Yun Ying was furious. She could still taste horse manure with every breath she took.
She had brushed her teeth several times!
Yet, she still felt disgusted.
This was all Yun Shu's fault!
Yun Shu had to be driven out!
Besides, hadn't her cousin said Yun Shu could never return?
How, after four years, had Yun Shu come back?
Yun Shu's eyes flickered upward, her gaze calmly falling upon Yun Ying.
"What are you looking at? I brushed my teeth! I don't smell on my body or my face!" Yun Ying, unnerved by the stare, clapped a hand over her mouth and took a step back.
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow and smiled thoughtfully, "Brushed your teeth? Did you really swallow a few mouthfuls?"
As expected, Jing Heng was incredibly reliable.
"You! I won't let this go!" Yun Ying felt that Yun Shu was still the same Yun Shu she used to bully, that whatever she wanted Yun Shu to be, Yun Shu had to be!
Her eyes darted, and a wicked thought hatched in her mind.
She plastered on a look of feigned affection, just like before. "Sister, I was wrong, I was truly wrong. Ah, we are sisters after all, I forgive you! Father misses you dearly. But since I've forgiven you, shouldn't you compensate me a little? Why don't you take a walk with me? It's been so long since I had someone to talk to properly. I miss you too, and I have so much to tell you."
This tactic had worked wonders in the past.
As long as they showed Yun Shu a little kindness, Yun Shu would surely obey their every word.
Then they would proceed to torment Yun Shu in countless ways.
Although Yun Shu would be angry at the time, even declaring how much she hated them, a little coaxing would always bring the foolish Yun Shu back into their grasp, ready to be toyed with again.
Yun Ying thought this time would be the same.
She stepped forward, reaching out to grab Yun Shu's arm.
However, just as her hand was about to touch Yun Shu, someone’s hand clamped onto her shoulder, yanking her violently backward and sending her crashing onto a stone table outside the door.
"Ah!" Yun Ying shrieked.
Her scream had barely died down when
a series of pained cries followed.
"Ah, my arm, my arm can't move, it's bleeding, it's bleeding, it hurts so much, it hurts so much!" Yun Ying wailed in agony.
Instantly, the blood seeped through the fabric of her sleeve.
Qiao Er, who had accompanied her and was waiting outside the door, stared with wide, disbelieving eyes at the scene.
"Miss!"
Yun Shu walked out.
She stood at the doorway.
Her cold, clear eyes, as deep as a still well, looked at Yun Ying.
Yun Ying's words had plunged her into the original host's memories. In the past, Yun Yueyin and Yun Ying often used such methods to toy with the naive Yun Shu.
This led to the original host being tormented and hurt time and again.
She had almost forgotten that she still needed to thoroughly investigate who had been secretly poisoning the original host for over a decade.
"Miss, Miss!" Qiao Er called out anxiously.
But she only dared to call, not to approach.
Because the terrifying carriage driver was right there.
"Ah, hurry! What are you standing there for? Go find a doctor! My arm must not have a scar, I absolutely cannot lose my arm!" Yun Ying's vision swam, and she forced her eyes open, only to see Qiao Er frozen in place, afraid to come closer. She couldn't help but curse.
Qiao Er was on the verge of tears, "Miss."
She signaled with her eyes, urging Yun Ying to look at Jing Heng.
Only then did Yun Ying notice Jing Heng.
It was him who had thrown her down!
But the thought of his skill filled her with dread.
"Yun Shu, if anything happens to me, Father and Mother will never forgive you!"
Yun Ying bared her teeth at Yun Shu, standing at the door, and spat out a venomous threat.
