Yang Xingyu mustered his courage and cautiously walked over, only to be kicked to the ground by Xia Yichu as soon as he reached her. His back was still aching from being thrown over Pei Shizhou's shoulder that morning.

"Ouch, that hurts so much! What are you doing? You...you stay away!"

Yang Xingyu watched in fear as Xia Yichu walked towards him. He wondered if he could just not marry Xia Yichu anymore.

"Xingyu, get up quickly and tie Xia Yichu up."

Wang Fengxian anxiously called out to him from the bed, and Yang Xingyu directly handed the rope to Xia Yichu.

"I'm giving you the rope because my grandma wanted to harm you. I'm not doing it anymore."

Yang Xingyu was already afraid that Xia Yichu would report him to the police, and now that she had kicked him away, he was even more frightened.

It's too late.

Xia Yichu picked up a rope and tied Yang Xingyu up. Yang Xingyu really couldn't get up; his back and buttocks hurt.

"Please, please let me go. I'll tell you everything. My grandma and aunt drugged your water and tried to force you to drink it. The rest is none of my business. Please don't tie me up."

"Yang Xingyu, shut up, you're such a coward."

Wang Fengxian was furious at his lack of ambition; she wished her eldest grandson were here. Yang Xingyu didn't care; if he hadn't been more cowardly, he would have been in jail.

"Sister Yichu, you've tied me up, please don't hit me."

He's already tied up, what can he do? Besides, being tied up is better than being beaten.

"Don't worry, I won't hit you."

Just as Yang Xingyu was relieved, he saw Xia Yichu snatch the water from his grandmother's hand.

"Here, drink this water, and I won't hit you."

"No, that won't do."

Yang Xingyu shook his head desperately. He was currently tied up by Xia Yichu, and drinking that water would be fatal.

"Xia Yichu, how dare you?"

"Wang Fengxian, what wouldn't I dare to do? You're the ones who harmed me first."

"You, you..." Wang Fengxian was so angry that she could only point at her and say nothing else.

"Xia Yichu, I won't drink it, people will die."

As Xia Yichu walked towards him step by step, Yang Xingyu was filled with extreme fear.

"How could that be? Your aunt and uncle drank it more than 20 years ago. Don't worry, you won't die."

"No, no."

Yang Xingyu could no longer hear what Xia Yichu was saying, and he kept shrinking back.

Wang Fengxian was also unsettled after hearing Xia Yichu's words. She stared wide-eyed incredulously and said, "How do you know about this? It's impossible. No one in the Xia family except Xia Guohua knows about this."

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for the elderly couple of the Xia family to watch helplessly as Xia Zhiheng cleaned up one mess after another for the Yang family's grandson after Xia Guohua's death, turning a blind eye to what the Yang family did.

It's only because her daughter has been a widow for so many years and gave birth to two grandsons for the Xia family.

"It's none of my business how I know. You have two choices now. First, make Yang Xingyu drink this water."

"Second, second, I choose second."

Yang Xingyu couldn't wait to interrupt Xia Yichu, saying he would do anything as long as he wasn't allowed to drink water.

"Yang Xingyu, you have no choice. The choice is in your grandmother's hands."

"Grandma," Yang Xingyu looked at Wang Fengxian with anticipation.

"you say"

Wang Fengxian's face was gloomy; she had been hunting geese all day, but a gosling had pecked her eye.

"Tell me how you drugged my uncle."

"You little bitch, what can you do even if I don't say anything? Don't think I don't understand. If anything happens to my grandson in your care, you won't get away with it either. If anything happens to him, you'll have to pay with your life."

In her heart, her grandson's life was definitely more precious than Xia Yichu's, but Wang Fengxian didn't believe Xia Yichu would dare to do such a thing; he must be just trying to scare her.

"Yang Xingyu, did you hear that? It's not that I'm not going to let you go, it's that your grandma doesn't care whether you live or die. You'd better just drink the water yourself, then I won't have to force it down your throat, and you'll feel a little better that way."

"Wait a minute, let me try to persuade my grandma again."

Yang Xingyu didn't believe his grandmother would abandon him, even though she had said that her five grandsons were her lifeblood.

"Okay, you have one minute."

Xia Yichu stood to the side looking at his watch, which made Wang Fengxian even more certain that Xia Yichu was just trying to scare them.

"Grandma, just listen to her and tell her the whole story. Uncle has been dead for over twenty years, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Xingyu, don't be afraid, Xia Yichu is just trying to scare you," Wang Fengxian said, unmoved.

"Grandma, what if it's true?"

"There's no 'what if'"

Wang Fengxian ruthlessly turned her head away from Yang Xingyu; Xia Yichu, a young girl, was too inexperienced to compete with her.

"But…"

"Alright, time's up. I'm sorry, Yang Xingyu, you couldn't convince your grandma. Are you going to drink it yourself, or should I force you?"

"Grandma, save me!"

Yang Xingyu couldn't believe that there was nothing Xia Yichu wouldn't dare to do, given that someone who dared to hit even his own grandmother.

"Xia Yichu, you dare! That water was laced with drugs for breeding pigs. If something happens to my Xingyu, you'll have to pay with your life. You're rich, you own a house, and you're a college graduate. Are you willing to give that up?"

"I can't bear to part with him! I never intended to pay for his life."

Xia Yichu pinched Yang Xingyu's mouth shut, but Yang Xingyu kept his mouth tightly shut.

"I told you you're a smart man, you wouldn't do something so foolish. Do you know that medicine can kill someone without a woman? Let go of my grandson right now!"

"You're wrong. There are women here. How could there not be women? I don't want to get my hands dirty. Don't worry, your grandson won't die."

"You're talking nonsense. Who else is here besides the three of us? It can't be that you're short of men and want to be my grandson's antidote, can it?"

Xia Yichu released Yang Xingyu, her expression intriguing as she said, "Even though you're almost seventy, you're still a woman, right?"

It took Wang Fengxian a while to understand her words. She was crazy. Xia Yichu was crazy. This was worse than death for her. Xia Yichu squatted down and pinched Yang Xingyu's mouth again.

"Xia Yichu, you dare! You'll die a horrible death! Stop! Stop! I'll talk!"

Just as Xia Yichu put the water to Yang Xingyu's lips, Wang Fengxian finally let go.

"I know most of what happened. You only have one chance, so you'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, we'll make sure your Yang family will never have the face to show their faces again."

Think it through before you speak. I didn't buy the medicine. Even if something goes wrong and the police investigate, I'll just be the victim.

Xia Yichu put her hands in her pockets and turned on the voice recorder. She had asked Pei Shizhou to take her to buy it that morning; she learned this method from Feng Yarou in her previous life.

"Yunxia rolled down a small hill while digging for wild vegetables. Xia Guohua, on his way home from vacation, brought her back. I don't know him, but I know your grandparents."

I also knew they had a son named Xia Guohua who was a military officer. He introduced himself after dropping my daughter off, so I set my sights on him.

The two families lived not far apart, so if they wanted to find out, they would know anything. Not to mention, Wang Fengxian had always wanted to find a good husband for her daughter, and naturally, she was interested in a military officer like Xia Guohua.

Xia Yichu is still too naive. Even if she knew now, what could she do? Once she's out of that door, she'd never admit to saying those things.

"Xia Guohua wanted to leave, but I stopped him and asked him to leave his home address, saying that I would bring my daughter to thank him another day. He refused, saying that it was just a small favor and there was no need to thank me."

Finally, after much pleading, I managed to persuade him to stay for a glass of water before he reluctantly agreed. I drugged them both, and they slept in Yunxia's room. That's how it happened; I'm not lying.

Wang Fengxian still had a backup plan; as long as Yang Yunxia was alright, the family could still benefit from her influence.

She had considered that no matter how Xia Yichu found out about this, she couldn't possibly know that her daughter had seen her drug her. Her daughter wasn't stupid; she would never tell anyone about this, even if it meant death.
