The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

When the woman heard Qingyin talking about her husband, she was slightly stunned, then she subconsciously smiled bitterly.

Maybe it was because she hadn’t talked to anyone like this in a long time, she seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be answering Qingyin’s words.

"Without the permission of his parents or the matchmaker, without the wedding ceremony, without the wedding dress or the red veil, what kind of husband is he?"

When Qing Yin heard her words, he was moved and asked again, "Were you forced by him? Were you abducted?"

"Haha, you are really good at guessing."

"How can this be a blind guess? Wasn't I also kidnapped? I heard what you said before, and Miss Qiu, wasn't she also kidnapped by him?"

Qingyin heard them talking about Miss Qiu, but she was tied up here and had never seen Miss Qiu. Now she wanted to tentatively ask to see if she could find out about Miss Qiu's situation.

"You want to compete with me?" The woman, Yan'er, suddenly became angry when she heard Qingyin say this. "He and I have had similar fates. We have been through wind and rain together, and endured life and death together. That's why he is with me and is my wife. Who are you?"

"You are nothing! That Miss Qiu is the type of person he hates the most, a rich lady, who is so high and mighty that she looks down on him."

Yan'er leaned over, pinched Qingyin's chin and lifted her face up.

"So, Miss Qiu will die, but you, maybe you can still survive? However, your face is too outstanding, I don't like it very much. You can think about it, do you want to put a branding iron on your face, or do you want to cut it with a knife?"

She started to laugh. "Look, considering that we both come from maidservant backgrounds, I've given you the chance to choose. You can pick the words on the brand. Do you want to carve the word 'slave' or 'slut'? If all else fails, you can carve a toad. Hahaha!"

Yan'er pinched Qingyin's chin and laughed so hard that her body shook. She felt excited just imagining the scene.

"You can stay and help me when the time comes. I am often bored alone. How about you be my maid in the future? I will also teach you how to make lanterns, just like Brother Yi taught me. You don't know that making a lantern is very troublesome..."

Qingyin's heart trembled when she saw her weird look.

Make lanterns?

It seems that the lady's guess was correct. Those lanterns were made by Liu Yi.

But why?

"We have also obtained several thousand-craft lanterns, which are indeed very exquisite. The craftsmanship inherited from the Liu family is indeed not exaggerated. Even King Jin praised it highly."

Qingyin thought to herself, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't mention the young lady at this time and attract the attention of such a crazy woman, so let's talk about you.

When Yan'er heard about the Thousand-Worker Lantern, her expression suddenly changed and she became very indignant.

"What Liu family's ancestral craft? The Liu family's ancestors were thieves and liars! The first to make exquisite lanterns was another Liu family! It was my brother's grandfather! The current Liu family's old man is despicable and shameless. He cheated others of their craftsmanship and stole their methods to make exquisite lanterns. He also took the lanterns that my brother's grandfather made with great effort to present to the nobles and became famous in the palace!"

Is there any secret behind this?

Seeing that she was excited, Qingyin remained silent and did not interrupt her.

Yan'er was angry for Liu Yi and kept talking, "The Liu family's lanterns became famous, and the Liu family made a lot of money and became extremely wealthy. That's not all. Back then, the old man of the Liu family instigated a gangster to steal from Brother Yi's family, but he accidentally knocked over a candle and burned all of Brother Yi's family to death. Only Brother Yi escaped."

"He reported it to the authorities, but after investigating, the authorities said it was an accident. They only arrested the bastard, gave him 20 strokes of the cane, and sentenced him to exile. But no one in the Liu family was harmed!"

"Brother Yi was so angry that he found the Liu family and planned to become an apprentice. He kept trying to please Old Man Liu and was eventually adopted as his son. But when Second Master Liu wanted to talk about marriage, the Liu family picked out several girls. Obviously, there was a girl who liked Brother Yi. Brother Yi went to ask the old master, saying that he wanted to marry that girl, but he was humiliated by First and Second Master Liu."

"That girl must be from a good family, right?" Qingyin asked.

She felt that it was time to respond so that Yan'er could continue speaking.

Sure enough, when Yan'er heard her say that the girl was from a high-class family, she became even more agitated, and her face was distorted with anger.

"Even if she is a daughter of an official, so what? I heard that her father is also a fool, and he will definitely not be promoted. Her family is also very poor. I even saw her borrow money from her cousin Miss Sun to buy a hairpin. What's so noble about her?"

Miss Sun’s cousin!

It turns out that before Mo Qingqing got married, she had already had interactions with Yan'er and Liu Yi?

"She was flirting with Brother Yi when she bought the lanterns herself, and she even left a handkerchief for Brother Yi, which clearly showed that she was in love with him. Later, the Liu family was unwilling to help Brother Yi propose marriage, and when Brother Yi went to find that young lady and said that he wanted to save up enough money to propose marriage in person, that woman actually gave Brother Yi a cold look and said that he was a poor apprentice and wanted to eat swan meat!"

Yan'er snorted coldly, "She even pooh-poohed Brother Yi twice, and said that even if he was good at making lanterns, he made them for the Liu family and earned money for the Liu family. He was just a dog of the Liu family. People only know about the Liu family's lanterns, but how could they know that it was made by Liu Yi?"

"When Brother Yi left in a daze, he met the Third Young Master's wife..." When she said this, Yan'er suddenly looked a little melancholy. She was stunned for a long while, and her eyes became a little red.

"Madam San Shao, is she the wife of Master Liu San who died of illness?" Qing Yin was afraid that she would not continue, so she asked quickly.

But maybe the mention of Mo Qingqing triggered something in Yan'er, and she suddenly slapped Qingyan's face fiercely.

"Bad maid!"

Qingyin almost wanted to bite her, but thinking of her current situation, she tried to hold back.

The ropes on her hands hadn't been untied yet, so there was no point in her trying to be tough now.

But Yan'er's inexplicable rage was really weird.

"You must be a traitor too. I heard from Brother Yi that you were given to Second Miss Lu by the King of Jin. You must want to abandon Second Miss Lu and crawl back into the King of Jin's bed in the future! You were supposed to be serving the King of Jin, so how could you watch another woman occupy his mind?"

Yan'er stood up straight and glared at her hatefully.

"A slave is a slave."

"Dangdang!"

There was a sudden sound in the backyard, as if something fell to the ground.

Yan'er's expression changed slightly, and then she gritted her teeth, "You're really looking for death!"

After saying that, she rushed out quickly, and the sound of her footsteps went to the back.

Could it be that the noise was made by Miss Qiu?

Qingyin hurriedly untied the rope on her hands, not caring about the deep red marks left on her wrists.
