Moreover, her brother was a good swimmer. If he was alone, he would have been able to escape. However, even he was helpless before a disobedient Xue Ling.

“Hmph!” Xue Ling snorted coldly.

“It was Brother Yun’s fault for insisting on looking for that woman. She’s already gone, so he should just let her go. He can marry me! Isn’t that a good thing? But he chose to come to this godforsaken place to look for her. Look, we’re all in trouble now.”

She had always wanted to stop Qian Jiyun from looking for that woman, but no one listened to her.

If I don’t stir up some trouble, I’ll be giving up without a fight! I won’t do that! I just didn’t expect to be caught in a flood and bullied by An Jiuyue, that b*tch.

Just you wait! I’ll send someone to teach her a lesson when I return home!

Qian Yiyun was speechless. She was unsure of how to respond to Xue Ling’s words.

Is there anything wrong with my brother coming here to search for his wife?

Her mother saved my brother’s life. The knife was smeared with lethal poison. He would have died if she did not shield him.

However, he was sent straight to the battlefield on his wedding night. He couldn’t even catch a glimpse of his bride’s face.

On the other hand, my sister-in-law was chased out of the house after someone spread false news of my brother’s death. No one knows if she is dead or alive. It will be inhumane to not look for her.

“Sister Xue Ling, will you be happy if your in-laws chase you out of the house, leave you to die alone, and your husband doesn’t come looking for you?” she asked.

“I…” Xue Ling’s expression darkened.

What does this brat mean? Is she cursing me that I would be chased out of my in-laws’ house? Or that I would die? How can there be such a vicious person?!

None of that will happen to me! I am going to marry Brother Yun in the future and become a proper marchioness!

“I heard that she couldn’t be found. She was chased out of her parents’ home too. Maybe she got married somewhere else. Maybe she gave birth to a few children too. What’s the point of looking for someone like that? ”

Qian Yiyun immediately shook her head. “No, that won’t happen. My sister-in-law is not like that.”

She had interacted with her sister-in-law for some time and knew she was a gentle person. There was no way she would marry someone else so casually.

She was sure that her sister-in-law was waiting for her brother somewhere.

“Yan Yan, don’t let that woman fool—”

Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed Qian Yiyun open her palm. A jade pendant of extraordinary quality sat in the middle of it.

“Sister Xue Ling, isn’t this jade pendant pretty?” Qian Yiyun asked.

Xue Ling raised her eyebrows. Anything Qian Yiyun carried around looked good.

“It is quite pretty. Why? Do you want to gift it to someone?”

She pursed her lips. She felt that she could forgive Qian Jiyun reluctantly for searching for his wife if Qian Yiyun gave her this jade pendant.

Of course, she would be even happier if Qian Jiyun could gift her a jade pendant as a token of his love.

She would let bygones be bygones.

“Yes.” Qian Yiyun nodded.

“You…”
