Female-dominated society: I want the world, and I also want all the most handsome men!

Yan Nanfei arrived at the Golden Pavilion.

She carefully selected a gold necklace for Fengshan, noticing his absent-minded look when they passed by the gold shop last time.

He was probably thinking about the gold belt the original owner bought for Xia Qing.

Yan Nanfei can now afford the golden belt to seal the mountain, but sealing the mountain doesn't necessarily mean he wants it.

So she bought him a gold necklace, a solid one at that!

They would definitely like it if the mountain were closed.

With a gold necklace worth fifty taels in her pocket, Yan Nanfei wandered through various shops and bought everything she wanted.

Then, they boarded a donkey cart to go home.

On the donkey cart were the villagers who had seen her carrying Huatuo last time.

"Nanfei, is there something going on between you and Huatuo?" The village gossip... First of all, she really is called a 'gossip': "Are you interested in marrying Huatuo and making him your second husband?"

Yan Nanfei rolled his eyes, his face darkening: "I went up the mountain to chop firewood, saw him fall and get injured, carried him down, and took him to the clinic. I'm his savior, understand?"

A handsome and refined face appeared in her mind; it was Hua Tuo's.

"I'll repay your life with my body." The gossipy old woman said loudly, "I've seen you two have been intimate. Just take pity on him and marry him."

Yan Nanfei looked at this gossipy old woman and really wanted to punch her.

But she held back because hitting someone is illegal.

"Gossip, what are you saying? I only carried Hua Tuo on my back, how could that be considered intimate contact?" Yan Nanfei's eyes were sharp as he threw out an even bigger piece of gossip: "But when I used to sneak into your house to steal chickens and dogs, I would see you and the old widows from the village naked in bed every few days. Why didn't you marry them? Your contact was much more intimate."

Upon hearing this, the gossipy woman became furious and glared at Yan Nanfei: "You're talking nonsense! I have no connection with them whatsoever! If you dare to spread rumors again, I'll report you to the authorities!"

Report to the official?

interesting.

"Fine, I'll lay it out right now: you slept with them secretly. If you're so capable, come with me to the authorities right now and have the constables arrest me!" Yan Nanfei wasn't afraid. In his mind, he had actually done it with those gossipy old women and those old widows: "I beg you, sir, to investigate thoroughly and see if you are innocent or not!"

Yan Nanfei suddenly grabbed the old woman's hand, startling her into shutting up and not daring to look at him.

The other villagers who were with her also kept quiet, exchanging knowing glances with each other.

Yan Nanfei snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze from the gossipy old woman.

Back at the village entrance, Yan Nanfei unloaded the things.

She frowned, looking quite puzzled.

Logically, Feng Shan should be back from the fields at this time and waiting for her here. Why can't I see him?

"Nanfei, you're finally back! Hurry home and see your family. Your gambling-addicted father-in-law has brought two men with him. They're going to kidnap Fengshan and take her back to remarry!" a villager kindly reminded him.

Yan Nanfei was startled. Feng Shan's father was a gambler and a heavy drinker.

When he married Feng Shan, Feng Shan's father made an outrageous demand, asking for a dowry of two hundred taels of silver.

The prerequisite is to buy out their relationship.

Fengshan's father agreed, and Fengshan also agreed.

How dare he come to take Fengshan away to remarry now?!

"Damn it!" Yan Nanfei cursed, dropping his newly bought items and running home as fast as he could!

When she ran to the door, her house was surrounded by villagers who had come to watch the spectacle.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Yan Nanfei is back!"

The villagers all turned back, making way for each other.

Yan Nanfei saw Feng Shan being pinned to the ground by two strong men, while his gambling-addicted father was trying to tie Feng Shan up with a rope.

Fengshan struggled, but he was no match for the overwhelming force.

There were bruises on his face, indicating that he was injured while resisting.

"Seal off the mountain!" Yan Nanfei roared as he charged into the crowd, "You're all courting death!"

Yan Nanfei delivered a flying kick, sending his gambling-addicted father-in-law crashing into the corner of the wall, where he clutched his chest and howled in pain!

As for the other two men, they were terrified by the murderous intent in Yan Nanfei's eyes, and tremblingly got off Feng Shan's back, no longer holding him down.

Yan Nanfei helped Feng Shan up and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

Feng Shan shook his head, though his back ached. They had ambushed him from behind and struck him hard with a blunt object.

Otherwise, with such great strength, Fengshan could have fought them to a draw, instead of letting them utterly dominate them.

Yan Nanfei noticed that Feng Shan had abrasions and bleeding wounds on his arms and knees.

His clothes were torn, revealing his muscular physique and bloody whip marks.

Yan Nanfei's heart suddenly clenched!

Yan Nanfei gritted his teeth in hatred, his angry eyes staring at his gambling father-in-law as if he wanted to devour him, wishing he could cut him into a thousand pieces.

The gambling-addicted father-in-law was startled by Yan Nanfei's gaze. He stood up shakily and looked at Yan Nanfei: "I'm your father-in-law, how dare you hit me?!"

The gambling father-in-law owed the casino a lot of money. The casino owner's wife specially sent her two strongest husbands to kidnap Feng Shan and sell him to a brothel to pay off the debt.

If he can't take Fengshan away today, then he'll pester Yan Nanfei relentlessly and demand money to pay off his debts!

Because he had heard that Yan Nanfei's dead parents had left her a lot of money!

"Let me tell you, either give me three hundred taels, or I'll take Fengshan with me. You choose!" The gambling father-in-law clutched his chest, extremely defiant, and even resorted to moral blackmail: "Fengshan's mother got up early, and I raised her single-handedly until Fengshan was established. Now your parents are gone, and I am your only elder. It is only right that you be filial to me!"

However, the truth is that Fengshan lost his mother at the age of fifteen and began to manage the fields, while his gambling-addicted father spent his days living a carefree life outside and neglected him.

The life of a secluded, unmarried woman in Fengshan was basically the same as the life of the original owner of the body.

All the money he worked so hard to earn was taken by his gambling father-in-law, who went to have fun with other old women.

Thinking of this, Yan Nanfei felt even more heartbroken about the mountain closure.

"Go to hell!" Yan Nanfei lashed out: "Back when our family married Feng Shan, you demanded two hundred taels of silver, on the condition that we sever ties, because you were afraid we wouldn't pay such a high price, so you offered to sever ties!"

"The original dissolution contract is still in our house. If you bring people to our door to snatch someone, that's human trafficking. I'm going to take you to the county government and let the magistrate punish you!"

Yan Nanfei was cold and aloof. He picked up a bullwhip from the side and lashed it hard at the three of them. They screamed and had nowhere to hide. The three of them huddled together and kept pushing each other.

"Even if I beat you to death right now, I'll still be beating human traffickers. If the authorities come, they can only say you deserved it, they won't arrest me!"

There are laws in the imperial court that if a human trafficker is found, he can be killed without any consequences.
