Transmigration: I, the Dragon Overlord, start by protecting my beautiful bride!

"No problem, leave it to me!" Jiang Beichuan leaped up, his body as light as a swallow, and landed on the roof of the Shi family's house.

"Hey, what's going on here?" A swaying figure walked out from outside the courtyard gate, looked at the room full of people from the Zhenye Division, and said sarcastically, "Is there no case left in Qianzhou City? My house isn't a restaurant, why are there so many people from the Zhenye Division here?"

Zhang Zhong: "What did you say? How the Zhenye Division behaves is none of your business!"

Seeing her husband so drunk, Shi Mingxiang immediately stepped forward to protect him, saying, "Lord Zhang, please don't be offended. My husband is drunk and speaks recklessly..."

Zhang Zhong glared at him, snorted coldly, and said nothing.

Liu San, standing to the side, said, "Hey you, this is your own purse that's been lost. You're not worried at all, but you're not happy that we're helping you look for it?"

"What?!" Upon hearing that his purse was missing, the man immediately panicked and turned to his woman, "Mingxiang, what happened?!"

Shi Mingxiang stammered as she explained the whole story to her husband.

Upon hearing this, the man flew into a rage. Without a word, he slapped her across the face and yelled, "You woman! I entrusted my purse to you for safekeeping, and you lost it?! What are we, the whole family, going to eat and drink this month?!"

"I..." Shi Mingxiang's face stung with pain. She covered her slapped face, and large tears immediately slid down her cheeks.

"Cry, cry, all you do is cry! I'll beat you to death!" The drunk man grabbed Shi Mingxiang's hand and slapped her twice more when he saw her crying.

"Hey, what right do you have to hit my sister?" Shi Yiguang, eager to protect her sister, immediately stepped forward, pushed the man away, and stood in front of her sister.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Zhong, Liu San, and their ilk all remained indifferent...

This is because in China, male superiority and female inferiority are practiced.

Men could have multiple wives and concubines, frequent brothels, and stay out all night, while women were forced to adhere to all sorts of etiquette, treated like domestic servants, cooking and bearing children. If they were unlucky enough to marry into a bad family, they would be beaten and verbally abused for the slightest mistake…

This kind of situation was commonplace in Qianzhou City...

Unless a girl is born into a wealthy family, she is just an ordinary girl, and there is truly no way for her to defy fate...

"You brat, what business is it of yours if I hit my own wife? If you don't move aside, I'll hit you too!" The man raised his hand to strike, and the Shi sisters closed their eyes in fear...

"Stop it!" Long Aotian shouted angrily, stopping the man's violence.

He stepped forward to stand in front of the Shi sisters. As a good young man of the 21st century, how could he allow domestic violence to happen?

Moreover, the purse was stolen from the house.

"You are? Shen the coward from the Night Watch." The man was drunk, but still disrespectful to Shen Congxin. "I know you. Your wife is very pretty, but I heard she's not very obedient and always thinking of running away?"

He slurred drunkenly and whispered in Long Aotian's ear, "Let me tell you, if a woman doesn't obey, you should beat her hard! Only when you beat them into obedience will they serve you obediently!"

"you……"

"I'll go to you!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Mingxiang remained silent, but cried even harder.

Just as Shi Yiguang was about to defend her sister, Long Aotian couldn't take it anymore and kicked the man in the chest, sending him flying!

This scene left the Shi sisters and Zhang Zhong, Liu San, and the others dumbfounded.

"Shen, you coward, what are you doing?!"

"I am a seventh-rank Grand Inspector of the Celestial Empire!" Shen, the coward, stomped on the man's chest and said viciously, "Your disrespect for me is disrespect for the Celestial Empire, and disrespect for His Majesty! So what if I kick you?"

The man hadn't expected Shen Congxin to be so "crazy," but what he said wasn't untrue.

People usually call him Shen the Coward, but he doesn't mind, so everyone really thinks he's a gentle inflatable doll.

But if he really wants to take this matter seriously, it can be a big deal or a small deal. Even if he can't behead him, he can easily be arrested and given a good beating!

"What are you all making such a racket for?" The noise in the courtyard startled the elderly man inside the house.

The next moment, a man who looked very much like the man came out, helping an old woman with gray hair.

"Mother, you've come." Shi Mingxiang wiped away her tears and greeted the old woman.

"You jinx! Seeing my son like this, why don't you help him up?" The old woman looked at Shi Mingxiang with disgust. "With so many people here, has the purse been found yet?"

"Not yet..." Shi Mingxiang lowered her head and quickly ran over to help her husband up from the ground.

Instead of being grateful, the man continued to beat and verbally abuse Shi Mingxiang.

Shi Yiguang immediately pulled her older sister back and said, "Sister, why are you doing this? Listen to me, don't pay attention to this scoundrel who only drinks all day. Divorce him and come with me!"

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian paused for a moment, looked at Shi Yiguang, but remained silent.

"How dare you!" The old woman was furious, pointing at Shi Yiguang and saying, "You little brat, how dare you utter such rebellious words?!"

"You lot, all you do is eat and be lazy, leaving everything to my sister." Shi Yiguang pointed at the man lying on the ground and said, "If he hadn't gone to brothels to drink every day, would my sister have developed a back injury from exhaustion?"

After saying that, she turned around and pointed at the man next to the old woman, saying, "And you, you're in the prime of your life, yet you've learned to be idle and lazy, staying at home all day without ever earning money to support your family. You've been eating and drinking for free for so long, don't you have any shame?!"

Long Aotian never expected that Shi Yiguang, who looked so gentle and had such a lovely and beautiful face, could be so sharp-tongued.

and……

There was something strangely familiar about their conversation...

"You brat, when did theft ever happen in my house before you came back? I bet you stole my purse!" The man's younger brother jumped in immediately after being reprimanded. "Now that things have come to this, I have to tell you. Last night, I got up in the middle of the night and saw her sneaking into my sister-in-law's room!"

"Don't make baseless accusations! How could I steal my sister's things?!" Shi Yiguang retorted angrily. "I think it's you who's idle and lazy, which is why you have such petty thoughts!"

"If it weren't for you, would you dare let the officials search your room!"

"I haven't done anything wrong, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhong, who was standing nearby, immediately became interested and stepped forward, asking the man, "Is this true?!"

The man's younger brother: "I saw it with my own eyes, so it's definitely true!"

Zhang Zhong slapped his thigh and shouted, "Alright! Search them!"
