Everyone expected Liu Jiayin to be angry.

But the villagers expected that she’d be angry because of Lin Yuelan’s deception.

After all, Lin Yuelan was a jinx. If she got too close to someone, that person might die. Therefore, it was understandable for Liu Jiayin to be angry after knowing Lin Yuelan’s real background.

Liu Jiayin’s cheeks were red, and her eyes were filled with unusual anger. She glanced at the villagers who were watching a show, and then said loudly, “You despicable villagers, what’s wrong with sister Yue? You called her a jinx, but what has she done to you? Plus, what kind of parents does Sister Yue have? They are too heartless. With parents like that, it’s better to be alone. No wonder Sister Yue said that they’re gone!”

Ha…

Liu Jiayin’s sharp words made many people suck in a breath.

Lin Yuelan had said the same words before, but the villagers didn’t believe her. When Liu Jiayin repeated the same things, they felt angry.

Why?

They were angry about Liu Jiayin’s accusation, especially Ying Zi, who was now jealous of Lin Yuelan.

When these two heard that Lin Yuelan was a jinx, they didn’t get angry at Lin Yuelan for lying to them, but they felt sympathy for her.

Ying Zi glanced at the surprised crowd around her. After that, she slowly walked up to Liu Qi, half bent her body, and gave him the curtsy reminiscent of a rich young lady. Ying Zi mimicked this from some of the young ladies she had seen in town.

Ying Zi stood up and glanced at the entrance of Lin Yuelan’s house. She looked a little embarrassed as she spoke to Liu Qi and Liu Jiayin. When she looked at Liu Qi, there was a shy and bashful look on her face, “Young master, young miss, it’s not that I’m complaining about Lin Yuelan, but… I’m really doing you both a favor. Just now, Auntie Liu has already told you that three years ago, the youngest son of our village chief helped her. However, not too long after that, he had an accident while riding on the ox cart, causing his lower body to be paralyzed. Even now, he is lying on the bed, and his title as the elementary scholar has been revoked. This is all her fault.

“Young Master and Young Miss are so close to her. The villagers and I are worried that the same tragedy will happen to you as it did the elementary scholar.

“Furthermore, it’s not that the jinx’s parents didn’t want her. They are not cold-blooded and heartless. However, they have been so cursed by the jinx that they are weak and sick. The mother is weak that she can’t even do any farm work.

“However, after the jinx is kicked out of the family, her parents’ health miraculously recovered. Young Master, Young Miss, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the other villagers.”

Ying Zi smeared Lin Yuelan’s name on the pretext of protecting the Liu Siblings. She wanted them to hate Lin Yuelan like the rest of the villagers.

After all, even if Lin Yuelan suddenly gained divine power and gained wisdom, most of the villagers still hated and rejected her as before. This was why Ying Zi believed the villagers would be on her side. The villagers wouldn’t have anything good to say about Lin Yuelan.

Liu Jiayin did not care at all whether Lin Yuelan was a jinx or not. In her heart, Lin Yuelan would always be the heroine who carried the big tigers on her shoulders and stood majestically on the streets.

Plus, Liu Jiayin might be naive but she was not dumb. When she saw how this girl who was acting all coy before her elder brother, how could she not know what the girl was aiming at?

Liu Jiayin had encountered many women like this.

They were all lusting after her brother who was rich and handsome. They shamelessly tossed themselves at him. They either blushed at her brother, or purposely dropped their stuff around him. In the past, there were even some who pretended to trip and wanted to fall into her brother’s arms…

Liu Jiayin really had no idea how these people could be so shameless. This girl before her was even worse. She slandered her new friend while trying to attract her brother’s attention. How annoying.

Then, Liu Jiayin stared at Ying Zi with disdain and said, “Stop acting so coquettish around my brother. You look so ugly, and your heart is even uglier. My brother will not be interested in you!” She then added, “You are not worthy of my brother!”

Ying Zi’s face turned from a bashful red to an even redder one. She was so angry that she turned red from embarrassment.

She had never thought that the girl in front of her, who was only a little shorter than her, would have such a vicious mouth.

Yes, she was trying to seduce the young master but being exposed so openly, Ying Zi felt so ashamsed.

Ying Zi was ultimately just twelve years old. She was still a child. She immediately frowned at Liu Jiayin and shouted angrily, “What’s wrong with you? I came here with good intentions to remind you, but you turned back to scold me instead. Do you really think that I am a country kid who is easy to bully?”

But then, her expression changed again. She looked at Liu Qi with an innocent and aggrieved expression and said in a coquettish tone, “Young master, I really didn’t mean that. Look at your sister, how could she say these things about me? If those words get out, how can I still get married?” That was a big enough hint that Ying Zi wanted to marry this young master.

Liu Jiayin raised her head and rolled her eyes. She sneered and muttered, “What a shameless woman!”

Liu Qi rubbed his forehead. Having such a willful and unruly sister gave him a headache.

Although this person called Ying Zi indeed had lustful feelings for him, his sister couldn’t make her lose face.

Moreover, this girl called Ying Zi did come to remind them out of kindness. She had no malicious intentions.

Liu Qi cupped his fists and said to Ying Zi, “Young Lady, thank you for your kindness. But, we know what we are going to do. Please leave us for now!”

He did not mention anything about his younger sister insulting her.

Although Ying Zi was very displeased, she could only glare at Liu Jiayin when she saw Lin Yuelan coming out from the door. After that, she stomped her feet and left.

When Liu Jiayin saw Lin Yuelan coming out, she immediately stepped forward in anger and asked, “Sister Yue, they all say that you are a jinx. Is that true?”
