Upon hearing Guo Bing’s question, Ying Zi was secretly pleased.
‘I knew it. These people didn’t know about the jinx’s background. Otherwise, they would have shown fear around the jinx.’ Ying Zi suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked with a surprised and suspicious expression, “Don’t you know?”
Guo Bing endured his disgust and nodded. He thought that only the women in the capital would play mind games, scheme, and even be vicious. He did not expect that a girl in her teens in a remote mountain village could be so scheming and vicious.
Guo Bing didn’t know what grudges this young girl had with Lin Yuelan, but from what they knew of Lin Yuelan, she was the kind of person who was cheerful, generous, kind, and ruthless at the same time. She was not the kind of person who was petty, so it was impossible for Lin Yuelan to take the initiative to make enemies with others.
This girl kept saying she was telling him this for their own good, but Guo Bing could see the jealousy, envy, and resentment in her eyes. She thought she was smart, but she wasn’t. Guo Bing didn’t want to care about the petty grudges between this woman and Lin Yuelan, but he couldn’t stand the girl’s continued slandering of Lin Yuelan’s name. Plus, he was curious about what she’d say.
He wanted to know why Lin Yuelan, in their eyes, was completely different from the one the villagers knew.
From Ying Zi’s words, Guo Bing could tell that Lin Yuelan had a transformative change. There was a reason behind this, and the entire Lin family Village knew it. The soldiers didn’t know about this because they were new to the village.
Ying Zi was excited when Guo Bing stopped to listen to him. ‘I knew that the jinx must have lied to them. Now, I’m going to tell them the truth. Lin Yuelan, you bitch, just wait to suffer their indignation and anger.
‘I want everyone to leave you. No one will dare to approach you because you’re destined to die alone. You don’t deserve to have family or friends. You don’t need so many handsome men surrounding you.
‘I’m going to expose your true face to them. You’re actually a demon in human skin.’
Ying Zi stared at Guo Bing’s face and unconsciously took a few steps forward. Seeing this, Guo Bing’s eyes flashed with annoyance, and he took a few steps back, keeping a certain distance from Ying Zi.
He didn’t want to be seen being too close to this woman. He couldn’t care less about this woman’s reputation, but Guo Bing cared about his dignity.
Guo Bing reached out to stop her and shouted, “Miss, please conduct yourself with dignity! Although it is broad daylight, we should conduct ourselves properly. Miss, please don’t come any further.”
Ying Zi was awoken by Guo Bing’s shout, but when she reacted, her small face immediately turned red and white.
She was both embarrassed and angry.
This was the second time the man had implied that she was shameless.
‘How detestable! Hmph, when you fall into my hands, I’ll make you kneel in front of me and admit your mistakes.’
However, at that moment, Ying Zi immediately restrained her expression and pretended to be careful and fearful as she looked around. Finally, she said softly, “Young master, you don’t know this, but the current Lin Yuelan is very likely not the Lin Yuelan of the past. We all suspect that she is possessed by a demon.”
Guo Bing’s expression instantly became shocked, and there was a little panic on his face. “Why do you say that?” he asked in surprise.
Guo Bing might have exaggerated his expression, but at the same time, he was also genuinely shocked.
He didn’t know that other than the fact that Lin Yuelan was a jinx who would bring bad luck to her husband and family, the villagers also suspected that she was a demon.
Therefore, the villagers were not hiding from them, but they were actually hiding from Lin Yuelan. Lin Yuelan was a demon to them!
