She suddenly screamed.
Covering her face and looking up, Yun Chuqing saw the culprit—the small white monkey. Upon seeing her look over, it had the audacity to show off by waving its palm at her. The sharp nails still had a trace of blood on them, clearly from scratching her face just now.
"Damn beast!" Yun Chuqing cursed in a high-pitched voice, then said to the people around her, "Catch that little beast for me, I want to skin and debone it!"
Yun Chuqing’s clothes were gently tugged, and her husband signaled for her to look to the side.
Yun Chuqing raised her head and felt her scalp tingle at the scene before her: Without knowing when, the forest had rebelled, and the clearing and even behind them were teeming with all kinds of animals, not just ferocious beasts like tigers, but also poisonous ones like snakes, and Yun Chuqing even spotted a few rabbits.
Only now did she start to feel fear, resenting herself for losing her composure at the sight of that face.
This girl living alone in such a place was obviously not ordinary; they should not have trifled with her so lightly.
Looking at it now... this person might be some strange creature!
She forced a smile, "This is all a misunderstanding... If you, young lady, do not wish to come with us, we will certainly not force you."
Gu Shengyin said coldly, "Leave this place immediately!"
Yun Chuqing’s husband immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, just call these... animals back, and we’ll leave at once."
Gu Shengyin gestured with her hand, and the animals behind them orderly moved to either side, their gazes still tightly fixed on them, as if they were prey ready to be caught.
The group no longer dared to delay and quickly left in the carriage.
"Husband, are we just leaving ?" Yun Chuqing covered her face, which for some reason wouldn’t stop bleeding despite the medicine, a stinging pain. She felt extremely indignant.
Her husband rarely took a firm stand, "Stay if you want to be food for those beasts."
Yun Chuqing opened her mouth, still unconvinced, "We could report to the officials... "
"Will you just behave yourself!" Her husband suddenly shouted in anger, "Don’t you ever stop causing trouble!"
He was scared too; if anything had gone slightly awry, they all could have perished there. It was all because of this trouble-making woman; otherwise why would he have to suffer such fear?
"How dare you yell at me? Have you forgotten who gave you the money to buy this position? How dare you yell at me!" Yun Chuqing was stunned for a moment before shouting.
Zhang Yuan’s expression sank upon hearing this. Even if he had a soft temperament, relying on his wife’s family’s influence to buy into a position was something that didn’t sound honorable.
"You! You are utterly unreasonable!" He felt like he couldn’t stand this woman any longer, snorted coldly, and left, lifting the curtain, with horses outside.
"Miss, you shouldn’t speak to the young master like that..." Yun Chuqing’s maid said uneasily.
"Hmph! Did I say anything wrong? If not for my Yun Family’s support, he would still be nothing but worthless trash," Yun Chuqing said coldly.
This scene was faithfully reported to Gu Shengyin by the system.
Gu Shengyin withdrew her gaze, good, the seeds of distrust and discord were sown. The next events wouldn’t need her intervention; those two could very well destroy themselves.
