“My cousin’s family had a misfortune and she was all alone. My mother took pity on her and brought her to my house. But ever since she came, my parents and brother have been doting on her. She has everything I have, but I don’t necessarily have everything she has.”

"That's fine, but she was the one who gave me the snacks, yet she told Mother that I stole them from her."

“She fell on her own, but she told her father and brother that I tripped her on purpose.”

“I wanted to explain and defend myself, but when my cousin cried, my family wouldn’t listen to my explanation and just thought it was all my fault.”

At this point, Liu Yuanyuan's face was full of anger: "Ever since she came four years ago, she has been the eldest daughter of the family, while I am like someone who was picked up off the street."

Liu Yuanyuan wiped away her tears, took a deep breath and said, "If I can't afford to offend her, can't I at least avoid her? I will definitely not go to any place she goes. If I have to go, I will stay by my mother's side and not let her have any chance to harm me."

"As a result, I had two years of peace and quiet."

“Last year on my birthday, I went to my mother's house to try on new clothes. I wanted to get there quickly, so I took a shortcut and saw my cousin and my brother hugging and cuddling. That's when I found out that the two of them had already secretly gotten engaged. My brother said that he was going to devise a plan to marry you so that with the help of the prefect, he could rise to a higher position. He also said that the opportunity would be on my birthday.”

At this point, Liu Yuanyuan didn't dare to look at Han Weiwei: "I was very angry at the time, and I criticized them in public, which got me scolded by my older brother."

"On my birthday, I wanted to talk to you and clear things up, but I didn't expect my cousin to put all the blame on my brother and me..."

Han Weiwei was shocked: "Are you sure you're not lying to me? Why did your cousin tell me the truth? Doesn't this ruin their plan? I don't have a good impression of your older brother anymore!"

Liu Yuanyuan shook her head vigorously: "I didn't! I didn't lie to you! My older brother had no idea that my cousin had told you the truth. After he found out, my cousin said that since I already knew, the plan couldn't work, so she could only play along and try to win your favor so that she could become your friend."

“They succeeded. You did become friends with your cousin and targeted me at every turn. He Lin was also tricked into distancing herself from me because she said a few words in my defense.”

Liu Yuanyuan murmured, "But I didn't do anything..."

“Yesterday, my elder brother came to me again, asking me to drug you and disfigure you, so that when he asks you for your hand in marriage, the prefect will definitely agree.” As she spoke, Liu Yuanyuan took out the medicine bottle.

Do you know why my cousin didn't come to Fenghua College?

"Didn't you say she wasn't in good health?" Han Weiwei's expression was complicated, lacking her usual aggressiveness.

"Heh." Liu Yuanyuan sneered, "What do you mean she's not in good health? It's because she couldn't keep my older brother's child and had a miscarriage."

"What?!"

Xiao Tuantuan also opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief.

Han Weiwei was quite surprised, and then said, "Do you have any evidence?"

"No." Liu Yuanyuan's expression darkened. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's precisely because there's no evidence that I haven't said anything. I know you won't believe me."

“However, I found that I felt a little better after saying it out loud.” Liu Yuanyuan looked at Han Weiwei and said very seriously, “My cousin is not as innocent as she looks. Miss Han, you should still be careful.”

After Liu Yuanyuan finished speaking, she left.

"Wait two more days, and you'll know whether she's lying or not." Xiao Tuantuan looked at Han Weiwei and, seeing that she didn't speak, said, "Last night in the grove, I saw her with her brother. Her brother's point was that if you're not disfigured in three days, she won't be able to go to school."

Why is that?

Xiao Tuantuan shook her head: "Perhaps, He Lin knows."

"So annoying!" Han Weiwei said irritably, throwing the medicine bottle on the table. "My mother said that she will not let me get married before I am fifteen."

"You can tell your mother about this, but keep it from your father for now. If he finds out, Yuanyuan might not have a good time."

“I’m not stupid.” Han Weiwei stood up. “I’ll have my mother investigate when I get back tomorrow.”

Xiao Tuantuan was envious. It was good to be the daughter of a prefect; she could go home anytime, anywhere.

At this time, Liu Yuanyuan, with red eyes, went back and lay on the bed without moving.

He Lin walked over, and seeing Liu Yuanyuan's dejected look, his expression hardened: "Did Han Weiwei bully you again?"

Liu Yuanyuan opened her eyes and looked at He Lin: "You deliberately went against me because you were afraid that Han Weiwei would cause me trouble, right? Because you know that if you continue to be on good terms with me, Han Weiwei will not be able to achieve her goal and will bully me even more."

"You?" He Lin looked at Liu Yuanyuan in astonishment. "You've finally figured it out?"

Liu Yuanyuan's eyes reddened even more, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably: "You can think of me, so why do my parents only care about my cousin?"

He Lin wanted to offer some words of comfort, but everyone else had just returned, so she had to give up.

Xiao Tuantuan was surprised that He Lin would contact her, and she also learned about Liu Yuanyuan's family situation.

Her mother favored her brother and cousin, but disliked Liu Yuanyuan.

If her father hadn't remembered that Liu Yuanyuan was his daughter, he probably wouldn't have let her go to school at all.

“Yuanyuan was very beautiful when she was a child. In the first year her cousin came to live with them, she drugged Yuanyuan, making her fatter and fatter.”

He Lin scoffed, "After the diagnosis, her cousin cried and said she didn't mean it and thought the medicine was a tonic."

“At that time, Yuanyuan was only five years old and her cousin was eight years old, but her family blamed her for being greedy and said that her cousin was too young to understand. They also said that she had just gained weight and it was not a big deal.”

"Eight years old is considered young, five years old is considered greedy. Xiao Tuantuan, tell me, how can someone be so biased?"

He Lin didn't understand, and Xiao Tuantuan remained silent.

The human heart is the most unpredictable thing.

Three days passed quickly, and Liu Yuanyuan was tense all day.

After class, Liu Yuanyuan lingered in the classroom, too afraid to go out.

"Come with me." Han Weiwei walked in, grabbed Liu Yuanyuan's hand, and headed towards the back door.

"Tuantuan," Chen Xingfeng's voice came through, "I've already asked the teacher for leave, and we're going home today."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tuantuan was puzzled: "Why?"

Chen Xingfeng smiled faintly and said slowly, "Tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday."

Xiao Tuantuan was instantly filled with regret: "I didn't know..."

The three of them soon left the school. Xiao Tuantuan thought for a moment and decided to give the medical book that Spoon had given her to her grandmother as a birthday gift.

The carriage stopped abruptly halfway through its journey, and then the horse let out a bloodcurdling scream!

Chen Xingfeng and Chen Lingfeng exchanged a glance, both seeing wariness in each other's eyes.

"Get down here!"

A familiar voice came from the carriage, and the three of them quickly got off. They saw Wang Fugui and his group staring at them menacingly.

"Hmph, I've finally waited for you." Wang Fugui's sinister eyes swept over the three men. "You dared to scheme against me, today is your death day!"

Chen Xingfeng and Chen Lingfeng quickly shielded Xiao Tuantuan behind them: "Tuantuan, run as soon as you find a chance!"

Xiao Tuantuan's palms were covered in cold sweat, and her eyes were filled with panic.

The people Wang Fugui brought were clearly trained martial artists. Chen Xingfeng and Chen Lingfeng had not learned martial arts and could only rely on their strength to hold them off. Xiao Tuantuan was only a half-baked martial artist; she could handle Wang Fugui, but she was no match for trained martial artists.

"round and round!"

Chen Xingfeng was kicked to the ground. When he looked up, he saw Wang Fugui holding a knife and slashing at Xiao Tuantuan!
