"She's the benefactor of our village. I have to complete what she instructed," she reasoned with Qian Yiyun righteously.
Qian Yiyun laughed. "So you know that Sister Jiuyue is the benefactor of An Clan Village?"
"Of course." Aunt Wang nodded hurriedly.
She thought if she played along and coaxed Qian Yiyun a little, the latter would be willing to hand Zheng'er over. She wanted to have Zheng'er before An Jiuyue returned.
If An Jiuyue ever came looking for her about this, she could deny having anything to do with this.
She would have nothing to do with this if Zheng'er went missing on Qian Yiyun's watch.
"Jiuyue is the most capable person in our village now. You can go to the village and find out about this, Miss Yiyun. Everyone knows that An Jiuyue—"
"If you know that Sister Jiuyue is your benefactor, how dare you target Zheng'er? Are you not afraid of getting struck by lightning?" Qian Yiyun interrupted.
