Hearing the commotion, the three people at the table all turned their heads subconsciously.

Inside the hall, a room full of diners also looked towards the sound.

Entering their sight was a woman dressed in coarse linen clothing, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a face somewhat similar to Yan Qingqing's.

Without a doubt, this shrew was probably Yan Qingqing's niece.

Seeing her, Yu Qingwu and Xie Jin Yan's expressions sank, but neither of them stepped forward to defend Yan Qingqing as they had in the past, instead sitting at the table, each picking up their teacups, leisurely watching the menacing woman.

With a crisp snap.

Sure enough, the woman had just walked over while yelling, and before she could even grab Yan Qingqing's hair, she received a solid slap.

She was stunned, and immediately flew into a rage, "Yan Qingqing, you jinx, how dare you hit me, you..."

Snap, another crisp sound.

This slap was obviously louder than the previous one.

Yan Qingqing coldly looked at her niece, Yan Ruoxue, who still wanted to open her mouth to speak, a flash of sharpness flickering in her reddened eyes, warning, "Yan Ruoxue, if you dare say another word, I'll hit you again, until you're dead."

"You..."

"Me what? What's wrong, Yan Ruoxue, have you already forgotten the pain of having your bones dislocated?"

Yan Ruoxue bit her teeth, and just as she wanted to curse, Yan Qingqing immediately spoke again in a cold voice.

Hearing these words, Yan Ruoxue's face clearly changed.

But soon, she revealed a face of indignation, "Yan Qingqing, what are you saying? Are you threatening me? I'm telling you, randomly hurting people will land you in jail..."

"Then go sue me," Yan Qingqing sneered.

Yan Ruoxue choked again.

Actually, after Yan Qingqing dislocated her jaw, she and her parents had reported it to the authorities, but the county yamen found a doctor to take a look, who insisted that she was fine, so there was naturally no reason to arrest Yan Qingqing.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruoxue gritted her teeth in hatred, vowing to avenge this grudge.

So she inquired all the way and found this inn.

Arriving at the inn, seeing that Yan Qingqing was actually living in such a good place, eating such good food, and wearing such extraordinary clothes, she felt even more resentful in her heart.

Why, why could Yan Qingqing, this jinx, live so well, while her family had to be driven out of Yan Family Village.

Even Yuan Chong, the brother she liked, was still thinking about Yan Qingqing, and even if she threatened him with death, he wouldn't marry her, almost causing her to be drowned in a pig cage.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruoxue couldn't help but feel resentment, glaring fiercely at Yan Qingqing, then looking at Yu Qingwu and Xie Jin Yan, she spoke, "Are you with Yan Qingqing?"

"Judging by your attire, you must be wealthy people, is Yan Qingqing a servant in your home? Young master, madam, I'm telling you, Yan Qingqing is a jinx, she killed her father as soon as she was born, killed her mother at eight, killed her nephew at ten, and now she's cursed our family of three to be driven out of the village, you should stay away from her, otherwise bad luck will find your family."

Hearing this, Yu Qingwu smiled faintly, not answering.

Xie Jin Yan looked at Yan Ruoxue with a smile, and asked, "Who are you?"

Seeing Xie Jin Yan speak, joy immediately appeared in Yan Ruoxue's eyes, and she hurriedly introduced herself, "Young master, my name is Yan Ruoxue, I am Yan Qingqing's niece."

"Niece? Judging by the way you're talking, I thought you were her father."

Xie Jin Yan's words immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Yes, a niece shouting and yelling at her aunt, truly lacking in upbringing.

For a time, everyone's gaze was cast on Yan Ruoxue.

No matter how stupid Yan Ruoxue was, she could tell that Xie Jin Yan was scolding her, and she immediately felt embarrassed.

But seeing Xie Jin Yan's body full of silk and satin, and looking at Yu Qingwu who was smiling without saying a word, she simply changed her target and said to Yu Qingwu, "Madam, you must be careful of this aunt of mine, when she was in the village, she was driven out because she seduced a married man, I see your husband towards her..."

"How strange, Qingqing was only ten years old when she was my younger sister, what? She could seduce men at ten years old?" Before Yan Ruoxue could finish speaking, Yu Qingwu interrupted her with a sneer.

Looking around the hall, and then returning her gaze to Yan Ruoxue, she mocked, "Yan Ruoxue, right? Do you know that slandering someone's reputation is also against the law."

"Also, I heard from my younger sister that you and your parents took her mother's dowry as your own, how should this matter be settled?"

"This... you... what nonsense are you talking about, how could my parents and I have taken her dowry?" Yan Ruoxue's expression froze, and the smug look on her face instantly stiffened.

What's going on?

Clearly, everyone in the village used to say that Yan Qingqing was a jinx, so they believed everything she said, but now what?

Moreover, wasn't Yan Qingqing originally bought by a man to be a maid? How... how did she become someone's younger sister?

Unwillingness and jealousy surged at the same time, and Yan Ruoxue hurriedly pointed at Yan Qingqing and asked, "You... weren't you sold to be someone's maid? How did you become someone's younger sister now?"

"Could it be that you became someone's concubine?"

A flash of jealousy flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth faintly hooked into a smug expression, thinking that these words were smearing Yan Qingqing, but she didn't notice that the way the people around her looked at her was becoming more and more contemptuous, even angry.

A family of beasts! It wasn't enough to seize someone's dowry, they even sold her to be a maid?

"Hmph, and you still say you didn't take her dowry, you've already sold her to be a maid, what is it that you wouldn't do!"

In the hall, someone suddenly spat.

Yu Qingwu also smiled faintly, looking at Yan Ruoxue mockingly, and snorted coldly, "Sorry, Qingqing wasn't sold to be a maid, but became my younger sister. It's been six or seven years since she was ten years old, ever since Qingqing came, my family has been thriving, and becoming even more prosperous."

"It can be seen that Qingqing is a lucky star, I really don't understand, how did she become a jinx in your mouth?"

As soon as Yu Qingwu said this, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

You look at me, I look at you, and they all began to whisper to each other.

Hearing this, Yan Ruoxue was stunned, her face becoming more and more unsightly, in addition to shock and jealousy, there was even more disbelief, pointing at Yan Qingqing and saying, "She... how could she be a lucky star? She is clearly a jinx!"

"How is she a jinx? Also, you just said that she killed her parents, killed her nephew, and cursed your family to be driven out of the village, I find it strange, Qingqing has been away from your family for six or seven years, how did she curse you?" Yu Qingwu asked repeatedly.

Yan Ruoxue was even more dazed, never expecting that her words had become a loophole for whitewashing Yan Qingqing's reputation as a jinx.

She bit her teeth tightly, stammering, "Yan Qingqing, she is a jinx, she..."

"I only ask one question, when was your family of three driven out of the village? And for what reason?"
