The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"Take the body away. This Prime Minister wants to check it out personally." Fourth Brother Xue's face was slightly cold. Before he left, he glanced at Zhao Yuxuan with a warning and threat in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "If the body is Xue Jinhua, then you'll be on your own."

Zhao Yuxuan was shocked, his body trembled slightly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He stared blankly at the corpse on the ground with his eyes wide open, his mind in a mess.

He couldn't accept what was happening before his eyes, and his heart was filled with confusion and fear.

"No...impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Zhao Yuxuan murmured to himself, his voice revealing despair and helplessness.

He couldn't believe that Xue Jinhua had died like this. He hadn't even gotten her dowry yet. Even if she wanted to die, she had to wait until he got her dowry...

The Xue family will definitely not let him off easily in this matter, as he knows the Xue family's power and background.

Not only that, the bright future that the Xue family once promised him has now vanished, and he has lost all hope.

Zhao Yuxuan was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot and his chest heaved violently like an angry beast. He stared at Zhao Yuting fiercely with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, he pounced on Zhao Yuting and grabbed her neck tightly with both hands.

"Uncle, what are you doing? Stop it!" Xin Tao shouted in horror, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Zhao Yuxuan, trying to stop his impulsive behavior.

"If the young aunt dies, who will bear the crime of killing the eldest lady?" Xin Tao reminded anxiously, hoping to calm Zhao Yuxuan down.

Zhao Yuxuan also paused for a moment, yes...

.........

In the direction of the imperial city, a man in black brocade clothes stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, as if he was about to blend into the surrounding darkness. His figure was tall and majestic, which made people feel fearful.

"Master, the mission failed. She jumped off the cliff. I deserve to die. Please punish me, Master." The man in black knelt on the ground and said with his head down.

The wind gently lifted the corner of the man's clothes, and a huge dark moon hung behind him, like a mysterious round disk.

He stared quietly into the distance, as if thinking about something.

"Her star is still bright, which means she is not dead." The man's voice was low and deep, with a hint of hoarseness.

The man in black was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Then I will send someone to track down her whereabouts immediately."

The man remained silent. He stared at a faint light in the darkness. The faint light seemed like a gust of wind or a cloud of mist, slowly moving towards the bright star and gradually blocking part of the starlight.

The man counted with his fingers, his eyes fixed on the direction of Nanling, his brows slightly furrowed, a solemn look on his face.

At the same time, in the direction of the Kyoto Imperial City, the originally dark night was broken by a sharp and piercing scream. This scream pierced the quiet night sky and made people shudder.

"The fire broke out, the fire broke out..."

When Zhao Yuhang heard the voice, he was instantly awakened from his sleep. He quickly got up, his movements were so quick and neat that he even startled Jiang who was sleeping beside him.

Jiang opened her eyes dazedly and saw Zhao Yuhang preparing to go out. She quickly grabbed him and asked, "Husband, what happened?"

Zhao Yuhang replied solemnly: "Madam, it seems that the ancestral hall is on fire. I have to go over and check out the situation." After that, he hurriedly left the room.

Jiang looked at Zhao Yuhang's departing back and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

However, her face remained calm, without showing too much emotional fluctuation.

"Husband, you must be careful." Jiang warned softly.

After Zhao Yuhang left, Jiang's personal maid walked in cautiously and reported to Jiang that everything had been done according to her instructions and no one would be left alive in the Buddhist temple.

After hearing what the maid said, a cold light flashed in Jiang's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

It was as if the news she had just heard was just a trivial matter and had nothing to do with her.

"Very good, well done." Jiang praised.

"But... Madam, the Second Master has gone there now. I wonder if he will find anything?" the maid asked worriedly.

She originally thought that only someone with the character of the first wife could do such a shocking and unforgivable thing as killing her mother-in-law. However, she never expected that the second wife, who seemed gentle, dignified, well-educated and reasonable on weekdays, was actually the most vicious person.

"Don't worry, he won't be suspicious." Jiang said firmly, "Even if he has doubts, he will pretend not to know for the sake of his children and his future."

Jiang stared at the blazing fire outside the window, his heart filled with resentment.

If Wang had not been so greedy that she brought harm to her descendants, how could she have been forced into such a desperate situation?

She had no regrets at all for killing Wang in the chaos, because she deserved to die!

.........

Huangshan Temple is a royal temple and has always been highly respected. However, it now suffered a major incident like a fire. The news spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout the capital.

This incident naturally alarmed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"I heard that the fire was deliberately set by Aunt Zhao?" The prince asked with a cold and expressionless face.

Fourth Brother Xue answered respectfully: "Indeed, when Zhao Yuxuan went to the room, he saw Aunt Zhao holding a fire stick."

"Now that we have solid evidence, let the Duke of Zhenguo give an explanation. I will go back to the palace first and report this to my father."

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, Third Brother Xue hurried over and asked anxiously, "Fourth Brother, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean?"

"His opinion is not important. Let's ask big brother for his opinion first. If my sister really dies, I'm afraid... you and I will both die." Fourth Brother Xue said worriedly, "As for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, send someone to explain the matter clearly. Remember... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that we should try not to make a big deal out of this matter. If necessary, we can push the blame on the Zhao family."

Third Brother Xue's face became serious, "But fourth brother, behind the Zhao family... after all, there is the Jiang family."

"The Jiang family has already received the news. Do you think they are not prepared?"

Third Brother Xue was relieved, "Fourth Brother, don't worry, leave this matter to me."

.........

When Xue Jinhua regained consciousness, the first thing she felt was the softness on her lips.

When she fully woke up, she found herself in a narrow space.

"Are you awake?" A deep and magnetic male voice came.

Only then did Xue Jinhua realize that there were people sitting next to her, or to be precise, two people.

One of them is the Master of Heavenly Dao, and the other is a man wearing a mask.

"Madam, you finally woke up!" Master Tiandao's concerned words did not cause much emotional fluctuation in Xue Jinhua.

Instead, she quickly reviewed everything that had happened in her mind and quickly figured out the whole story.

She jumped off the cliff, but fortunately, she was rescued in time by Master Tiandao.

"Master Tiandao, thank you." Xue Jinhua said sincerely.

However, Master Tiandao smiled and shook his head: "Madam, you don't have to be so polite. This time we were able to arrive in time and save you, thanks to Second Master. If he hadn't guessed that you might change your route, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to reach the Cold Pond at the critical moment."

"Time is running out. Now is not the time to talk about these things." The man's deep voice sounded.

Only then did Xue Jinhua notice that the man with whom she had just had physical contact... was actually wearing a mask on his face.

Although only the upper half of the face was covered, Xue Jinhua's heart began to heat up just by looking at those thin lips.

Her cheeks also turned red unconsciously.

After all, in her two lifetimes, this was the first time she had been so intimate with a man.

"You just came out of the cold pond. You are weak and cold, so you may catch a cold easily. Put on this cloak first and follow Master Tiandao south... When the time is right, I will naturally join you."

As the man finished speaking, a cloak exuding a unique fragrance mixed with his scent instantly fell on Xue Jinhua's body.

That feeling is like being held tightly in someone's arms.

She was already feeling a little dry in the mouth, and now her complexion became even more rosy.
