When Xie Chen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

?

Of course, she would not just listen to Qiuyue's words, but turned around to ask other people. Some passers-by even enthusiastically added details.

?

After a while, Xie Chen figured out the whole story.

?

She then walked behind her fourth uncle and whispered something.

?

Fourth Uncle followed closely, raised his cane, and hit Xie Guangyu, "I told you not to bully Liu Zheng! Xiangyu gives the clan so much money every year, and also helps the clan children to go to school. I don't ask you to repay Xiangyu, but you can't bully Liu Zheng while she's away!"

?

"I really don't know how Third Brother taught you! I must seek justice for Liu Zheng!"

?

As he said that, he walked towards Xie Guangyu's house angrily. He wanted to ask his good third brother why he treated Xiangyu and her daughter like that.

?

Sixth uncle also hurried to catch up, "Fourth brother, wait for me!"

?

Seeing this, Xie Guangyu also hurriedly chased after him, "Fourth Uncle, you can't go, my father is still sick in bed!"

?

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he said it, Fourth Uncle started yelling, "Do you still remember that your father is bedridden? Then what are you doing here? It seems that Liu Zheng is right. You are indeed a disloyal and unfilial bastard!"

?

Xie Chen did not follow immediately, but walked up to Xie Liuzheng and gently pulled her up.

?

"Good boy, you have been wronged! Don't worry, Fourth Uncle will definitely seek justice for you!"

?

Xie Liuzheng was filled with gratitude, then she remembered something and said hurriedly, "Aunt, there is one more thing Liuzheng must say. Mr. Pei and I are sworn brothers, and he is my sworn brother! But Xie Guangyu slandered us... I can't say that."

?

"It doesn't matter if my reputation is affected, but if my brother is implicated! I can't bear it! Please help my brother clear his name!"

?

Xie Liuzheng did not talk about his own affairs, and was only thinking about helping Pei Zeqiu restore his reputation. His loyalty immediately won him praise from many onlookers.

?

Seeing this, Xie Chen asked loudly, "You and Mr. Pei have become sworn sisters. Does your mother know about this?"

?

Xie Liuzheng nodded.

?

Then Xie Chen said to everyone, "Since your mother knows, then it's legitimate. You two are siblings of the opposite sex. It's aboveboard and innocent. I want to see which person who can't tell right from wrong will make irresponsible remarks!"

?

After hearing what Xie Chen said, even if the people present wanted to question the relationship between Xie Liuzheng and Pei Zeqiu, they could not say anything more, otherwise that person would be regarded as someone who could not distinguish right from wrong and was gossiping.

?

Then Xie Liuzheng invited Xie Chen to come into the house and have a seat.

?

Xie Chen wanted to make friends with her, so she naturally wouldn't refuse, and Pei Zeqiu also followed her in.

?

But unlike Xie Liuzheng's happy atmosphere, a farce was happening in Third Uncle's house.

?

I don’t know if Fourth Uncle did it on purpose, but he actually rushed to Third Uncle’s bedside and told him everything Xie Guangyu had done outside.

?

The third uncle was still conscious at this moment. He listened to his brother's retelling and never expected that his own son would do such a stupid thing.

?

Of course he felt that his brother had bad intentions too.

?

But now he had no time to deal with his younger brother, and immediately sent someone to call Xie Guangyu. When Xie Guangyu came back, the third uncle, despite his weak body, raised his crutches to teach this rebellious son a lesson!

?

"It hurts so much, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

?

But Third Uncle didn't know where he got the strength from, and ordered his servants to support him while he chased after Xie Guangyu and beat him.

?

Fourth uncle and his friends were sitting aside watching the show, until third uncle suddenly paused, then vomited a mouthful of blood, and then lost consciousness completely.

?

Now everyone was panicking.

?

"Third brother, don't scare me!" Fourth uncle and his companions hurriedly ordered people to help the man to the bed and called a doctor.

?

But when the doctor came, he shook his head and said, "The person is gone!"

?

Then the doctor left, and Xie Guangyu fell to the ground, completely stunned.

?

Without his father's support, how would the third branch of the family survive? No one in the family had a legitimate livelihood.

?

The reason they can survive is entirely due to their status as the patriarch of the Xie family and the supply from other people with the surname Xie.

?

Xie Xiangyu accounted for the majority.

?

But now Xie Xiangyu no longer supplies them with money, and Xie Guangyu is not a capable person, so naturally he has to find ways to make money everywhere.

?

The fourth uncle and his companions stood up and tried to leave, but were stopped by Xie Guangyu, "You killed my father! No one is allowed to leave!"

?

Naturally, Fourth Uncle and his entourage refused to acknowledge it, and the two sides continued to argue endlessly.

?

In response to this, Xie Liuzheng just shook her head after receiving the news, and then she continued to let Qiuyue help her apply the medicine.

?

She doesn't want to be disfigured.

?

Mrs. Xie Chen left early because she was in a hurry to save her fourth uncle, and Xie Liuzheng did not stop her.

?

When there was no one around, Xie Liuzheng realized that Mr. Pei had not left.

?

"Sworn brother!"

?

Xie Liuzheng couldn't help but worry that Pei Zeqiu would stay away from her because of her scheming, but she didn't think she was wrong to do so.

?

"Brother, I know you will definitely despise me, but I am only doing this to protect myself! Do I have to let others ride on my head to be considered well-educated and well-mannered? I would rather not have such a reputation!"

?

After saying that, Xie Liuzheng waited for Pei Zeqiu to react. If he wanted to leave, Xie Liuzheng would not stop him. On the contrary, she would find a secluded house to accommodate him.

?

It was worth the care he once showed me.

?

But Xie Liuzheng still felt very regretful.

?

But as she said, she has no regrets!

?

Having been reborn, she doesn't want to compromise herself for the sake of so-called fame.

?

Didn't she suffer enough injustice in her previous life? But the result was so tragic. In this life, she wanted to live freely and happily, so that she would not live in vain again.

?

After a while, there was no sound in the living room. Xie Liuzheng knew that Pei Zeqiu must have left, and she sighed helplessly.

?

But she still pulled herself together and called Fang Cheng, "Go find a secluded house quickly. It doesn't matter how big it is, but it must be quiet. Buy it directly no matter how much it costs, and then give the deed to my brother."

?

"I live well here, why should I buy another house?"

?

Before Fang Cheng could respond, Xie Liuzheng's body stiffened. Then she turned her head and saw Pei Zeqiu looking at her with a smile.

?

"Brother, you didn't leave?"

?

Pei Zeqiu smiled and said, "Even if you want to chase me away, I won't leave! Since we have become sworn brothers, I will naturally rely on you."

?

In fact, Xie Liuzheng knew very well that Pei Zeqiu said this on purpose. In fact, he had very little demand for material life.

?

The reason he stayed was for her!

?

"Thank you, brother! Thank you!"

?

Xie Liuzheng was deeply touched. She burst into tears for the first time. She had sworn that she would never cry easily in her life.

?

But she didn't expect that she would be moved to tears by Pei Zeqiu.

?

"Thank you, brother. Thank you for being with me..."
