Obviously, Fang Pingjue had not been joking. He sent someone to investigate the matter that very night.
Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng returned to their house. Qiao Jiusheng told Fang Yusheng everything that had happened. After explaining all that, she asked him, “What should Qingqing do?”
Instead of answering her question, Fang Yusheng said, “Aunt Jin, bring me the medicinal wine.”
He pressed Qiao Jiusheng onto the sofa again.
Aunt Jin brought over the medicinal wine, listened to Fang Yusheng’s instructions, then returned to her room.
Fang Yusheng opened his eyes.
He saw the small bump on his wife’s forehead, and his face turned cold. “If anyone hits you in the future, will you hit them back?”
Qiao Jiusheng smiled and asked, “If your father hits me?”
“…” Fang Yusheng thought for a while and said, “Then run.”
Qiao Jiusheng burst out laughing. “You’re so filial.”
Fang Yusheng said, “It’s not that I’m filial, but rather, you can’t beat him. Since you can’t win, run. Don’t suffer too much.”
“Your father will be sad to hear this.”
Fang Yusheng remained silent.
He rubbed her forehead for a long time, then pulled up her clothes. As he stared at the bruises on her waist. his eyes flashed with heartache, but there was more warmth. This was evidence that she protected him.
It was like a photo that could be used as memory.
“Does it hurt?” Fang Yusheng rubbed her waist, and Qiao Jiusheng immediately grimaced.
“Of course, it hurts.”
Fang Yusheng suddenly asked again, “Did it hurt the first time we met?”
Qiao Jiusheng was momentarily stunned, then realized that he was referring to the two whips.
Her expression immediately darkened.
“Do you think it hurts? Even if it hit a pig, it’d still hurt, let alone me.” Qiao Jiusheng pointed at her waist and proudly said, “My skin is fair and tender, so I can’t take a beating.”
Fang Yusheng touched her skin and smiled.
“Yes, it’s quite white. Like a pig.” A pig’s skin was indeed quite fair.
Qiao Jiusheng glared at him.
Fang Yusheng knew when to stop. He massaged her waist and thought of the question she had asked. “If that man is of equal social status, then Qingqing will most likely marry him. If he’s a poor lad, I’m afraid…”
Fang Yusheng’s words were very conservative, but Qiao Jiusheng was also a lady from a wealthy family. Therefore, she naturally understood what he meant.
If the child’s father was a boy of equal social status, Fang Pingjue would definitely let his daughter and that boy get married no matter what. Even if the boy was young, they would get engaged. However, if he was a poor boy, Fang Pingjue would probably not let him off easy.
Qiao Jiusheng added, “I’m quite worried about Qingqing.”
Fang Yusheng did not say anything. He was actually a little worried about Fang Yuqing too.
This matter had suddenly been exposed in front of everyone. No one knew if Fang Yuqing could withstand it.

The next day, Jiang Wei took a car to the school. Just as he got out of the car, he saw Fang Yu’an leaning against the locust tree at the school entrance. Jiang Wei was on good terms with Fang Yu’an. He walked over and asked him, “Brother An, are you not going to class today?”
Fang Yu’an was in university. So him coming to the middle school entrance meant something was going on.
Fang Yu’an looked worried. He gazed at Jiang Wei and asked, “Jiang Wei, are we brothers?”
“Of course.”
“Then, you have to honestly tell me something.”
Jiang Wei’s expression turned serious. “Ask away.”
“Who’s Qingqing’s boyfriend?”
Jiang Wei was stunned.
He did not expect Fang Yu’an to ask this question.
However, he still told him everything he knew. “From what I know, Qingqing and her boyfriend have already broken up.”
“Who is that fellow?” Fang Yu’an’s tone was ruthless.
Jiang Wei realized that something was wrong and asked, “Did something happen?”
