Listen, listen, the old madam's face grew darker. An Qingyao's words were becoming more and more outrageous, and she could no longer stand it.
"An Qingyao, you are truly beyond redemption."
"Mother, I always knew you didn't like me. The daughter-in-law you favored was Xia Wan'er, but unfortunately, she already has someone she likes in her heart and doesn't even look at your Hua Changqing. That's why you were forced to choose me as your daughter-in-law, am I right?"
An Qingyao suddenly recalled the past, her eyes reddened, and she asked coldly. 138 Reading Network
"An Qingyao, bringing up past matters now is meaningless, just like you. No matter who you were in the past, I gave you a chance to reform, but you didn't cherish it and even plotted against Wan'er's child."
This was what the old madam hated most about An Qingyao.
"I didn't want to do this, but I can't swallow my anger. Xia Wan'er has been away from the Hua clan for so many years, yet Changqing ge still can't forget her. Every time we are intimate, he still often mistakes me for Xia Wan'er..."
As soon as An Qingyao said this, except for Hua Changqing, whose face was ashen and his eyes as cold as frost as he looked at An Qingyao, the old madam and Xia Wan'er's faces were so dark they could drip ink. Everyone else who heard An Qingyao's words felt a chill, finding the couple An Qingyao and Hua Changqing utterly disgusting.
As for Leng Jinyu, he even had the urge to kill this couple. Hua Changqing actually harbored such lewd thoughts about his wife, which was utterly unbearable.
Thinking of this, Leng Jinyu was about to draw his sword to deal with the disgusting couple, An Qingyao and Hua Changqing. Even if he couldn't kill them, he would cripple them.
Unexpectedly, Hua Changqing was faster. He flew in front of An Qingyao, and the couple immediately began to fight, killing each other. Their moves were all deadly, showing that their relationship was not very harmonious, and they could even be said to have ulterior motives.
An Qingyao, while guarding against Hua Changqing's attacks, asked him coldly, "Hua Changqing, do you want to kill me?"
"Are you, this disgusting venomous woman, worthy of living?" Hua Changqing replied with a dark face and a chilling tone.
"Heh! You call me a disgusting venomous woman, but what about you? What kind of person are you, do you know? For example, your eldest brother's death is related to you, right? Hahaha..."
An Qingyao found it hilarious that these words came from Hua Changqing.
"You woman are truly hopeless!" With that, Hua Changqing, to stop her from spouting more nonsense, launched a new round of attacks.
Meanwhile, Jun Mohan and Ming Jiuxiao rushed to the outside of the large circle where Leng Ruoli was imprisoned. They carefully observed the wind pillar before stopping.
"Jun Mohan, this old woman's secret technique is not easy to break?" This was the first time Ming Jiuxiao had called Jun Mohan by his name so earnestly.
Because he knew it wasn't the time to bicker with Jun Mohan, and rescuing Xiao Ya Tou Li'er was the priority. Therefore, his usual rogue-like demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
Jun Mohan also took his words to heart and said indifferently, "How much do you know about the secret techniques of reclusive families? Are there any ways to break this giant whirlwind pillar?"
Ming Jiuxiao shook his head upon hearing Jun Mohan's words, "I've only heard occasional rumors about secret techniques from an elder of the Can Yue Lou before, and I don't know much."
As Jun Mohan and Ming Jiuxiao were racking their brains to break An Qingyao's secret technique, Leng Ruoli was contemplating whether to reveal herself and secretly rescue Xing'er and Ling'er.
But at this moment, she noticed a flash of blood-red eyes in the large eyes of Xing'er and Ling'er, which looked truly strange.
However, in the next instant, An Qingyao, with some unknown scheme, flicked her sleeve, and a large bloody hole appeared on Hua Changqing's arm, followed by a gush of blood. Hua Changqing immediately cried out in pain, "Ah! It hurts so much! An Qingyao, you actually played a trick on me!"
"Heh! Haven't you been cruel enough to me?"
Hearing this, Hua Changqing couldn't be bothered to argue with such a woman. Gritting his teeth and enduring the immense pain, he gripped his long sword with one hand and lunged at An Qingyao.
While An Qingyao and Hua Changqing were fighting fiercely, the old madam, Xia Wan'er, and Leng Jinyu and his son had no time to watch their fight. They also came to the wind pillar trapping Leng Ruoli and were troubled.
But at this moment, Leng Ruoli suddenly appeared behind them.
"Father, Mother, I am here. You don't need to bother with this thing anymore."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Leng Ruoli. Seeing her standing safely behind them, they were all very surprised.
Xia Wan'er and Leng Jinyu asked with full of curiosity, "Li'er, how did you get out of this wind pillar?"
"Father, Mother, this is my little secret, and I can't tell you yet." Leng Ruoli simply brushed them off.
Xia Wan'er understood as soon as Leng Ruoli said it was her little secret and immediately stopped Leng Jinyu from pressing further.
Although Ming Jiuxiao, Leng Ruirui, and Shui Yi were all curious how Leng Ruoli escaped this strange wind pillar, they all suppressed their curiosity and did not ask.
As for Jun Mohan, he already knew the secret of Leng Ruoli's portable space being able to move, so he was even less likely to question Leng Ruoli. It was already too late to cover for her.
The Hua family head (old madam) and Granny Hua beside them were not curious about Leng Ruoli's sudden appearance. Being old, she had seen all sorts of strange things. Since the little girl didn't want to say, she wouldn't ask.
"Wan'er, your little girl has escaped. Let's put aside the matter of the wind pillar for now and see how to break the secret technique on your two maids."
The old madam looked at the two maids tied up under the old locust tree not far away.
Leng Ruoli was slightly surprised for a few seconds upon hearing the old madam's words and asked curiously, "Old Madam, how did you know they were under a secret technique?"
"Although I don't understand secret techniques, I know them very well. Look at the two maids, don't they both have a red mark like a locust leaf on the back of their hands?" The old madam pointed to Xing'er and Ling'er, who were tied up, and said to everyone.
Everyone followed her finger and saw the red leaf-like marks on the backs of Xing'er and Ling'er's hands.
This mark appeared in such a prominent place on Xing'er and Ling'er's hands, yet they hadn't noticed it earlier. This was truly their oversight.
Xia Wan'er asked with curiosity, "Godmother, does this red mark have any special meaning?"
"The presence of this red mark on them is a sign that they have been subjected to An Qingyao's secret technique. Unfortunately, An Qingyao's cultivation is too shallow, and she failed to hide the marks on the backs of their hands. If An Qingyao were a master of secret techniques, I wouldn't be so sure that these two maids had been subjected to a secret technique."
