The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2440: Good Brother (4)

"But Yang Ruxin holds a prejudice against me, so I can't get close to that courtyard... Where did the person go?" Guan Qingyue's hand trembled, yet she didn't dare to not pick it up. Her eyes would occasionally dart to the mouse on the ground, but when she looked up again, the person who was in front of her had already vanished. She hastily searched the vicinity. If it weren't for the mouse still wriggling on the ground and the bottle clutched in her hand, she might have believed she was dreaming. She couldn't help but scratch her head, her mind momentarily in disarray.

However, as the sky began to darken, faint movements seemed to stir within the forest.

Guan Qingyue swiftly spun around and hurried down the mountain. At this time of year, various insects and venomous snakes would be emerging from hibernation. Encountering them would hardly be worth the trouble.

From the shadows, Diewu observed Guan Qingyue's departure and let out a breath of relief. She had considered infiltrating the Yang Family to eliminate someone, but the courtyard was guarded by experts who would detect any approach. Until she mastered her divine abilities, she wouldn't act rashly. This turn of events with Guan Qingyue was an unexpected boon.

If she could truly poison them, she would march over there, just to witness that *bitch* slowly perish with her own eyes. She imagined it would be incredibly satisfying.

What if she failed? It wouldn't matter, as Yang Ruxin would undoubtedly be searching for someone surnamed Guan. Whether the Guan family thrived or perished was of no consequence to her. She simply didn't care.

But just as she began to feel a sense of smug satisfaction, she sensed a dangerous presence drawing near.

Diewu dared not hesitate, quickly turning tail and fleeing, inwardly cursing Yang Ruxin countless times and solidifying her resolve to see her dead. These *Martial Artists* were like persistent leeches, their pursuit relentless; no matter how well she disguised herself, she couldn't escape their notice. This was truly infuriating!

Meanwhile, Guan Qingyue bolted all the way home, her heart pounding like a war drum.

"Where have you been, girl?" Guan Tongshi eyed her daughter with a hint of irritation at her disheveled state. "You didn't even come back to help with dinner, what exactly have you been doing?"

"I'll go right now!" Guan Qingyue opened her mouth, but ultimately decided to keep her secret, turning towards the kitchen.

"Xiaoyue." Guan Tongshi, oblivious to her daughter's inner turmoil, habitually nagged, "Let me tell you, your brother is heading to Beijing in a few days, and passing the imperial examination is a foregone conclusion. In the future, our family will certainly be part of the officialdom. If you don't wish to be hastily married off now, be responsible for yourself, or your father won't permit it."

"Got it!" Guan Qingyue replied perfunctorily. What if her brother became the top scholar? Wouldn't he still try to curry favor with that *bitch* Yang Ruxin? He treats outsiders better than his own sister – why would she want a brother like that? Reflecting on this, she couldn't help but touch the bottle concealed in her arms. Hmph, once Yang Ruxin is dead, let's see how you'll continue to flatter her.

Guan Danian entered, his face clouded with displeasure.

"What's wrong with you now?" Although Guan Tongshi couldn't discern her daughter's strangeness, she immediately sensed her husband's foul mood. "Why are you only returning at this hour?"

"What else could it be?" Guan Danian shot his wife an irritated glare. "Isn't it your good brother?"

"What is it about my brother?" Guan Tongshi sounded somewhat guilty.

"He secretly sent Lingling to the Prefectural City, insisting that she accompany Qingshu to Beijing," Guan Danian took a deep breath. "Using the excuse that since she'll be joining the family in the future, she might as well go and take care of Qingshu."
