In her previous life, Mu Hanyan's only same-sex friend was Yi Qinglian. Yi Qinglian was a bit chubby, with an apple-shaped face, and easily blushed when shy. She was gentle and considerate, and her kindness to Mu Hanyan came from the bottom of her heart. In her previous life, she had wanted to help Mu Hanyan, but ended up marrying an older man who could almost be her father.

Mu Hanyan was already in dire straits at the time. Only after she was finally rescued did she realize that Yi Qinglian had sacrificed her life's happiness for her. At that time, she hated her own powerlessness. And Yi Qinglian, with a gentle and shy smile, comforted her, saying that the man was very kind to her and would spoil her.

However, two years later, Mu Hanyan received news of Yi Qinglian's death! The old man, disenchanted with the old, married a younger and prettier woman. Because his new lover disliked Yi Qinglian, the two of them tortured her to death! By then, Mu Hanyan's strength had greatly improved, and she was already able to protect Yi Qinglian, but it was too late!

After receiving the news of Yi Qinglian's death, she rushed to the old man's house for three days and three nights without sleep and slaughtered his entire family! She wanted to make the old man and his new lover feel the pain Qinglian suffered before her death, ten times or a hundred times the pain she had experienced before her death. But could that bring back Qinglian's life? No way!

I still remember that night, crying my heart out and feeling so sorry for myself. I will never allow something like this to happen again, absolutely not!

Now, Yi Qinglian is still fine. She hasn't sacrificed her life happiness for her, nor has she been tortured to death. Mu Hanyan's eyes were a little sore. She hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, replaced them with a big smile, and went to greet Yi Qinglian.

Qinglian, in this life, I will definitely protect you and make you happy throughout your life!

Mu Hanyan ran all the way to the door and saw Yi Qinglian, who was a little embarrassed. Yi Qinglian was a little chubby, but she didn't look ugly at all, but rather very cute. When she saw Mu Hanyan, a big smile appeared on her apple face, revealing two cute dimples, and then she came to greet Mu Hanyan.

"Han Yan, are you okay? I wanted to come see you after what happened to Miss Zhao Si last time, but my father wouldn't let me. After hearing about Miss Zhao Si's story today, my father finally let me go. I told him that you were wrongly accused, but he just didn't believe me. Today, he finally believed me a little. Humph, I told you before, Miss Zhao Si is not a good person."

Mu Hanyan looked at the playful smile on Yi Qinglian's face and her clear eyes, and her heart ached again. She tried hard to suppress the tears that threatened to flow, and forced a smile: "Qinglian, thank you. Okay, let's go in and talk. I'll have someone prepare your favorite mung bean cake for you."

"Really?" Yi Qinglian's chubby face revealed a surprised smile, her eyes lighting up at that moment. Mu Hanyan was amused, yet also heartbroken. Such a lovely, lively woman, yet in the end, she had turned into a disfigured corpse! She would never let such a thing happen to her in this lifetime!

"Of course it's true. I know Qinglian likes the mung bean pastry from our City Lord's Mansion the most. Also, I'll ask someone to go to Daoxiangzhai to buy you some delicious food right away." After Mu Hanyan finished speaking, she was about to take Yi Qinglian's hand and go to her own yard.

Yi Qinglian nodded happily like a chick pecking at rice, and reached out to hold Mu Hanyan's hand back.
