Ding Yao looked at Zhao Caiyun, she said word by word, “You like Song Xiuyan, but your family doesn’t support you. And you don’t like Song Xiuyan to the point of throwing your life away, so your act of wanting to die just now is very suspicious. Tell me, who was the one who ordered you to do this?!”

After hearing Ding Yao’s words, Song Xiuyan was extremely impressed by Ding Yao’s insight. This little girl could see through people’s hearts even more than him, who had lived a new life. That’s right, Zhao Caiyun didn’t love him to the point of giving up her life. In her previous life, Zhao Caiyun had boldly confessed to him. At that time, he didn’t pay any attention to her. At that time, his bad luck was on the line, and the people in the village avoided him as much as possible. Zhao Caiyun’s parents also objected to Zhao Caiyun’s contact with him. Zhao Caiyun also hesitated. In the end, in order to live a comfortable life, she married a rich local widow, a man about the same age as Zhao Caiyun’s father. It showed that Zhao Caiyun was a very realistic woman. She wasn’t stupid. She knew that this matter would easily be exposed. If it was exposed, her life would be ruined. In short, Zhao Caiyun wouldn’t do such a crazy thing just because she liked him.

Song Xiuyan relayed Ding Yao’s words. Zhao Caiyun’s father also felt that it was strange. He grabbed Zhao Caiyun’s mother and asked, “Are you hiding something from me and Dashan?”

Zhao Caiyun’s mother looked at Zhao Caiyun in fear. Zhao Caiyun had previously told her that they couldn’t tell the truth. If they did, their entire family would be doomed! Zhao Caiyun was obviously very afraid, but she immediately sobbed to cover it up. “I’ve been screwed by Ding Yao’s stepmother!”

Everyone quickly asked what was going on. How did this matter involve Ding Yao’s stepmother, Hongxia? Zhao Caiyun quickly explained that a strange woman had approached her last night and asked her if she wanted to marry Song Xiuyan. She was silent for a moment and said that it didn’t matter. Song Xiuyan didn’t like her, so the woman said she should seduce him and fight for her own happiness. She said that Song Xiuyan was different from before. His family was rich now, and they didn’t need to suspend school anymore. It was only a matter of time before they left the mountains for a bigger city. In addition to the relationship between Song Xiuyan’s family and General Long Zhanyuan, the Song family’s days would only get better and better. Zhao Caiyun was tempted by his words. Later, the woman made a move on her and said that she had a way to ensure that Song Xiuyan could marry her. She should first drug Song Xiuyan’s food and then seduce him. If Song Xiuyan didn’t fall for it, she would use the second method. She would use other things to break her hymen, and Song Xiuyan would be responsible for her.

At that time, Zhao Caiyun was shocked and asked the strange woman why she had encouraged her to do this. What was her motive? Did she know how terrible her fate would be if she was seen through? However, the woman said, “Wealth comes from risks. Although this kind of thing has risks, the chances of winning are higher. As long as you do this, Song Xiuyan won’t be able to explain himself. He will have no choice but to marry you. If he doesn’t marry you, there will be a lawsuit. At that time, his future will be gone. If he marries you, he will have to break off the engagement with Ding Yao. Ding Yao has no place to stay, so she has to go back to her father’s house. She has the valuable Snake Swallow Stone and the sugar pills that can cure roundworm disease. I heard that Steward Xu from a big pharmacy went to Song Xiuyan’s house and offered a sky-high price for the prescription in Ding Yao’s hands. Therefore, Wang Hongxia can’t wait for Ding Yao to come back.”

Zhao Caiyun asked the woman, “Who are you to Ding Yao?”

The strange woman replied, “I’m a relative.” After saying that, she gave Zhao Caiyun a bag of medicine and a thousand yuan. She also promised to give her a sum of money after the deed was done.

After saying that, Zhao Caiyun cried and complained, “I was really possessed and agreed to that woman.” She knelt down in front of Ding Yao and Song Xiuyan, she cried out loudly, “Please don’t call the police. I… I can give you the thousand yuan…”

The villagers all looked at Song Xiuyan and Ding Yao. If they called the police, the government would definitely accept the case on account of General Long Zhanyuan. They would also severely punish Zhao Caiyun. Zhao Caiyun’s life was almost over, and she still had to take care of her mother. However, they had brought this upon themselves and weren’t worthy of sympathy.

Zhao Caiyun’s mother was also frightened. She knelt down with Zhao Caiyun and begged for mercy. Zhao Caiyun’s father and brother, Zhao Dashan, were both angry and sad. If something happened to the two women in the family, the family wouldn’t be like home anymore.
