"Ah..." Feng Caie didn’t expect Yang Ruxin to suddenly go crazy, and she let out a scream before turning to run. However, her feet didn’t cooperate, and she stumbled, falling to the ground, which luckily caused her to avoid a slash of the knife, but it also terrified her to the core, leaving her legs shaking so badly she couldn’t stand up.
Yang Ruxin then raised the cleaver again and chopped down once more.
Feng Caie screamed again, but her reaction was quick. She hurriedly rolled to the side, and the cleaver thudded into the ground, sinking several inches deep due to the force behind it.
"Dani, don’t!" Yang Mancang called out urgently, running over.
Meanwhile, Feng Caie felt a tightness in her lower abdomen, then a warmth in her crotch, and a pungent urine smell immediately began to spread. Her face flushed with embarrassment, and when she saw the village chief running over, she quickly closed her eyes and feigned fainting. After all, how could she face anyone after being scared into peeing herself? She was, after all, the Scholar’s daughter.
Yang Ruxin was the first to notice the dampness under the other woman, and she scoffed, pretending to struggle as she pulled the cleaver out.
By this time, Yang Mancang had already rushed over and grabbed her arm.
"And me, I’m willing to fight you all to the end!" To everyone’s surprise, Sanni also charged out with a kitchen knife at this moment, heading straight for Yang Anshi, "If we’re going to die, let’s die together! After killing you, we’ll kill ourselves, and in the Netherworld, when we see my father, I’d like to see how you’d continue to bully us..."
Yang Baihe was already so frightened that she stood with her mouth agape, not knowing how to react.
Yang Anshi’s mouth fell open, but as she saw the glinting knife descending, she suddenly rolled her eyes back and fainted, collapsing to the ground, and, coincidentally, also narrowly avoiding Sanni’s knife.
The old lady truly fainted.
In the distance, Weng Ji glanced at Qi Jingyi, "Master, you guessed wrong."
Qi Jingyi spread his hands with resignation, "Never expected her and her sister to be so fierce. Qingheng brother might end up under their thumb in the future..."
Weng Ji looked up at the sky, speechless. Could his master worry about any more things?
"Quick, hold them back," Yang Mancang shouted urgently, "Sanni, don’t be impulsive..." then he turned to look at Yang Ruxin, "Good child, don’t be rash." He realized that this time, the girl truly was desperate; someone who was merely being oppressed couldn’t pull off such an act.
In truth, Yang Ruxin couldn’t really kill someone, right? It was just to scare them, but she played her part a bit too convincingly; otherwise, how could she let the other woman dodge the knife? Now that the village chief had grabbed her, she had to carry on with the act, "Second Elder, it’s not that we’re rash. I’m actually very calm now. It’s just that we can’t live like this anymore. If we don’t split the family, we’re a burden. Now that we’ve split, there’s trouble every day. We really can’t take it. The children have nightmares every night, afraid that they might be sold off one day... If this is the case, then let’s just die and be done with it. Wouldn’t death bring peace?"
Over there, Yang Rulin also rushed over and grabbed Sanni.
Aunt Hehua and the others were also intimidated by the sisters’ fierce attitude but now saw that both were restrained and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Family Head understands..." Yang Mancang’s eyes also reddened, "The Family Head doesn’t blame you, you are all good children..."
