Xue Ling was in a lot of pain after the fall, and her clothes were dirtied again.

?This won?t do. My clothes are dirty. I want to go up and change into a new one.?

She was ready to push An Jiuyue and Yan Yan out of the way and head upstairs to change. She was brazen.

But An Jiuyue wasn?t going to be civil with her either.

She lifted her leg and kicked Xue Ling once again. This time, Xue Ling fell on the block of stone laid out on the floor.

?Woah!? Xue Ling broke her fall with her hands and grazed her palms.

?You?? She looked up at An Jiuyue in disbelief. She couldn?t believe that woman dared to treat her like this!

She whipped around and looked pitifully towards the man sitting in front of the fire, demanding that he take revenge for her. ?Brother Yun, this woman hit me! You have to help me kill this b*tch!?

Everyone looked at the man nervously.

From the moment he sat down, everyone around him could sense that he was emanating a different aura. They were too afraid to even speak loudly.

They were worried about what would happen if the man really dealt with An Jiuyue because of that arrogant lady.

The man grew visibly annoyed when he heard Xue Ling?s words. He turned, locking his cold eyes with hers immediately. His gaze was like the dead of winter, and it made people quiver.

?Are you done causing a scene??

?I?? Xue Ling felt goosebumps from his stare. She trembled and did not dare to say a word.

?Is this how you treat the person who saved your life?? the man asked icily.

?I?? Xue Ling pursed her lips and looked at him aggrievedly before glancing at An Jiuyue. ?I? I?m tired! Am I not allowed to rest for a while? She has several rooms upstairs. Why can?t she spare me a room to sleep in? I can pay!?

She reached into her clothes for her money as she spoke.

However, she searched for a long time and could not find anything. She then recalled that she had lost most of her belongings in the flood. All she had left on her were some jade items.

These jade were valuable, and she was unwilling to give them to a village girl like An Jiuyue.

After some thought, she looked at Yan Yan and said, ?Yan Yan, lend me some money. I?ll return it to you when we get home.?

Yan Yan was speechless.

She finally saw Xue Ling?s true nature.

Xue Ling, who appeared to be a cultured and refined young lady from a wealthy family, was actually like this.

To think she was once willing to be a matchmaker for her brother and Xue Ling if her sister-in-law was really not around anymore.

However, she realized now that it would be plain ridiculous if they became a couple.

Xue Ling was not as good-hearted as she had believed. She had always been pretending, but her true nature was finally revealed in this critical moment.

?Sister Xue Ling, I don?t have any silver on me either,? Yan Yan replied bluntly.

Xue Ling felt her anger caught in her throat, almost suffocating her. She gritted her teeth and glared at An Jiuyue. She turned around and was ready to sit next to the man.

However, someone was faster than her and rushed to his side first.
