The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

When Mrs. Xie saw the silver, a greedy smile immediately appeared on her face. She quickly took the silver from Liu Yijian and said, "About four months ago, an eleven-year-old boy came to the village. I heard he was Wang Xinyao's younger brother."

Wang Xinyao? Could it be the woman driving the carriage I'd seen before? However, she was only eleven years old, so it couldn't be him. A hint of disappointment flashed in Liu Yijian's eyes.

Mrs. Xie continued, "Not long after, that lowly Wang Xinyao shamelessly brought back a man about 30 years old, saying that he was a martial artist for her child, but in fact he was a wild man she found. Later, that wild man became her husband!" When Mrs. Xie said this, her face was full of anger, and she seemed very dissatisfied with Wang Xinyao.

Liu Yijian's disappointment deepened, and the other men in black also began to talk.

"Boss, the age is wrong!"

"Boss, he is of such noble status that he would never marry into the wife's family. It can't be him!"

The man in black, Liu Yijian, nodded, agreeing with everyone's opinion. He knew that the person he was looking for would never have such an identity or behavior.

Just as he was about to leave with his men, he suddenly heard Mrs. Xie say something that made them all stop in their tracks: "The day before yesterday, their family received an imperial edict!"

"Imperial edict?" The men in black exchanged glances, stunned, as if struck by lightning. A character's appearance could be altered in some ways, and perhaps he'd even marry into the family in order to survive.

Thinking of this, Liu Yijian immediately said in a deep voice: "Tell me about their family's recent situation!"

"This?" Mrs. Xie was a little hesitant.

The other men in black shouted fiercely, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Mrs. Xie was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground again like mud.

Liu Yijian didn't want to waste time on her, so he handed another ten taels of silver to Mrs. Xie and said, "Hurry up and tell me!"

After taking the silver, Mrs. Xie felt secretly delighted. This money was so easy to earn, so she told Wang Xinyao in detail all the changes in the family over the past four months.

The more Liu Yijian listened, the more doubts he harbored. By the time he finished, he was certain the martial artist was the one he'd been searching for. He judged that a mere village woman, no matter how exceptional her abilities, couldn't possibly have brought about such a dramatic transformation in her family in just four months.

As the night deepened quietly, Liu Yijian finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Take us to her house!"

However, Mrs. Xie looked embarrassed and reluctant. After all, it was already late at night. If she didn't go home quickly, she was worried that Xie Bohong would really divorce her!

The family situation was different now. Xie Bohong and his daughter, Xie Shiya, were the ones who earned the money. She was also well aware that her daughter held a grudge against her, and that getting money from her was practically a pipe dream. Therefore, the family's expenses now depended solely on Xie Bohong.

Seeing that Mrs. Xie dared to refuse to lead the way, the men in black were furious and shouted in unison, "What are you still dawdling about? Lead the way!"

This time, no matter how those people threatened her, Mrs. Xie was determined not to agree. After all, after experiencing the terrifying threats she had received several times before, she was already confident that these people would not actually kill her. Compared to being kicked out of the house with a divorce letter, even a beating was nothing.

Liu Yijian was so anxious that he had no time to waste on arguing with Mrs. Xie. He knew that every minute of delay would mean missing the best opportunity and allowing the other party to escape again.

Without further ado, he quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out fifty taels of silver. He said in a low voice, "Old woman, I'll pay you a fifty-tael deposit first. If you can honestly take us to our destination, I'll pay you another fifty taels of silver after the job is done. Are you willing to lead the way now?"

Hearing this, the eyes of Mrs. Xie, who had originally had a stubborn look on her face, instantly lit up. The greed on her old face, which was staring at the silver, became increasingly ugly.

She secretly calculated the pros and cons: it wouldn't take much time to go to Wang Xinyao's house, and she was already late today. Even if she was divorced later, the worst that could happen was that she would just keep her mouth shut and stay home for dear life.

Having made up her mind, Mrs. Xie almost couldn't wait to reach out and grab the bag of silver.

Seeing Mrs. Xie nod in agreement, Liu Yijian quickly began to arrange the follow-up matters. He methodically explained the various tasks and details to everyone, ensuring that nothing went wrong.

After everything was arranged, he turned his gaze to the slightly shorter man in black standing beside him and ordered, "Zhu Si, to prevent any accidents, you must stay here for the time being. If anything unexpected happens, send a pigeon back to the capital immediately. You will lie low and wait for instructions from above!"

Afterwards, Liu Yijian waved his hand, picked up Mrs. Xie with one hand, and led the rest of the people, like ghosts, quietly and silently blending into the deep night.

Before long, they could see Wang Xinyao's yard from afar. It was completely silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xie hurried to Liu Yijian's side and said in a low voice, "Sir, look, it's right there. Please give me the remaining fifty taels of silver!"

Hearing this, Liu Yijian couldn't help but feel disgusted. Humph, this greedy old woman, did she really think his money was so easy to come by? Furthermore, would they leave any evidence?

After thinking about it, he glanced coldly at Mrs. Xie, then lowered his voice to a very low level and turned to give an order to another man in black next to him: "Go, pull out her tongue and break one of her legs! Don't take her life, otherwise the body will be difficult to deal with! Also, take all the silver you just gave her!"

After receiving the order, the man in black attacked without hesitation. Before Mrs. Xie could even let out a scream, she spit out blood and fell limply to the ground. In the darkness, Mrs. Xie couldn't even utter a groan in pain.

Liu Yijian didn't even look at Mrs. Xie lying on the ground, and flew into Wang Xinyao's yard with everyone.

At this time, Zhao Haoxuan, Wang Xinyao and Chen Jingyuan were all awakened by the subtle sound. Moreover, the night was like day to the three of them!

The three of them exchanged glances, their eyes conveying a silent understanding and worry. After all, they knew they couldn't let the other innocent people in the house be implicated and endangered. So, without the slightest hesitation, they sped towards the deserted area.

"Oh no, they are trying to escape!" Almost at the same time, Liu Yijian, who had been secretly observing the situation, also keenly noticed their movements. His face suddenly changed, and after exclaiming in surprise, he ran after them at lightning speed.

Wang Xinyao's reaction was also extremely quick. She fixed the mobile phone in her hand tightly on her clothes without hesitation and skillfully turned on the recording function.

"Hahaha, I finally found you!" Liu Yijian seemed extremely excited at this moment. A smug smile appeared on his originally cold and ruthless face. "I can't believe it. A prince of a country, usually so majestic and arrogant, is now willing to marry into a widow's family just to survive. This is really a disgrace to your royal family!"

Hearing these humiliating words, he suppressed his anger and shouted, "Liu Yijian, who ordered you to assassinate this prince? Was it my uncle?"

Facing Zhao Haoxuan's questioning, Liu Yijian snorted coldly and replied with disdain, "Humph, so what? You can only blame yourself for being blind and trusting others. But even if you knew the truth today, it would be useless, because you will definitely die today!"

After saying that, he waved his hand suddenly, and the many men behind him instantly surrounded Zhao Haoxuan and others.

This group of people completely disregarded Wang Xinyao and Chen Jinghao, and this was indeed the case. Even though the two had made rapid progress during this period, Chen Jingyuan was only at the peak of the martial arts master level, and Wang Xinyao was only a second-grade grandmaster.

Among this group of men in black, the weakest one has the cultivation level of a sixth-grade Grandmaster. As for Liu Yijian, it seems that his cultivation level has improved compared to the last time Wang Xinyao saw him. He has actually reached the peak of Grandmaster and may break through to the Grandmaster level at any time.

No wonder he was so arrogant just now, and even didn't hide who sent him. Maybe in his mind, taking the prince's life is as easy as taking something out of a bag. Even if he fails, the prince has no evidence. And who is the prince? How can he be brought down without evidence?

The fight was still going on. A man in black attacked Wang Xinyao and Chen Jingyuan at the same time. The two felt the pressure doubled. It seemed that the difference in realm suppressed them firmly. Soon, Chen Jingyuan was defeated. With one palm, he was knocked two meters away by the man in black. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the ground!

Without Chen Jingyuan's assistance, Wang Xinyao's situation became increasingly difficult. Thinking of Zhao Haoxuan alone against ten men, and Chen Jingyuan in a coma, she became even more anxious. A moment later, she was struck by a palm from the man in black, and she was thrown back several steps, blood gushing from her mouth...
