Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

The servants who arrived later were so astonished that they couldn't close their mouths. Their master was truly amazing; he had actually managed to bring the sun down from the sky.

"Alright, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."

After dinner, Liu Siyue took Yun Chenxin to the yard to digest. "Chenxin, how have you been feeling living in the county town for the past few months?"

"I feel like I'm finally living like a human being. Before, I was worse off than an animal. I had no dignity, only endless humiliation."

No matter how wronged I was, I could only endure it. Now I can control my own destiny; my joys and sorrows are all self-inflicted.

"Well said! Let's join hands, sisters, to create a better future."

"In April, I made two sets of clothes for you and Yao'er each. Remember to take them with you when you go back. Although Yao'er is not my child, I watched her birth, so she is like my own child."

"Of course I have to accept your kind offer. Yao'er is our child."

I'll be staying in the county town for the next few days, so we can discuss what to do after the New Year.

There's not much to do at home right now, Chenxin, so you should learn more about reading and interpersonal skills from Ningxiang. Try to go out and broaden your horizons when you have time. These are essential for achieving great things and going far.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

I'm slow-witted and have no ideas. I really don't know what to do after the New Year.

"Chenxin, spring will be here after the New Year, and everyone should change into spring clothes. I've been thinking these past few days, let's work out some new spring clothing styles."

If we did it, we would definitely earn more, but we don't have the strength, the connections, or the backing right now. As soon as we show our faces, we'll definitely be targeted by others. We still need to find someone to cooperate with. I think the owner of Zhiyun Cloth Shop is pretty good, and we can continue to cooperate.

What do you think?

"You're right, we're just ordinary people, we can't fight against those rich and powerful people."

The two wandered around until they reached their own courtyard. "Chenxin, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'm going to rest too."

"Qingwu, come with me."

As soon as Liu Siyue returned to her room and closed the door, Qingwu eagerly asked, "Master, shall the three of us go out together tonight?"

"No, it should still be just the two of us. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Qingye shouldn't disturb her."

"Yes, Master."

"Qingwu, those four young masters of Lingshui have definitely done this kind of thing more than once or twice. What do you think we should do this time? Castrate them, or just..." Liu Siyue made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Master, if we only castrate those few men, they will definitely use other methods to humiliate women in the future. It would be better to solve the problem once and for all."

Everyone's been saying there's a mysterious figure in Lingshui County, right? Guo Changfeng and the county magistrate both died the same way, so why don't we do the same and teach those bad guys a lesson?

"Yes, you're right."

"Master, who do you think killed that magistrate? They actually used the same methods I used to kill Guo Changfeng."

"I don't know who killed him, but he must have been a victim of the power struggle within the imperial court."

"Master, what do you intend to do with that county magistrate?"

"Originally, I wanted to get rid of him as well, but then I thought, if we get rid of one, another will come. He's been quite well-behaved these days. No matter what we do next, he'll probably be scared out of his wits."

Let's leave it at that. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, we won't touch him.

"Qingwu, we have a lot of work tonight, so we need to leave early."

The two changed into their night clothes beforehand. Qingwu slept on the couch outside, while Liu Siyue lay on the bed and fell asleep soon after.

At midnight, Qingwu woke Liu Siyue up, "Master, wake up quickly."

"What time is it?"

It's almost midnight.

Liu Siyue stretched, took something from the bed, and stuffed it into Qingwu's hand. "Take this with you."

Qingwu noticed it was a headgear, quite elastic, and when she tried it on, it was quite comfortable.

Liu Siyue also put on the hood. "Let's go."

"Master, those four families are not far from here, and they live very close by, which makes it convenient for us to carry out our mission."

"Okay, you can take me with you."

Qingwu led the way, with Liu Siyue following closely behind. "Master, this is the Wu family."

"Qingwu, after we take care of that young master Wu, take me to their storeroom and study."

"Okay." Qingwu didn't know why her master had this quirk. Whenever she went to someone's house, she would go to their study or storeroom to take a look, and then leave without taking anything. She really couldn't understand it.

The two went around to the back door, and Qingwu grabbed Liu Siyue by the back of her collar. With a light touch of the ground, they climbed onto the wall and gently landed in the courtyard.

The guards at the Wu family's residence were much more lax than those at the Guo Changfeng family's residence. When they arrived at the courtyard where Young Master Wu lived, the light in one of the rooms was still on, and sounds of men and women making love could be heard coming from inside.

The atmosphere inside the room was lively. "Master, please wait for me outside, so as not to offend your eyes."

Qingwu climbed in through the window without anyone noticing. The candles in the room went out immediately, plunging the entire room into darkness.

"Young master, the candles have all burned out. We should rest now. Didn't you say you had important business to attend to tomorrow?"

"What's the rush? Let me pamper you a little longer."

In the darkness, Qingwu walked to the bedside and knocked the two unconscious with two quick blows. He pushed the woman onto the inside of the bed, laid Young Master Wu flat and straightened him, first twisting his neck, then breaking his limbs, and finally covering him with the blanket.

Qingwu climbed out of the window again, closed it, took Liu Siyue's hand, and quickly turned into another courtyard. "Master, this is the courtyard where Master Wu lives. His study is inside."

There were two guards at the entrance of the courtyard, dozing off. Qingwu led her lightly over the courtyard wall and headed straight for the study.

Upon arriving at the study, Liu Siyue took out a flashlight. "Qingwu, quickly search around and see if there's a hidden room here."

We searched for a long time but couldn't find it. "Master, we can't find it."

"That's impossible. Rich people's studies usually have hidden rooms. Let's search again."

They still couldn't find it, so the two had to give up.

There was no secret room in Master Wu's study; his secret room was in his bedroom, right under the bed he slept in.

The two then went to the Wu family's storeroom, which occupied an entire courtyard and contained grain and valuables.

"Qingwu, do you know how to pick locks? Let's go inside and take a look."

Qingwu took out a small object, fiddled with it on the keyhole a couple of times, and the lock opened.

There were quite a few boxes inside, but not much gold or silver; they were mostly cloth, medicinal herbs, porcelain ornaments, and the like.

The two came out of the storeroom, and Qingwu locked the door again. Liu Siyue packed up everything in the storeroom, going from one storeroom to another and taking everything away.

"Master, let's go to the next one."

Qingwu took Liu Siyue to the Li family, the Gu family, and the Zou family, and killed all three young masters. Although Liu Siyue did not find any gold or silver in the Wu family, she made a fortune in these three families.

"Master, it's almost time. Let's head back quickly."

"it is good."

The two returned home, changed their clothes, and went straight to bed to sleep.

Qingwu woke up at Chenshi (7-9 AM), while Liu Siyue slept until Sishi (9-11 AM).

"Master, you're up. Why don't you have some snacks to tide you over? Lunch is coming up soon."

"I'm not hungry, let's have lunch together later."

"Mrs. Xu from next door has come over several times. She said she wants us to inform her that you've woken up."

"Yes, invite her over after lunch."

Qingwu rushed in. "Master, a major incident happened in the county last night. The four young masters of Lingshui were murdered, and all the mansions were robbed."

The city gates are closed, and the authorities are investigating.
