However, no matter how much she pretended to be kind, she could not change her habit. Xue Ling had always despised the poor. She was unwilling to stand near them, let alone talk to them.

“You mean…” Qian Yiyun still did not understand Yan Nuo.

Since Xue Ling was pretending, shouldn’t she pretend more to convince us that she’s a kind person?

“I’ve found out that the flood was caused by man,” Yan Nuo said.

“What?!”

Qian Yiyun was shocked. She did not expect the flood to be caused by man.

Many people had died, and they had almost suffered the same fate. If not for her sister-in-law’s help, they might have…

“Yan Nuo, are you saying that Xue Ling tricked me into coming here and lured my brother to pursue us on purpose?”

“Don’t you think so, Miss?” Yan Nuo asked.

Now that he thought about it, he was convinced Xue Ling did it on purpose.

How else could he explain the coincidence? The man-made flood occurred just as they had settled down in Shangchen Village.

“I—” Qian Yiyun opened her mouth but could not say a complete sentence.

If Yan Nuo was right, how terrifying would Xue Ling be? She claimed to admire and respect her brother, but what did she do? She wanted to kill her brother!

To think she used to trust this vicious woman!

“I remember now. Didn’t I tell you Xue Ling was walking around the courtyard before the flood? She had to be searching for something to keep her from being washed away by the flood!”

However, Xue Ling did not anticipate not having the opportunity.

They were staying at the farmhouse, and Qian Yiyun had pleaded with Xue Ling to share a room with her because she had trusted her.

She recalled Xue Ling’s reluctance back then. She probably wanted to escape the flood while everyone was sleeping.

“I was wondering why the two farmers looked so awkward. So they weren’t farmers. Was Xue Ling informing them to strike?”

It was hard to imagine that the cause of so many deaths was not a natural disaster but a man-made one!

“Where’s Xue Ling? How is she now?” She looked at Yan Nuo with a venomous gaze.

If Xue Ling was right in front of her, she would reach out and strangle that vicious woman to death.

She was willing and capable of doing it!

“Master had her thrown into the group of infected soldiers. She should be infected by now.”

Yan Nuo replied, certain that she would have contracted the disease by now. However, he felt that letting her contract the disease was far from enough!

Qian Yiyun gritted her teeth and asked Yan Nuo, “We’re letting her off so easily?”

It was not enough for her to contract the epidemic disease. Many people died because of her. The entire Xue family should die to make up for all the lost lives!

“We won’t let her off so easily. Master will deal with her,” Yan Nuo assured.

He did not want to say much about Xue Ling. That woman was not the main culprit. She had someone backing her. If they could not find out who it was, killing Xue Ling would not be avenging the dead.
