Yu Jiao looked at Yang Jiyan's malicious smile and felt very uncomfortable. This reminded her of the people who made trouble in the medical field in her previous life. They all said that people are inherently good at the beginning, but some people can be so evil for no reason.
They have no empathy, and their actions cannot be understood by ordinary people.
Yu Jiao clenched her fingers and looked at Yang Jiyan coldly. Two lives, yet she could say they were insignificant and treated them like playthings.
Yu Jiao had never contacted Dai Bi, nor asked Dai Bi to do anything. How did Yang Jiyan know that Dai Bi had been taken under her wing?
Yang Jiyan looked at Yu Jiao's cold face and felt very happy.
When she walked past Yu Qizhe, she suddenly heard him whisper, "Have you forgotten what I once said?"
Yang Jiyan was stunned. She was afraid to hear Yu Qizhe's low voice. It would easily remind her of the vicious and sinister look of this man that night. Although she still wanted to marry him, she was already afraid of this man's cruelty.
Yang Jiyan looked at Yu Qizhe and found that he didn't even look at her. His expression was calm and indifferent. Yang Jiyan even suspected that she had heard it wrongly. At this time, she heard Yu Qizhe speak again. His voice was still low and cold, "You really have to be more careful in the future."
Although these words were incoherent, Yang Jiyan broke out in cold sweats after hearing them, because Meng Yujiao seemed to have really irritated Yu Qizhe.
Yang Jiyan, somewhat embarrassedly, forced herself to walk out of the teahouse with two maids.
The image of the year when the Zhou family was ransacked appeared before her eyes. This man had a grim look on his face, and he was wearing a red official uniform and holding a long sword in his hand, standing in the main hall of the Zhou family with a dignified look.
The sycamore trees in the yard were in full bloom. The pungent and choking stench was mixed with the painful groans before death. Blood was dripping slowly from the cold sword. The heads of the men in the Zhou family rolled to the ground. The head of her husband Zhou Yun fell beside her, and his terrified eyes looked in her direction like dead fish eyes.
What was she thinking at that moment?
Yang Jiyan tried hard to recall it. She seemed not to be thinking about anything at that time. Her husband was beheaded in front of her and the Zhou family was ransacked, but she only felt endless joy and relief in her heart.
She even looked up with gratitude while kneeling on the ground to see the man who was rumored to be the youngest number one scholar in Taiyan, a man who, in just a few days, had taken advantage of the influence of the Qingliu family to rise from a seventh-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy to the position of Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
Was the obsession to marry this man in this life planted at that time?
Yu Qizhe’s cold face appeared in Yang Jiyan’s mind. This man was becoming more and more like the man in his previous life.
She glanced at the red lanterns hanging on the eaves at the corner of the street. The New Year was approaching and the Spring Examination was not far away.
Yang Jiyan closed her eyes, she would soon witness how Yu Qizhe rose step by step to higher positions, getting along well with both the Imperial Household Department and the treacherous party, becoming a close minister to the emperor. Although he would be scolded as a treacherous and cruel official by the upright people, it could not stop him from gaining more power and becoming the second powerful minister like Cheng Ying who was feared by everyone!
She would still marry a man like this, no matter how much he hated her because of Meng Yujiao!
Although she was afraid of Yu Qizhe's future coldness and ruthlessness, Yang Jiyan didn't believe that if she married him, he would still kill the person next to him.
In this life, she wants to stand, stand beside Yu Qizhe, wearing the fourth-rank imperial robes, and watch Zhou Yun’s head fall to the ground with her own eyes.
In the teahouse, after Yang Jiyan left, Yu Jiao asked, "What did you tell her?"
Yu Qizhe shook his head. "Nothing. I just had to explain to her what I needed to say. What about the maid she just mentioned?"
Yu Jiao then remembered that she had never told Yu Qizhe about the many times Yang Jiyan had tried to harm her.
Yu Fuling couldn't help it. She really hated Yang Jiyan now. She was so blind to such a vicious woman before! When she was in Qingzhou, Yu Jiao reminded her to be careful and not to get too close to Yang Jiyan. She also thought that Yang Jiyan, a young lady from a wealthy family, must not be that bad. Now the more she saw the true face of this woman, the more terrifying she felt.
"She is not a good person. On the way from Qiyun County to Danzhou Grain Store with Yu Jiao, Yang Jiyan ordered the maid to bribe the bandits and intended to kill Yu Jiao! Not only that, when you went to Qingzhou for the provincial examination, Yu Jiao was invited by the Second Master of the Mu Family to see Madam Yang. When we met for the first time, Yang Jiyan ordered the maid to lead Yu Jiao and me to the wrong garden. We accidentally overheard other people's conversation and were almost killed to silence us."
Yu Fuling originally wanted to say that she ran into Young Marquis Gu and Young Master Liu, but then she remembered that Young Master Liu was Yu Jiao's biological brother, and because Liu Yaoyu was there, she just said it was someone else.
"What? That Yang Jiyan is so vicious and has harmed Yu Jiao time and again?" Liu Yaoyu was furious after hearing this. She wanted to roll up her sleeves and catch Yang Jiyan again. "No, Third Sister, I must help you vent your anger! I know who her father is. When I go back, I will tell Dad how the Yang family raised their children to raise such a cunning and vicious girl!"
Yu Qizhe's eyes also sank. He actually didn't know that this was not the first time that Yu Jiao was harmed by bandits. When they were in Qingzhou, Yang Jiyan had already harmed Yu Jiao.
