The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2382: Beating (Part 2)

A faint smile touched Guan Qingshu's lips as he observed Yang Ruxin's retreating figure. "Xinxin, I will never become your enemy!" he vowed silently.

"Brother." Guan Qingyue emerged, her gaze falling upon her brother lost in thought, watching Yang Ruxin's back. The composure she had intended to maintain shattered, and she couldn't help but let out a cry, "What love potion did that Yang Ruxin give you? You..."

Yang Ruxin, being pregnant with what she suspected were triplets, had a slightly slower gait, even though her condition wasn't yet obvious. She had only taken a handful of steps when Guan Qingyue's sharp voice reached her, causing her to halt abruptly.

Guan Qingshu's expression darkened, finding his sister's increasingly unreasonable behavior exasperating. "What nonsense are you spouting?" he demanded.

"How am I talking nonsense?" Guan Qingyue felt her accusation was justified. "Dare you deny thinking about her? She's a married woman, a disgrace..."

Smack!

The sharp retort was met with a swift slap, sending Guan Qingyue stumbling back. She landed on the ground, stunned by the blow. As she opened her mouth to wail, she spat out a mouthful of blood, realizing with a jolt that a tooth had been dislodged.

Du Juan, having delivered the blow, returned to Yang Ruxin's side as if nothing had occurred.

"This single slap might save your Guan Family from impending disaster, so consider yourself fortunate," Yang Ruxin stated calmly. "Guan Qingyue, I have saved countless individuals, both righteous and wicked, without a shred of regret. However, you are the one person I most regret having saved." Her gaze drifted to Guan Qingshu's face. "One final reminder: it's fortunate you currently hold no official position; otherwise..." A slight smile played on her lips as she departed, leaving her words unspoken.

An understanding passed between the intelligent individuals; Guan Qingshu grasped Yang Ruxin's unspoken meaning perfectly. If he held an official post, his sister's reckless and ill-informed pronouncements could easily land him in severe trouble at any moment.

With the street bustling with people, the scene did not go unnoticed. Onlookers nearby began to point and whisper amongst themselves.

Guan Qingshu closed his eyes for a brief moment before turning back to his sister. His gaze was devoid of warmth, chillingly cold. Without a word, he simply turned and walked away.

"Brother..." Guan Qingyue's face was grotesquely swollen, resembling a steamed bun. She had expected her brother to defend her, but his complete disregard for her plight left her feeling deeply wronged. Tears began to stream down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

"What is happening here?" Guan Danian and his wife, who were nearby paying New Year's visits, rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Guan Tongshi stepped forward to help her daughter stand. "Who struck you?"

"It was that Yang Rusong, that bitch..."

Smack!

As Guan Qingyue was about to finish her venomous accusation, Guan Qingshu strode back a few paces and delivered another resounding slap to her face.

"This..." Guan Danian frowned, looking at his son in disbelief. "What are you doing?"

"Father, Mother," Guan Qingshu sneered. "Yang Ruxin holds the esteemed rank of third-rank Madam Ruyi. Even Prefectural Magistrate Da Ren must show her deference, and the commandery princesses within the Imperial Family do not outrank her. While her husband bravely fights on the front lines, risking his life for the empire, Guan Qingyue dared to call her a bitch. This is not merely an insult to an Imperial Madam, but an act of treason, disrespecting imperial authority itself. Do you comprehend the penalty for such a transgression? The execution of the entire family!"
