After the group of people had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already dark. Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin sensibly helped to pack up.
Yu Feng would never let them do it. He gave a look to the two guards, and they hurriedly took the initiative to clean up the mess.
As night fell, Yu Feng and his companions naturally did not want to stay any longer, so they got up and said goodbye.
Riding on the horse, Yu Feng looked deeply at the sky that was still dimly lit, "Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"
The guard who was following behind and still savoring the delicious meal just now suddenly woke up and regained his seriousness, "We have found out that she was indeed abandoned by the Jiang family because of her ugly appearance and came to the countryside to meet General Ye. She used to beat and scold the two children, but after burning down the house, she suddenly changed her personality. Not only did she treat the two children as her own, but she also learned how to do business and made a lot of money. Later, her appearance was restored."
Yu Feng's expression changed again and again, and in the end he didn't say a word.
…
She got up early the next day as usual. The two children had already gotten used to her schedule and got up with her to do morning exercises.
After breakfast and sending the two children to school, Jiang Xueying prepared to go to town.
The chef of Yueyinglou has basically learned many of the dishes she taught, but the special sauce was made by her herself, so it would not be leaked. Even if the chef learned her cooking skills, the taste would be greatly reduced without this sauce.
As soon as Jiang Xueying went out, she ran into Qiao.
"Sister Qiao, where are you going?"
When she saw it was Jiang Xueying, Qiao immediately smiled and said, "Sister, are you going out?"
Although the two families now live next to each other, Jiang Xueying is either busy tending vegetables in the mountains or looking after a restaurant in the town every day, and the two have not seen each other for several days.
"Yeah, I'm just about to go to town, where are you going, Sister Qiao?"
When she heard Jiang Xueying's question, Qiao remembered the purpose of her going out. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes and she sighed.
"Hey, I was just about to go see Xiao Taozi. Her parents get up early, and her only brother has been away from home for years doing business. Her sister-in-law treats her... Hey, that child is pitiful. I asked her to pick some vegetables from the fields two days ago, and I haven't seen her in the past two days. I'm really worried."
Jiang Xueying had never heard of such a thing. Since it was still early, she followed Qiao to take a look.
When the two arrived, Xiao Taozi was washing clothes in the yard. She was still wearing clothes that had turned white from washing, covering her skinny body.
"Little Peach!"
Mrs. Qiao called out to her, and Xiao Taozi finally raised her head. There were still traces of tears on her cheeks, and her eyes were red, probably because she had just cried. Her clothes were pulled on her body and looked ill-fitting.
After wiping away her tears, Xiao Taozi quickly stood up and opened the door for the two of them, "Sister Qiao, why are you here?"
When they got closer, they saw that Xiao Taozi's arms, with her sleeves rolled up, were covered in red and purple marks, which were obviously caused by being beaten.
Mrs. Qiao immediately grabbed her hand and looked at the red marks on her little arm with heartache, "This...you didn't have these marks on your body two days ago. Did your sister-in-law beat you again?"
Xiao Taozi retracted her hand in fear, pulled down her sleeve to cover the marks on her arm, and quickly shook her head pretending nothing had happened.
"Sister, I'm fine. I fell on my own. It has nothing to do with my sister-in-law!"
Mrs. Qiao knew exactly what was going on. She thought about how Xiao Taozi was just a girl in her teens but was beaten like this, and even covered up for her barbaric sister-in-law. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got for her.
Before Qiao could say anything, a sarcastic voice came from behind him, "Hey, I was wondering who is here, why are you here, why are you here in my house?"
After saying that, Yu glared fiercely at Xiao Taozi who didn't dare to look up. Only after seeing her trembling and taking a step back did she walk into the yard with satisfaction.
Normally, Qiao was actually a gentle person who never made enemies or quarreled with anyone, but now he could no longer tolerate Qiao's behavior.
"Yu Lianhua, you've really gone too far. Xiao Taozi is just a child. It's fine that you ask her to serve you, but now you beat her like this. Do you still have a conscience? Don't think that no one will take care of you when your man is not at home. Believe it or not, I'll tell the village chief!"
When Yu heard that Qiao was actually using the village chief to threaten her, she immediately got angry and started to act tough with her hands on her hips.
"Mr. Yang, when did it become your turn to make decisions about our family affairs? Xiao Taozi belongs to me, and I can do whatever I want to her. You even told the village chief. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Today I'll show you that I'm not so easy to bully!"
As he spoke, Yu rushed towards Qiao and the other two.
Xiao Taozi was shocked when she saw it and immediately went over to stop Yu.
However, how could his already malnourished and frail body be a match for Yu? He slapped Yu to the ground, even kicked her angrily, and pounced on the shocked Qiao.
Qiao was stunned, but Jiang Xueying, who had been standing behind her, quickly restrained Yu's evil hand and squeezed it gently. Then Yu's scream like a pig being slaughtered was heard.
"Ah! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go now! What does this have to do with you? Don't meddle in other people's business!"
Yu had heard of Jiang Xueying's abilities a long time ago. She had taught the Gu and Liu families a lesson in the past. Yu was still a little afraid of her.
Jiang Xueying looked at Yu coldly for her cowardly look and pushed her aside.
"If you touch the Qiao family sister, you are touching me. And you want to hit someone in front of me?"
With Jiang Xueying intimidating Yu, Qiao quickly stepped forward to pull up Xiao Taozi. Looking at her bloody arm, she was anxious and angry, "She is too cruel. If she continues like this, she will definitely beat you to death!"
However, Xiao Taozi was still a child after all. Where could she go if she was not at home? Now that her parents were gone and her only brother was not at home, who could she follow if not her sister-in-law?
Xiao Taozi also knew very well that if the two of them left today, Yu would definitely not let her go. She would be skinned alive if not killed. What should she do?
Thinking about the days she had lived these days and the hopeless days to come, she couldn't help but throw herself into Qiao's arms and cry.
"Little bitch, why are you crying? It's fine if you're lazy on weekdays, but I still give you something to eat. Your brother is not at home. If I hadn't taken care of your eating, drinking, and defecation, you would have died a long time ago. Today, I think you deliberately found outsiders to disgust me. Am I treating you unfairly?"
While touching her painful wrist, Yu glared at the three people who wanted to attack her together. She was angry in her heart that this damn girl dared to invite outsiders to her house to bully her. She must teach this girl a lesson.
