The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Han Cuiyin stared thoughtfully at Yan Zhicheng's retreating figure.

"Uncle, since the direct descendants are not allowed to learn the Yan family's martial arts, where did my eldest cousin learn them from?"

The ancestors of Yan Qingping's branch used some unknown means to suppress the direct line for a century.

The offspring of the collateral branches were all strong and healthy, and had outstanding martial arts skills.

Even if they cannot leave Yanjia Village, they all live long and healthy lives.

On the contrary, the direct line of the family had few offspring and died young.

Things changed when Yan Dali's father had four children: three sons and one daughter.

Yan Dali's generation also had three sons and one daughter, thus breaking the curse of a single heir in the main branch. Yan Erwen had two sons, and Yan Xiao was not yet married, but he was quite nice to Gao Mama's children. He thought he was hiding his feelings well, but everyone in the family knew about them.

"Uncle, did my third uncle become like that because of my mother?"

When Han Cuiyin mentioned Yan Xiao, she called him "uncle" in a calm tone.

In her previous life, Yan Xiao was just as reckless and carefree; he almost sold her off once.

"Since you're his bloodline, you have to atone for his sins. Blame it on having a father like that!"

She was drowsy with her eyes closed. Yan Xiao put her into a sack, and the words she had said suddenly came back to her memory.

"To be precise, the vast majority of the reason is because of Han Zhen; the two were classmates. Your mother was favored by your maternal grandfather from a young age, and when she reached marriageable age, her family naturally wanted to choose her carefully."

"For some reason, your maternal grandfather liked scholars and was particularly fond of them. When choosing a son-in-law, he always looked for scholars from ordinary families, thinking that they would be easier to control."

"Who knew that your third uncle would bring Han Zhen to the mansion several times and catch your maternal grandfather's eye. At that time, he had just won the top spot in the imperial examination, and your maternal grandfather hinted at his interest. His mother then hurriedly went to propose marriage."

"Who knew that Han Zhen was such an ungrateful and heartless wretch, actually abandoning his wife to marry another. With the Yan family's downfall, your third uncle not only blamed himself but also neglected his studies and made no further progress."

"Because you have Han family blood, he takes his anger out on you. You two have suffered all these years."

"Even I was deceived by the clan chief, and listened to his words to torment you, thinking it was for your own good! Sigh~"

Yan Dali sighed, regretting his past actions.

Han Cuiyin sat up, but didn't respond.

"When would be a good time to visit your mother? She's our blood relative, and we all miss her."

When Yan Dali mentioned his younger sister, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Brother, you should come in first! You've had a few drinks, why are you saying all this nonsense? When we see our sister, we should kneel down and beg for forgiveness!"

Yan Erwen came out of the room, his face looking rather unpleasant.

He and his nephew listened to their conversation the whole time.

The uncle and nephew heard every word the two men mentioned; it would be impossible for them not to be moved.

"Cuiyin, if your mother is framed, you must retaliate fiercely. This formation is insidious. I've lived most of my life and have long since seen through life and death. You must be careful not to be harmed by Yan Qingping..."

Yan Dali covered his head, his face showing pain.

Today, the three members of the Yan family felt bitter and lonely, and he drank a little too much.

After the courtyard quieted down, Han Cuiyin gazed at the clear moon in the sky, lost in thought.

Her hand touched the small yellow ball at her waist. "Shall we go and see the Han family in their dreams again tonight?"

The little yellow ball swayed from side to side, its speed increasing until it became just a blur.

"Alright, Mo Changdao is indeed quite capable. Let's go in a couple of days!"

Han Cuiyin fought him in the Han family's dream last night, and was indeed restrained by them, so she has been unable to use the Dream Punishment Realm for the past few days.

Anyway, it's a month-long period. As long as the Han family doesn't discover those small stone beads, these people can't do anything about it.

Mo Changdao managed to restrain her, but at a great cost.

She had no desire to fight to the death with someone while in such a weakened state.

It's not worth it for the Han family!

This time, Xu Tianyun is guarding the Han family's side.

He wouldn't have come if Mo Changdao hadn't begged him.

Last night was so dangerous; he wouldn't risk his life for these ordinary people.

If Mo Changdao hadn't said that the person behind the scenes might be a cultivator, and hadn't captured that person, they might have had a chance to advance further.

If they cannot go any further, they can only stop here. When their lifespan ends, they will disappear from the world like ordinary people.

If it weren't for this one in ten thousand chance, he wouldn't want to come here to do things for Han Zhen.

This person is too good at scheming.

Some of his clansmen even tried to win him over, allowing him to take advantage of the Xu family.

Xu Tianyun stood guard in Madam Han's courtyard, with Han Zhen accompanying him. Da Ni and another maid brought over some tea. "Please have some tea!"

A slightly immature voice interrupted Xu Tianyun's thoughts.

The two had a one-night stand. Da Ni bowed her head and retreated, appearing slightly hurried.

This person is afraid of me!

Xu Tianyun saw it but didn't care.

However, the girl's health was of great benefit to him.

Having not been close to a woman for many years, I found something different in this girl.

Han Zhen observed this, but remained calm as he sipped his tea, concealing the scheming in his eyes.

"Da Ni, bring some more snacks up for Senior Xu."

......

However, the two were disappointed. Han Cuiyin had no intention of teaching the people in the Han family a lesson today. They were just having nightmares, and no lightning struck them.

At Xiajing'ao, around midnight, the scattered lights went out.

Han Cuiyin opened her eyes, waiting for Yan Qingping to extend his claws.

She didn't drastically change Yan Qingping's formation for the time being, but simply prevented him from hearing their conversation.

If this person is cautious, they will definitely come to investigate.

After much persuasion and negotiation, they finally managed to conceal her figure and aura.

Sure enough, a dark figure quietly appeared in the courtyard.

The man inspected each part of the formation with practiced ease.

"There's nothing wrong, so why is there no sound? Could it be that they drank too much and went to bed early?"

Yan Qingping muttered to himself in the darkness.

He moved quickly and was agile.

Just as she was about to go to the Yan family study, Han Cuiyin threw the small yellow ball from her waist and transmitted her voice:

"Scare him a little, lest he still harbors wicked intentions."

A handsome figure appeared beside Yan Qingping, and suddenly the figure enveloped Yan Qingping, emitting a trembling voice:

"You're a descendant of Yan Tuo? Just like him, you're used to using underhanded methods! Yan Tuo harmed me back then, and his descendants are harming my descendants now. Since you've run into me, you're not leaving!"

Yan Qingping reacted very quickly. He had entered the Innate Realm half a month ago and was also supported by the Yan family. His methods were not bad.

I tried several times to break up the light and shadow.

Later, the commotion became a bit loud, and Yan Qingping, fearing it would attract attention, quickly left the Yan family's courtyard.

After returning home, Yan Qingping vomited blood several times and became extremely pale.

In less than fifteen minutes, his previously black hair gradually turned silver.

"What's going on?" Yan Qingping asked, her face filled with horror.

Han Cuiyin smiled and said, "I have to stand up for my mother. This little bit of backlash is my way of getting back at you."

She put away the tables, chairs, and benches under the grape trellis in the yard and buried a stone bead in the ground.

The array hidden in the Yan family's shadow flashed with light and then fell silent again.

The fortune and lifespan absorbed by the Life Array were then returned to the Yan family.

This kind of formation cannot be formed without the birth dates and times of members of the Yan family.

She then went to the study and stored the direct lineage genealogy in the lotus-shaped space, so that Yan Qingping would have no chance to harm anyone again.

If you make any further moves in this courtyard, the formation will only absorb the negative energy.

The next day.

Han Cuiyin went to the clan chief's courtyard to say goodbye, but she didn't even get to see the clan chief.

"Come back often in the future~" a weak voice came from inside the house, "I've caught a cold, so let's not meet."

Han Cuiyin suppressed a smile, "Cuiyin will come back to visit often in the future! Last night, it seemed that the ancestor of the direct line appeared, and he will protect us. Our branch should come back often in the future."

A violent coughing sound came from inside the room, incessant and persistent.
