The person stood at the doorway, blocking the sunlight of the setting sun. With the person backlit, Liu Ying squinted and couldn't make out who it was.

He took a few more steps forward, and Liu Ying finally saw what the man looked like. She immediately opened her mouth wide in astonishment.

"Qian Ping, it's you! How dare you!" Liu Ying blurted out.

Qian Ping usually fawned over Qin Rufeng, and he knew about Qin Rufeng and his affair.

He knew perfectly well, yet he still dared to kidnap me. What exactly does he want to do?

Qian Ping wore a lewd expression. "I'm pretty bold, so what? Today you're mine..."

Liu Ying hurriedly sat down on the ground and moved backward, but her back was already against the cold wall. There was nowhere left to retreat, and she felt nervous and scared.

Qian Ping was already untying his belt.

"Qian Ping, you shameless bastard! Don't you know about me and Ru Feng?" Liu Ying shouted.

"Don't mention Qin Rufeng to me!" Qian Ping's expression turned ferocious, and he slapped Liu Ying across the face.

Qian Ping slapped her hard, and Liu Ying tasted blood in her mouth. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Qian Ping with a mixture of hatred and fear.

"Because I know he likes you, that's why I'm going to destroy you and make him suffer for the rest of his life!"

Liu Ying looked at Qian Ping in disbelief: "Why did you do this? He's always been so good to you..."

"Ha, so what if they're nice to me? I hate the charity of those in power!" At this moment, Qian Ping had already taken off his pants and started tearing at Liu Ying's clothes.

Liu Ying felt intense nausea and disgust.

Fear and despair spread through her heart.

She knew she was doomed today.

She had sworn before that she would belong to Qin Rufeng for the rest of her life.

She was determined to remain chaste for Qin Rufeng.

But now, this has actually happened.

Confucianism, I'm sorry, see you in the next life...

Liu Ying closed her eyes, put her tongue between her teeth, and was about to bite down when someone suddenly barged in.

Liu Ying's eyes lit up; this person was none other than Qin Rufeng.

He rushed in, grabbed Qian Ping, and kicked him in the chest.

Qian Ping felt a sharp pain in his chest, almost coughing up blood. Then, two people held him down by his arms, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

Qin Rufeng's eyes reddened. He quickly untied the ropes binding Liu Ying's hands and said with concern, "Ying'er, are you alright? I'm sorry I'm late."

When Liu Ying saw Qin Rufeng enter, tears immediately streamed down her face.

"Ru Feng, I thought I'd never see you again..." Liu Ying said, tears streaming down her face, as she straightened her clothes. "If you had come even a moment later, I would have bitten my tongue and killed myself..."

Qin Rufeng felt a pang of heartache looking at Liu Ying. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but men and women shouldn't touch each other, and Liu Ying wasn't married yet, so he raised his hand and then lowered it.

"I know, I know everything..." Qin Rufeng said in a hoarse voice.

The people outside were all subdued by the guards of the Marquis's residence.

When Qian Ping saw Qin Rufeng enter, he was completely terrified.

He thought he had covered his tracks perfectly, and that after he had his fun, he would kill this bitch and no one would be able to find out. But Qin Rufeng actually came and caught him red-handed.

He knelt on the ground, his lips pale, and repeatedly begged Qin Rufeng for mercy: "Young Master Qin, I was wrong, I was confused for a moment, I really know I was wrong, please let me go this time..."

Qin Rufeng turned around and glared at him, which sent a chill down Qian Ping's spine.

Qin Rufeng was always a gentle and refined man; he had never seen Qin Rufeng with such a look in his eyes before. He practically wanted to kill him.

"Why should I let you go? Because of what you've done?" Qin Rufeng said through gritted teeth.

No one can harm those around him. Anyone who dares to touch his Ying'er will have to pay a terrible price.

"Go report to the authorities," Qin Rufeng said to the guard beside him.

Qian Ping was ashen-faced and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Young Master Qin, I truly know I was wrong, please spare me. If this is reported to the authorities, not only am I finished, but my father and our whole family will be finished..."

Qin Rufeng looked at him coldly: "You're finished, and that's what you deserve. Your father is finished because he failed to raise his son properly. Since you did this, you should have thought about your fate today."

The guard accepted the order, immediately turned around, went out, and rode away on horseback.

Qian Ping was forced to kneel on the ground, completely stunned.

After a while, the Ministry of Justice arrived and handled the matter. Qin Rufeng and Liu Ying were also questioned according to procedure, and it was quite late by the time everything was over.

Qin Rufeng sent a guard back to the mansion in advance to report that he was safe and sound, which put his family at ease.

Finally, Liu Ying returned to her own home, and Qin Rufeng returned to the Marquis's residence.

Qin Rufeng returned home late at night.

No one in the family slept; they were all waiting for Qin Rufeng to return.

As soon as the person returned, they rushed forward.

Qin Rufeng felt a warmth in his heart when he saw how much his family cared for him.

The Hou family has always had harmonious relationships, with kind fathers and filial sons, and loving brothers. Now, their long-lost younger sister has also returned.

I hope the Marquis's mansion can continue to be this good.

But his younger sister's inner voice said that the Marquis's family would ultimately suffer the fate of being executed along with their entire clan. This was something he absolutely could not allow.

Since Xiao Dongqian actually wants to harm the Marquis's mansion, he's the only one who can die.

Qin Rufeng answered his family's questions one by one.

Finally, he knelt down solemnly before his father and mother.

He had wanted to say this for a long time.

"Father, Mother, your son wants to marry Liu Ying." Qin Rufeng's gaze was firm.

Qin Yezhong and Yang Xiurong exchanged a glance, surprised that the child would say such a thing at this moment.

"Liu Ying has been devoted to me. Today, she remained chaste for my sake. If I had arrived any later, she would have bitten her tongue and committed suicide. How could I betray her for treating me like this?"

[Liu Ying is truly devoted to Fifth Brother. She's honest and upright, never competitive or greedy. Most importantly, she's fertile!]

Qin Rufeng's ears turned red again upon hearing this. However, his younger sister's thoughts were indeed in his best interest.

He thought to himself, "Little sister, if you can talk, say a few more words!"
