After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Although it was a smile that seemed no different from any other, it sent chills down Xie Zhi's spine, and she quickly pulled her mother away.

Jiang Yuyue's glance at her was clearly meaningful.

In her previous life, Xie Zhi acted timidly and cowardly, just like she does now, and dared not have any contact with others. Therefore, even though Jiang Yuyue had only met her a few times, she felt sorry for her cautious nature and took good care of the second branch of the family.

Before Jiang Yuyue died tragically under Xie Yunqi's blade in her previous life, she was unable to exert any strength because she drank the medicine sent by Xie Zhi. Otherwise, given her own martial arts skills, it would not have been difficult for her to escape.

It was because of Xie Zhi's treachery that Jiang Yuyue missed her chance to escape. By the time Xie Yunqi arrived with his sword, Xie Zhi was watching her cries for help with a cold eye.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad, but Xie Zhi not only ignored her pleas, but also urged Xie Yunqi to make a clean cut and not to make too much noise to arouse suspicion!

Even today, Jiang Yuyue can clearly recall Xie Zhi's cold gaze, which was completely different from her usual self.

If she really wanted to be honest, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for her to consider Xie Zhi as the direct murderer of her tragic death in her previous life!

Having learned a painful lesson from her previous life, Jiang Yuyue paid extra attention to Xie Zhi after her rebirth, but she couldn't see anything strange about her other than her timid and hesitant manner. But now, she finally discovered that something was wrong with Xie Zhi!

Sure enough, the fox's tail was bound to be revealed sooner or later.

Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Madam Xie's unusual attitude must have been instigated by Xie Zhi; otherwise, she would never have suddenly proposed to leave.

And then there was the time when Xie Yuan suddenly suspected she was pregnant. If someone hadn't deliberately reminded her, how could a fool like Xie Yuan have noticed these details?

Now all these bits and pieces are gradually connecting. If she's not mistaken, Xie Zhi, the mastermind behind it all, is probably behind it all.

Xiao Liu stood to the side, watching her young mistress stare at the backs of the second wife and her daughter with a strange smile. For some reason, she felt a chill run down her spine, as she felt that her young mistress's smile was somewhat sinister.

After obtaining Jiang Yuyue's permission, the second branch of the family hurriedly began packing their things to leave. Madam Xie was still cautious, thinking that she had no money, so she secretly hoarded a lot of valuable items from the Jiang family, which she could sell later to support herself for a while!

When dinner time came, the First Madam immediately noticed that none of the Second Family members had come.

"Where are the people from the second house?"

Even though Madam Xie rarely meets with the second branch of the family now, her hostility towards them remains unchanged. "They certainly know how to put on airs. Do they need to be invited to meals now?"

"Madam, you've misunderstood them."

Jiang Yuyue sighed helplessly, "My second aunt came to see me during the day, saying that seeing that Erlang's illness was not improving, she did not want to trouble me anymore and wanted to take Erlang out to seek medical treatment. Although I tried to persuade them to stay, my second aunt seemed determined to leave, so I had no choice but to agree."

"The second wife's people have left?"

Madam Xie's face lit up with joy. She had long disliked the second branch of the family. In her opinion, the Xie family was only able to live in their current place because Jiang Yuyue had once been her daughter-in-law. The second branch of the family was just benefiting from her fame. But she never expected that the family of fools would actually leave on their own!

"If you ask me, it would be best if they left."

Madam Xie gloated, "Yue'er, you shouldn't have brought them along in the first place. They're just a bunch of ungrateful bastards. Now they're leaving as soon as they want. Do they even respect you?"

Jiang Yuyue did not comment on this, but Old Madam Xie ended the topic with a displeased look, "Alright, they're gone, why are you still talking about them? Just eat your meal!"

Madam Xie was too lazy to argue at this point. Without the annoying faces of the second branch of the family, she found the meal more enjoyable!

A few days later, at night.

"Are the people keeping an eye on the Jiang family? Has Jiang Yuyue made any move yet?"

It has been more than a month since Xie Yunqi and Jiang Yuyue divorced. Although she promised to tell him once she found that thing, so much time has passed and there has been no news at all.

This made Xie Yunqi a little irritated. According to the information he knew, Jiang Yuyue's parents, who were traveling, had returned to the Jiang family a few days ago. How could she not have asked about it yet?

"No news yet."

The subordinate hurriedly replied, "Jiang Yuyue has hardly left the house these past few days."

Hearing this, Xie Yunqi felt even more uneasy. Prince Ning hadn't been staying at Tongfu Inn during this time; instead, he had gone out to deal with those messes. But judging from the timeline, Prince Ning would be back in the next day or two.

Prince Ning, Song Yunming, was in a bad mood because his power in Jiangnan had been severely damaged by Prince Jing. If Xie Yunqi could present such a valuable treasure to Prince Ning at this time, he would surely gain Prince Ning's trust in one fell swoop!

But why... why was Xie Jinglan also taken to the Jiang family?

Xie Yunqi gritted his teeth with hatred at the thought of this. If he hadn't been worried that if he went to the Jiang family rashly, Prince Jing would find out that he was looking for that treasure and take advantage of his proximity, Xie Yunqi would have made his move long ago!

But now that there's been no news for so long, he can't wait any longer!

Xie Yunqi secretly decided that he would definitely go to the Jiang family to get the things from Jiang Yuyue first thing tomorrow morning!

However, his actions were ultimately a step too slow.

"Your Highness, are you truly going to make your move today?"

Seeing Song Yunming's ashen face, the subordinate cautiously asked to confirm, "The Prince Consort's family..."

"Who do his family matter?"

Song Yunming was still annoyed at having suffered such a huge loss, so he glared at the man, who dared not ask any more questions. "Just do as I say!"

"Yes."

As night deepened and all was quiet, flames suddenly shot into the sky from the Jiang family's residence.

Dozens of well-trained men in black stormed into the Jiang family compound and swiftly dispatched the servants guarding the entrance. These men were clearly familiar with the Jiang family's layout. After dealing with the servants blocking their way, they headed straight for Jiang Yuyue's family residence.

However, the two courtyards were not inhabited by the Jiang family couple and Jiang Yuyue herself, but by the three members of the eldest branch of the family.

Xie Yuan was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly violently pulled from the bed. Before she could react, she saw a gleaming knife held against her neck.
