Qin Zhenzhen’s anger turned into frustration, and she laughed bitterly. Raising the stick, she swung it at the man who pretended to be her brother.
“How dare you impersonate my brother and spread lies! I’ll teach you a lesson!” she exclaimed furiously.
“No one believes you! I am not his sister!” she continued, trying to clarify the situation. “I didn’t elope either. He is my husband!”
“They are a gang that kidnaps girls!” she cried out, hoping to expose their true intentions.
However, the onlookers didn’t take her seriously, as the man who claimed to be her brother didn’t dispute her accusations and merely cried out in a pitiful manner.
“Sister, please stop hitting me. My head will break!” he pleaded dramatically.
“Sister, no one will believe you. If it were a gang kidnapping girls, they wouldn’t have chosen a chubby girl like you…” the onlookers teased, finding the situation amusing and refusing to believe Qin Zhenzhen’s claims.
In the modern era, few people would suspect a man so easily, let alone in the ancient era, where people were generally more trusting and naive.
The man covered his head, trying to evade Qin Zhenzhen’s blows, and angrily threatened, “Since you refuse to acknowledge me as your brother, I’ll knock you out and take you home!”
His companions rushed forward in support of him, believing it to be a family dispute and merely watching the commotion. Even the guards present didn’t intervene.
Qin Zhenzhen realized that these men were from the Jiang Family in the capital and were skilled in martial arts. She understood that she couldn’t handle them on her own. If they managed to drag her onto their wagon, she would be in grave danger.
Su Bin, being a weak scholar, could not be helpful in the face of the danger surrounding Qin Zhenzhen. He knew he couldn’t physically defend her, but he refused to stand idly by.
Despite his anxiety, he recognized that intervening directly might put Qin Zhenzhen at risk too. Instead, he tried to buy time until Qin Silong arrived to help.
In a desperate attempt to expose the truth about the Jiang Family, Su Bin bravely asked, “Are you from the Jiang Family in the capital?”
The men were taken aback by his question and quickly denied it, cursing him for talking nonsense.
Undeterred, Su Bin raised his voice even louder, hoping to draw attention to their deceit. “That’s strange! If you’re not from the Jiang Family in the capital, then you must be fake criminals!”
However, few people paid attention to what Su Bin was saying. Most candidates were preoccupied with their own rankings and whether they made it onto the list, especially the top positions.
Conversations among the candidates filled the air.
“I didn’t make it this year. I need to work harder next year!”
“I wonder which county the winner is from?”
Someone answered. “It is Su Bin from the Qian Village in Dahe Town!”
“I heard that he is ranked first in the county examination!”
“That is so cool!”
“I would like to meet you in person!”
Hearing that, Su Bin was overjoyed.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhenzhen’s heart raced with mixed emotions. The news about Su Bin’s top ranking had already spread, but her Fourth Brother had not returned yet. She began to worry that he might have been intercepted and delayed by the kidnappers.
She was waving the stick anxiously when Su Bin shouted.
“Everyone, I am Su Bin! I am ranked first! Someone is trying to kidnap my wife, please help me!”
That worked. The candidates surrounded them.
“Which one is Su Bin? Let me see if he has three heads and six arms!” “He is so handsome!”
“More importantly, he is not very old, and he is still a young man!”
