“Cousin-in-law, I’m not afraid anymore…” Xiang Ling’er was frightened. There were also traces of being tied up on her body. At this moment, the hand that was holding the tea was trembling.

Ye Muyu opened the wooden box beside her and took out the ointment.

He slowly applied medicine on Xiang Ling’er’s wrist.

“Sister-in-law, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Now that she saw Ye Muyu, Xiang Ling’er’s fear slowly calmed down. However, she was still a little scared. She did not want Ye Muyu to worry, so she tried her best to smile.

Ye Muyu thought for a moment, took out a candied fruit from the cloth bag beside her, and fed it to Xiang Ling’er with a gentle smile.

“Ling’er, don’t worry. With sister-in-law around, no one will dare to harm you.”

“Sister-in-law…” Xiang Ling’er’s eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were filled with gratitude. The candied fruit in her mouth was even sweeter.

Seeing her like this, Ye Muyu finally relaxed and patted her head.

On the other side, Chu Heng lifted the curtain and walked up.

Du Heng followed behind him.

After the two of them sat down, the carriage rushed to the Xiang family.

In the carriage…

“Ling ‘er, it’s alright now. Can you tell me what happened at home?” Ye Muyu asked after Xiang Ling’er had calmed down.

“Cousin-in-law, I came back with my parents a few days ago and found out that Landlord Wang’s family had invited a matchmaker to come several times. They said that they wanted to propose marriage to me, but I don’t know Landlord Wang at all, let alone marry him. Moreover… Landlord Wang is already in his forties. Father and Mother will never let me marry Landlord Wang.”

“Because Father and Mother rejected the matchmaker sent by the Wang family from the very beginning. Who knew that the Wang family would come several times to force them to marry me. Father and Mother were afraid that Landlord Wang would not let go of this idea, so they thought of going to Landlord Wang’s people to make peace. They wanted to find out why he insisted on marrying me. I’m just a country girl. If there was no reason, I would not be liked by the other party.”

“Father and Mother guessed that there must be a reason, so they went up to ask. They thought that if they could explain the reason, they wouldn’t have to make too much of a fuss. After all, the Xiang family can’t afford to offend the Wang family.”

“After Father and Mother went there, the Wang family tried to persuade Father and Mother, but they didn’t agree, so the Wang family captured them and refused to let them return.”

“Then, they got the matchmaker go to our house to ask for Ling’er’s birth characters and betrothal card.”

“How can I watch my parents get into trouble and the betrothal card fall into the hands of the Wang family?”

“The Wang family doesn’t seem to want to make a big fuss with us. They gave us three days to prepare for the wedding.”

“Today is the day to pick up the bride…” Xiang Ling’er’s eyes reddened as she spoke. She held back her tears. “Cousin-in-law, if Ling’er didn’t marry into the Wang family, would Father and Mother…”

She was too afraid. When she heard the voices of Ye Muyu and the others, she subconsciously wanted to ask for help. However, after being saved, she realized the situation at home and was especially worried about her parents and family.

“Don’t be afraid, Ling’er. With your cousin here today, we won’t let anyone bully our family. You guys such fools. Why didn’t you go and ask your cousin for help?” Ye Muyu was worried. “If we didn’t come here today, would you have married into the Wang family?”

“When that time comes, your life will be ruined.”

Ye Muyu was both angry and anxious, and her face was also dyed with anger. Chu Hongmei’s family was greedy and scheming, but her Eldest Aunt’s family did not want to trouble others for anything, afraid of owing them a favor.

However, someone else had come to bully them now. If they did not ask for their help now, would they wait until something happened before crying out in regret?
