Liu Shun did not expect Chu Yan to hit him.

The punch hit his leg like a piece of iron. He felt that the flesh on his leg was about to be turned into meat paste.

Liu Shun didn’t know if Chu Yan did it on purpose, but he didn’t break his bone.

What would happen if that punch broke his bone? Liu Shun shuddered. He did not dare to think about it. He would definitely be crippled.

Liu Shun didn’t expect that Chu Yan had taken a fancy to Liu Sanniang as well.

He was just a poor blacksmith covered in smelly sweat. How could he be worthy of Liu Sanniang!

Liu Shun was angry and in pain. At the thought of Chu Yan’s future identity, he hated him to the core.

Liu Sanniang was his. He definitely wouldn’t let Chu Yan take her away. If he had to, he would kill Liu Sanniang just so Chu Yan couldn’t get her!

If he couldn’t have her, no one could.

After obtaining the memories of his entire life in his dream, he was not afraid of Chu Yan.

Liu Shun’s scream had already attracted someone. The person took the sack off Liu Shun’s head and said in surprise, “Mr. Liu, why are you here?”

Liu Shun’s face twisted in pain. “Someone was jealous of me and hit me.”

“Mr. Liu, did you see who attacked you?”

Attacking a scholar was a crime. The scholar was knowledgeable. What if he injured his brain? Liu Shun was still so young. His future was definitely bright. Who was so bold to hit the scholar?

Liu Shun pursed his lips. “It was too dark. I didn’t see who it was, but he was tall and very strong!”

At the thought of being hit by Chu Yan, Liu Shun was indignant. However, he did not say it was Chu Yan who hit him because he knew that it was useless.

Without any evidence, there was nothing he could do to punish Chu Yan.

“It’d be hard to find the assailant if you didn’t see him.”

This time, Liu Shun was pretty much beaten up for nothing.

He broke out in cold sweat from the pain and said with difficulty, “Please send me to the clinic first. Thank you.”

He just wanted to go to the clinic to get checked. He didn’t want to end up being a cripple.

“Okay, okay.”

They helped Liu Shun up and carried him to the clinic.

When they arrived at the clinic, the rest of the people left.

The doctor examined Liu Shun and was a little surprised. “Your injury…”

Liu Shun’s face turned pale. “What’s wrong? I can’t become a cripple!”

Chu Yan was very strong. Although his punch did not hit the bone, it was no guarantee that it did not hurt the tendons on his leg. Liu Shun was a little nervous.

The doctor shook his head. “It’s fine. It’s just a flesh wound. You’ll recover after a few days of rest. It’s just that you’ll be in pain.”

Liu Shun was in disbelief. “I’m fine? But I’m in so much pain that I can’t even walk!”

The doctor looked at Liu Shun and said, “Well, the person who injured you probably didn’t want to really hurt you. He just wanted you to feel the pain.”

Liu Shun gritted his teeth, swearing to himself that he would make Chu Yan regret what he did.

Liu Shun’s eyes darkened.

The doctor had already grabbed some medicine for him. “Take one every day.”

Liu Shun tried to move slightly and felt a piercing pain running through his body. Immediately, cold sweat broke out, and he did not dare to move at all.

Eventually, he found someone to carry him back.

Madam Wei agreed to Liu Sanniang’s request, so she asked for a day’s leave the next day.

She went to see Madam Bai.

Madam Bai opened the door and saw Madam Wei. Her smile was a little forced and her tone was cold. “What are you doing here?”

Madam Wei glanced at Madam Bai. “I have something to tell you.”

Madam Bai curled her lips. “Come in and talk. I still have something to do. So, cut to the chase.”

Madam Wei did not enter the courtyard. “Then I’ll get straight to the point. Liu Shun is not a good person. You need to reconsider your daughter’s marriage.”

As soon as Madam Wei finished speaking, Madam Bai almost flew into a rage. She looked at Madam Wei, wanting to see jealousy or other expressions on her face. However, she was disappointed. Madam Wei was expressionless.

Madam Bai calmed herself down. “What evidence do you have for saying that Liu Shun is not a good person? Don’t tell me that you’re unwilling to accept the fact that Yinniang has a good marriage and Sanniang doesn’t. You don’t want my family to have what your family can’t have, right?”

The more Madam Bai thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

How could Liu Shun be a bad person? He was knowledgeable and generous. He was also good-looking and gentle. Madam Wei must have been envious and wanted to destroy this marriage.

Madam Bai’s expression turned cold.

Madam Wei looked at her and knew that she was overthinking. She said flatly, “You can’t judge a book by its cover. Just think carefully.”

When Madam Wei thought of what Liu Sanniang said, her heart turned cold. Liu Shun was only in his early twenties, but he was as deceiving as an old fox. After doing a horrendous thing, he could still pretend nothing happened. This was what was terrifying.

Madam Bai was furious. “What nonsense. I think you’re just jealous. If Liu Shun marries a girl from another family, will you still tell them he’s not a good person?”

Madam Wei frowned. “I don’t have that much time.”

She couldn’t be bothered with people who wanted to push their daughter into the fire pit.

Madam Bai snorted. “As expected.”

“Bai Xiaolan (Madam Bai), I know that you helped my family few days ago. Yinniang is also a member of the Liu clan. I can’t watch you push her into the fire. Let me tell you the truth. The last time the mortuary burned down, it was Liu Shun who instructed Liu Cheng to do it. He even instructed Liu Cheng to kill his wife. What do you think will happen if your daughter marries that kind of man? Think carefully.”

After saying that, Madam Wei turned around and left.

Madam Bai was stunned. She looked at Madam Wei’s back and stammered. “Wei Shiyu (Madam Wei), stop. Explain what you just said!”

Madam Bai felt like her mind was in a mess. She was shocked by what Madam Wei had told her.

The terrific son-in-law that she was satisfied with was actually an evil person.

Madam Wei did not even turn around. It was not like she had plenty of time to waste. Anyway, she had already said what she needed to say. It was none of her business as to how Madam Bai decided.

If Madam Bai still wanted to marry Liu Yinniang to Liu Shun in the end, she had no opinion on it. After all, everyone had the right to choose.
