Shui Qingyan frowned, using the few thoughts in her body to form a cold white light in her palm.

Just as the hairpin in fake Huang hua's hand was about to stab onto the Yu Niang, blocking in front of him, the moment Shui Qingyan released her deathblow, a black figure appeared. Qing Mei's eyes flashed with a cold light as she kicked towards fake Huang hua.

Seeing that, Shui Qingyan slowly retracted the white light from her palm.

fake Huang hua was kicked in the stomach by Qing Mei and flew out.

Bang! fake Huang hua heavily landed on the ground, the golden hairpin in her hand also flew out.

"Miss, are you alright?" Yu Niang regained her senses and immediately went to Shui Qingyan's side.

"I'm fine. It's the Yu Niang, if I didn't have the confidence to take her attack, and if not for Qingmei's timely intervention, wouldn't you be in big trouble?" Shui Qingyan smiled as she looked at Yu Niang.

"Miss, what are you saying? As long as Miss is fine, it's fine." Yu Niang shook her head.

"If my life requires the exchange of your lives, then wouldn't I have more lives than a cat?" Shui Qingyan laughed.

"Hmph, Fourth Miss, sure enough, it's different." At this time, fake Huang hua held onto her stomach, she raised her head and looked at Shui Qingyan in pain, her eyes filled with hatred.

At this time, Yu Niang turned around, and at first glance, her eyes met the Cyan Plum Blossom.

"Are you Qingmei!" Yu Niang almost didn't recognize Qing Mei the first time she saw her.

Qing Mei's face was now sallow, her eyes bloodshot. Her face was filled with an unconcealable fatigue, and even the dark green gemstone on her forehead had dimmed considerably.

"Miss." Qing Mei's voice was hoarse.

Shui Qingyan also heard that something was wrong from Qing Mei's voice.

"Shui Qingyan, you're hurt, hurt, my family, but I can't kill you." fake Huang hua suddenly cried. She held her stomach and crawled forward to grab the golden hairpin that flew out of her hand.

"You are a member of the Assistant Minister's family." Shui Qingyan still shook the cup in her hand.

"Hmph." fake Huang hua laughed coldly as tears streamed down her face. In her eyes, there was only the hairpin that could end her lifeless life quickly, and the only hairpin that she still had that could see.

"If you live, you might have more chances to kill me. If you die, you won't have another chance." Shui Qingyan continued.

After fake Huang hua heard this, he looked towards Shui Qingyan.

Shui Qingyan was still sitting there. The unforeseen event didn't affect her in the slightest, and although there wasn't a smile on her face, there wasn't any tempest either.

"You're not going to send me away?" fake Huang hua looked at Shui Qingyan in disbelief.

"I don't plan to." Shui Qingyan put down the cup, stood up and walked over, "Since you're here, it won't be that easy for you to leave."

Shui Qingyan walked in front of fake Huang hua, and then squatted down: "I wasn't the one who killed your father."

"Who else could it be other than you?" fake Huang hua suddenly roared.

"Firstly, I have no reason to kill your father. Secondly, your father's mind is not clear. No one can be blamed for being used as cannon fodder." Shui Qingyan said calmly.

"If you want to die, I won't stop you." Shui Qingyan looked at fake Huang hua, "Your entire family was sent to the side, yet you appeared here. Even if you die, you will implicate your family."

"Shui Qingyan!" fake Huang hua suddenly roared out, "Don't even think about asking me to do something for you."

"We are doing a fair deal." Shui Qingyan slowly smiled, "Do something for me for three years, I guarantee your safety."

Both Yu Niang and Qing Mei knew that Shui Qingyan was giving fake Huang hua a reason to survive.

fake Huang hua looked at Shui Qingyan's face, which was just inches away from him, and mocked: "You must be joking right? Even though I'm just a small daughter of a Assistant Minister, I've attended so many big and small banquets, and no one in the Shui’s Marion can recognize me, it doesn't mean that no one in the entire capital recognizes me."

"I don't intend to keep you by my side." Shui Qingyan smiled and said: "Since you are a daughter of the Assistant Minister, reading and writing shouldn't be a problem, I'll give you a good place to go."

fake Huang hua looked at Shui Qingyan in a daze.

"I'll give you a monthly allowance. You can send it to your family at the border with your salary." Shui Qingyan continued to lure them.

"The living conditions at the border are very bad. Your mother is just a woman, and most of the money earned by the knitted female chisel will be taken away by those tyrannical military lords. However, with your help, things will be different." Shui Qingyan said as she stood up.

"Besides, you can also find evidence to avenge your father." Shui Qingyan said as she nodded his head, "Your father and I have no enmity with each other, but your father is still holding onto me. Could it be that it's because your father and Shui’s Marion have a grudge?"

As fake Huang hua listened to what Shui Qingyan said, a glimmer slowly appeared in her lifeless eyes.

"You can think about it." Shui Qingyan turned and looked at fake Huang hua.

Finally, fake Huang hua opened her mouth: "What do you want me to help you with?"

Shui Qingyan thought about it, she really could not find any other good job for fake Huang hua, so she said: "I'll temporarily take care of the shop."

Shui Qingyan stood up: "I will arrange a new identity for you, but before that, you have to tell me where the real Huang Hua went?"

fake Huang hua wiped away the tears on her face. "When her second brother passed away, I suggested that I help her out for a few days. I asked her to return home to do some work and she still hasn't returned."

Shui Qingyan raised her eyebrows.

"What identity are you arranging for me?" fake Huang hua held her stomach and stood up.

"You offered to replace her?" Shui Qingyan could not help but ask. She was curious how they met.

"Huang Hua would come home every day. I would squat at the back door of Shui Jia every day and she would bring me a steamed bun every day." fake Huang hua said, "That day, she told me that her second brother was about to die. I knew that I had the chance to get close to you, so I asked to stay here for a few days.

"And how did you get back to the capital on your way to the border?" Shui Qingyan asked again.

"My father has an outer room, and that woman has a daughter. My mother made her replace me." fake Huang hua said calmly, "That slut does not dare to reveal the relationship between her and my father. If she were to say anything, she would be in trouble as well.

"Your sister?" After Shui Qingyan heard this, a cold expression flashed across her face.

"I do, because my mother threatened her. If not, her identity as mother would be revealed and her mother would be taken away." fake Huang hua said as she looked at Shui Qingyan, "The reason I came close to you was to kill you."

"You can live until you are a real threat to my life." Shui Qingyan said to Qing Mei, "Let's go to Huang Hua's house to see if there is anyone else."

As soon as Shui Qingyan's words left her mouth, she scoffed coldly, "How can there be no one around this hour?"

"This is a matter of the green plum blossom. You don't need to make any comments." Shui Qingyan's tone unknowingly carried a trace of coldness.

Huang Hua coldly snorted but did not reply.

"If Huang Hua abandoned you today and left you here, what would happen to you?" Shui Qingyan slowly said.

"How is that possible? She already told me about it, and she brings me a steamed bun every day. If it wasn't for her, I would have died a long time ago." Huang Hua did not mind.

"If you can use your conscience to make your sister suffer for you, and even call your sister's mother a slut behind her back, then why can't Huang Hua really use your conscience to make you suffer here for her?" Shui Qingyan said coldly.

fake Huang hua's face paled: "What do you mean?"

"Is Fourth Miss here?" The green plum did not wait for them, but the Yi'an Yard and Senior Servant Qiu s came to send them off.

Yu Niang looked at Shui Qingyan, and immediately helped him to sit on her seat: "Miss, I'll go out and take a look."

Shui Qingyan nodded.

The green plum had already hidden away.

The Yu Niang walked out and coincidentally arrived at the door.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Yu Niang welcomed Senior Servant Qiu into her room. "Please come in Senior Servant Qiu."

After entering, Senior Servant Qiu paid respects to Shui Qingyan as per the rules: "Fourth Miss."

"I just came over from Aunt Erzu's place, and now Senior Servant Qiu is here. Is there something wrong with Aunt Erzu?" Shui Qingyan looked at Senior Servant Qiu with a teacup.

Senior Servant Qiu passed the blood swallow in her hand over. "Fourth young miss, this is the blood swallow that two old wives gave to Fourth young miss to nourish her body, I forgot to give it to Fourth young miss just now."

Yu Niang immediately took it.

Shui Qingyan smiled and said: "Please help me thank Aunt Erzu. In this family, aside from Father, the only person we can rely on is Aunt Erzu."

Hearing this, Senior Servant Qiu nodded and smiled, "That's right. The two old wives also said that with so many granddaughters, Fourth Miss is the most considerate."

Shui Qingyan and Senior Servant Qiu fought for a while before Senior Servant Qiu bade farewell and left.

Not long after Senior Servant Qiu left, Qing Mei returned.

"Fourth Miss, there's no one else at Huang Hua's house. The house has been sold to the neighbors." Qing Mei answered truthfully.

"How could this be?" fake Huang hua shook her head in shock, "It can't be, it can't be, how can she lie to me!"

"Why not? She has never known you, so why did she give you a steamed bun every day?" Shui Qingyan opened her mouth, "I'm not sure if her own family members can eat steamed buns, I don't know how they will give it to you."

fake Huang hua shook her head and staggered back a step.

"Since you and your sister have been swapped, you should live as your sister." Shui Qingyan said, "Wait till you marry the Yu Niang, and then you can use it. In the future, I will take these ten taels of silver from your wages."

Shui Qingyan said, "I will find something for you to do, but not now. Go back and wait, and reflect on it when you go back!"

"Reflect on what?" fake Huang hua looked at Shui Qingyan in a daze.

"Think about it. Why is your sister willing to take your place? Why doesn't your mother let you go to the side? How can you live up to the chance your sister gave you, and your mother's expectations?" Shui Qingyan casually swept her eyes across fake Huang hua.

fake Huang hua's body trembled.
