Shen Ke?

Yu Qingwu and Xie Jin Yan were both stunned, and subconsciously lifted the curtain to look outside.

They saw outside a gold shop, a girl in blue was tugging at the hair of a woman in purple. The woman in purple’s hair was disheveled, and her clothes were torn, revealing most of her shoulder.

She was pressed to the ground by the girl in blue, whimpering and crying, with no power to fight back.

Just then, a man in white suddenly rushed out, pushed the girl in blue away, and said angrily, "A Lan, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I should be asking what this slut is trying to do!"

"She flirted with you in front of me, and even ate the pastries that were meant for you!"

"That's not all, she even deliberately wore your clothes!"

"She even threw herself into your arms, crying and sobbing. Tell me! Do you two have a secret affair?" A Lan’s tone was fierce, pointing directly at Qin Yiliu, who was held in Shen Ke’s arms on the ground, tears still streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Shen Ke was the husband her father had personally chosen for her. How could her husband be good to other women?

Moreover, this woman harbored ill intentions towards him.

The more A Lan thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved she felt, and the angrier she became every time she looked at Qin Yiliu.

Gritting her teeth, she suddenly grabbed a butcher knife from the roadside and slashed at Qin Yiliu, yelling, "You vixen, after seducing my brother, you come to seduce Shen Ke. I will kill you!"

"Ah!" Qin Yiliu screamed!

Just as the butcher knife was about to fall on her head, an extremely tall and strong man suddenly jumped out from nowhere, forcefully snatched the butcher knife from A Lan's hand, and sternly reprimanded her, "A Lan, what are you doing?"

"I… Brother, why are you protecting her too!" A Lan was furious, and almost broke down in addition to her grievances.

Ever since this Qin woman came to Qingzhou, her fiancé, her brother, and many people around her were all on Qin’s side. It was clear that Qin was framing her, but everyone said she was bullying Qin.

Thinking of this, A Lan became even more distraught, and she kept scolding Qin Yiliu with red eyes.

Qin Yiliu, on the other hand, shrank into Shen Ke’s arms and wept.

Seeing this scene, Yu Qingwu and Xie Jin Yan were dumbfounded.

What a narrow road for enemies…

How could they run into these two here?

Moreover, what were they doing here?

Although the Shen family was demoted to commoners, they were not exiled to the frontier like the Xu family, nor were they directly executed like Xu Zi'an.

So, instead of staying in the capital, what were Shen Ke and Qin Yiliu doing in Shu?

Countless questions popped up in her mind, but in the end, Yu Qingwu did not get out of the carriage, nor did she show her face in front of Shen Ke and Qin Yiliu.

After exchanging a glance with Xie Jin Yan, she immediately ordered the coachman to go to the inn ahead.

"Your Highness, why would Shen Ke and Qin Yiliu come to Qingzhou?" As soon as she got out of the carriage, Yu Qingwu asked Xie Jin Yan in a low voice.

Xie Jin Yan frowned and said, "I also find it strange. According to Shen Ke's personality, he would not come to Shu. He can't stand hardship."

"As for Qin Yiliu, before I left, I already knew that she had gained the favor of many people in the court because of her prophetic abilities. If she stayed in the capital, although she would not have a good reputation, she would still live a good life. With the help of those people, the name of goddess would eventually fall on her head."

"She is so vain and so eager to trample you under her feet, it shouldn't be…"

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, do you know the people who were arguing just now?" The crisp voice of Yan Qingqing suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Xie Jin Yan was so engrossed in his thoughts that he was startled by her.

However, he turned his head, looked at Yan Qingqing, and seemed thoughtful.

Yan Qingqing's face was a new face to Qin Yiliu, Shen Ke, and many officials in the capital, so it would be easy to gather information.

After thinking for a while, Xie Jin Yan beckoned to Yan Qingqing and whispered, "Come, Junior Sister Yan, sit down."

"Um." Yan Qingqing sat down, looking at Xie Jin Yan and Yu Qingwu's solemn expressions, she couldn't help but ask again in a low voice, nervously, "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, those people are not related to the man who knocked on our door, are they? Could it be… could it be that they have been following us all along, and thought we had let our guard down, so they deliberately pretended to quarrel, and then waited until we were all asleep, and then quietly killed us all?"

Yan Qingqing wiped her neck, and couldn't help but think of the stories of protagonists being assassinated in the storybooks.

It was no wonder she was overthinking, it was just that Yu Qingwu and Xie Jin Yan's expressions were too strange after seeing Qin Yiliu.

After being asked by Yan Qingqing, Yu Qingwu and Xie Jin Yan also realized that their expressions were too obvious.

The two looked at each other and immediately returned to their usual expressions.

Yu Qingwu picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, waved her hand, and replied to Yan Qingqing in a gentle voice, "It's not that bad…"

"However… your Senior Brother and I do know the woman who was beaten and the man in white who was protecting her."

"They… one is my… my former fiancé, and the other is the former fiancé's sister-in-law. These two used to want to swindle my family's property, but luckily I wasn't stupid. I didn't expect them to be swindling a young girl now."

!!!!

Hearing this, Yan Qingqing was shocked, and her eyes revealed a look of shock and gossip, looking at Yu Qingwu in disbelief, she repeated, "Senior Sister, are you saying that they are…"

"Yes… it's what you think." Xie Jin Yan nodded, answering for Yu Qingwu, and sighed, "That Shen Ke is not a good person."

"Qingqing, can you help me find out about the origin of that girl in blue later? Also… what's going on with Shen Ke and Qin? Why would they come here for no reason? Did Shen Ke get engaged to someone else?"

Xie Jin Yan frowned and said to Yan Qingqing in a low voice.

Although Yan Qingqing didn't know what the situation was, seeing Xie Jin Yan and Yu Qingwu's complex expressions, and hearing them say that the two were in such a relationship, she felt very indignant for the little girl.

Hearing Senior Sister say that they even wanted to swindle her family's property, Yan Qingqing was even more unhappy.

If it weren't for Senior Sister's help, she wouldn't know what her situation would be now.

Therefore, she must teach that couple of adulterers and adulteresses a good lesson for Senior Sister.

Ever since she helped Qu Shanshan dismantle her bones in the firewood room of the master's sect, Yan Qingqing became more and more enlightened.

She knew more and more how to teach the villains a lesson…

Thinking in her heart, she immediately nodded, her heart was excited, but on the surface, she was well-behaved and replied, "Okay, I'll go now."

After saying that, Yan Qingqing stepped out of the inn.

Looking at Yan Qingqing's almost running back, Yu Qingwu couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart, and asked Xie Jin Yan, "Your Highness, don't you think Qingqing is a little strange?"

Hearing this, Xie Jin Yan chuckled softly, a hint of schadenfreude outlined in his eyebrows, and said softly, "I think it's quite good…"
