Zhang Xiaobao stopped and looked at him expressionlessly: "Go ahead."

The assassin swallowed and confessed everything: "The old lady didn't want the young master to know that the young lady was still alive, so she sent us to kill her.

The old lady wanted to take the young master away because after the cousin married the young master, she didn't give him any children. The old lady wanted a grandson, so she wanted to take the young master away.

After hearing this, Yun Qingqing immediately grasped the key point and asked him, "Why doesn't your old lady want your young master to know that your young lady is still alive?"

The assassin answered honestly, "The young master loves the young lady very much, but the old lady doesn't like her and doesn't want the young master and the young lady to be together. The old lady is afraid that the young master will find out that the young lady is still alive and come looking for her."

After listening to this, Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and instantly imagined a scene in her mind: a strong mother, a mama's boy husband, a weak and bullied wife, and the wife who couldn't bear it anymore and ran away with the baby.

Shaking his head and stopping his imagination, Yun Qingqing then asked him, "What is the identity of that old woman?"

That black-hearted old woman always used her status to pressure her. She was really curious about where this old woman came from that made her act so arrogant.

The assassin replied, "Our old lady is the wife of Mr. Gao, the richest businessman in Jiangzhou."

Yun Qingqing nodded and said, "It sounds like he's very rich."

When the assassin heard this, he immediately felt that the girl before him was truly worldly-wise. He shouted at the top of his voice, "Girl, you don't just act rich, the Gao family is truly wealthy! The Gao family's restaurants are spread all over the Great Zhou Kingdom."

"Oh, I see." Yun Qingqing replied calmly, then said to him, "Go back and tell your old lady that if you do too many bad things, you will be punished. Don't send anyone to kill Song Jinyue anymore, and don't target Ping An, otherwise her comfortable days will be over."

This girl is young, but she speaks so arrogantly. She even says that the old lady's good days will be over. This little girl is too ignorant.

The assassin muttered secretly in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud. He didn't want to be beaten by this vicious little girl and the scarred man, so he nodded obediently and ran away in shame.

"Are we just going to let them go so easily?" Zhang Xiaobao frowned and looked at Yun Qingqing.

Yun Qingqing watched them walk away and said, "Someone will kill them for us."

Judging from the temper of that black-hearted old woman, these four people failed to assassinate Song Jinyue and would most likely be killed when they returned.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't say much after hearing this.

Yun Qingqing then told him, "Your sister-in-law is so beautiful, and she's a weak woman. I'm afraid she won't be able to live a stable life with Ping An alone."

Zhang Xiaobao said, "I will take care of them."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingqing smiled and praised, "You are a really good brother."

As she spoke, she yawned and waved at Zhang Xiaobao, "It's getting late. I'm going back to rest. You can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Yun Qingqing turned and left without waiting for his reaction.

Zhang Xiaobao is a reliable person. If he can settle the mother and son, they should be able to live a stable life.

After Yun Qingqing left, Zhang Xiaobao stood there, frowning and thinking about how to settle Song Jinyue and her son.

After Yun Qingqing came out of Zhang Dalang's house, she returned to the inn to rest. After a tiring day, Yun Qingqing lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

While Yun Qingqing was sleeping soundly, Hu and Hu Xinrou were so righteous that they didn't feel sleepy at all.

"This damn girl is too much. She actually dared to hit my face like this. I will never forgive her!" Mrs. Hu looked at her face in the bronze mirror, which was swollen like a pig's head, and her face was distorted with anger.

Hu Xinrou also said angrily: "Aunt, that girl is too arrogant, we must teach her a lesson!"

This was the first time in her life that someone had slapped her face like this, and it was her most precious face. She was determined to make that girl pay for it.

Mrs. Hu snorted coldly, "Hmph, I'm going to teach that ignorant girl a lesson!"

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and frowned, "Why haven't the four guards sent to kill Song Jinyue returned yet?"

Hu Xinrou also frowned: "Aunt, has something gone wrong?"

As he was speaking, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door, followed by the voices of the guards.

Hu and Hu Xinrou's eyes lit up, and Hu hurriedly called four guards in.

As soon as the door opened, four guards walked in with bruised eyes and noses, ragged clothes, and looking very embarrassed.

Hu and Hu Xinrou's faces suddenly darkened.

"What happened?" Hu asked in a deep voice.

A guard said with a bitter face, "Madam, Song Jinyue was protected by men, so we were unable to kill her."

Mrs. Hu's eyes widened with rage as she roared, "What a bunch of losers! You can't even kill a weak woman. What's the point of keeping a bunch of losers like you?"

The guards were trembling with fear, and one of them quickly said, "Madam, please calm down. The man protecting Song Jinyue is too powerful. We are inferior to him in martial arts and cannot defeat him."

When Mrs. Hu heard this, she became even angrier. "You are a bunch of losers. You can't be beaten by women, and you can't be beaten by men either. What's the point of raising you? I might as well raise a dog. Dogs only know how to bite."

The guards hung their heads as they were scolded, not daring to utter a single word. One of them said cautiously, "Madam, that vicious girl sent a subordinate to bring you a message."

When Mrs. Hu heard this, her eyes widened with anger: "What did that damn girl say to me?"

The guard said tremblingly, "Madam, that girl said...that if you do too many bad things, you will suffer retribution. Don't send anyone to kill Song Jinyue again, and don't try to kill Ping An, otherwise your comfortable days will be over."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hu was so furious that she nearly exploded. She gritted her teeth and said, "How dare this ignorant little girl threaten me!"

Hu Xinrou fanned the flames, saying, "Aunt, that little bitch doesn't take you seriously. You must have someone teach her a lesson."

Mrs. Hu had a gloomy face and gritted her teeth as she said, "I'll make that damn girl's life worse than death!"

As she spoke, she looked at the four guards kneeling in front of her and said, "Come here, take these four losers away and kill them."

Four people couldn't even kill Song Jinyue, and they even got her to confess. Such trash can't be kept.

When the four guards heard this, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Madam, please spare us! Madam, please spare us!"

"Spare my lives? You useless guys can't even handle such a small matter, and you even confessed me. You still want to expect me to spare your lives? Dream on." Hu said angrily, waving her hand to signal the guards who came in to drag them away.

After they were dragged away, Hu Xinrou asked Hu, "Aunt, what should we do now?"

Mrs. Hu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back first. We can hire some martial arts masters to deal with that stinky girl later."

Hu Xinrou didn't say much after hearing this. This was all she could do now. Suddenly, she thought of something and said to her, "Aunt, you can't let cousin know about Ping An and Song Jinyue's existence now. Otherwise, when cousin knows the truth of the past, he will definitely hate you."

Mrs. Hu frowned, nodded and said, "You are right, Xuan'er must not be allowed to know about the existence of Ping An and Song Jinyue.

Xuan'er has been bewitched by that vixen Song Jinyue to the point that he almost doesn't recognize me as his mother. If he knew the truth of that year, I don't know how he would make trouble with me.

Humph, this Song Jinyue is a disaster, making Xuan'er so disobedient."

Even if I tell Xuan'er that Song Jinyue is dead, he has been thinking about her all these years. I absolutely cannot let him know that Song Jinyue is still alive, otherwise he will take that vixen Song Jinyue home again.

Hu Xinrou continued, "Aunt, even if you bring Ping An home in the future, you can't let my cousin know that Ping An is Song Jinyue's child. I'm afraid Ping An will spread rumors."
