Although Guang Li had been "executed," the Yin Family's courtyard wasn't peaceful that night.
In Yao Ruofeng's room.
"Kneel!"
After Yao Baiqian ordered Zhen Lan to close the door tightly, she immediately scolded with a sullen face. Yao Ruofeng and Yue Xiu's faces were pale. Hearing Yao Baiqian's words, Yue Xiu immediately knelt, trembling. Meanwhile, Yao Ruofeng looked pitifully at Yao Baiqian with reddened eyes. "Mother! Aunt! Ruofeng … Ruofeng knows her wrongs! "
Seeing that Yao Ruofeng wasn't willing to kneel, Yao Baiqian raised her hand high and slapped Yao Ruofeng's face.
Yao Ruofeng held her painful face and looked at Yao Baiqian in disbelief. "Aunt, you hit me? What did I do wrong? "
"You still don't know what you did wrong?"
Hearing Yao Ruofeng's words, Yao Baiqian's expression turned even colder. "I can tolerate your anger and jealousy. I originally planned to let you manage Yin Family's backyard but what about you? What are you doing? You dared to harm Yin Family's descendant! "
Yao Baiqian was speechless at Yao Ruofeng's stupidity.
"I learned this from you, Aunt!"
Hearing Yao Baiqian's accusation, Yao Ruofeng put down her hand and sneered, "Didn't aunt treat the yiniangs in the residence like this back then? If you can do it, why can't I do it? Moreover, aren't you the best at poisoning, Aunt? Other than the concubines in the residence, there's also Su Wan. Su Wan, she … "
"Bang." The tightly shut door was kicked open. In the dark night, Yin Beige's face was so dark that it seemed like it could drip water at any time. "Yao Ruofeng, what did you just say? Say it again?"
"Beige!"
Yao Ruofeng was dumbfounded seeing Yin Beige's sudden appearance. At this time, Yao Baiqian's gaze flickered and she slapped Yao Ruofeng again. "Bastard! It's fine if you don't change but you dare to talk nonsense! "
"I'm talking nonsense?"
Yao Ruofeng's face was red and swollen. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Yao Baiqian. "Aunt, no, I should call you mother. I should've understood from the day I married Yin Family. You just didn't want Yin Family to fall into someone else's hands. Therefore, you schemed for Beige to marry me. I thought you loved me back then! Yao Baiqian, you're so selfish! "
"Shut up!"
Yao Baiqian glared at Yao Ruofeng when she saw that Yao Ruofeng dared to call her name directly. She raised her hand and was about to hit her, but Yao Ruofeng dodged it. "Since Beige heard it, I might as well make it clear!"
Yao Ruofeng looked at Yin Beige with a strange expression. "Beige, do you know? Back then, aunt didn't plan on letting you marry Su Wan. Ever since she agreed to your marriage, she had been scheming against Su Wan. She purposely had uncle transfer you away and then changed the bride on the day of the wedding, threatening the Su Family. Even Brother Beiyue had been tricked and used by her. Later, Brother Beiyue died but aunt blamed everything on Su Wan. She wanted Su Wan to die with her son so she put slow-acting poison in Su Wan's food. She even bribed all the doctors in the residence … "
"Mother."
Yin Beige's figure swayed a bit. He looked at Yao Baiqian in disbelief. "Mother, is what Ruofeng said true?"
Thinking of how they missed each other, his brother's death, and the pain Su Wan suffered on the sickbed, Yin Beige's heart ached.
"Mother, how can you be so heartless? Brother and I are both your sons! Have you never thought about our happiness? "
"Happiness?"
Yao Baiqian lifted her brows coldly. "The truth proves that Su Wan is a fickle woman. Mother didn't want you to marry her for your own good. Mother did everything for you and the Yin Family. "
"No."
Yin Beige gradually retreated, looking at Yao Baiqian like he was looking at a stranger. "You didn't do it for us. You did it for yourself."
One's own selfishness. Harming others, harming oneself. …
The next day, Yin Family's courtyard.
When Guang Li woke up, she realized she was in a completely unfamiliar place. The decorations here were similar to Yin Family's.
"You're awake?"
A gentle female voice rang in her ears. Guang Li slowly sat up and saw Su Wan sitting at the square table nearby.
"Third, third madam?"
Though they'd only met once, Guang Li had a deep impression of Su Wan because she gave her a really familiar feeling as if they'd known each other for many years.
Su Wan smiled faintly. "Don't call me that. If you like, you can call me Linglong."
Linglong?
Guang Li looked at Su Wan strangely. "You saved me? Why did you save me? "
Yesterday, Guang Li thought she was dead for sure.
"An old friend asked me to save you. I'll slowly tell you in the future. Just stay here and recuperate."
Su Wan was talking to Guang Li when Shuning quickly walked in. "Third madam, second madam is here. She's waiting for you in the front hall."
"Mn, I got it."
Su Wan responded and slowly stood up. "Guang Li, rest first. I'll come see you later."
"Huh? Oh. "
Guang Li dazedly watched Su Wan leave, her mind a bit confused. But third madam Linglong seemed like a good person.
So there were good people in the Yin Family too.
At this time, in the front hall.
Bu Ningshan was leisurely drinking tea while Shuning helped Su Wan out. Seeing that Su Wan's complexion was a bit better, Bu Ningshan couldn't help but stand up. She walked over and grabbed Su Wan's wrist. "Linglong, are you okay? I've been worried about you since I went back yesterday. So, I came to see you early this morning after I finished my work at home. I've brought a top-grade blood swallow. I'll ask the kitchen to cook it for you later. "
"Thank you for your concern, second madam."
Hearing Bu Ningshan's words, Su Wan immediately pretended to be touched and looked at her gratefully.
"We're family. Why are you being so polite? The world is so bad right now. We need to be united! "
Saying this, Bu Ningshan purposely sighed. "Look at elder brother and sister-in-law. They live in the old residence and guard the general's residence. They also have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under them. In this chaotic situation, they can only gain a foothold if they have military power. Look at our family. Sigh. Our Cheng Mo only knows how to earn money. All the money he earns is given to elder brother for the army's provisions. But even after spending a lot of money, he still doesn't have a single soldier under him. As for Ming Ye … sigh. "
Bu Ningshan sighed a few times. Su Wan's expression kept changing. "Second madam, you're right. Ming Ye wanted to go to the army to train but elder brother said he wasn't made for it. He gave him some money and told him to come back and manage Linglong House with me. Everyone says that a man's ambition is to travel far and wide. What future do you think he and I have by guarding a dance house? If the flames of war really spread to Liao City one day, what's the point of our little dance house earning so much money?"
"Linglong, I knew you're smart."
Bu Ningshan immediately held her hands tightly. "Unfortunately, elder brother covers the sky in Liao City. It's really hard for us to get a job. That person in elder brother's family isn't easy to deal with. Linglong, you're the smartest. What do you think we should do?"
What to do?
Su Wan hesitated for a moment. "Second madam, it's not like there's no way. It just depends on whether or not you're willing to cooperate with me."
"Linglong, you have a way?"
Hearing Su Wan's words, Bu Ningshan's eyes brightened. Su Wan lowered her voice and whispered a few words in Bu Ningshan's ears.
"Um …"
Bu Ningshan hesitated after hearing Su Wan's suggestion.
"Of course, this is just my idea. Second madam, think about it."
