80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

Just when things were at their most critical, Lin Yue entered the mysterious space again.

She already had several experiences and was able to handle it calmly, but she didn't know where she would go or what she would see this time.

The powerful impact forced her to close her eyes. When she opened them again, she was already in the secret room where the Jiang family was looking after the house.

A little girl huddled trembling in a corner, staring in terror toward the entrance.

Soon, the sound of high heels clicking away grew louder, followed by a roar.

"You useless thing, get out here! You can't even do the simplest tasks right away, what's the point of keeping you around?"

The little girl trembled violently, and tears streamed down her face.

A woman in a purple cheongsam walked out of the darkness and grabbed the little girl's ear.

"You can't even manage to take something from the museum properly, so don't expect to eat today."

The little girl winced in pain, "Mommy, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I was scared because there were always people guarding there."

I promise I'll listen to you next time, Mom. It hurts, please don't pull my ear anymore.

This girl must be Jiang Zhi'en when she was a child. She was thin and small, and looked to be only seven or eight years old.

His clothes were loose and baggy, and he had lost his shoes from running so fast.

She reached out to grab Jiang Mengshu's hand, revealing bruises of various sizes on her exposed arm.

Lin Yue never imagined that Jiang Zhi'en had lived such a life when she was a child.

She thought that Jiang Zhi'en ate and lived well in the Jiang family, never went hungry, and that no one would bully her.

Jiang Mengshu, as her mother, also cherishes her like a treasure.

Jiang Mengshu pretended to be a kind mother in front of others, and she actually fooled Lin Yue.

No wonder Jiang Zhi'en went down that path of no return and was willing to risk her life for someone like Bai Ge.

Lin Yue couldn't describe how she felt. In her previous life, Lin Yue hadn't lived this long and didn't know Jiang Zhi'en's fate.

But now she is certain that both she and Jiang Zhi'en have tragic pasts.

As she was deep in thought, she saw Jiang Mengshu grab Jiang Zhi'en's ear without any pity and pull her up into the tunnel.

Lin Yue followed with a sullen face. Although Jiang Mengshu was her mother, she couldn't like her at all, and even thought she was more hateful than Lin's mother.

Jiang Zhi'en screamed in pain, wanting to resist but not daring to fight back, "Mom, let go, it hurts..."

Jiang Mengshu angrily retorted, "If you know how to be hurt, then you should learn your lesson. Go and get what I want right now, or you'll regret it."

Jiang Zhi'en's eyes were filled with grievance as she bit her lip hard. "Mom, there are people there, I...I'm scared..."

That's stealing. If you get caught, you'll be arrested.

Jiang Mengshu raised her hand and slapped Jiang Zhi'en across the face with a loud crack.

"Just go when we tell you to. You're just a little kid, nobody will pay attention to you."

Besides, those things originally belonged to the Chiang family; I'm just taking back what's mine.

Those were all found by her father. If her father hadn't been murdered, those things would have been theirs long ago.

Jiang Zhi'en didn't want to go, so she shrank back and hid. "I... I can't go. The gatekeeper said last time that he would take me to the police station."

"Mom, I don't want to get caught. I'll go home and do chores right now. I promise I won't slack off."

Jiang Mengshu impatiently raised her hand again, "Who asked you to do any work? We're about to go abroad. If we don't bring more things with us, what will we eat and drink?"

If you don't go, I'll throw you out on the street and never care about you again.

Jiang Zhi'en panicked, "Mom, no, I want to stay with Mom, I'll go right now."

Her classmates all knew she was going abroad and were incredibly envious, practically idolizing her.

If she were abandoned, those people would definitely laugh at her, and she couldn't stand those looks and harsh words.

Jiang Mengshu nodded in satisfaction. "If you're afraid of getting caught, wait until it's dark before you go over. The gatekeepers will be asleep by then."

After saying that, she looked at her long fingernails, where a piece of nail polish had chipped off. She glared angrily at Jiang Zhi'en.

"What bad luck! You ruined my newly done manicure."

If you still don't get what you want, get out of here and don't ruin my good mood.

She's such a lowly peasant, I should never have brought her back. I could have just thrown her into some stinking ditch and I wouldn't be so bothered.

She snorted and swayed away, leaving Jiang Zhi'en with tears streaming down her face.

After seeing her walk away, Jiang Zhi'en squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

"Why? Why are you doing this to me? I'm your daughter... Waaah..."

Lin Yue didn't want to watch any longer and instead walked into the tunnel.

This tunnel leads to the museum. It was secretly dug by Grandpa Jiang so that he could steal things from the museum without anyone noticing.

She and Chang Jingxiang were also shocked when they discovered this place. The tunnel was very long, and it must have taken a lot of time. With such a big commotion, no one noticed.

As Lin Yue walked, she heard rustling sounds behind her; Jiang Zhi'en had caught up.

On the other side, Su Qingya stood there, stunned, staring in astonishment at the spot where Lin Yue had disappeared.

"How...how could this be...?" A perfectly healthy person just vanished before her eyes.

Guo Xiaoyang wasn't as shocked as Su Qingya, after all, he had already experienced this once before.

"Qingya, you saw it, didn't you? I didn't lie to you. She disappeared suddenly like this last time too."

I wanted to avenge you, but before I could even fire the shot, he vanished.

Su Qingya's shoulders trembled, her face contorted with rage. "Impossible! She couldn't have just vanished into thin air. Someone must be up to something."

"Xiaoyang, she must be nearby. Send people to search for her immediately; we can't let her get away."

She didn't believe that a living person could disappear into thin air; Lin Yue was just lucky and ran away when they weren't paying attention.

She didn't believe Lin Yue could be so lucky every time and escape her grasp.

She had gone to great lengths to persuade the Guo family this time, and if she missed this opportunity, it would be hard to find another one.

Guo Xiaoyang listened to her every word and led his men to find Lin Yue.

Chang Jingxiang, who was hiding in the shadows, breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Yue was safe now, and no one could see her once she was there.

Just as he was about to grab Su Qingya, two people suddenly appeared and strode towards him.

"Su Qingya, didn't you say everything was foolproof? How come Lin Yue still got away?" Fang Zhenshan walked over angrily.

It was him. Shouldn't he be locked up? How did he end up here?

Su Qingya put on a fawning smile and said ingratiatingly, "Cousin, don't worry, everyone in the garment factory is one of our people. Even if Lin Yue had wings, she couldn't fly away."

Guo Xiaohan's face also showed displeasure. "Su Qingya, didn't you say Lin Yue knew where the treasure was? Did you get it out of her?"

Su Qingya felt uneasy. The treasure story was something she had made up. If she hadn't said that, how could the Guo family have helped her deal with Lin Yue?

"Brother, I almost asked her the truth. I don't know what trick she played, but she suddenly disappeared."

Xiaoyang has already gone to look for her. Once I find her, I'm sure I can get her to talk.

Guo Xiaohan looked at Su Qingya with a cold expression, "You had better keep your word. If you don't find the treasure, you'll have to go back and explain to Dad yourself."

Su Qingya's face flushed red and then turned pale. Guo's father was ruthless, and if he found out she was lying, Su Qingya dared not think any further.

I can't worry about that now, the most important thing is to kill Lin Yue.

Once Lin Yue dies, she becomes the Chang family's daughter-in-law. What can the Guo family do to her then?

Thinking of this, her tense mood relaxed. "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely not let you and Dad down."

Fang Zhenshan looked at Su Qingya with a sinister gaze, "Didn't we say we were going to bring that bastard Chang Jingxiang in too? Where is he?"

He hated Chang Jingxiang to death. If it weren't for Chang Jingxiang, he wouldn't be in this situation now.

Not only was he kicked out of the army, but he was also beaten by his father and forced to marry that slut.

He's so old, and I still beat him up, his face was stomped on the ground.

Su Qingya knew about Fang Zhenshan's quirks and felt disgusted, so she didn't want to talk to him.

But she was no longer the pampered young lady she used to be. Without her family protecting her, she dared not show her disgust on her face.

"Brother Fang, Chang Jingxiang is a cunning and treacherous man. Letting him in will ruin our plans."

I've already planned it all out. It's not too late to deal with him after I get the treasure.

Fang Zhenshan scoffed coldly, "Don't think I don't know about your past with Chang Jingxiang. If you dare to play tricks to protect him, don't blame me for being impolite."

Su Qingya dug her fingernails into her flesh, suppressing her temper as she explained, "Brother Fang, don't overthink it. Chang Jingxiang and I are just neighbors, we have no relation whatsoever."

He stood by and did nothing when my family had a tragedy; I hate him so much.

Lin Yue was his weakness; as long as he could control Lin Yue, Chang Jingxiang would obediently follow his orders.

She originally wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Lin Yue's two bastard children, but she sent people to search the entire border area and still couldn't find them.

No one knows what happened, but Chang's parents and those two bastards just disappeared without a trace. It must be that bitch Lin Yue's doing.

Chang's parents must have been bewitched, because they listened to Lin Yue's every word.

They used to like me so much, how could they accept that country bumpkin of unknown origin?

Su Qingya was so engrossed in her resentment towards the Chang family that she didn't notice the look of disgust in Guo Xiaohan's eyes.

This woman cannot be allowed to live; she is a femme fatale and is not truly sincere towards her brother.

Ever since my younger brother married her, our family has been plagued with misfortunes, all because of this woman.

This time, the commotion has been so huge that it has put the Guo family in the eye of the storm.

A fierce glint flashed in Guo Xiaohan's eyes as he slowly rubbed his fingers together. Fang Zhenshan turned to look at him, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Xiaohan, you should go back first. Don't let anyone see you; it won't be good for your reputation."

Guo Xiaohan looked directly into his eyes, nodded silently, and his fingers inadvertently brushed against the back of Fang Zhenshan's hand.

Su Qingya felt a wave of nausea as she watched the shimmering light between the two.

Her brother-in-law and Fang Zhenshan... ugh...

The thought of two men entangled together made her want to vomit.

Unable to find anyone, Guo Xiaoyang returned to Su Qingya to discuss countermeasures. Seeing Su Qingya covering her mouth and dry heaving, he anxiously patted her back.

"Qingya, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Did you eat something bad?"

Su Qingya rolled her eyes, turned around and playfully punched Guo Xiaoyang's shoulder, saying coquettishly, "You're so annoying, I didn't eat anything bad."

Guo Xiaoyang was puzzled. "Why did you vomit if you didn't eat anything bad? Qingya, should I take you to the hospital to get checked out? Your health is more important than anything else."

Su Qingya nestled shyly into his arms, gently stroking her belly. "Xiaoyang, don't worry, I'm really fine. This is a normal reaction."

"Ah..." Guo Xiaoyang's eyes lit up instantly as he watched her actions. "Qingya, you mean you're pregnant?"

Su Qingya nodded shyly, "I was planning to tell you in a few days, but I didn't expect such a big reaction. I guess I've been tired these past few days."

Guo Xiaoyang happily lifted Su Qingya up and spun her around, "Ah...that's great, we finally have a child, I'm going to be a dad."

Su Qingya felt a pang of guilt as she looked at Guo Xiaoyang's happy expression.

But she had no choice. If she couldn't find the treasure, the Guo family wouldn't let her go, and even Guo Xiaoyang wouldn't be able to protect her then.

If she is carrying the Guo family's grandson, they will definitely treat her like a treasure.

Guo Xiaohan prefers men to women. His family is pressuring him to get married, but he refuses, so he will never have children in his life.

The child in her womb is the only bloodline of the Guo family, their eldest grandson.

From now on, everything belonging to the Guo family will be hers, and no one will dare to touch a single thing she owns.

Guo Xiaoyang was overjoyed; he had always dreamed of having a child with Su Qingya.

That way, Su Qingya's heart will be completely devoted to him, and she will no longer have any thoughts about Chang Jingxiang.

"No, I'll take you to the hospital right now, and we'll leave everything here alone."

Su Qingya grabbed his hand, "Xiaoyang, I'm really fine, we can't leave here."

You know Lin Yue is a knot in my heart. If I don't resolve things with her, I'll always feel uncomfortable.

When I'm in a bad mood, it affects our child, and you don't want that to affect the child either, right?

Guo Xiaoyang gritted his teeth, "Qingya, don't worry, I will avenge you this time no matter what."

Su Qingya feigned affection as she hugged his neck and kissed him on the cheek. "Xiaoyang, you're the best to me. Marrying you is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me."

Guo Xiaoyang was very good to her, but he was too easily swayed and lacked masculinity, unlike Chang Jingxiang's clear-headedness and fortitude.

She still preferred Chang Jingxiang and fantasized about a happy and wonderful life with him after Lin Yue was gone.

Of course, even if she were with Chang Jingxiang, she wouldn't push Guo Xiaoyang away.
