“Speak.” Ding Yao’s attitude was cold.

Wang Hongxia hesitated for a moment. She wanted to ask for money and exchange it for a secret. However, before she could say anything, Ding Yao looked like she wanted her to leave as soon as possible. Wang Hongxia instantly dismissed the idea of asking for money. Forget it, she had to establish a good relationship with Ding Yao first. She would think of a way to get the money later. Thinking of this, she said in a low and mysterious voice, “It’s best not to let too many people know about this.”

Ding Yao brought Wang Hongxia to a corner. Wang Hongxia said in a low voice, “Ding Yao, I think there’s something wrong with your uncle.”

Ding Yao looked at Wang Hongxia and guessed what she was going to say. Wang Hongxia continued, “Didn’t your uncle Lin Hu say that he was going to return to the capital that day? In the end, he didn’t return. Just a day before Zhao Caiyun did those despicable things, someone in our village had seen him in town. Just yesterday, my brothers from my family had also seen him in town. It wasn’t a hallucination, but it really was him. On the day he came to my house to look for me, my brothers from my family happened to be there as well, so they couldn’t have mistaken him for someone else. Moreover, Lin Hu wasn’t alone. There was also an expressionless man by his side. My brothers from my family said that that man was intimidating. It was very likely that he knew martial arts, so he should be a bodyguard.”

When Ding Yao heard this, she furrowed her brows. There was indeed a problem with Lin Hu. Wang Hongxia continued, “When your second uncle and I wanted to bring you home and ask Song Xiuyan for the betrothal gift, Lin Hu asked me to do it. He said that he would give me 5,000 yuan after it was done. Previously, Lin Hu didn’t care about you. Now, he’s thinking of ways to bring you to the capital. He was willing to spend a lot of money to bring you there. It’s very likely that he doesn’t have good intentions and might sell you to a bad place. After all, you’re so beautiful… I wonder if Lin Hu was the one who ordered Zhao Caiyun to do this.”

Ding Yao was a little surprised by Wang Hongxia’s guess. She didn’t expect this woman to be so smart. Of course, she also understood why Wang Hongxia told her all this. It was because she knew that she could earn a lot of money and wanted to please her. She wanted to get money from her? The host might have been poisoned mute by Wang Hongxia. She hadn’t settled the score with her yet! She was also cheating on the host’s father! No matter what Wang Hongxia did, she didn’t want to let her have her way.

Ding Yao said coldly, “I already knew… long ago.”

Wang Hongxia was stunned for a moment, but soon, she wiped her tears and said, “Ding Yao, in the past, I did a lot of things wrong, but it was all because my family was poor. I had no choice. I was also very helpless. Now that you’re lucky, your life is getting better and better. I hope that you don’t forget your father because your grandfather taught you how to make money. Your father is your grandfather’s son. Your late grandfather definitely doesn’t want to see your father be sick and have no money to hire a doctor. I forced him to speak about the Snake Swallow Stone last time. If you hate me, then hate me alone. Don’t blame your father…”

Ding Yao couldn’t take it anymore. “Enough!”

Only then did Wang Hongxia leave in embarrassment.

That night, Zhao Caiyun’s mother came to look for Ding Yao with red eyes. “Ding Yao, Caiyun said that she wants to talk to you for a few minutes.”

Ding Yao refused immediately. “I’m not interested.”

Zhao Caiyun’s mother sniffed sadly. “Caiyun… might not be able to make it through tonight.”

No way. Ding Yao frowned.

Zhao Caiyun’s mother explained, “It’s true. Caiyun said that she was drugged.” Ding Yao immediately changed her mind when she heard this. “Alright, bring me there.”

Song Xiuyan was worried and wanted to go with her. When they arrived at Zhao Caiyun’s house, they saw Zhao Caiyun’s father and her brother, Zhao Dashan, guarding the door. Their eyes were red and it was obvious that they had cried. When they saw Song Xiuyan and Ding Yao coming over, one of them looked away while the other lowered his head. If it weren’t for Ding Yao, Zhao Caiyun wouldn’t have done such a crazy thing. They couldn’t scold Ding Yao, and they didn’t have the nerve to scold Ding Yao. However, they didn’t want to talk to Ding Yao at the moment. After all, Zhao Caiyun was about to die. Why would she want to see Ding Yao before she died? They didn’t know what she was thinking.

It wasn’t convenient for Song Xiuyan to enter the girl’s room, so he could only stay outside. Ding Yao used her eyes to tell Song Xiuyan, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Upon entering the room and seeing Zhao Caiyun, Ding Yao was shocked. It had only been a few days, but Zhao Caiyun was already in a terrible state and on the verge of death.

Zhao Caiyun’s mother wiped away her tears. “Caiyun, I’ve already brought Ding Yao over. You can tell her whatever you want to say.”
