f her leftover half in a few bites.In the end, he wiped his mouth and replied, “During the exam, of course, he ground his own ink. But it is said that his ink brick has already been used for two years...Old Master Yan's heart skipped a beat, his worst fear had come true.

He knew that his rebellious son was easy to handle, after all, he was from the Yan family bloodline. When facing his parents and siblings, he always had to be somewhat restrained.

But the relationship between Marquis Xin Ting and the Li family was doomed, and this matter would definitely not be swept under the rug.

He gritted his teeth, called his two sons forward, then flung open his long robe and knelt on the ground.

Master Yen and Second Master Yen were startled, hesitated for a moment, then were reprimanded by the old master, “Kneel down quickly!”

Having said that, he respectfully bowed to the Marquis and pleaded, “Marquis, today’s events were truly a misunderstanding. The woman is ignorant and narrow-minded. Upon learning that her son, who had been wandering outside, was now the son of the Li family, she momentarily became enraged and acted impulsively.”

"Now they have been beaten and learned their lesson. Our Yan family is also willing to compensate, kneeling here to apologize, begging the Marquis to show mercy and spare these ignorant women."

The Marquis motioned for Jiayin to come forward, reaching out to take her hand, and sneered, "Sir Yan advises this Marquis to be lenient towards women and children. Those who don't know better will probably praise Sir Yan for his wisdom."

But just now, your Yan family's people, wielding sticks and clubs, stormed in, smashing things and beating people. There were only the elderly, children, even pregnant women in this courtyard at the time. Your Yan family shows no mercy to women and children!

The elderly matriarch, Yan, was flustered. Her face flushed red as she frantically racked her brain, asking, "Lord Hou, this is truly a misunderstanding. We didn't know you valued the Li family so highly, otherwise…"

"Or else" The marquis's whip cracked against the pillar, his face growing even colder.

"Mr. Yan, are you saying that ordinary people like us, your family can just barge in and bully the elderly and children Mr. Yan, you've read for half your life, haven't you read a single good thing"

"This marquis risked his life and death on the battlefield to protect the people's peace and prosperity. But you, the Yan family, with just a few casual words, have destroyed the peace that this marquis fought so hard to win back!"

Outside the gate, some onlookers couldn't help but shout, "They say the Yan family is a scholarly and respected family, but they are actually thieves and adulterers, full of evil intentions!"

"That's it, just because they're small families they can bully anyone! What utter nonsense!"

"Today, the Marquis returned in time, otherwise the Yan family would still be so arrogant!"

The Yan family heard it loud and clear, their faces contorted with anger, but they didn't dare retort.

The Yan family has already lost face. If this is not handled well, things could get even worse and there will be no way to salvage the situation.

At a glance, the stern old master saw his silent son-in-law and immediately motioned for him to step forward and plead for mercy.

Mr. Zhou was now regretting his decision with all his heart. He had originally planned to take a day off today, and he rarely stayed home. He was enjoying himself playing in the garden with his child.

Suddenly hearing that his father-in-law and uncle arrived at the door, he was asked to help with a small favor.

Of course he couldn't refuse, so he came without even changing his clothes.

On the road, I heard that my wayward brother-in-law has been hiding at the Li family's place. Apparently, his wife is still alive too, and he seems very happy about it.

Thinking that they had arrived at Li's house, he formally expressed his gratitude and took his brother-in-law and his wife home to live a good life.

Even with so many conflicts and irreconcilable contradictions in the past, given that his brother-in-law has been missing for so long, the Yan family must be very anxious and have definitely reflected on the situation.

Now that the young couple is doing well, the in-laws are about to welcome their grandson, it's a perfect family reunion!

To their surprise, the mother-in-law brought people and wrecked Li's house, nearly beating up the elderly Mrs. Li and her children!

Even pregnant sister-in-laws are dragged back to the city, almost meeting their demise!

He really wished he had wings, so he could fly home immediately and never worry about the mess at Yan's family again.

The Li family are such kind people, he knows that better than anyone.

At first, he helped draw the valley map. Every time he came over, the Li family ate coarse grain themselves but brought out rice and noodles to cook him a proper meal.

When the valley was finally built, he also carved his name on a stone tablet to let the world know that the valley was the crystallization of his wisdom.

Over the past two years, they received gifts from their village for every occasion: Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese New Year, even when the jade gourds were in bloom.

Such a good person being bullied, he not only can't protect himself but also helps his father-in-law's family who committed the crime to plead for leniency. He really regrets hitting his head against the wall.

Why didn't I ask a few more questions before going out Otherwise, he wouldn't have pretended to be sick and not come!

Seeing that her son-in-law was reluctant, the old matriarch, Yán, became furious and glared at him. She hissed in a low voice, "Speak quickly!"

Master Zhou was unable to advance, so he bowed respectfully and said with a flushed face, “Lord Hou, Lady Li, today it is indeed the Yan family who has erred first. Logically speaking, Lord Hou has every right to punish as he sees fit. But my father-in-law and mother-in-law are old, please, Lord Hou, show mercy and lessen the punishment.”

The Marquis looked at Old Lady Li, who was also hesitant. If it were someone else, she wouldn't want to pay attention, but Lord Zhou was different.

Zhou Daren not only helped the village, but he was also a good friend of Mr. Wen.

She pondered for a moment, then said, "My Lord, for Zhou's sake, please just let it go."

The lord asked Jia Yin again, "What does Fu Niuer say"

Jia Yin shook her head. "Foster Father, I don't want to forgive them! They smashed our house, beat me and Grandma, and almost killed the Master! They are bad people, bad people should be eradicated! Otherwise, what if they come back to harm us again in the future"

Cut the grass and eradicate the roots

The stern family's faces were ashen, but the Marquis laughed heartily instead, picking up the little girl and praising her, “That’s right, that’s how it should be. If apologizing would work, why would we need a sword Blood debts should be paid with blood!”

Jia Yin sat stiffly in her godfather's arms, her big eyes filled with anger and coldness.

"Father, just now I hid behind the door and saw them with sticks, smashing our house. They beat my grandmother and master, and even Zhao Grandpa and the others who have lost their arms and legs, they want to bully them too! I wanted to kill them all! Father, I want revenge!"

The lord looked at the little girl, understood her meaning, and put her down.

"Go ahead, go for it, your godfather supports you, don't be afraid of anything!"

Jiayin turned and went into the house. Everyone looked on in confusion, wondering what a little girl could possibly do.

It was Li Lao Tai who suddenly understood, and instinctively pulled on the Marquis's sleeve.

"My Lord, would this be appropriate to take out at this time"

The Lord nodded, comforting the old woman, “Don’t worry, Auntie. Big brother will be back soon. When he returns, our family is destined to become renowned. It's just a few days earlier than expected!”

The old woman looked at the messy yard and sighed.

"I thought that as long as our family lived honestly and didn't bully others, everything would be fine. But now it seems that some things are unavoidable. So let's just face them! The Li family can endure hardship, but we can't live a life of being wronged forever!"

"Yes, aunt, that's right!" The lord laughed heartily. Li Lao Er, Li Lao Si, and Tao Hongying also smiled, straightening their backs involuntarily.

The Li family doesn't start trouble, but they're never afraid of it either!

Today, the Li family has been recognized by the world again, so let's start with the Yan family!

The Yan family was at a loss, unable to understand what was going on with the Li family.

Mr. Yan the elder and Mr. Yan the second flashed a look of disdain in their eyes, which vanished in an instant.

Even if the Li family had been in the wrong first, the Yan family had a marquis to back them up. But the Li family was just a humble, small household after all. What could they possibly do to the Yan family!tuds.Finally, I put on a pair of jade bangles on my wrists. That's all for the dressing up.Just a while ago, the little piglet was sleeping so soundly that drool was dripping from its mouth. Now, it's...
