Baili Wanwan was filled with terror, completely forgetting her own strength, because she saw the black aura on Zhao Damei's body spread out completely, which was quite frightening.
She had never encountered such a situation before. Although Zhao Damei had committed many evil deeds, she was not a truly vicious person, but she shouldn't have gone to such lengths...
"Waist!"
Wan Suizhou grabbed Baili Wanwan and exclaimed, "Hurry up and use your magic to force the carriage to stop!"
Upon hearing this, Baili Wanwan instantly realized what was happening. She silently chanted a spell and pointed it directly at the carriage.
The horse stumbled and nearly overturned; no matter how the driver tried to control it, it was clearly to no avail.
At the critical moment, Baili Wanwan rushed out of the carriage and grabbed the reins, finally managing to bring the carriage to a stop.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Damei only wanted to scare them, but she never expected the horse to be so powerful. Now she was so frightened that she was sitting on the ground.
She gasped for breath of fresh air, her face ashen.
"You have to compensate me for my emotional distress!"
After regaining her senses, Zhao Damei continued her tirade. She had originally intended to take this opportunity to extort money, and now she had played right into his hands. However, she was genuinely frightened.
"You stopped the carriage yourself. Evil deeds will surely lead to your downfall. Grandma Da Mei, you must be careful lately, or you might bring about your own demise!"
Baili Wanwan was genuinely trying to offer kind advice, but Zhao Damei took it as a malicious curse.
Zhao Damei indeed started cursing: "You really are shameless! I'm perfectly fine, and you keep talking about my life being in danger. If something really happens to me, the first person I'll come after is you, you little bitch."
Zhao Damei knew perfectly well that although Baili Wanwan was young, she knew a lot and had a promising future.
This little girl is really wicked...
Perhaps it really is some kind of evil being reincarnated, but these people are all blinded by her and refuse to believe it.
"But what Wanwan said is true. If you don't believe me, Grandma Damei will try it. Maybe you'll have backaches, leg cramps, and other pains tomorrow..."
Her words came to an abrupt halt as Wan Suizhou covered her mouth, forcing Baili Wanwan to swallow all her words.
She kept sobbing, trying to say a complete sentence, but in the end, she found that Wan Suizhou was also very strong.
"Don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten how I kept an eye on you? Do you want your identity to be discovered?" Wan Suizhou murmured in Baili Wanwan's ear, her tone carrying a hint of threat. Baili Wanwan nodded hurriedly, indicating that she understood the matter, and was then released.
"Anyway, we won't compensate you for your emotional distress, since we don't owe you anything."
Baili Wanwan lifted her short legs high and easily climbed back onto the carriage.
Wan Suizhou quickly followed behind.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Damei was shameless and stopped the carriage again.
"There's not a single good person in your Wan family! You, as the elder brother, only care about your own family's carefree life, completely neglecting your own younger brother. As for your younger brother, he even beats his own wife! How can a man be so despicable? It's simply outrageous!"
Zhao Damei's forte is being unreasonable and making a scene.
In addition, there's the act of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.
She sat down on the ground, and the villagers gathered around to watch the spectacle.
"This Zhao Damei is really something else. She's shameless and only thinks about extorting money from others. She never relies on her own hands."
Some people in the crowd started pointing fingers at her, saying that she had extorted a lot of money from the villagers.
But they also knew that when they encountered someone as unreasonable and argumentative as her, they could only accept their bad luck.
"It's disgusting. It's really unlucky for our village to have a woman like that."
Baili Wanwan tilted her head and looked at Zhao Damei. She really wanted to make a move, but Grandpa Wan had warned her not to easily reveal her mermaid identity, otherwise she would be in danger.
Although she felt that these ordinary people were no match for her, she knew that one fist could not defeat four feet, and that there was strength in numbers.
Someone went to inform Wan Suijin about this matter, and now everyone can only wait for him to resolve it.
After all, it's whose wife it is, and that's who should discipline her.
Fortunately, after Wan Suijin destroyed the table last time, he remembered the brotherly love and respect he had shared when he was young, and felt that he had let Wan Suizhou down.
He has come to some understanding and now believes that his brother is far more reliable than his unreliable wife.
"You're making a fool of yourself again. Do you have a death wish?"
Wan Suijin rushed up and began tearing at Zhao Damei, who was sitting on the ground: "If you don't want to live anymore, just let us know and we'll have the villagers set you on fire."
Zhao Damei was stunned by the vicious words. This was the first time Wan Suijin had spoken to her like this. Although the couple were not very successful, they were at least respectful to each other, and Wan Suijin always listened to her.
That's why she was willing to stay in this poor, dead man's house. She never expected that this dead man would want to fight with his wife because of a so-called brother!
“You Wan family are just bullying me because my family has no one left. In the end, I am just unlucky and married to the wrong person.”
Zhao Damei began to recall the past. She sobbed and cried, but she gripped the dagger tightly in her hand, preparing to rush up and end Baili Wanwan's life in a moment.
"Back in the day, I was considered a beauty, and many high-ranking officials and nobles took a fancy to me and wanted to take me back as their concubine. But I insisted on believing your lies, you deadbeat. This is definitely the most regrettable thing I've ever done."
Hearing these words, Baili Wanwan suddenly realized that Grandma Damei seemed quite pitiful, but—
Is she really sure she was a beauty when she was young?
That slightly harsh face, no matter how you look at it, looks cold and aloof; it can't possibly be a beautiful woman.
"What are you looking at? It's all because of you, you little brat. Today, I'll take care of you and rid the whole village of a menace."
Zhao Damei seemed to have gone mad. She drew her dagger and rushed towards Baili Wanwan, pointing the dagger directly at her fair neck.
This scene happened so fast that everyone was caught off guard. Baili Wanwan felt a sharp pain and felt as if a large gash had been torn open on her neck.
She had never felt this way before. Wanwan frowned subconsciously and closed her eyes.
Fortunately, the mermaids have good healing abilities, so she shouldn't die, right?
Thinking this, Baili Wanwan completely fell into a coma.
The dream was completely dark, and there seemed to be a whirlpool in front of me.
