Tears of blood flowed from Huangfu Liu's eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead almost popped out.

He regretted very much at this moment, wondering why he had not sent Huangfu An away earlier. Otherwise, he would not have suffered Huangfu Yan's brutal revenge.

He said in a trembling voice: "Huangfu Yan, I was wrong. Can't I admit my mistake to you? Let An'er go. You are his uncle!"

Huangfu An probably also realized that death was approaching. He couldn't help but shout, "Uncle, are you really so cruel as to kill An'er? As long as you keep An'er alive, An'er will be good and obedient!"

His voice was weak and frightened, trying to arouse everyone's sympathy.

But only Huangfu Yan, who was closest to him, could see the strong hatred hidden in his eyes.

He had already been taught badly by Huangfu Liu, and his current appearance was just a pretense.

To verify his guess, he walked up to Huangfu An and said, "Okay, as long as you can use this dagger to break the noose, I will let you go!"

Almost the moment he took the dagger, he stabbed Huangfu Yan in the heart without hesitation, shouting: "Go to hell, my father should be the head of the family!"

Huangfu Yan, who had been prepared, immediately turned his head to avoid it, and immediately tightened the rope. He said coldly: "Huangfu An, I gave you a chance, but between saving yourself and killing me, you still chose to kill me!"

Perhaps sensing his impending death, Huangfu An screamed, "Help! Huangfu Yan wouldn't even spare a child of a few years old. How can he be the head of the family?"

The woman cried heartbreakingly: "An'er, my An'er!"

In just a moment, Huangfu An died of suffocation.

Lin Yiwan did not think that Huangfu Yan's killing was cruel. After all, this was his way of establishing his authority. Otherwise, the young head of the family would not be able to win the support of the people.

Huangfu Liu was also strangled, and the brothel girl chose to die with him.

After dealing with these matters, Madam Huangfu opened the ancestral hall and allowed Zhan Yan and Huangfu Yan to become sworn brothers with different surnames.

Huangfu Lingyun solemnly apologized to Lin Yiwan: "Sister-in-law, I offended you a lot when I came to Beijing before. Please don't blame me!"

Lin Yiwan reached out and pulled her up: "I don't take these things to heart, but you are now at the age of marriage. Do you have someone you like? Do you want me to make the decision for you?"

Huangfu Lingyun quickly shook her head: "No, I still want to be filial to my grandmother!"

Lin Yiwan could see that she was hiding something, but she didn't point it out.

She said softly, "It's my duty to take care of grandma, but don't let it interfere with your own affairs, or you'll regret it in the future!"

A hint of sadness flashed across Huangfu Lingyun's eyes, and after a moment, she spoke with certainty: "I won't regret it. Since sister-in-law has come to September City, I will take you to see the medicinal fields tomorrow. The scenery is beautiful!"

Just as Lin Yiwan was about to agree, she heard a noisy voice outside: "Let me see the Marquis' wife. My daughter's reputation has been ruined by Marquis Zhan Yi. She can't stay out of this!"

Huangfu Lingyun's expression suddenly changed: "It's the eldest elder's wife!"

Lin Yiwan had already known that Huangfu Qingqing had used her name to seduce Zhan Yan, and she found it absurd and ridiculous.

She narrowed her eyes and spoke, "I originally thought that Huangfu Qingqing's crime was not punishable by death, so I spared her life. But I didn't expect her mother to be so relentless. She's trying to push her into a dead end!"

Huangfu Lingyun said quickly: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I will drive her away right away!"

Lin Yiwan stopped him in a deep voice: "You can't drive her away. I've seen this kind of person many times. She won't stop until she's dead!"

After saying that, she stood up and went to the door.

The eldest elder's wife's eyes lit up when she saw her. "Madam, you have to give my daughter an explanation. Many people have seen her going in and out with Marquis Zhan Yi. How can she marry again?"

Lin Yiwan asked calmly, "So, according to you, how do you want me to make the decision for you?"

The eldest elder's wife spoke eagerly, "Please ask the Marquis's wife to allow my daughter to be the Marquis's concubine. Then we will be satisfied!"

Lin Yiwan said in surprise, "Wouldn't that be unfair to her? She's obviously good-looking, and she's a pampered daughter of your Huangfu family!"

The eldest elder's wife hurriedly shook her head: "Don't be wronged. No matter how outstanding she is, she can't surpass you. Don't worry, Madam Hou, she will be well-behaved and obedient, and will never cause you any trouble!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and looked at the woman in front of her, thinking that her flattering face was extremely hateful.

She clearly knew that her daughter was disliked by Zhan Yan, but she still wanted to send her to him. She was so shameless.

After a moment's silence, she slowly spoke, "Okay, send your daughter to me. As the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, I have some rules to explain to her!"

"Yes, I'll go call her right away!" After saying that, the eldest elder's wife turned around and left happily.

Huangfu Lingyun asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, do you really want Huangfu Qingqing to be the Marquis's concubine? She, how can she be worthy?"

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, "Of course I know she's not worthy, but that Madam Elder is no pushover either. If I don't agree, she'll make a scene, and that'll put your grandmother and your brother in a very difficult position!"

Huangfu Lingyun asked suspiciously, "Then why don't you ask Huangfu Qingqing to come over?"

Lin Yiwan smiled slyly: "Of course I have to make her give up!"

Huangfu Lingyun couldn't figure out why he retreated in the face of difficulties, and she didn't dare to ask more questions.

Soon, the carefully dressed Huangfu Qingqing was brought over. When she saw Huangfu Lingyun, her face was full of arrogance.

She said in a cold voice: "From now on, I will become the woman of Marquis Zhan Yi. You must be more respectful to me in the future!"

Huangfu Lingyun glared at her unhappily and said, "Wait until you become successful, then we'll talk. Don't show off in front of me. As long as you haven't entered the Zhan family, you have to call me Miss!"

"You!" Huangfu Qingqing's face suddenly turned ashen and ugly due to anger.

But she quickly calmed herself down and said sarcastically, "I know you're just sour grapes. You went to the capital to seduce Marquis Zhan Yi before but failed, and now you're so jealous that I'm going to be his woman!"

Huangfu Ling's face was full of disdain and contempt: "You really know how to flatter yourself. If I were you, I would immediately grab a mirror and look at myself!"

After saying that, she left.

Huangfu Qingqing sneered, "Pah, I'm still prettier than you in the photo, otherwise why would Marquis Zhan Yi choose me to be his concubine?"

Without further hesitation, she twisted her waist and walked quickly towards Lin Yiwan's yard.

Zhan Yanzheng, with a grim expression on his face, was holding a rattan whip in his hand. He frowned and looked at Lin Yiwan: "What tricks are you going to play now?"

She blinked her eyes and said, "Just scare her and make her give up!"
