He didn't look well, and his words were full of questions. Liu Baoli was a little dissatisfied, "Sir, even if you have a noble status, this is my home, and you are a guest. You can do as you please. I'm having dinner now. What's the matter?

Shouldn’t we talk after dinner?”

Chen Qian was silent and had an argument with Mr. Qi. He was really hungry, so he just shut up and picked up the bowl. Two quarters of an hour later, Chu Yunli stood up to clear away the bowls and chopsticks. Liu Baoli stood up to help. Chen Qian saw him.

, he didn’t do such work, but he felt very uncomfortable just sitting and watching after the meal was finished. He also helped carry it twice, “I remember you have a cook at home.”

Chu Yunli said calmly, "The cook is also celebrating the New Year, so I asked her to cook and then go back."

After such a long time, Chen Qian's anger was much less. The father and daughter sat in the room. He raised his hand to pour the tea and said, "You can say it now, why do you do this?"

Chu Yunli held the tea cup and asked, "I heard that this marriage was decided upon by you and the prefect when they were young?"

Chen Qian was surprised, "It seems you know a lot."

Chu Yunli put down the tea cup, spread her hands and said, "Why else would I deliberately stir up the tea?"

"Did you do it on purpose?" Chen Qian frowned, "This will not do you any good, and it will even implicate me in offending my boss."

"When you made the engagement, neither of you were married. Logically speaking, this marriage should be for me." Chu Yunli looked at him and continued after seeing that he did not refute, "It is also because of this marriage that I was married to someone else.

What a waste, my eldest aunt randomly married a drunkard. If I hadn't been strong enough to find a way to run home, I might have been beaten to death by now, and Baoli... I ran home ten days after we got married, and happened to meet him there.

He has a fever, not to mention hot water and rice, and no one even buys medicine for him. We, brother and sister, have suffered such misery from your wife. If you want to get married, you must first ask me!"

Chen Qian was speechless.

"If my father and mother were still alive at the beginning, and you came to ask me to give up this marriage, I would definitely agree. But because of this, Mrs. Chen killed my father and mother, and almost killed our two siblings. Why should I not interfere?

Yellow?" Chu Yunli took a sip of tea and put down the cup, "Mr. Chen, the person next to her is so vicious, she doesn't care about human lives at all. Aren't you afraid of sleeping next to such a poisonous snake? Mrs. Chen does things

If she is rough, she will be found out sooner or later, aren't you afraid of being implicated by her?"

"I can't defeat you." Chen Qian sighed, "You are too focused on winning and losing. There is a saying that suffering is a blessing. If you don't make Mrs. Zhao angry, my Chen family will be on a higher level, which will also be good for you. Yours

When your younger brothers and sisters have a better future, they will also give you a helping hand."

"The death of my father and mother is between me and Mrs. Chen, and now Mrs. Chen also hates me to the core." In fact, even earlier, the Qi family had already regarded their mother and daughter as a thorn in their side. Chu Yunli said seriously, "Between us

It's impossible to live in peace between time, so words like pulling people out are even funnier."

Chen Qian frowned, "You are too extreme."

Chu Yunli smiled, but it was a sneer, "A girl's family can survive after my experience. There is no way I can't be extreme." Who among the girls today can withstand Liu Baoyan's experience? Many timid girls have been ruined after being ruined.

He was hung with just a rope.

"I'm worried about you." Chen Qian looked at her calm face, feeling a little dazed. The Xiyuan in his memory was also very strong. Finally he sighed, "Qi is a person who is determined to retaliate. He might do something to you. I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect you."

Stay with you." After a pause, "You two, brother and sister, live alone in a courtyard now. It is very dangerous. I will send two guards over tomorrow."

This Chu Yunli did not refuse and sent him away personally.

After the New Year's Eve, Chu Yunli didn't have to go out even if the two guards were there to buy meat and vegetables.

After the New Year, Chu Yunli started to go shopping again, followed by a guard not far or near behind. This time she went to various restaurants to eat, but she deliberately started to inquire about the county magistrate's wife Qi.

As early as two days ago when she was waiting to see Mrs. Zhao, she would listen to it, and she knew the origin of the Qi family.

She was born in the House of Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, which sounds like a very prestigious name, but in fact she was born from a concubine.

After Chu Yunli knew Qi's identity, she became even more calm. There was nothing she could do if she panicked. The most important thing was Liu Baoli.

In a blink of an eye, the day came to take the county examination, and Chu Yunli personally sent Liu Baoli in. He was usually the most serious, and it was Yu Xiucai who agreed to take the county examination, so he passed smoothly and became a Tongsheng.

Government examination.

After the exam was over, the two siblings usually lived in seclusion and did not go out of the city, and no suspicious people were found around them.

Although Qi's words were powerful, Chu Yunli didn't think she could still intervene in the county examination, and she found that Chen Qian was often in a trance when looking at her face, with a look of reminiscence. It seemed that he really had some feelings for Liu Baoyan's mother.

, it just can’t compare to his future.

After discovering this, she changed her mind. Before she came, she was planning to give in a little bit and let Liu Baoli finish the county examination no matter what. But later she found that there was no need to wrong herself. On the contrary, the more aggressive she became, Chen Qian

It seemed that she was treated better there. Maybe Liu Baoyan's mother just looked gentle?

By the time the county test results were released, it was already March. The scenery was just right and the weather was good. Chu Yunli and Liu Baoli went to a restaurant to wait for the results to be released. Many people were discussing the rankings, and students were praising each other. The lobby on the first floor was very lively.

The two siblings went upstairs directly. As soon as they sat down, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Yunli went over to open it and found that it was a girl she had met once, Chen Qian's eldest daughter, Chen Yuqian. Chu Yunli blocked the door and asked, "Is something wrong, girl?"

Chen Yuqian squeezed in, raised her hand and closed the door, "Are you satisfied?"

With these words again, Chu Yunli crossed her arms and said, "What does girl mean?"

Chen Yuqian was furious, "As for the marriage, Brother Jian wrote to me during the Chinese New Year and said that he was engaged. Now my father wants to choose one of these poor scholars for me. Are you satisfied?"

Chu Yunli was speechless, "What does your marriage have to do with me?"

"You are dissatisfied with Brother Jian's engagement to me, so you went to Aunt Zhao and told Aunt Zhao that the marriage couldn't happen, and now I can only marry these poor scholars..." She pointed at Liu Baoli, "I won't do it."

Chu Yunli was a little surprised, "What do you mean?"

Chen Yuqian was so angry that she cried, "Dad said that if he is on the list this time, he will let us get engaged. Last night I heard him and mother quarreling."

Chu Yunli turned around and looked at each other with Liu Baoli.

Chen Qian really took great pains to resolve the conflict between her and the Qi family.

After being surprised, she said seriously, "Don't worry, my brother will definitely not marry you. Even if your father comes, I won't agree."

When these words came out, the girl should have calmed down. Unexpectedly, she burst into tears and stared at Chu Yunli, "What's wrong with me? You still don't look down on me, and I don't look down on you."

After saying that, he opened the door angrily and left.

Neither Chu Yunli nor Liu Baoli took this episode to heart. Just as she said in front of Chen Yuqian, even if Chen Qian came in person, she would not agree to the marriage.

Soon it was noon, and there was a lot of noise upstairs and downstairs. The guard Chen Qian gave him ran back with a happy face, and shouted to the two people at the window while still on the street outside, "I got it, I got it, seventh place."

Liu Baoli stood up excitedly, then slowly sat down and looked at Chu Yunli seriously, "Sister, I succeeded."

Chu Yunli praised sincerely, "It's amazing."

After the exam, there was originally a treat for the county magistrate, but the sister and brother did not stay. They immediately found a carriage, avoided the guards early in the morning, and quietly left the city for Fucheng.

She didn't rest after leaving the city and traveled day and night. Chu Yunli was actually a little worried that someone would catch up later. Qi's methods were ruthless and there was no one to suppress her in the county. If she wanted to deal with her, she had to think of another way.

.

Half a month later, the carriage of the two siblings arrived in Fucheng. It was only less than April and there were still a few months left for the hometown exam. Chu Yunli found a small courtyard to live in again, this time in the back street of the government office.

, it’s lively and prosperous here, but the rent is also expensive.

Liu Baoli was studying at home, while Chu Yunli went to a medical clinic. The medical clinic was a little suspicious that she was a woman and so young. After testing, they still accepted her. There were many wealthy ladies in Fucheng, and many of them didn't like her.

Male doctors, so female doctors are still common, but many female doctors have only average medical skills.

On this day, a woman came to the medical clinic. After entering the door, she glanced around and pointed at Chu Yunli, "Doctor, please come to your home with me."

Chu Yunli packed up the medicine box and followed her out. It was either her own medical clinic or something bad, and she would get a diagnosis if someone pointed it out.

After the mother-in-law took her out, she did not get on the carriage. She walked along the street for a while and took her into the restaurant until she reached the private room on the third floor. After entering, Chu Yunli discovered that she was an acquaintance—Mrs. Zhao.

When Mrs. Zhao saw her coming in, she smiled and waved to her, "Come here and sit down."

Chu Yunli bowed slightly, walked to sit opposite her, and the mother-in-law beside her poured tea for her.

Mrs. Zhao smiled kindly and said, "I'm not asking you for medical treatment. I left in a hurry earlier and before I had time to thank you, I knew that your siblings would come to Fucheng."

"No, it's really here, and it's here so fast." She teased, "Counting the time, it seems that it's here right after the results are announced?"

"I don't dare to stay in the county town for too long." Chu Yunli said calmly, "The county magistrate's wife hates me to the core. If Master Chen hadn't found a guard, she would have had someone come to visit me."

This is really not a lie.

The two guards given by Chen Qian were not necessarily good at martial arts, but they more represented his attitude of protecting his sister and brother. If the Qi family still took action, then the couple would be at odds with each other.

.

Mrs. Zhao sighed, "I didn't know she was such a cruel person earlier, but luckily I met you."

Chu Yunli said sternly, "I want to sue her! For her own selfish desires, she ordered people to kill my parents. She ordered my eldest aunt to let people rape me first, and then coaxed me into marrying the abuser, deliberately abusing me.

My younger brother almost died because of his illness."

Seeing her serious expression, Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, "Are you serious? Do you know what's behind her..."

Chu Yunli looked serious, "My father and mother must seek justice from her no matter what. I will go to the government office later to hand over the petition to Mr. Zhao."

Mrs. Zhao was silent, tapping her fingers on the table, as if she was deep in thought. After a while, she said, "You have to think about it yourself."

In fact, Chu Yunli did not plan to file a lawsuit now at first. After all, Liu Baoli still had to take the provincial examination. If Mr. Zhao wanted to protect her, the case would be easily confused and it would also affect Liu Baoli.

Today, Mrs. Zhao invited her over to express her gratitude. This gratitude should not be fake. You should know that if a lady of this status is not really grateful, there is no need to test her personally.

Since she is happy not to marry the Qi family, it proves that Mrs. Zhao has no good impression of the Qi family.

Furthermore, Mr. Zhao has an excellent reputation in the city. He is said to be fair and honest. As a fourth-grade magistrate, he is willing to marry a seventh-grade magistrate just for the original promise. His character is mediocre, judging from Mrs. Zhao's behavior.

She is generous, and even comes to express her gratitude in person after receiving her prescription... From all indications, it seems that she is not showing any favoritism.

Chu Yunli never thought about asking someone to take revenge for her after doing a lot of help to others, as long as she could deal with it fairly.

The next morning, she took the petition and knelt at the door of the government office, just waiting for Mr. Zhao to come and deliver the petition. Not long after she knelt down, more and more people were watching, and suddenly there was another person with her.

Kneeling, Chu Yunli turned her head in surprise and saw Liu Baoli. Seeing her looking over, she showed her white teeth and said, "Sister, how could you not call me?"
