The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

[Once, Liu Ying accidentally fell into the water, and Fifth Brother was frantic. He wasn't a very good swimmer himself, but he jumped in to save her. In the end, the two of them barely escaped with their lives.]

[I was afraid my parents would find out, so I waited until my clothes were completely dry before coming back.]

The family remained outwardly calm, but their eyes were actually glancing at Qin Rufeng.

I couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Qin Rufeng's family knew he was a good swimmer; he could swim a little, but he wasn't an expert and was far from being able to go into the water to save people.

He actually jumped into the water to save the woman, which shows that he was truly moved.

Later, when Liu Ying was bullied at school, her fifth brother stepped in and beat the bully so badly that he left him with a bruised and swollen face.

The family looked slightly surprised.

Qin Rufeng has a very good temper; he gives the impression that he wouldn't fight back even if he were beaten up outside.

Qin Yezhong often sighed to Qin Rufeng.

How could a military general like him have such a cowardly son?

When Qin Rufeng was little, he would often cry when he was bullied. Qin Yezhong was so angry that he said, "Can't you fight back?"

At that time, Qin Rufeng, who was only six years old, said in a serious tone that a gentleman should win people over with virtue.

Enraged, Qin Yezhong wanted to beat his son again.

In the end, it was the second brother, Qin Xiaorong, who couldn't stand it anymore and taught a lesson to the people who bullied Qin Rufeng.

Unexpectedly, Ru Feng would actually fight over a woman.

Could this woman truly awaken the bloodline of Confucian-style warriors? If so, marrying her wouldn't be out of the question.

Qin Xiaoyan was the most surprised.

What? My weak and helpless fifth brother actually got into a fight over a woman?

Who exactly is this woman that Fifth Brother beats her up?

Qin Rufeng's ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

He smiled as he looked at Qin Wanying, tears silently streaming down his face.

He placed a piece of braised pork on Qin Wanying's plate: "Little sister, eat more." He hoped this would silence Qin Wanying's unease.

"Thank you, Fifth Brother." Qin Wanying smiled sweetly.

[Liu Ying is indeed a good girl. She is devoted to Fifth Brother, knows her lowly status, and has no ambition. She is willing to be a concubine as long as she can marry Fifth Brother.]

However, my fifth brother disagreed. He wanted her to be his legal wife and decided to marry only Liu Ying for the rest of his life.

Yang Xiurong nodded silently in her heart.

The men in the Qin family are all good men, and Qin Yezhong is one of them.

When he married her, he promised to marry only her for the rest of his life, and Qin Yezhong truly kept his word.

For over twenty years, he hasn't had a single concubine, let alone a maidservant.

What a pity...

The expressions on the family members' faces changed slightly.

I wanted to hear more, but then there was no more sound.

Qin Rufeng was unaware of how serious the matter was.

But the others have already witnessed the power of Qin Wanying's inner voice.

It was truly a matter of life and death.

If you add a "what a pity" comment, trouble is sure to follow.

Go on, keep going...

The family was extremely anxious.

Fortunately, Xin Sheng paused for a moment, then continued speaking.

Unfortunately, my fifth brother had a classmate at the Imperial Academy named Qian Ping. On the surface, Qian Ping was extremely respectful to my fifth brother, but in reality, he was always jealous of him. He was jealous that my fifth brother's family background was better than his, and that his studies were better.

[Qian Ping knew that Fifth Brother liked Liu Ying and wanted to defile her. It was supposed to happen in about a month. Liu Ying refused, preferring death to submit, determined to remain chaste for Fifth Brother. She bit her tongue and committed suicide.]

[This Qian Ping is utterly depraved; he defiled the corpse, then destroyed all evidence, throwing Liu Ying's body into the river.]

[Later, after seeing Liu Ying's body being pulled from the water, Fifth Brother nearly went mad. From then on, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day. Although he achieved the highest rank in the imperial examination, he had no interest in an official career and became a complete failure.]

Even when the entire Marquis's family was executed, Qian Ping's conspiracy was never exposed. Instead, because he sided with the male protagonist, he was promoted rapidly.

The family gasped in shock upon hearing this.

Who would have thought that Ru Feng was such a devoted lover, and who would have thought that he would encounter such a thing!

Qin Rufeng's face turned deathly pale.

Qian Ping had a lot of interaction with him on a regular basis and was always very respectful and flattering towards him. He had also helped Qian Ping twice.

Who would have thought he was this kind of person?

Qin Rufeng felt as if he had been stabbed in the back with a knife.

Ying'er, his Ying'er, so pure and innocent, how could she be defiled and tormented by such people!

Ying'er remained chaste for him, and even bit her tongue to commit suicide.

It's really hateful!

Qin Rufeng clenched his fists, his gaze icy.

Although he is usually refined and gentle, and polite to others, he is always forgiving if someone offends him.

However, Qian Ping actually dared to lay a hand on his Ying'er.

Qin Rufeng cares about love and also about his family.

If anyone dares to harm the people around him, he will definitely not let them off.

Qian Ping is doomed.

The younger sister said there was still a month left, and she had to prepare well so that Ying'er wouldn't get hurt in any way.

After returning to her residence, Qin Wanying reviewed the fates of several servants.

Given the current unpredictable situation, she feared there might be a traitor hiding within the Marquis's residence, and she had to use the Prophet System to investigate one by one.

Fortunately, the servants I was looking after were all honest and law-abiding, so there were no problems.

However, she was also exhausted. Her fifth brother had returned, and she was too drained of her energy to witness his fate.

Now that the meal was almost finished, Qin Wanying felt that her mental strength had recovered sufficiently, so she decided to show it to her fifth brother.

Qin Wanying stared at Qin Rufeng for a few seconds, her eyes widened, her pupils contracted, and her cherry-like mouth opened slightly.

[Holy crap, why was it moved up? The book clearly stated that Qian Ping wouldn't defile Liu Ying until a month later. How did it get changed to today?]

Everyone was stunned. This was happening today?

Qin Wanying hurriedly said, "Fifth Brother, your classmate Liu Ying is about to be defiled by Qian Ping in a dilapidated temple in the eastern suburbs. You must go there quickly. Twenty guards will be enough. Otherwise, Liu Ying's life will be in danger!"

Qin Yezhong's expression hardened, but he remained calm. He ordered his servants, "Have the head guard take twenty guards on horseback and follow Ru Feng to the dilapidated temple in the eastern suburbs to rescue the people! Leave immediately!"

Qin Rufeng's face turned red. He grabbed his coat and rushed out, not waiting for the head guard. He mounted his horse and rode away first.

Ying'er, his Ying'er absolutely cannot be harmed.

Even if it means his death today, he will protect Ying'er.

Qin Yezhong was still not at ease, so he sent a few more shadow guards to follow them.

The head guard and his men followed hurriedly behind.

The rest of the people at home were also worried.

They wanted to ask Qin Wanying how things would go today, but since it was a family matter, they couldn't bring themselves to ask. They were all extremely anxious.

Yang Xiurong, in particular, was filled with worry and anxiety as a mother, fearing something might happen to her son.

She knew her fifth son's personality; he seemed honest and gentle, but in reality, he was very stubborn. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

If he takes a fancy to the daughter of the shepherd, then he will be set on her. If anything happens to her, he will truly be as his daughter said in her heart, and he will never recover from her loss.

Now, she just hopes she won't be too late and that she can save the person!
