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

The stall owner smiled and said, "I never cheat my customers in business. This is a package deal, otherwise it wouldn't be so cheap. I always ask for fair prices."

"Could you lower the price a bit? I really want to buy it."

"480 coins, that's the lowest I can offer."

"If you want to sell jewelry, go to a jewelry store. It's not worth it. In just a few days, your 400 coins will be gone," Doctor Yao warned.

He Qinglian still wanted to buy it. This hairpin was heavy and had a pointed tip, so it could be used for self-defense in a critical situation. "Dr. Yang, I like this style, so I'll buy this one."

"what ever."

He Qinglian put the hairpin in her hair. "Dr. Yang, I don't want to shop anymore. Let's go back."

"Okay, let's go back then."

Inside the inn, Lu Yunzhou and Lu Yunping were discussing He Qinglian and Liu Siyue. "Brother, I plan to sell He Shi and get some money. If I want to marry Liu Shi, He Shi must not be allowed to stay."

"Sold! Sold to where?"

"There are several brothels in the prefectural city. With He's looks, she'll definitely fetch a good price."

"With such a beautiful appearance, wouldn't you feel bad selling her?"

Nothing is more important than life.

Lu Yunping stroked his chin, looked at Lu Yunzhou, and asked, "Little brother, are you really determined to sell?"

"It's true, absolutely true."

"good.

I feel it's a terrible deal to sell it like this.

"What ideas do you have, brother?"

"Since you don't want it anymore, why not let the older brother have it? I want to sleep with him tonight. It's such a waste to give such a good appearance to an outsider."

"No way." Lu Yunzhou felt uncomfortable at the thought of his wife and older brother sleeping in the same bed.

"Little brother, stop acting. Don't think I don't know you're hanging out with the Zhou family."

"Brother, what are you saying? My sister-in-law and I didn't do anything."

"They didn't do anything, they were just hugging each other, and that's what you call not doing anything?"

"That was my brother's fault first. My sister-in-law is such a good person, why did he treat her like that? I just wanted to comfort her and tell her not to be sad or do anything rash. After all, you still have two children. I'm just looking after the house for my brother."

To my surprise, my elder brother would rather marry a widow than his sister-in-law. What's wrong with her? What has she done to wrong you?

She bore your children, managed the household, was dutiful to your parents, and earned money to support the family. What more could you ask for?

"Don't try to lecture me with that. I know I can't argue with you. No matter what, you and Zhou are committing incest. If you can comfort someone and get them into bed, then even if they need comforting, it should be me who comforts them, not you."

Those two children, you care about them even more than I do, aren't they yours?

"Big brother, how could you slander me like this? Wenxuan and Xinning are 8 and 6 years old respectively. I am only 17 years old this year. Could I have had a child 8 years ago?"

You were clearly in the wrong first, yet you're blaming me.

"No matter what, you were the one who laid a hand on my wife first."

Lu Yunzhou's chest heaved violently with anger. He suppressed his rage, knowing he couldn't afford to turn against Lu Yunping yet. He still needed Lu Yunping's care. "Lu Yunping, you just wait and see."

"Since you want the He family so much, then so be it. But be careful not to hurt anyone, or you won't get a good price."

"Okay, I'll get another room. You and Dr. Yang can share a room tonight."

"You should book two rooms and let Dr. Yang stay by himself, so he doesn't find out anything."

"Okay, then let's open two rooms."

He Qinglian and Doctor Yang returned to the inn. Lu Yunping said with a smile, "Doctor Yang, I've booked a room for each of us. We didn't sleep well last night, so we need to catch up on our sleep tonight."

"There's no need to open two rooms, it's a waste of money. The two of us can just squeeze in."

"Since it's already open, you can just stay here without worry."

Lu Yunping glanced at He Qinglian, then quickly looked away. During dinner, Lu Yunping stared at He Qinglian again. His gaze was so intense that she quickly finished her meal and left, a bad feeling welling up inside her.

Thinking back to the two rooms, it felt very strange. They were already empty, so why did they need to open another room?

Everyone in the inn was asleep, and the night had quieted down. Lu Yunzhou quietly got up, opened the door, and went out. Then a figure walked in. He Qinglian could see clearly that it wasn't Lu Yunzhou who came in, but rather Lu Yunping. What did they seem to be doing?

He Qinglian dared not speak, clutching the hairpin tightly in her hand. Lu Yunping walked to the bedside and lay down. He Qinglian was so frightened that she dared not breathe, but her heart was pounding like a drum.

Lu Yun lay down for a while, and feeling that the person next to him had fallen asleep, he quickly took off his clothes, pressed himself against He Qinglian, and kissed her.

He Qinglian took the hairpin and stabbed it hard into Lu Yunping's neck. A scream was heard. He Qinglian pushed hard, and Lu Yunping fell to the side. She quickly got off the bed. Lu Yunping grabbed her with one hand and covered his neck with the other. He Qinglian couldn't break free, so she bit Lu Yunping's arm hard.

Lu Yunping cried out in pain and let go. He Qinglian opened the door and ran out, shouting, "Help! A lecherous thief has broken into the room! Help!"

Immediately, someone came out to investigate, asking, "Where is the lecher?"

"Right in bed."

Before long, the lights in all the rooms of the inn came on, and the innkeeper came upstairs. He saw a person lying on the bed, covering his neck with his hand. Weren't they in cahoots?

Doctor Yang and Lu Yunzhou also arrived. "Qinglian, are you alright?"

"Husband, where have you been? A thief broke into the room, waaaaah..."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

The innkeeper came out and said, "That person came with you. He has a neck injury and is bleeding a lot. Take him to see a doctor quickly, or he will die in the inn."

Upon hearing that Lu Yunping was injured, Lu Yunzhou quickly said, "Doctor Yang, please go in and take a look."

Doctor Yang looked at Lu Yunzhou, then at Lu Yunping lying on the bed. "How come he's in your room? Where did you go?"

"Dr. Yang, this is not the time to talk about this. We need to save the person first."

The innkeeper looked at He Qinglian and asked, "You don't recognize the person in bed?"

"I don't know, I didn't see clearly, but it's definitely not my husband."

How do you know he's not your husband?

"My husband is seriously ill and gets breathless after just one step. How could he possibly have the strength to do these things?"

"But I think that person came with you."

"I don't know what happened, I don't know, sob sob sob..." He Qinglian covered her face.

"Young lady, don't cry. Who's inside?"

"It should be my husband's older brother."

"What?! The eldest brother actually laid a hand on his sister-in-law? He's worse than an animal! Why save him? He might as well just die."

"That's right, people like that are disgusting to look at, kick him out."

"Everyone, everyone, it's too late now. Let them stay here for now, and let them leave as soon as it's light. Everyone, go home and get some sleep."

Doctor Yang stopped Lu Yunping's bleeding and bandaged the wound. Lu Yunping looked at He Qinglian and asked, "He Qinglian, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to kill someone?"

Doctor Yang glanced at the two brothers. "Tell me, what exactly happened? What were you doing in He's room? Lu Tongsheng, where have you been?"

"Dr. Yang, I was feeling restless and couldn't sleep, so I came out for some fresh air. My brother probably went into the wrong room. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Luckily, nothing serious happened."

"This is ridiculous and shameful. I'm going back tomorrow, so do whatever you want with me."

Doctor Yang was furious. Anyone with eyes could see through the tricks of the Lu brothers, yet they still blatantly lied. They had wasted their education. If such people became officials, who knows what kind of harm they would do to the people.

He was somewhat pleased that Liu had left the Lu family, preventing that beast from advancing any further.
