Three Years (18)

Aunt Xiang helped Cui Rong back into bed. She then left quickly, afraid that the Li family would be unhappy if they found out that she had blurted out this information. That would be horrible.

Though the Li family was not considered to be very powerful, to the villagers, they were like huge monsters. How could a normal citizen expect to dispute with them? That would be digging their own grave!

Not too long after Aunt Xiang had left, a group of people entered the home. The leader of the group was the Young Master of the Li family, Li Ying.

"Cui Rong, have you considered it? Hand Que'er over to me and I will send someone to give you medical treatment!"

Li Ying looked at Cui Rong arrogantly as if he was doing her a huge favor by being charitable.

"Young Master Li, I've told you this, Que'er has recognized someone from the First City as her Master. She can't go back on her word. I'd like you to leave, Young Master Li."
