With a single command from Zhang Wuliang, several strong men took out specially made boards, and the sound of the boards striking flesh echoed in people's hearts.
Wang's family and Li cried out in agony, beads of sweat the size of beans trickling down their hair in the winter chill, while bright red blood quickly soaked through their thick cotton pants.
Until their throats became hoarse and they could no longer scream.
Finally, after endless torment, the punishment came to an end. Li and the others could no longer hold on; their heads suddenly drooped as they fell into an abyss of darkness.
The Qin Family hurried forward, struggling to support Liu Eldest's body. "Old man, come help quickly!"
Even if he was useless, he was still their child, and the Qin Family felt the most heartache.
As for Wang? Usually so arrogant, with the Qin Family focused entirely on their sons, how could they care about her? It was Liu Qingshu and his brother who couldn't bear to see it and temporarily took her back home.
The remaining two were not as fortunate as these two families. Zhang Erdan was somewhat better off as the head of his household; no matter how much Tian hated him inside, he had to take him back.
As for Zhang Gaoliang? The woman he had cherished in his palm had brought him disgrace this time. The honest man was filled with rage and wished he could strike her a few more times; how could he possibly care for her?
In front of the village chief and other villagers, he glared fiercely at the woman on the ground. "Chief, this woman will no longer be my wife. I don't want a mother for my child who is so promiscuous. Everyone bear witness; I want to divorce this woman."
Thus, Li, the woman who destroyed two families and ruined her own, was expelled from her home by the man who had once doted on her after suffering severe injuries.
After a few kind-hearted people placed her in a dilapidated temple, she woke up to find the divorce letter on her chest and fainted again from shock.
Later, her family quickly came to take her away. As for her future path, it seemed she soon married a widower; that is another story. From then on, Li disappeared from the sight of the people of Shili Pu Village.
Resolving the matters concerning the Wang family and others, the rumors surrounding Village have finally revealed the truth: Liu Qingxi was completely framed.
Those who previously spoke ill of Liu Qingxi were left embarrassed and no longer dared to approach her for work arrangements. People increasingly believed in the saying that those who trust Liu Qingxi will surely reap unexpected rewards.
After all the commotion over these days, Ten Li Pu finally returned to its usual tranquility. As for the previous rumors, she did not make a point to explain; those who are clear will remain clear. No matter how much is said, those who do not trust you will still not trust you.
Through this incident, her relationship with Yang Yichen grew even stronger. Especially with the Wen Family, they felt both pity and affection for Liu Qingxi; such a girl is truly worth cherishing.
"Yichan, I’ve asked a matchmaker these past few days. Let’s settle the marriage arrangements quickly so that no one can say anything."
Yang Yichen was astonished, followed by overwhelming joy. "Really, Mother? You don’t mind?"
The Wen Family chuckled, "I’ve been watching Qingxi; how could I not understand her character? Do you think your mother is an old fool easily deceived?"
The mother and son exchanged smiles, undeterred by the rumors that could have created a rift between them; this is true familial affection.
If it were ordinary people, they might have stubbornly refused to accept a girl like Liu Qingxi.
As time passed, people's enthusiasm for this matter faded along with occasional explanations from Shili Pu Village, until no one mentioned it again.
When rumors were rampant and dark clouds loomed overhead, they gradually dissipated, allowing clarity to emerge.
Unbeknownst to Liu Qingxi, Yang Family's mother and son quietly prepared for the upcoming proposal, determined to give this wonderful girl a surprise.
What was Liu Qingxi doing? She was leisurely spending her winter days with two maidservants. Besides teaching her two younger cousins some knowledge, they were trying various delicious foods.
A few days later, there was a fresh new activity, and the two maids were busy with it.
The weather grew colder day by day, and a thin layer of ice formed on the river behind the village, gradually thickening until it seemed to swallow clouds and exhale mist. People became increasingly lazy and reluctant to go out.
At this time, Liu Qingyan's studies for the year had come to a temporary halt, waiting for the warmer weather next year to resume school.
Unlike student life in her previous life, in this era, in Linyi County, the winter vacation lasted at least two months.
Due to heavy snow blocking the roads and the cold weather making travel unsuitable, schools closed according to the weather conditions. Families with better conditions would hire a tutor for their children.
This year, Liu Qingxi had such plans.
Although Liu Qingyan was young, she was quite clever. However, sometimes being overly protected made her a bit spoiled. Having someone supervise her was certainly better; it was just that finding a suitable tutor was still uncertain.
In the morning, Liu Qingxi stepped onto a spot where water had been splashed the night before. The hard ice caused her to slip slightly, and she almost fell. With a lingering fear, she patted her chest and sighed, "Isn't it too cold here?"
Despite having experienced life last year, she still found this year's winter somewhat difficult to adapt to.
"Spring Rain, Summer Lotus, hurry up and prepare something to eat. After we finish eating, we'll go to Biqi Town to pick up Yan."
However, looking at the empty courtyard, Liu Qingxi's face darkened.
After being busy for so long, she had actually forgotten about their mode of transportation. Yang Yichen always arranged everything properly; they almost always used the Yang Family carriage for outings. Looking at her own courtyard, it was clear that this essential item for daily life was indeed missing.
"It seems I should get a carriage today." Having her own would be more convenient.
She was afraid that using Yang Yichen's carriage would become a habit, as if she had been subtly influenced by the young man, losing much of her ability to think for herself.
It was also because Yang Yichen was around, able to take care of every little detail, such as sending a carriage when she went out, following her into town, or buying groceries and bringing some back for her.
Even the two maids at home were sent by the Wen Family.
Unknowingly, the Yang Family mother and son had quietly seeped into her life.
An hour and a half later, in Biqi Town.
On the street, three young girls walked side by side. The one in the middle was tall and wore a bright smile, while the two on either side were dressed similarly to maids, but their attire was not quite that of typical servants; they looked more like sisters but with an obvious air of respect.
The girl on the left, dressed in green, chirped, "Miss, what shall we buy?"
The three were here to pick up Liu Qingyan for her break, along with Liu Qingxi and Chunyu Summer Lotus.
Although the two maids had come from the Yang Family and had lived in town for many years, their trips to the market were few and far between, as if they were birds trapped in a cage, confined to one place and drifting through their days in a daze.
Only upon arriving at Ten Li Pu and standing beside Liu Qingxi did they finally shake off their confused state.
