"Ding Qingshui, I have something to tell you, something very important to you." Qiu Yi said as she walked towards Ding Qingshui.
Ding Qingshui looked at Qiu Yi and asked, "What is it, Qiu Yi?"
"Didn't you want to know why Liu Xiaoyuan was able to cure your invisible Gu? I can tell you the answer," Qiu Yi said with a smile, walking step by step to Ding Qingshui.
Ding Qingshui really wanted to know why Liu Xiaoyuan would so easily vomit out his Gu poison; it was simply too unbelievable.
"What's the reason?" Ding Qingshui asked hurriedly.
"Here's what happened. The reason Liu Xiaoyuan was able to remove your invisible Gu is because he..." Qiu Yi said slowly. Just as she was about to reveal the answer, Qiu Yi suddenly picked up her cane and struck Ding Qingshui in the chest.
Caught off guard by Qiu Yi, Ding Qingshui took two steps back to steady himself, then coughed violently, coughing up blood.
"Qiu Yi, what are you doing?" Ding Qingshui was clearly surprised that Qiu Yi would attack him.
Qiu Yi laughed twice, pleased with his successful sneak attack.
"Ding Qingshui, how dare you ask me what I'm doing? I wonder if you still remember that incident from fifty years ago, about a man named Tan Wensong?" Qiu Yi asked coldly.
"Tan Wensong, Tan Wensong?" Upon hearing this name, Ding Qingshui was so startled that she took two steps back and asked, "Are you Tan Wensong's betrothed?"
Qiu Yi said, "Ding Qingshui, your memory is good. I am Wen Xueju, Tan Wensong's betrothed."
Liu Xiaoyuan originally wanted to take action, but after hearing the conversation between Ding Qingshui and Qiu Yi, he realized that their relationship was not simple and that they might even have a grudge.
In addition, Xiaoxin's grandmother, Qiu Yi, is actually named Wen Xueju, not Qiu Yi.
It seems there are many stories behind this. Liu Xiaoyuan decided not to take action yet, but to listen to their story.
“Wen Xueju, you are Wen Xueju, how could it be you? You... didn’t you fall off a cliff and die back then?” Ding Qingshui asked in surprise.
Wen Xueju laughed and said, "Heaven has eyes, and I was spared from death. I've been waiting for this day to avenge my husband, Tan Wensong, and kill you, you hypocrite."
"Wen Xueju, listen to me, what happened back then was a misunderstanding, Wen Song's death was not my fault," Ding Qingshui said quickly.
Wen Xueju snorted coldly and said, "Ding Qingshui, do you think I'd believe that nonsense? Am I still a three-year-old? I've investigated what happened back then very thoroughly. It was you who harmed Wen Song!"
After saying that, Wen Xueju picked up her cane and struck Ding Qingshui. Although Ding Qingshui was slightly injured, it did not cause him to lose his position in the team. Faced with Wen Xueju's attack, Ding Qingshui naturally avoided her sharp edge and quickly dodged.
Wen Xueju wielded her cane with great force, launching one attack after another, making it difficult for Ding Qingshui to defend himself.
Liu Xiaoyuan, who was watching from the sidelines, was quite surprised to see Wen Xueju wielding her cane so skillfully. She was completely different from the frail old woman he had seen before.
It seems that Wen Xueju has kept many things from Xiaoxin and hasn't let her know them.
While dodging, Ding Qingshui said, "Wen Xueju, I'm telling you, I didn't harm Wen Song, you have to believe me!"
Just then, Xiaoxin's maternal grandmother rushed over to help, but Xiaoxin's maternal grandmother was obviously a well-bred lady who knew nothing and was kicked away by Wen Xueju.
"Wen Xueju, if you don't stop, I'll kill your Tan family's only bloodline, Xiaoxin!" Xiaoxin's maternal grandfather saw that Wen Xueju was pressing him relentlessly and that his own life was in danger, so he threatened Xiaoxin's life.
Upon hearing Ding Qingshui threaten Wen Xueju with Xiaoxin's life, Liu Xiaoyuan felt that this person deserved to die and was truly despicable. Xiaoxin was, after all, a member of your Ding family, and now you're threatening Wen Xueju with Xiaoxin's life just to save your own. This is even more despicable than a petty person.
"Haha... Ding Qingshui, do you think you can threaten me with Xiaoxin's life? Let me tell you, even if you kill Xiaoxin, I won't be in any trouble," Wen Xueju laughed.
Good heavens! Another cold-blooded animal. Xiaoxin is your own granddaughter. How could you say such a thing? You're worse than an animal.
"Ding Qingshui, isn't it strange? Why would I even give up the bloodline of the Tan family? Isn't that strange?" Wen Xueju laughed. "Since you find it strange, then I'll tell you, Xiaoxin is not a descendant of the Tan family at all!"
"What? What did you say?" Ding Qingshui asked in surprise.
Wen Xueju said, "Back then, your daughter was pregnant with our Tan family's child, but she died in childbirth. The child she gave birth to also died soon after. In order to make your Ding family believe that Xiao Xin was still alive, I specially bought a child to impersonate Xiao Xin. Didn't expect that, did you, Ding Qingshui?"
"Grandma, are you telling the truth?" Xiao Xin had come to the side at some point and overheard everything.
Wen Xueju and Ding Qingshui were surprised that Xiaoxin would come.
"Grandma, is what you just said true?" She walked up to Wen Xueju and grabbed her arm to ask.
Wen Xueju glanced at Xiao Xin, nodded, and said, "Yes, what I just said is true. You are the one I bought from outside."
"No..." Xiao Xin screamed, as if she had gone mad, tightly gripping Wen Xueju's arm and saying, "Grandma, you're lying to me, aren't you? Grandma, you're lying to me, aren't you?"
“Why would I lie to you?” Wen Xueju said. “I bought you to deal with the Ding family. You are just a pawn in my game.”
While Wen Xueju and Xiao Xin were talking, Ding Qingshui took advantage of Wen Xueju's distraction and immediately used his Invisible Gu, which Wen Xueju was immediately affected by.
After Wen Xueju was hit, Ding Qingshui laughed and said, "Wen Xueju, prepare to die."
After saying that, Ding Qingshui revealed a ferocious smile and shook the bell in his hand. Wen Xueju immediately clutched her chest in pain and rolled on the ground.
"Grandma, Grandma..." Xiao Xin cried out.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, please spare Grandma, Grandpa..." Xiao Xin ran up to Ding Qingshui and begged for mercy.
Even when Ding Qingshui didn't know the truth, he could use Xiaoxin's life as leverage to threaten Wen Xueju, let alone now that Xiaoxin is no longer his granddaughter.
Ding Qingshui shoved Xiaoxin aside and yelled, "Get out of here!"
Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't bear to watch any longer. Ding Qingshui and Wen Xueju were both heartless and ungrateful people. It was just a pity for Xiaoxin, the girl.
Although Xiao Xin had committed suicide, Liu Xiaoyuan no longer felt any affection for Xiao Xin at this moment; he only felt that she was a pitiful girl.
