Old Man Qi had never before been sniped like that by a ‘fool’. He was instantly confused. He stared at Qi Qingyao, completely still.

Madam Wu was always a fierce woman. She reacted quickly, fury growing. “Qi Qingyao, what’s with this attitude? Your parents have come here to visit you, and this is how you welcome us?”

“Parents?” Qi Qingyao did not care at all. She shrugged with a big grin on her face, brows furrowing. She said casually, “Hehehe, I don’t have any! Who are you? I don’t know you people.”

Madam Liang was speechless. “Who said she wasn’t stupid anymore? What intelligent person would speak this way?” Qi Qingyao’s words were completely illogical!

Madam Tian whispered, “Can a fool fish? Can a fool come back with a man? What are you talking about?”

Old Man Qi kneaded his aching temples. He interjected, trying to put an end to this mess, “Qi Qingyao, what’s up with you? Tell us everything now.”

Qi Qingyao curled her lips tight. “You all are making so much ruckus here so early in the morning! Are you finished yet?”

Everyone was speechless.

She said that they were making a noise!

This fool!

Madam Wu took a deep breath. Her gaze was as sharp as a knife when she glared at Qi Qingyao, “You fool! If you’re not stupid anymore, let’s have a proper chat. We’ll talk everything out today once and for all.”

Mirth remained in Qi Qingyao’s eyes as she replied. “Talk everything out? Good. Let’s.”

Madam Wu stared at the girl’s face intently, as if trying to decipher her emotions. After a while, she asked, “Are you really not stupid anymore?”

“Anything you say. Thank you for your kind words.” Qi Qingyao answered with a serious tone.

Madam Wu frowned and said nothing back.

Madam Liang muttered, “She’s not stupid anymore? That’s impossible.”

Everyone else observed her with a weighty gaze.

Madam Wu thought about it for a while. “You still have the Qi surname. Let’s discuss everything honestly today and settle this.”

“Honest? What for? Do I need to give you a report about what I’ve been doing?” Qi Qingyao was relaxed as she spoke. “A few days ago, Qi Boli and his good sons tossed Qi Qingyao and her three children into a dilapidated temple thirty li away from here. Luckily Qi Qingyao was fortunate enough not to die there! I’m so sorry, I must have disappointed all of you by surviving.”

Madam Wu’s temple throbbed. She did not expect the fool to uncover everything they had planned. Hurriedly, she said before Qi Qingyao could go on, “What are you blathering about? You’re my daughter, would I really kill you?”

Old Man Qi nodded immediately in agreement.

Qi Qingyao did not listen to Madam Wu’s attempts to rid herself of any wrongdoing. She continued immediately, “Last night, Qi Yuancheng and Qi Yuanxiu, armed with knives, pried my door open, planning to kill me and my children. Hehe, but I discovered your evil ploy… sorry about that!”

She exposed everything they had carefully orchestrated, in just a few sentences.

Madam Wu almost vomited blood on the spot.

Old Man Qi looked displeased.

How did this fool know everything?

They could not admit that they did anything wrong!

Old Man Qi said furiously, “Qi Qingyao, don’t accuse us of such crimes!”

Madam Wu said, after regaining her senses, “Yes, you must have proof behind your accusations! You can’t just make something up out of thin air! Why would your father harm his own daughter? Your father took you to Bailong Temple to honor the gods. He left you there because he was afraid something might happen to you, but when he finished praying he couldn’t find you. You ran off somewhere yourself, and now you have the gall to blame everything on your father? Do you even have a heart?”

She continued, “As for last night, your brothers heard that thieves snuck into the village. They were afraid you would get hurt, so they came to take a look. They entered quietly, trying not to alert the thieves. Little did they know you would take their kindness as an act with bad motives! How could they guess you would accuse them of prying your door open and attempting to kill you! Who was it that put an ax against their own brother’s neck?”
