There were several artisan sisters, including Xu Huibing, inside the shop just now. It would be terrible if they got hurt, and the goods in the shop couldn't be damaged either.

Therefore, Yun Qingjin deliberately did not struggle inside the room, but waited until she was outside before finding an opportunity to break free from the two men.

When Yun Qingjin made a scene, the surrounding shops and ordinary customers gathered around. Among them were people who had seen Yun Qingjin before and knew that she was Boss Yun's daughter.

"Huh? What's going on? Why are you kidnapping someone in the street?!"

Aunt Hua and Liu Zhou'er, having heard the news, had already come out from the backyard. They were both shocked to see the two people holding Yun Qingjin.

"Who goes there?!" Aunt Hua, always fierce, stepped forward and hugged Yun Qingjin.

"Auntie, you've arrived! These men have ill intentions and want to get violent!"

"Auntie is here, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid at all! You're the one who's really pitiful, Auntie! You were abandoned by your husband when you were young, and now he has a second wife. What is he doing? Is he trying to get back at his ex? How shameless!"

When Yun Qingjin went outside, she saw that many villagers and neighbors had gathered there again, so she stopped trying to hide and started shouting loudly.

The little girl's voice was extremely high-pitched, and many people around heard what she said.

"What's going on? Who is this person?"

"I don't know, she's probably just an ordinary old lady."

"It's so sad. They look quite old. These people seem to be rich. Money corrupts people. There are just too many of them."

"That's it!"

The noise outside quickly reached the room. Yun Qingjin deliberately chose some unpleasant words. Although they weren't exactly swear words, they were sarcastic and sounded quite harsh.

Liu Jie came out quickly and saw that Aunt Hua and Liu Zhou'er had arrived. He wanted to arrange for someone to kidnap them.

Unfortunately, the neighbors have now figured out what these people are up to. Several neighbors who know Yun Qingjin have stepped forward to stop them, and some have even gone to find the local village head.

"Master, don't make a move yet, please invite them in first." Deng Wanyi didn't leave the room, she just spoke.

Upon hearing their mistress speak, the burly men naturally stopped grabbing the person.

Liu Jie stepped forward and whispered to Aunt Hua, "Yu Niang... my wife wants to talk to you about something. Come inside with me, let's not stay outside, let's go inside first."

"Your wife? Oh, I knew I was right. You've been making a fortune outside for the past twenty years, and you've got a new wife. You don't care about your son and daughter at home, and now you've made a mess of that jewelry shop too!"

Aunt Hua didn't try to keep quiet; she just stood outside, letting everyone hear her.

"Come inside with me first!"

"No entry!"

"Don't force me to take action!"

"Say what you have to say right here!"

When Aunt Hua saw that the other party had sent a large group of people over, she probably guessed that this person was planning to kidnap someone. Since Yun Qingjin had already made a scene, she might as well go with the flow. After all, in this kind of situation, she was the victim, and it was others who would lose face.

"You! This is our family matter!"

"It's been almost twenty years and you haven't come back. How dare you call yourselves family?"

The two argued incessantly outside, their voices deafening. Finally, the people inside could no longer remain silent, and Deng Wanyi came out of the jewelry shop.

He no longer bowed, and his tone of voice lost its original gentleness.

"You are Hua Yuniang?" Deng Wanyi glanced at Hua Yuniang in front of her.

Deng Wanyi originally thought she would meet an old woman worn down by life, but she did not expect that although Hua Yuniang was indeed a bit old, she still had some charm in her eyes and brows, and the young girl next to her was even more beautiful.

"Who are you?" Although he had never met Liu Jie's new wife, he seemed to have guessed her identity, so his tone was a little angry.

"I am his wife now."

"Humph."

“We are family after all. It’s not that the master didn’t want to come to you all these years. When he fell into the water and had an accident, my family took care of him for a long time. Later, he was busy making money in business and was delayed in other places, so he didn’t have time to go back.”

"What does this have to do with me? What are you here for?" Aunt Hua said very little, only pulling her daughter along while protecting Yun Qingjin.

"...The master said that his daughter is getting old and has not yet been betrothed, so I happen to have some connections and have found a good match for her. I'm here today for no other reason than to talk to my daughter and arrange her marriage."

“I’ll take care of my daughter; you don’t need to interfere.”

"Do you really care about your daughter? She must be in her twenties by now, and she's still not engaged? Oh? Could it be because she has some kind of hidden illness?"

Deng Wanyi stopped pretending. Since the other party wasn't giving her any face, she decided to say something hurtful in order to make those around her question Liu Zhou'er.

"Hey? I think that woman is Miss Liu, Doctor Xue's assistant?" Someone in the crowd recognized Liu Zhou'er.

Liu Zhou'er had already learned medicine when she was in Xin'an City. After arriving in Changgan City, she happened to meet the famous female doctor in Changgan, Doctor Xue. So she took the initiative to assist Doctor Xue and saved many people.

Doctor Xue usually sits in his own pharmacy, mainly treating women, and occasionally he will make joint house calls with other doctors from his own pharmacy.

However, Doctor Xue rarely showed his face, so some people didn't recognize him, and only some women knew him.

"Hmph, what does it matter to you whether I get married or not? I'm here with Doctor Xue to heal the sick and save lives; I don't want to get married and have children." Liu Zhou'er stared straight at Deng Wanyi with disdain.

"So, if you're here for my marriage, then please leave. I don't need it. I'm willing to work with Doctor Xue to treat patients and save lives, and I don't plan to get married. At worst, I'll cut my hair and become a nun."

Deng Wanyi and Liu Jie exchanged a glance, probably realizing that things might not go smoothly today.

"Let's discuss this matter later," Deng Wanyi said.

"Since we can't talk much more today, let's not say anything more. Let's head back now, and see you another day."

Aunt Hua shook her head. "I'm sorry, I won't see you again another day. You're not welcome in my home. So what if you're his wife? Anyway, my husband from back then has already been deregistered in our hometown. He's long dead. We'll keep to ourselves. Don't come looking for me again. Goodbye."

Aunt Hua pulled Yun Qingjin along, saying, "Qingqing, I'm sorry I scared you. I'll take you home."

The three of them bypassed the couple and went straight back into Yanchun Pavilion without giving each other a second glance.

In front of their fellow villagers, Deng Wanyi and Liu Jie felt it wasn't appropriate to do anything now. After being rebuffed, they had no choice but to leave with their men.

However, before leaving, Liu Jie seemed to wink at someone.

After everyone left, the place seemed to be the same as before.

But it's obvious that there are more eyes watching the area around Yunji's shop.

When Yun Qingjin returned to her room, she caught a glimpse of several guests she had never seen before out of the corner of her eye.

"They even sent people to keep an eye on them, huh? They're really dreaming."
