Ye Yun turned to look at Xiu'er, whose eyes were red from crying, and it was as if she saw the Xiu'er from a long, long time ago, who did nothing but marry Zhao Wensheng.

Equally naive, equally foolish.

She blindly charged forward, unaware that what awaited her was a fiery pit that would make her wish she were dead.

When Old Ma saw Ye Yun speak up, he quickly said, "Yes, yes, you were once a daughter-in-law of the Guo family, so you tell me to persuade my daughter!"

Ye Yun couldn't help but twitch her lips.

At this moment, Xiuer was also looking at her. The girl's eyes were red from crying, and tears kept flowing. She looked extremely aggrieved.

She paused for two seconds before speaking: "Xiuer, actually I don't have much to say. I haven't lived in Lao Guo's house for very long."

Upon hearing this, Xiu'er asked somewhat angrily, "Then what did you say?"

"Because they forced me to move out."

After Xiu'er angrily questioned her, Ye Yun answered her with a smile. Xiu'er paused, looking at her with surprise in her eyes.

Qin Zheng patted Ye Yun's shoulder and said, "My wife wasn't lying."

They were indeed forced into it.

“On the first day, the whole family bullied my wife. My mother-in-law even hit her, and her two sisters-in-law also bullied her. How could we not move out?”

Xiuer was even more surprised.

However, she quickly explained, "Youcai said that after we get married, we will move out and then we can sever ties with that whole family."

"Where to move to?" Ye Yun smiled. "Are there houses for you in Blackwater Village?"

Xiuer was speechless, "Then you..."

“We were able to move out because my Qin Zheng already had another house. He’s surnamed Qin, not Guo. The Qin family has a place for us, but what does Guo Youcai have?” Ye Yun said. “And do you really think you can move out? You need to think this through. Guo Youcai is Li Xiuying’s only biological son now. She’s counting on Guo Youcai to take care of her in her old age. Do you think she can easily let Guo Youcai go?”

"..."

Xiuer was speechless.

It took her a long while to process Ye Yun's words, and she couldn't help but wipe away her tears again, "What should I do? I've been dating Youcai for so long..."

Ye Yun gently rubbed her forehead and sighed, "What do you like about Guo Youcai?"

Xiuer stammered.

After thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a nice word. Her watery eyes stared straight at Ye Yun.

Ye Yun: "..."

She looked at Qin Zheng and chuckled, "Would you like to tell me what you know about Guo Youcai?"

Qin Zheng's eyes darkened.

"What did you say?" He gritted his teeth as he mentioned Guo Youcai. "He said that he held a grudge against me for not helping him find a job, so he knocked you unconscious, tied you up, and took you into the mountains, causing you to run into a murderer and almost killing you and the baby in your belly, almost leaving me without a wife and child? Honey, now that I think about it, I could have beaten him up lightly back then!"

"What?"

The old man and his family were all stunned, staring at Qin Zheng in surprise.

The murderers from a while ago, all they knew was that a woman from the Blackwater Brigade had fallen into their hands, but they didn't know the details. It turns out there were all these twists and turns involved.

Old Ma was heartbroken and slammed his hand on the stone table, saying, "Xiuer, look at this!"

The old woman held Ye Yun's hand, anxiously pointing to her stomach and gesturing. The little girl quickly translated, "Sister, my grandma is asking how the little brother in your tummy is doing?"

Ye Yun smiled and said, "It's alright, the little brother in Auntie's belly is doing fine."

Wait, why is it a little brother?

Why does she also mention "little brother"?

Qin Zheng felt angry whenever he thought of Guo Youcai, so he put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to his chest. The aftereffects meant that he could only feel at ease when he truly felt Ye Yun's presence.

Xiuer looked bewildered, clearly not expecting Guo Youcai to have done such a thing.

She couldn't help but clench her hands hanging at her sides, carefully pondering Qin Zheng and Ye Yun's words, and her silence made Ye Yun realize that something was different.

She spoke again, lowering her voice: "Sir, may I speak with Xiuer alone?"

Old Ma was very understanding and waved his hand, saying, "Then you two talk, come up to the roof!"

Ye Yun nodded.

Qin Zheng was a little worried about her when he helped her up, but Ye Yun just patted his hand gently, telling him to wait outside for a while.

Then she led Xiuer into the house.

The girl's house was very clean. Xiuer and Tian Xiaohui were both aunts and both slept with their little nieces. However, Xiuer's family was better off than Tian Xiaohui's, and Xiuer also slept with the little girl, and they had their own little room.

"Please sit down."

Xiuer greeted her, her voice no longer showing the hostility she had shown before, and even a hint of softness, probably because she knew she was pregnant.

Ye Yun smiled and went straight to the point: "Xiuer, are you and Guo Youcai together?"

"What?"

Xiuer, who had just sat down by the bed, froze, staring at her in surprise.

That's too direct.

Ye Yun didn't want to beat around the bush, and said softly, "Don't be afraid. There are only the two of us in this room right now. I just want to ask you if you have had a relationship with Guo Youcai. If you haven't, then everything is fine. If you have, then there will naturally be other solutions, don't you think?"

Xiuer looked astonished.

Soon, her face turned as red as a ripe shrimp, and she said guiltily, "You... how can you talk like that? I wouldn't dare do what you said. If I did, my dad would beat me to death!"
