Before she snapped out of her trance, she saw a broom swinging her way. She subconsciously grabbed the broom and then pulled it back firmly.

The woman stumbled and moved back a few steps, then fell on the ground while groaning in pain.

The woman didn’t expect her to dare to retaliate at all. She widened her eyes and exclaimed, “You wretched girl. You dare to retaliate!”

So what if she did? Qin Gui leaped up from the ground and grabbed the broom in her hand, then whacked it at the woman.

It was a painful blow!

The woman let out an ear-piercing shriek, “Ah! Wretched girl, do you want to die?!”

Not wanting to stay any longer, Qin Gui ran out of the woodshed decisively. Then, she closed the door and used the broom to stop the woman from twisting the knob.

Qin Gui rubbed her swollen forehead. The moment she moved her arms, she felt an intense pain spreading throughout her body.

Hiss—

She sucked in a cold breath. Then, she was stunned after she pulled up her sleeves.

This body’s arms were skinny and full of new and old scars as well as bruises. No wonder it hurt everywhere. Scars probably covered her body as well.

The original body was probably beaten every day.

Just how much enmity and hatred must that woman harbor for her to beat her that hard?!

The novel didn’t mention much about the original body’s past. It wasn’t until later in the story that an admirer of the heroine exposed the fact that Qin Gui had married a fool in the past and that she didn’t behave as a proper woman should. There were other rumors such as her having affection for her husband’s father. Later on, Qin Gui had tossed aside her fool of a husband in order to pursue the marquis residence’s riches and honors. She even undid her hairstyle as a married woman and returned to the capital as a young unmarried woman.

The present Qin Gui vaguely recalled how the woman she recently met had wanted her to marry a fool. It appears that they’ll be coming here tomorrow to receive her?!

Qin Gui shivered.

According to the novel, she most likely had to stay married the fool up until she was brought back into her family. Then, she died with an arrow to her heart after she assisted the heroine’s gentle and generous image.

Slam, slam, slam.

At this time, the woman slammed against the woodshed’s door rapidly and firmly, coupled with her sharp voice, “Wretched girl, let me out!”

“When I get out, I’ll beat you to death for sure!”

The woman’s voice was raised higher and higher.

Qin Gui narrowed her eyes and shouted, “Zhao Aman, I know everything! You betrayed your master, and exchanged the children! I’m going to report you to the government office!” Then, Qin Gui ran away without hesitation.

Zhao Aman in the woodshed was flabbergasted, an idea floating in her mind.

There’s no way this wretched girl knew everything, right?

At this moment, besides anger, she was more scared.

Zhao Aman was anxious and started slapping the door even harder. “Girl! Come back!”

“Girl! Girl…”

Zhao Aman called time after time, but only silence answered her. About half a teacup’s worth of time, her man, Li Jinzhu, returned.

Lin Jinzhu took out the broom over the handle of the doors and opened the woodshed. “What happened?”

Zhao Aman’s face paled, and she grabbed onto Li Jinzhu’s sleeves. “Bao, Bao’er’s father, that girl said that she knows everything and she is going to the government office to report us.”

“Could she have found out about her identity?”

Zhao Aman’s voice trembled and she shook uncontrollably.

Li Jinzhu was also frightened badly.

Don’t mention a common person opposing an official, but this was the grand Qin Family they’re talking about!

If Qin Family found out that they had been raising their daughter for all these years, they’d definitely send them to jail. Their family would be doomed by then!

Lin Jinzhu was annoyed and nervous. He impatiently shifted the blame and roared, “You have the face to talk?!”

“If you were much nicer to the girl, she wouldn’t doubt her identity. If it weren’t for you forcing her to marry that fool, she wouldn’t have gone to report to the government office.”

“Who here doesn’t know that Fool Xu is almost twenty, but still doesn’t know how to use the bathroom? He even needs people to feed him. The Little girl is only fourteen…”

“You’re blaming me? Fool Xu… what’s wrong with young master Xu? He’s the nephew of the county magistrate! I got her such a good husband. People aren’t even this lucky!” Zhao Aman was furious and raised her voice, “She’s just a wretched and ungrateful girl! If it weren’t for me, she would’ve been exiled with Qin Family, and probably died by now. I saved her!”

“So what if Qin Family had given us two thousand silver taels? We had raised her for all these years. Are we going to have to raise her to old age? Instead of marrying her off?”

“Plus, who am I doing this for? I’m doing this for the family. Don’t forget how our Bao’er entered the county to learn! And our eldest child said…”

Zhao Aman couldn’t stop talking, and Li Jinzhu’s head hurt from her chattering. He interrupted her and said, “Keep on talking, keep on talking as the girl is about to go to the government office already!”

“Right! We have to stop her.” Zhao Aman answered nervously and dashed out the door.

Li Jinzhu hurried along too.

Qin Gui came out of the woodshed after hearing no noises, glancing in the direction the couple left at.

Under the ray of sunshine, her pair of almond eyes on her small face was shockingly bright.
