Ye Tao'er tidied her hair and clothes, then went out, calling softly, "Brother Ah Man, why are you here?"

Seeing her sweaty and flushed cheeks, Ah Man thought she was grinding beans in the backyard and was too tired.

"I have delivered the one hundred taels of silver betrothal gift that Aunt Ye asked for. Sister Taoer, I can marry you now." Ah Man couldn't help but be happy.

Ye Tao'er looked at the silver in her mother's arms and was a little surprised that Ah Man could actually collect a hundred taels of silver.

The old lady of the Ye family suddenly sneered and said, "You said that the hundred taels of silver had been delivered. Where is it?"

Ah Man was shocked: "Aunt, isn't what you are holding in your hand the one I just gave you?"

"Nonsense, this is the dowry I saved for Tao'er over the past few decades. I just took it out from the bank. How dare you say it was sent by you? How shameless!"

Ah Man looked at Ye's mother, then at Ye Tao'er, and quickly explained: "Sister Tao'er, please believe me, I really sent the hundred taels of silver."

The old lady of the Ye family immediately stopped Ye Tao'er and said, "Is your name written on it? Do you want to shout and see if the silver will respond to you?"

Ah Man was so angry that his face turned red. It happened that he was too excited when he came here and forgot to bring a witness. Now that the old lady of the Ye family has turned against him, he really has no way to defend himself. He only hopes that Ye Taoer will believe him.

Ye Tao'er said, "Brother Ah Man, my mother did save a dowry for me and put it in the bank. She said that I am not young anymore and it is time to get married, so she went to take out the money."

Ah Man's mind went blank with a buzzing sound. Even Ye Tao'er didn't believe him. Who else could he expect to believe him?

The old lady of the Ye family held the silver tightly, "You are just a servant, how did you get a hundred taels of silver? If you really took it, it must have been stolen or robbed, and we dare not take it!"

Ah Man's blood rushed to his head.

Not only did the old lady of the Ye family seize his hundred taels of silver, she also humiliated him for robbing and stealing. The silver came from a clean and honest source, it was given by the young lady, how could he allow the old lady of the Ye family to insult him like this?

Ah Man rushed forward and tried to take the silver back.

Suddenly, Ah Man was kicked hard in the heart. He fell to the ground and felt the blood rushing to his throat.

"Who are you? How dare you covet my woman!" The man in the room came out and kicked Ah Man while hugging Ye Taoer in his arms.

Ah Man saw Ye Tao'er's shy face, leaning on the man's arms like a boneless person. What else could she not understand? She only felt that her eyes were black!

"Ah Man, you came too late. I've already followed Young Master Zheng." Ye Tao'er covered her mouth and laughed, "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being capable. Young Master Zheng, not only does his grandfather serve as prime minister, he also has outstanding abilities."

Yes, this man is Zheng Zhixue, the grandson of Duke Cheng’s Mansion. He often relies on the fact that his grandfather is the prime minister and his aunt is the imperial concubine to do evil things outside. He doesn’t care about anyone, let alone Ah Man.

"So what if he is the grandson of the Duke's Mansion? If you follow him you can only be his concubine! Tao'er, don't be so stupid!" Ah Man was extremely angry, but still refused to give up.

"So what if I'm your concubine? It's better than following you and serving others." Ye Taoer said.

Ah Man stared at her with wide eyes, as if he was meeting Ye Taoer for the first time. He was unwilling to believe that the girl he loved was so flattering.

Ye Taoer added: "You are just a servant of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. You still have the nerve to look down on the concubine of the Duke's Mansion. It's ridiculous. Stop pestering me!"

Ah Man spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. From now on, you and I will never know each other again. But your mother must return my silver!"

He was the one who misjudged and gave his true feelings to someone in the wrong place.

But the hundred taels of silver were a reward from the young lady and could not be taken away like that.

"That's my mother-in-law's money, and you dare to rob it? Boy, do you want to die?" Zheng Zhixue stepped on his head, and Ah Man struggled hard under his feet.

"Someone come here!" Zheng Zhixue shouted, and his personal servant immediately ran over from not far away with four guards.

"Teach him a lesson, and let him know that he can't covet my woman!"

His guards immediately dragged Ah Man aside and beat him to death.

Ye Tao'er was a little scared: "Will he be beaten to death? Why not let him go?"

"What, you feel sorry for him?"

"I'm just worried about getting into a murder lawsuit."

"There is no murder case that my Zheng family cannot settle. He is just a dog of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. If I kill him, will the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion still bring an army to accuse me? They dare not! Don't worry, if someone is killed, it's my fault!"

Chu Heyi came around the corner with Baihua and heard Zheng Zhixue's arrogant words.

Her eyes were cold as she watched Ah Man being beaten to a bloody mess, with no idea of ​​whether he was dead or alive. She couldn't control her anger and shouted, "Stop!"

"Hey, where did you come from, little girl? How dare you meddle in my business?" Zheng Zhixue didn't take her seriously and his tone was very provocative.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, people from far and near rushed over, surrounded the Ye family, and watched the fun.

Of course, it was Chu Heyi who sent people to inform these people.

Zheng Zhixue looked unhappy and frowned.

Chu Heyi said coldly: "I am Chu Heyi from Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

Zheng Zhixue was stunned. Was this woman Chu Heyi, who shot and killed his aunt years ago? He felt fearful.

Ah Man was rescued.

Chu Heyi said: "Master Zheng relied on the fact that he was the grandson of the prime minister and was really arrogant. He actually touched someone else's fiancée, and after the incident, he ordered his men to beat Ah Man to death to silence her!

"You'd better pray that Ah Man doesn't die, otherwise I, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, will make you pay for this life!"

"Stop slandering me! Tao'er is not Ah Man's fiancée! She is my concubine who has not yet married into the family. If your servant dares to harass her, why can't I teach him a lesson?"

Chu Heyi raised his eyebrows: "Why isn't she a fiancée? The old lady of the Ye family is holding the 100 taels of betrothal gift given by Ah Man in her arms. What a coincidence, that 100 taels of silver was given to Ah Man by me. He did a good job in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, and the 100 taels of silver was a reward from me to help him get married and start a family.

"The old lady of the Ye family accepted Ah Man's betrothal gift, and Ye Tao'er is Ah Man's fiancée! I heard that the old lady of the Ye family is a scoundrel, so I sprinkled medicine powder on the silver. She has touched the silver. As long as she immerses her hands in water, the water will turn red. This will prove that the silver is Ah Man's betrothal gift to marry Ye Tao'er!"

Bang!

The old lady of the Ye family loosened her hands, and a bundle of silver fell to the ground.

There was a small water tank in the yard. Baihua went forward to fetch a basin of water and pressed the old lady of the Ye family's hands into the water.

"Come and see, the water has turned red." Baihua said.

The people immediately came forward to take a look, and found that the fruit in the basin was really red.

No one knew that there was no medicine powder on the silver, but Baihua's hand had the medicine powder. This was just a temporary plan that Chu Heyi came up with.

The old lady of the Ye family felt guilty and naturally did not dare to defend herself.

Therefore, Ye Tao'er is Ah Man's fiancée, and this is established.

It is a fact that Zheng Zhixue had his hands on Ah Man's fiancée and wanted to beat Ah Man to death.

Therefore, all the people blamed Zheng Zhixue!

"Ah Man's fiancée was touched, and Ah Man was beaten to death. It's too tragic." Chu Heyi said: "Fathers, uncles, brothers and sisters present, do you support Master Zheng kneeling down to apologize to Ah Man?

"Today he took advantage of his power to bully others. Although he hurt someone who had nothing to do with you, if Young Master Zheng does not apologize and refuses to repent, he may touch your wives and daughters in the future! You will be the ones who will be beaten to death!"

"Kneel down! Apologize!!"

Zheng Zhixue's face turned pale and he retreated step by step, but the people spontaneously stepped forward and blocked his way.

"Master Zheng, it's okay if you don't want to apologize. We will meet at the government office and see if your grandfather, the prime minister, will violate the laws of Daqi to save you!"

A powerful and wealthy family like theirs may not want to be shameless, but they still have to have dignity.

Look, Zheng Zhixue’s face was full of panic, but it was too difficult for him to kneel down and apologize to a servant.

Chu Heyi stepped forward and said, "Master Zheng, do you need my help?" She took out her bow and arrow.

Thinking of his aunt who had been shot by this bow and arrow, Zheng Zhixue's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

"It's my fault, I apologize!" His voice was trembling, he was extremely panicked, and he took out a banknote from his pocket: "This is the banknote for Ah Man's treatment of his injuries!"

After saying this, he quickly got up and fled with his men.

Ah Man was carried onto the carriage.

He was beaten all over, with bruises on his face and nose, and was dying, but he still looked at Chu Heyi and said sincerely: "Thank you, Miss."

A Chi from Xining Mountain ran to Chu Heyi with a panicked look and sweat all over his forehead.

"Miss, the government has surrounded Xining Mountain."

Chu Heyi knew that Chu Runxue had taken action.
