After Mrs. Lin was asked to leave, the few people who were on good terms with her felt embarrassed to stay any longer and hurriedly found excuses to leave.

After the commotion, seeing that no one was in the mood for the feast anymore, Lady Yu ordered the servants to bring up the wine.

The wife of Duke Yu first filled a glass of wine for herself, raised the glass and said to everyone,

"I brewed this bamboo leaf wine years ago. It's sweet and refreshing, and tastes really good. You may want to try it."

After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.

Although everyone had different thoughts, they were still very supportive and drank a glass of wine.

The second half of the banquet barely ended in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.

When Zhao Huayin was almost at the door with Shen Bi and Madam Xu, they happened to see Madam Zhao getting into the car. After Zhao Huaqin helped Madam Zhao get into the car, she left.

Madam Xu cordially invited Shen Bi and others to her house. Thinking of Zhao Huaqin's indignant expression during the meal just now, she was afraid that she was going to go find the person who gave her the doll.

So Zhao Huayin and Yan Zhao looked at each other and said to Madam Xu,

"I shouldn't have declined your kindness, Auntie. But there's something urgent going on at Yunshangfang, so my brother and I have to go over there to take a look. I can only pay my respects to Auntie next time."

"Yes, Huayin and I will visit my aunt's house next time."

Madam Xu had been very happy since she saw Zhao Huayin today. Seeing the two of them saying this, she felt it was inconvenient to keep them. She gave them a few more instructions and then pulled Shen Bi into her carriage.

Shen Bi naturally thought that the two were going to Yunshangfang, so he didn't think much about it and followed Madam Xu into the car.

Seeing the two men walking away, Zhao Huayin said to Yan Zhao,

"Brother, I want to go see Huaqin. Someone must have been giving her advice behind today's events. I want to see who is behind her.

As for Yunshangfang, I'll have to trouble you, brother, to look after it for me. Princess Jiayi's skirt should be the last step today, so there must be no mistakes."

"You really don't need me to go with you?"

"Brother, don't worry. I have Liuyun Dianxue with me. I also brought Qingshuang with me today. You will be safe."

Seeing Zhao Huayin's insistence, Yan Zhao nodded.

"Well, be careful. If anything happens, send someone to deliver a letter."

"Brother, don't worry!"

Zhao Huayin agreed solemnly, and Yan Zhao then went back to Yunshangfang.

"Qingshuang, where did the people go?"

"West of the city."

Qingshuang answered clearly and concisely.

"go!"

Zhao Huayin got on the car, Qingshuang asked the driver to get off and drove the car herself.

"Girls, hold on tight!"

As Qingshuang finished speaking, the carriage started running quickly.

"Be careful girl!"

Liuyun and Dianxue clung to the wall of the car, and then reached out to support Zhao Huayin.

The carriage sped for a while and then suddenly slowed down. Qingshuang's voice came.

"Girl, it's just ahead."

Zhao Huayin lifted the curtain and saw Zhao Huaqin's carriage parked in front of a small farmyard. There was no one in the yard.

"You guys wait here, Qingshuang and I will go in and take a look."

After Zhao Huayin gave the order, Qingshuang grabbed her arm and lifted her up, and she jumped up and landed gently in the yard.

When they approached the window, they heard Zhao Huaqin's angry voice.

"I gave you so much money, and you dared to cheat me! Do you believe that I can hand you over to the authorities immediately?"

Zhao Huayin was feeling a little regretful that she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, and then she realized that Qingshuang had somehow managed to make a hole in the window.

Zhao Huayin looked inside through the small hole and saw an old woman dressed in Jiaozhi style sitting at the table in the house.

Zhao Huaqin stood aside, very emotional, but the old woman sat there motionless.

"Girl, please be patient."

The old woman was stroking a piece of ink-colored jade in her hand, not sure if it was a seal or something else.

As the old woman spoke, the wrinkles on her face seemed to come alive, each with its own posture.

"It was the girl who said that day that it would be enough to just scare people. Didn't the things the old woman gave you scare people?"

"You're still quibbling. The things you gave them were immediately known to be fake. The materials used to make the cursed dolls are simply not right!"

Zhao Huaqin became even angrier.

"You have to understand, I was the one who saved you when you were in trouble that day, and later I gave you a large sum of money, and you actually used fake things to fool me!"

"You saved my life, so I have to repay you."

Suddenly, a startling light flashed in the old woman's eyes.

"You can't afford to bear the consequences, so stop it! Because I've kept something back, the people you deal with today will definitely show mercy and won't harm your life tomorrow."

After the old woman finished speaking, she seemed to glance at the place where Zhao Huayin was standing twice, intentionally or unintentionally, and then she stared at Zhao Huaqin.

Zhao Huaqin was so frightened by the old woman's sudden appearance that she froze in place. After a long while, she stammered and said,

"How do you know me and who I'm going to deal with? If you already know that I hurt her, how can you let me go? You are talking nonsense!"

"Most things in this world cannot escape the words of cause and effect."

After the old woman said this, she closed her eyes again and said no more.

Zhao Huayin and Qingshuang looked at each other, and then they left the yard together.

Back in the carriage, Zhao Huayin stopped Qingshuang's suggestion to go back to the mansion directly. Liuyun and Dianxue saw that Zhao Huayin was in a bad mood, so they were very cautious.

"Girl, aren't we going back home?"

Dianxue asked.

"Let's not go back yet. Let's wait here for Huaqin to come out."

"Miss Qin?"

Liuyun and Dianxue didn't go in to see just now, but they didn't expect that Zhao Huaqin really came here.

Zhao Huayin nodded.

The old woman’s words just now made Zhao Huayin feel much clearer.

There is a cause for every effect, that's exactly it.

Zhao Huayin wanted to ask Zhao Huaqin clearly why they had been hostile to each other all along.

Why would he go to so much trouble to set up a curse and destroy Zhao Huayin?

Zhao Huayin sat in the car and waited for another cup of tea before she saw Zhao Huaqin's maid helping her out.

When Zhao Huaqin saw the extra carriage, she was stunned for a moment, then she saw Qingshuang standing in front of the carriage and realized that the person sitting in the carriage was Zhao Huayin.

Thinking that Zhao Huayin must have come here to wait for her today, Zhao Huaqin no longer hesitated and strode forward.

"Are you here to look for me, sister?"

Zhao Huaqin asked directly.

Zhao Huayin lifted the car curtain, stared at Zhao Huaqin for a few seconds, and then said to Zhao Huaqin,

"I came to look for you. You seem surprised."

"I didn't expect to see my sister here. Now that we are here, let's go back together."

Zhao Huaqin calmed herself down and smiled.

"why?"

Zhao Huayin ignored Zhao Huaqin's words and asked on her own.

"Why did you say that, sister?"

Although her heart skipped a beat, Zhao Huaqin still pretended to be calm and asked.

"You know what I'm talking about."

Zhao Huayin's eyes were sharp as he stared at Zhao Huaqin.

"Since you already know, I won't pretend anymore. That's right, I was the one who found him."

Zhao Huaqin had already put away the smile on her face and answered seriously.

"I'll ask you again, why?"

Zhao Huayin asked calmly.

"Why? Of course it's for revenge!"

Zhao Huaqin completely tore off her disguise, revealing a hideous face.
