On Our Wedding Night, the Forcibly Married Prince Presses Me to Bow

Xiao Qingyin, a master physician, dies unexpectedly and transmigrates into the body of the eldest legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue in the Great Xi Dynasty, who was raised in the count...

Chapter 9 Coercion

A spirited young woman with a high ponytail and dressed in shorts walked out of the broken wall, stepped on the ankle of the person in the crater, and stomped on it a few times.

The fat man woke up in pain and immediately sprang up with an agility disproportionate to his obese size, knelt in front of the girl, and slapped himself repeatedly, once on the left and once on the right.

"Grandma Yun, please spare me! I was blinded by greed and dared to covet you. I deserve to die, I am a bastard."

The thugs stared in disbelief at the scene, finding it hard to believe that this person was actually their boss.

The girl kicked the man to the ground and said expressionlessly, "Get lost! Don't let me see you again!"

The fat man scrambled and stumbled towards the alley entrance.

The thugs quickly gave chase.

The girl clapped her hands, about to gather up the scattered wood, when she turned her head and saw her older brother glaring at her with a dark face, with her grandmother and a graceful lady standing beside him. Her face immediately froze.

Good heavens! Did she scare this pretty lady?

"You're incredibly skilled!" Xiao Qingyin broke the silence. "So cool!"

Yun Shu was in a great mood and quickly stepped forward, smiling sweetly, "Grandmother, where did you and brother go? I came back from work and there was no one there. I was just looking for you."

Instead of answering, Han asked, "What just happened?"

Yun Shu's face immediately fell. "Ma Laosan and his gang passed by and saw that I was home alone. They wanted to bully me."

"You didn't suffer a loss, did you?" Yun Zhao asked.

"What loss could I possibly suffer? It's a miracle I didn't kill them," Yun Shu said with a smile, then looked at Xiao Qingyin, "And this lady is?"

“This is your cousin Qingyin,” Han replied.

Yun Shu's eyes lit up, and she rushed over to give Xiao Qingyin a big hug, so excited that she couldn't speak coherently: "Hello, Sister Yin! Grandmother talks about you all the time, and my ears are tired of it."

After the initial excitement subsided, she pulled Xiao Qingyin inside to sit down. Just as they reached the doorway, the thatched roof collapsed, leaving them stunned.

Yun Zhao's forehead veins throbbed. "Yun Xiaoshu, how many times have I told you not to fight at home!"

Yun Shu scratched her head, blushing, and said, "I forgot as soon as I started..."

Yun Zhao glared at her, and Yun Shu stuck out her tongue. The two siblings rolled up their sleeves and prepared to repair the thatched hut.

Xiao Qingyin smiled and said, "It's still early. Let's go to the real estate agency to buy a house and move in later."

“If we had the money to buy a house, we wouldn’t be living here,” Yun Shu blurted out.

“I have money,” Xiao Qingyin replied. “I can give you a house.”

Having taken over the original body, she naturally had to take good care of the people she cared about.

“Yinyin, we appreciate your kindness,” Madam Han smiled slightly. “We will save up to buy the house; it’s not something you need to worry about.”

“That’s right,” Yun Zhao agreed. “Cousin, you’ve just returned to the capital, and there are many places where you’ll need to spend money. We’ve lived here for over ten years, so we’re used to it.”

“It’s not safe here,” Xiao Qingyin replied. “Although Xiao Shu is quite skilled, it’s easy to defend against a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. If she encounters someone who uses dirty tricks, she might not be able to defend herself. Grandmother is also getting old and can’t take a fright.”

Yun Zhao had considered all of these things, but no matter how worried he was, he couldn't let his cousin pay for the house. She had lived in the countryside for so many years and they hadn't been able to help her at all; how could they be a burden to her?

"We'll rent a decent place as soon as possible..."

Xiao Qingyin changed her suggestion, "If you don't accept, the house can be registered in my name, as if I'm lending it to you to live in. Is that alright?"

"This..." Madam Han couldn't refuse any longer. "Houses in the capital aren't cheap. Do you have enough money to buy one? Did the Xiao family return your mother's dowry to you?"

"No." Xiao Qingyin shook her head. "I haven't received the dowry yet, so you don't need to worry. I've made a lot of money doing business, so buying an ordinary house won't be a problem."

Relieved, the four of them went to the brokerage firm, selected a two-courtyard house, and bought it for two thousand taels of silver.

After helping them move and having a warm meal at their new home, Xiao Qingyin carried the newly bought snacks and storybooks home as dusk fell.

The servants in the mansion all avoided her when they saw her, as if she were some kind of demon or monster, and none of them dared to approach her.

When Xiao Qingyin returned to her courtyard, the maids were gathered together discussing her.

“Our young lady has quite a temper. When the master punished her by confining her to her quarters, she actually drugged us and swaggered out of the manor.”

"I heard that the master and mistress were furious. Do you think she'll be forced to kneel in the ancestral hall when she gets back?"

"Who can subdue her? Just throw a handful of medicine at her and she'll pass out."

"We'd better be more careful serving her from now on, otherwise she might just concoct some poison and we'll all be dead."

The maids grew increasingly frightened as they spoke, huddling together and trembling.

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

There's no need to think of her as so evil.

After washing up, Xiao Qingyin was reading a storybook while cracking melon seeds. Before she knew it, it was past midnight. She had just blown out the lamp and lay down when she suddenly smelled a bloody odor.

She was instantly wide awake and reached under her pillow. The next instant, a dark figure appeared at the head of the bed. Xiao Qingyin swung her arm to stab, but the other person flashed, grabbed her wrist, and snatched the dagger in the blink of an eye, holding it to her neck.

"Don't make a sound, come with me."

The sound was melodious and pleasant, like jade stones striking each other, and felt very familiar.

Before Xiao Qingyin could recall where she had heard that voice before, she was hoisted onto the other person's shoulder, jumped out of the window, and leaped onto the roof.

This person was incredibly light-footed; he carried someone across the rooftop with the speed of the wind. Xiao Qingyin was not familiar with the capital city, and it was nighttime, so she quickly lost her bearings and didn't know which corner this person had led her to.

Walking so fast, and with her stomach feeling full, Xiao Qingyin felt uncomfortable all over and vomited as soon as she landed.

Yi Shuihan almost threw her out.

He held back, thinking of Yi Sancai, who desperately needed to be saved.

After Xiao Qingyin finished vomiting, she straightened up, and the familiar, beautiful face came into view. She almost blurted out the words "It's you," but fortunately she stopped herself in time.

I'm not sure if the other person has recognized me, so I can't reveal myself.

She cowered, looking at the man in terror: "Who...who are you? Why are you grabbing me?"

Without saying a word, Yi Shuihan pulled her into the room and pointed to the man on the bed with his intestines spilling out, saying, "If you want to live, save him."

Xiao Qingyin: "!!!"

How dare they coerce her into saving someone?

The last person who did that is long gone, their grave is overgrown with weeds.

"Why aren't you making a move yet?" Yi Shuihan urged. Could it be that he had overestimated this woman's medical skills?

Xiao Qingyin spread her hands, "Even a clever housewife can't cook without rice. I don't even have the tools, how can I save him?"

What tools do you need?

"I have a first-aid kit under my bed with the supplies I need."

The items in the medical kit were specially made or self-made by Xiao Qingyin after she transmigrated, and can meet the basic needs of surgical procedures.
