his waist. It was a small, thin whip made of cowhide, which he usually wore around his waist as decoration, but he would use it to beat this scoundrel who was acting like a hooligan in the street if something happened.

"Shishu, go and fetch our servants. I want to teach this scoundrel a lesson."

Zhong Tian then realized that she might have said something wrong. She had only been in this world for a few days and didn't know many of the taboos. Perhaps she had unintentionally violated one.

The slender whip pierced the wind and headed straight for Zhong Tian's face. Xia Muning thought that since she had no shame, he would slash her face.

Zhongtian quickly took the whip and struck his hand. It stung, and he must have bled. He raised his head and said fiercely, "I advise you not to push your luck!"

Xia Muning was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood. He wanted to pull out the whip forcefully, ready to strike her mouth hard, the one that dared to say anything.

Fang Shilian stood to the side, unsure of what to do.

Zhong Tian underestimated his strength. With a strong tug, Xia Muning on the sedan chair lost her balance and fell straight towards Zhong Tian.

Nakata originally wanted to kindly help him up so he wouldn't fall, but she changed her mind. If he fell on her, wouldn't that just confirm her crime of being a pervert?

So she pushed the somewhat bewildered Fang Shilian, and Xia Muning, who should have fallen on Zhong Tian, ​​fell on Fang Shilian instead.

Fang Shilian was pleasantly surprised and wanted to hug Xia Muning tightly, but Xia Muning quickly stood up straight.

The Xia family's servants also arrived. Three strong, middle-aged women in their thirties, carrying sticks, came menacingly towards Zhong Tian.

Xia Muning pointed at Zhong Tian: "Xia Yi, Xia Er, Xia San, grab this person! I want her dead!!"

"Yes!" the three responded and immediately surrounded and attacked Zhongtian.

This war seems inevitable!

Zhongtian rolled up his sleeves and threw left and right hooks, knocking the three men to the ground, where they howled in pain.

One force can overcome ten techniques!

Zhongtian didn't know any martial arts moves at all; she was just very strong. One punch from her would cause her enemy unbearable pain, leaving him lying on the ground unable to get up, making it difficult for him to launch another attack.

The Xia family's reinforcements should arrive in droves, so Zhongtian should know when to stop.

At some point, the veil over Xia Muning's head became slightly askew, exposing his face to Zhong Tian's view. The face hidden under the veil was indeed quite stunning, with better bone structure than many of today's top celebrities.

But a raging fire flashed in those beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to tear a piece of Nakata's flesh off.

Nakata had no sympathy for men of this era; she viciously raised her middle finger and said, "You! Just! Wait! For!" This was a serious feud!

After making a threat, Nakata turned and left!

Those around remained silent, not daring to make a sound. It was lively and entertaining, and they were quite satisfied with what they were seeing. However, not everyone could witness the spectacle of the eldest son of the Xia family.

Xia Muning straightened the veil above his head and instructed the two people behind him, "Shishu, Shiqin, you two handle this matter."

Yes!

They will record the names of everyone present, investigate their family backgrounds, and use coercion or bribery to ensure that this incident will be like a river flowing into the ocean, leaving no ripples.

Xia Muning propped her head up with her hand, her eyes lowered: "Fang Shilian, what's her name?"

"...Nakata."

"...She once killed a wild boar all by herself."

...

I didn't check the almanac before going out today, and I encountered some petty people. Zhongtian looked at his hand; the bleeding had stopped, but the surrounding skin was swollen and burning painful.

Zhongtian was still thinking about buying clothes for Xia Jin'an, but only the Weaver Girl Pavilion sold ready-made clothes. Helpless, he had to go to a fabric shop, which was full of fabric.

Nakata selected a bolt of sky-blue fabric, which cost two strings of cash—quite expensive. He paid and went home, then went to a general store to buy some daily necessities, such as lamp oil…

I returned home with bags and packages, the sun already high in the sky. Back in that dilapidated little house, the aroma of food filled the air.

Zhongtian put down the bags and went to find the source of the fragrance. Xia Jin'an, wearing an apron, was waiting for her.

What kind of food?

"Plain porridge."

As the saying goes, even a clever cook can't cook without rice, but Xia Jin'an made a bowl of plain porridge quite delicious. She picked mushrooms and wild vegetables herself from the mountain, and after tasting it, the bowl of plain porridge was indeed a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

Xia Jin'an stood somewhat reservedly to the side, her large eyes looking expectantly at Zhong Tian. Zhong Tian nodded.

"Mmm, it tastes good. Let's sit down and eat together!"

Xia Jin'an shook his head. Only a properly married husband can dine with a woman, so there was no reason for him to sit at the table. "Master, let me serve you the dishes."

“No,” Zhongtian said, pulling on Xia Jin’an’s arm. “It’s just a bowl of porridge, why bother with any side dishes? You cooked this yourself, so you should respect your own hard work.”

Xia Jin'an shook her head again.

“I brought you a gift from the market. I will give it to you after you finish your meal.”

Gift? !

This was extremely rare for Xia Jin'an, who had never received a gift before.

"Okay." He sat down at the table, and the somewhat bland meal tasted slightly sweet to Xia Jin'an.

They did not speak while eating or sleeping, and there was no verbal exchange between them.

After finishing her meal, Xia Jin'an quickly cleared away the dishes, looking at Zhong Tian with some anticipation. What would his gift be? Even if it was inexpensive, he would still show the most delighted expression!

Suddenly, a woman's voice, sounding somewhat hesitant, came from outside the door: "Is the master home?"
