n“Yes, Master.” Yan Nuo replied and tied Xue Ling up.

n

nXue Ling wanted to resist and argue with Qian Jiyun but found herself unable to say a word because she was gagged.

n

n“Mmph, mmph!”

n

nShe shook her head and looked at Qian Jiyun. He was handing An Jiuyue a fruit.

n

nShe did not hope for Qian Jiyun’s pity. She only wanted him to untie her so she could escape again and let her aunt take revenge for her!

n

nYan Nuo sneered at Xue Ling.

n

nWe finally caught this scourge! I’ll go crazy if we have to tolerate her any longer.

n

nBut we probably can’t lure out the real person having Xue Ling’s back now. We probably won’t be able to even if we don’t do anything to her.

n

n“Miss Jiuyue, how did you know she was nearby?”

n

nHe was very curious about how An Jiuyue knew Xue Ling was nearby. She even found her without making a wrong turn. He would not be able to do the same.

n

nAn Jiuyue glanced at him indifferently and did not say anything. Instead, she looked in Xue Ling’s direction with interest.

n

n“Qian Jiyun, who exactly is Xue Ling?” she asked.

n

n“In my stepmother’s words, she is a… distant niece from my stepmother’s mother’s clan,” Qian Jiyun replied without even looking at Xue Ling.

n

nHis lips curled into a faint hateful smile at the mention of his stepmother.

n

n“Distant niece…” An Jiuyue almost laughed.

n

n“Distant niece” probably just means they’re completely unrelated, right? But she can still run amok by Qian Jiyun’s side with that old woman’s authority? That’s rather capable of her.

n

nXue Ling must have pretended to be stupid in front of me. She’s not as arrogant and domineering as we think. She’s doing everything for show.

n

n“That’s nice. That’s quite nice.” She stared intensely in Xue Ling’s direction.

n

nXue Ling gasped. She trembled involuntarily when she noticed An Jiuyue’s probing gaze.

n

nI knew she was not a simple woman from the beginning! She ruined my good image the moment she appeared!

n

nDoes she… suspect me now? I have to be more careful in the future.

n

nThey’ll probably take me back to the military camp now. It’ll be harder for me to escape next time. I can’t believe I failed after planning this for so long!

n

n“Master, what are you talking about? What’s nice about Xue Ling?” Wei Na looked at Xue Ling in disdain.

n

nI don’t understand. What’s good about a woman like Xue Ling?

n

n“You don’t think so?” An Jiuyue lowered her head and chuckled. “Have there been any changes in the Points Mall recently?” she asked.

n

n“No. The points have been increasing,” Wei Na replied.

n

nIt would stare at the points when it had nothing to do. It was overjoyed watching the points increase!

n

n“But some people may be too weak. A few groups of them died even after using the prescription.”

n

n“What do you mean?” An Jiuyue asked, her eyes narrowing.

n

nWhy would Wei Na make such a guess? Death? What death?
