ry big.""This is also to ensure everyone's safety while digging the canal. I'll ask again, does anyone volunteer to join the patrol"After all, it was a life-threatening matter, and he couldn't force t...As soon as Fang Jinshi said this, the person who was pouring him wine immediately changed color.

Liu Yuanwai's smile also faded, it seemed this Fang Jinshu was indeed not an easy person to deal with.

Don't let her delicate appearance fool you, she has a strong and protective personality.

"What Madam Zong said is also true."

"Indeed, it was an oversight on our Liu family's part."

There were seventeen or eighteen gentry, big and small, in Lisui Town. Liu Yuanwai was the most unique among them.

He wasn't the richest, but he was the one everyone in town was most reluctant to cross.

Seeing that Liu Yuanwai's expression had changed, the person who was offering alcohol immediately restrained himself. Just moments ago, he had been whispering insincerely and sarcastically in front of Fang Jinshu, but now, after being glared at by Liu Yuanwai, he bowed his head repeatedly and apologized to Fang Jinshu and the others.

"Please forgive me, Mistress! Forgive me!"

"Today, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have given your husband so much alcohol, making him this drunk."

"And what's more, I'm not known for being particularly eloquent. Take a look at my mouth—it doesn't exactly have the gift of gab."

"I, I'll hit it a few times to let you vent your anger, as an apology to the both of you."

After saying that, he slapped himself hard on the mouth several times, turning the skin around his mouth red.

The lively wedding banquet fell silent as everyone's attention turned to their table.

Fang Jinxiu wasn't afraid of being watched at all. She gave a faint hum, then turned her head to look at Liu Yuanwai.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu."

"Let me take my husband down to sober up first."

Mr. Liu nodded and beckoned to his servants, "Take the two distinguished guests downstairs to rest first."

Fang Jinshi supported Zongyu and followed the servants.

As Zong Yu passed by the person who was being plied with alcohol, the spiritual spring water he had drunk seemed to have a sobering effect. Though not completely cured, he understood that he had been tricked into drinking.

He suddenly turned around, grabbed the man's collar, and lifted him up with too much force.

Zongyu's actions took everyone at the wedding by surprise.

"My goodness, this is so popular!"

He actually lifted Li Jiu up with one hand.

"Li Jiu, that scoundrel, has finally met his match this time. He's always gotten away with being arrogant and causing trouble, taking advantage of his sister-in-law being the most favored concubine of Liu Yuanwai."

"Now we finally met two people who can take him down."

"Didn't you notice, even Liu Yuanwai isn't behaving as usual with Li Jiu this time"

Fan Jinshu heard everyone's words and realized that the man before him was Liu Yuanwai's concubine's brother.

No wonder he could sit at the main table and eat and drink for free.

Li Jiu was used to causing trouble in town, but this time he kicked an iron plate. He met a couple who were even more unruly than him. The woman was quick with her words, and the man's strength was simply unbelievable.

He immediately cowered and begged for mercy.

"Big brother, big brother please spare me this time, I won't dare to pour you alcohol again next time, I swear!"

"I'm sorry, please forgive me! Don't hit me, please, I beg you!"

Li Jiu still secretly looked towards Liu Yuanwai's side, "Brother-in-law, please save me."

Mr. Liu was utterly embarrassed. Liu Qi, just having come from his sister's side of the front hall, immediately witnessed this scene.

"Brother, what's going on here"

When he saw who Zong Yu was holding, his face immediately turned ugly.

"Who let Li Jiu in"

No one dared to speak, Liu Yuanwai let out a heavy sigh.

"Uncle, today is Xiaoru's big day. What brings you here"

Liu Yuanwai was also angry, "It wasn't me who brought him here, he himself insisted on sneaking in."

Zong Yu was still holding onto Li Jiu, refusing to let go. Fang Jinxiu didn't intervene either, letting this Li Jiu experience some hardship was good, so that he wouldn't be arrogant and think he could bully anyone in the world.

Li Jiu was still being held by the collar, lifted high, and he had been choked so badly that he couldn't breathe.

"Brother-in-law, save me!"

Liu Qi rushed to Fang Jinxiu's side, "Miss Zong, for my sake, could you please ask Zong Yu brother to send the person down first"

"Making a scene in front of relatives and friends is not a good look."

Fang Jinshi smiled, "No problem, my husband and I don't want to cause a scene either."

"Since neither you nor Mr. Liu are willing to help discipline this Li Jiu, then we shall take him out and discipline him ourselves."

"Absolutely will not cause any trouble at your wedding."

There's no actual action, just empty words trying to downplay the situation. She saved face for the Liu family, but who saved face for them as a couple

"Aiyu, let's take this person out and teach them a lesson. We can't let others think that we outsiders are pushovers who can be bullied."r"“She beat me up like this and I’m still apologizing to her!”Mr. Liu, annoyed, gestured to the guards on both sides, signaling them to apprehend and bring in the person.Fang Jianren struggled despera...
