When Zhang Jinghong was worrying about his nephew's future on the boat, he completely forgot that there were people in Nandu City who were eagerly waiting for him to save them.

This person is Zhenniang’s husband, Qiao Shiyou.

When he didn't see anyone from the Zhang family coming within the three-day period agreed upon with Zhang Jinghong, he was already extremely anxious.

Waited for several more days.

During these few days, he was beaten and punished by Zhenniang every day.

If you get up a little late in the morning, you will be beaten. If you slack off in studying, you will be beaten. If you eat in the wrong posture, you will be beaten. If you go to bed early, you will be beaten.

He could no longer count how many times he was whipped every day. He could only endure it miserably, secretly hoping that Lord Zhang would come to rescue him as soon as possible and wipe out the arrogant and vicious Qin family so that he could take revenge.

However, after six or seven days, no one from the Zhang family came. The Qin family replaced Mrs. Qin, who was in charge, and she still dominated the Qiao family and tortured them.

Qiao's father and mother could no longer sit still, so they sneaked into Qiao's teacher's room that night, wanting to discuss a countermeasure with their son.

"Son, why hasn't Mr. Zhang come to rescue us yet..."

Just as I started to say this, there was a loud bang from the door, and Zhenniang broke in, banging her whip.

The three of them were so scared that they subconsciously took a few steps back, especially Master Qiao, who was covered in wounds and accidentally fell to the ground.

After being tortured by Zhen Niang for so many days, he has begun to fear Zhen Niang as a conditioned reflex.

Zhenniang sneered and looked down at the three people:

"You are still dreaming. I will tell you the truth. Lord Zhang has already left Nandu and took everyone from the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion with him!

These words were like a bolt from the blue to the three members of the Qiao family.

"Impossible! How could Lord Zhang and the Jingnan Marquis's Mansion leave when Master Pei hasn't even been cured!"

"Of course they left after they were cured. Jingnan Bo went to Cihang Temple in person to apologize with a sincere attitude. The temple master has already forgiven them."

As she spoke, Zhenniang deliberately glanced at Teacher Qiao.

His face suddenly showed a look of unwillingness to accept reality:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There is a grudge between the two sides, it is impossible to resolve it peacefully! You must be lying to me!"

Zhenniang smiled sarcastically:

"What's impossible about this? My father went to report the matter to the abbot and pleaded for mercy. The abbot asked Jingnan Marquis's mansion to negotiate with her. After they apologized, the abbot agreed to treat Young Master Pei."

In this way, he completely skipped over the Qin family and Mr. Qiao, and he had no reason at all to take credit from Lord Zhang.

That's why Lord Zhang never sent anyone to look for him again.

His path to success was cut off by Qin Dafu's family!

Teacher Qiao couldn't bear the blow, his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he stood up angrily and rushed directly towards Zhenniang:

"You bitch, you've ruined my future, I'm going to kill you!"

However, before he could pounce on anyone, Zhenniang kicked him in the stomach and sent him flying two meters away.

"what!"

Teacher Qiao covered his aching stomach and broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhenniang did not give him any time to react. She walked up to him and started whipping him all over the face with the whip.

Beating and scolding:

"I thought you had changed your ways after all these days of teaching you with great patience, but you were just pretending to be nice to me! And you dared to call me to death today! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I won't be named Qin!"

Teacher Qiao was beaten to the point of rolling on the ground, screaming in pain.

"Teacher and friend!"

Seeing this, Qiao's father and mother were heartbroken, and their hopes were dashed. They were furious and without thinking for a moment, they rushed towards Zhenniang who was beating people.

"Bitch, you deserve to die..."

However, before he could get close to Zhenniang, he was thrown to the ground from behind by strong servants, and his mouth was blocked and he was held down tightly to prevent him from saying anything that would upset the young lady.

So, once again, the two of them could only watch Teacher Qiao being beaten, crying out in pain, tears streaming down their cheeks, and in the end, they could only keep begging Zhenniang for mercy.

Zhenniang was tired of beating him, and Qiao Shiyou's voice was hoarse from crying, so they stopped.

He threw the whip into the servant's arms and ordered in a domineering manner:

"Don't let them eat today. Let them wake up their brains!"

Teacher Qiao was covered in wounds. He was locked in the room for a day and a night, feeling painful and hungry. Finally, he had to face reality.

Sir Zhang had official business to attend to, and if he had been any later, the Grand Canal would have frozen over before he could reach the capital.

Therefore, even if Lord Zhang failed to cure his nephew, he had to hurry back to Beijing.

The Qin family was not in any trouble at all. Instead, they could continue to torture their family with impunity. His mother-in-law was in a very good mood the whole time, and her relaxed and leisurely look was enough to prove that the grudge between Cihang Temple and Jingnan Marquis' Mansion had been resolved.

Otherwise, if Cihang Temple really blindly rejected the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion, the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion would definitely not let it go, and the Qin family, as devout believers of Cihang Temple, would not be able to be so at ease.

Everything Qin Zhenniang said is true!

No matter how reluctant he is, he has to face reality.

Now if he wants to escape from the Qin family, he can only rely on himself!

After thinking hard for a whole night, he finally came up with a solution.

He wrote a letter asking for help, and when the people sent by Zhenniang to guard him were not paying attention, he gave it to his parents and asked them to find a thin servant to send the letter out without anyone noticing.

At critical moments, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao can still be relied upon.

He took a lot of silver and sent the smallest servant of the Qiao family. He took advantage of the Qin family's guards' unpreparedness, sneaked out through a dog hole in the Qin family's backyard, and delivered the letter for help given by Qiao's teacher to Ran Shichu, his friend whom he met at the poetry meeting.

The reason why Teacher Qiao chose this man was naturally because he was passionate, impulsive, had a sense of justice, and had many friends in the city.

This person lived up to the expectations of his teacher and friend Qiao. After reading the letter for help, he flew into a rage:

"A mere merchant family is so arrogant that they even imprisoned and beat up a scholar! I will make them lose their reputation and put them in jail!"

It only took Ran Shichu one day to gather a large group of scholars, who knocked on the door and shouted at the Qiao residence.

Early in the morning of the third day, the Qin family's servants came to report in a panic.

"Madam, Miss, it's bad. Dozens of scholars have come to the door and are waving their arms and shouting, asking us to hand over Mr. Qiao's family!"

"If you don't open the door, they might break in!"

Teacher Qiao, who was being forced by Zhenniang to study, suddenly had a flash of joy in his eyes.

Qiao's father and mother were even more delighted when they heard this:

"Great! Our reinforcements are here!"

"Your Qin family is finished today!"

Zhenniang looked at the three villains with disdain. Although she accidentally sent Teacher Qiao out to find reinforcements, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and the matter will leak out sooner or later.

Did they think that she didn't have a perfect response strategy since she dared to treat Teacher Qiao like this?

Taoist Master Huiyun had taught her this a long time ago!

"Okay, then I'll go meet these reinforcements!"

As he said this, he ordered the servants to watch over the Qiao couple and not let them come out. Madam Qin heard the noise and wanted to go with them, but was stopped by Zhen Niang.

"Mom, I can do it myself, trust me."

Faced with her daughter's firm gaze, Mrs. Qin felt inexplicably relieved and decided to trust her daughter once and let her face it and grow up on her own.

Zhenniang waved her hand and ordered:

"Take Teacher Qiao, gag him, tie him up, and put him behind the gate."

She wanted this despicable and shameless villain, Mr. Qiao, to hear with his own ears how she would block all his ways out.
