Chapter 551 Forced Marriage
The more Puyang Huan acted guilty, the more everyone understood what she was hiding.
"Miss Huan'er, this is the most important forbidden area in our Wuxiang Valley. If everyone wants to live in peace, they must abide by our rules. Tell us what you know, and don't wait until a disaster occurs to regret it." The second master said.
"Young lady won't tell me, so I will." Zhang said angrily, "These past few days, Miss Qin has been secretly asking about the traps in our valley. Our young lady is simple-minded and believes that she is just curious, so I told her the approximate location. I never thought that something like this would happen today. The person who broke in is most likely Miss Qin. But we don't know why she did this."
"Nurse, I've said it many times, Sister Qin can't be a spy sent by the court, don't doubt her anymore." Puyang Huan said angrily, "I'm not in good health, but she is still willing to be my friend and take me out to play every day. Although she always takes me to various valleys, I am also very happy."
"Miss, you are too naive. She is using you." Zhang said, "She was indifferent to you not long ago, but now she is so enthusiastic about you. Isn't there something wrong?"
The four masters looked at Puyang Qiubai.
"My lord, give the order. This woman cannot stay."
"Even if we want to sentence her, shouldn't we ask the person involved?" Ouyang Qianyu said, "Can we convict her based on their one-sided statements?"
"If she is in there, then there is nothing to ask. Everyone in the entire valley knows that this is a forbidden area and anyone who enters without permission will be killed. If the lord breaks an exception today and everyone breaks the rules in the future, then what rules will we have in our Wuxiang Valley?" said the fourth master.
"Outsiders shouldn't be allowed in here." Zhang said, "This woman has ulterior motives and is most likely a spy sent by the court. In order to eliminate future troubles, we should get rid of this woman."
Puyang Qiubai said with a cold face: "There are so many of you teaching me how to do things. Are you dissatisfied with me as your lord and want to replace me?"
"My lord, we don't mean that, nor do we dare to have such thoughts. As long as you get rid of this woman who shouldn't be there, we in Wuxiang Valley can still be united as before." Zhang said.
"You are in a hurry to sentence her to death before you even see her. How can a little girl like her be a hindrance to you?" Zhuge Congfeng sneered.
"Um...what happened here?" a puzzled voice sounded.
When everyone heard the voice, they turned around at the same time and saw Qin Huiyin with long hair, looking like she had just woken up from a dream.
"Yinyin, where were you just now?" Ouyang Qianyu looked at her in surprise.
"I was sleeping! But I heard a loud noise, and thought something happened, so I followed the sound and came over to see what was going on." Qin Huiyin said, "What are you doing here?"
"You didn't enter this forbidden area?" Zhuge Congyun asked.
"Is this your forbidden area? I don't know! I'm a weak woman who doesn't know martial arts, why would I run around in the middle of the night?" Qin Huiyin said, "Why are you asking this?"
"Sister Qin, I was really scared." Puyang Huan held her hand and said, "During the day you asked me how to leave the valley, and I thought you broke into this forbidden area in order to leave the valley!"
Everyone looked at Qin Huiyin with dangerous eyes.
In everyone's opinion, this woman was dishonest and wanted to escape from the valley, so she was very likely to betray them. Once their whereabouts were exposed, the court would send troops to encircle and suppress them.
"Sister Huan'er, I just asked you how often you go out of the valley and how you purchase supplies on weekdays. I didn't say you were going to leave the valley, right?" Qin Huiyin looked at Puyang Huan in surprise. "Your words can easily cause misunderstandings. I am a friend invited by Brother Zhuge, not your captive. I am having a lot of fun here. Even if I want to leave, Brother Zhuge will lead me out openly. How could I ask you for the route to leave?"
"What was that bell and drum sound just now?" someone asked.
Puyang Qiubai said, "I'll go take a look."
As he spoke, he stepped into the entrance of the forbidden area.
Not long after, Puyang Qiubai came out holding a rabbit and said, "It was this little creature that accidentally got in and set off the alarm mechanism, causing the bells and drums to ring."
"It turned out to be a misunderstanding!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The tense atmosphere suddenly eased.
Zhang looked unwilling.
How could that be?
This woman has been asking for routes every day recently and taking them around in the valley. Isn't it to explore the traps in advance?
Once this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to deal with her in the future. This woman is so cunning, and in this situation, she is very likely to realize that they want to kill her.
"Fortunately, Miss Qin did nothing wrong, otherwise it would be really difficult for the lord. In fact, this cannot be blamed on us. We are all family members in this valley, and only Miss Qin is an outsider. If something happened, the first suspect would of course be Miss Qin." Zhang said.
"My Lord, what Zhang said is what we think as well." The master said, "Everyone is here today, my Lord, please give me a definite answer! Either I give her a bowl of potion to make her forget the past and live only in our valley from now on. Or my Lord, you marry her and let her become our mistress."
Qin Huiyin: “…”
She looked at Puyang Qiubai.
Zhuge Congfeng and Ouyang Qianyu protected Qin Huiyin one in front and one behind.
Puyang Qiu said calmly: "If I, as your lord, agree to your choice of one of these two conditions today, does that mean that the Wuxiang League is not centered on me, and I am just a puppet you have kept in captivity?"
"My lord, we have tried so hard to find you and have suffered so much. Have we ever been disrespectful to you?" The master was both angry and furious.
"Masters, you have done me a favor, and Qiu Bai has never dared to forget it. However, a favor is a favor, but it cannot be used to hold it hostage. If you masters want me to continue to be the lord, you must follow my rules. Since Miss Qin did not enter the forbidden area and did not break the rules of our Wuxiang League, she does not need to be restricted. Okay, let's all go back!"
"My Lord, this matter today is not up to you." The Third Master said, "To tell you the truth, Miss Qin's body is already poisoned by me."
"What did you say?" Zhuge Congfeng and Puyang Qiubai asked in unison.
Qin Huiyin was angry: "When?"
"A few days ago, Miss Qin was not feeling well and came to see me. I put a little poison in her body. The poison will not harm your life, but it will make you lose your memory. However, don't worry, Miss, the disease has not yet occurred. If there is no antidote in ten days, I will be very sorry." The third master said.
