After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

The rain came pouring down.

It rains a lot in Zhixuan Mountain in winter, and continuous heavy rain often comes suddenly, catching people off guard.

The other party kept saying that it was the elder's intention, but how could the elder not even show his face and hand over such a big matter to a teenage girl to handle it? And she was a little medicine boy who had only been in Zhixuan Mountain for a few days.

Zhuang Mengdie looked at the little medicine boy who was standing at the threshold with his hands behind his back. There was a kind of indifference and pity in the girl's eyes as she lowered her eyes, without any sadness or joy. It was as if she was a god looking down on all living things like ants, and it seemed as if it was natural for her to decide the life and death of an elder.

After dinner, Jianshu came to her and said he wanted to invite her to watch a play. Zhuang Mengdie didn't like these two people, so she naturally had no interest in the "play" they mentioned. She refused on the pretext that she was tired and wanted to go to bed. Unexpectedly, Jianshu was more straightforward than Shiyin. He would never say a word if he could take action. He would take action as soon as he disagreed with her. Her mediocre kung fu that she had practiced for many years was completely defeated by one move. When she woke up again, she was already in this secret room.

The names of these two men complement each other, but their personalities are completely different. One is sharp-tongued and can make people angry to death, but he has no skills at all; the other is taciturn and has a dull expression, but he has great skills despite being young.

What kind of aristocratic family could train such a maid? Zhuang Mengdie was not a little girl who had never left the house and had never seen the world. She looked careless, but at this moment, she couldn't help but think a little more... Nan Yin's name sounded like a pseudonym, and he was from Shengjing. Could he be a prince? If so, could it be that Nan Yin came here for his grandfather? Thinking this way, it seemed more reasonable.

After all, Yuan Ge had been dead for so long. If he was really coming for Yuan Ge, why did he come only at this time?

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, nor did she dare to ask more questions. She knew that if things were really as she thought, then this was the best outcome. She could keep her life and her reputation, but her future would be lonely and boring. In other words, it was the elegance of a free and easy life. Zhuang Mengdie said "thank you" in a low voice, and then she supported Zhuang Lichuan with difficulty and walked into the night.

The backs of the grandparents and grandchildren soon disappeared in the rain.

Jianshu stood behind Yuan Ge, his eyes fixed on the direction the grandfather and grandson left. He glanced at Yuan Ge again before asking softly, "Does the young lady really believe what the second elder said? It seems that he...didn't tell much truth."

Yuan Ge looked back at her and pulled the corner of his mouth, "He didn't tell much truth, he was mysterious and evasive. But he was right about one thing, maybe he really wanted me dead, but he didn't have the guts... As for the snake cave under the cliff, it's there, Zhuang Mengdie can see it, and so can others... Besides, I'm picking herbs on the cliff, even if there are ten or eight snake caves below, if I don't fall in, what can they do to me? In the final analysis, if they really want to use this method to harm me, there are too many variables. Zhuang Lichuan shouldn't be that stupid."

Yuan Ge slowly raised his hand and caught the drizzle that came with the wind. After a while, he sighed softly, "Maybe, it was really just an accident, an accident made up of so many coincidences."

Zhuang Mengdie discovered the snake cave and told Zhuang Lichuan. Zhuang Lichuan, who was devoted to business, agreed to find someone to deal with it but forgot about it as soon as he turned around. Yuan Ge, who thought he was very skilled, had never failed in collecting herbs in the mountains for all these years, but it happened that time he fell off the cliff. There happened to be no trees to climb under the cliff, and there happened to be a snake cave with poisonous snakes lurking below... Perhaps, this was really just a tragedy caused by an unintentional mistake.

A coincidence.

Often walking by the river, how can there not be wet shoes?

Jianshu disagreed. She rarely insisted on expressing her opinion. "Accidents can also be man-made. Maybe they have created countless such accidents without your knowledge, and you have avoided them before. It's just that you are not so lucky this time... After all, no one can be lucky all the time. If you were lucky enough to survive this time, you naturally wouldn't know that you had a walk in front of the gates of hell, right? Then, next time, the next time... Madam, they know your temperament and your weaknesses, so it will be much easier for them to create possible "accidents" in your life."

"You said he treated you very well, and that he was the one who stopped the Great Elder from causing you a lot of pain when you got into trouble. But how do you know that this is not his plan to help you develop a fearless character, so that you will repeatedly take risks and increase the possibility of accidents?"

Jianshu was a little uncomfortable with all these words. He paused awkwardly when seeing Yuange's look, and then said, "This is my own speculation. I crawled out of the pile of dead bodies, and I am used to the evil of human nature, deception, betrayal, sweet words and daggers. There are too many ways to kill people, and killing with a knife is the most merciful. Madam, you are different. You are open and honest, and you naturally think the same of others. But this world is originally dark, with wind and snow, and corners that are not exposed to the sun... You, you understand what I mean, right?"

The girl, who was frowning and nitpicking about words, had an expression of deep hatred and resentment on her face, but she actually had a rare bit of childishness and cuteness.

Yuan Ge nodded and chuckled, "I know what you mean. His kindness to me may be superficial, or he may have other purposes... But those 'kindness' did bring me the first kindness and warmth besides my grandfather and brother when I was young... I think he should not have had the intention to kill me at that time, no matter how sincere his protection was... The respect I gave him today is just a way to repay his kindness."

Jianshu nodded in silence. After a while, he added seriously, "The young lady is a good person."

She was a little dull and a little straightforward, and because of her seriousness she seemed even more stubborn, and there was no sign of joking at all - she really thought so and said so.

Yuan Ge turned around and closed the door of the secret room, shaking his head and chuckling, "In my life, some people said that I was a scoundrel, some said that I was insidious, and some said that I was a devil. Later, when I became Wen Qian, people said all kinds of things about me. But in these two lives, no one said that I was a good person..." Such a simple and straightforward evaluation made people feel refreshing for a moment.

"Don't children worry about good guys and bad guys?"

The heavy door slowly closed due to the mechanism, and Jianshu reiterated frankly, "I am not entangled, you are a good person."
