The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

"It's none of my business. I was just recognized by the Marquis' Mansion. I don't know what the Marquis' Mansion and the First Prince did."

She had been wandering around for so many years and suffered so much, and now she was thrown into jail with the people from the Marquis' Mansion just after she was found. Why?

She hasn't enjoyed much of the blessings, so why should she have to share in the suffering!

Zhang Junyao remained silent beside her, sighing and shaking his head, clearly agreeing with her. There were some things he couldn't say, and distancing himself from her at this moment would seem unkind. It was fitting that Xin Guiyue spoke through his lips.

The expressions of the other people in the Marquis' Mansion were very unhappy, including the eldest prince. His good-natured face no longer had his usual smile, but was stern and gloomy.

He accepted the fact that he was one step behind in chess, but he would never allow a clown to jump in front of him.

Madam Hou was comforting the crying Xin Zhilei when she heard this and scolded her: "Things may not be hopeless. What are you arguing about?"

"You've all committed treason, how can there be any hope of recovery?"

Xin Guiyue shouted at the top of her lungs, but no one paid any attention to her until her voice was hoarse. The eldest prince snorted and cursed, "Idiot."

Xin Guiyue didn't understand why she had such a miserable life. It was obvious that the eldest prince was the ultimate winner in her previous life.

But she never thought that in her previous life, the prince was killed and the emperor vomited blood when he heard the news. His health was not as good as before and he had no energy to investigate those things. Her mind was full of Ji Yanli harming her and the Marquis's Mansion owed her. She only knew a general idea about what was happening in the court. She also never thought that it was she who tried every means to marry Ji Yanli in the beginning, and how innocent the Ji family was.

Seeing the eldest prince leaning against the wall without saying a word, the Marquis couldn't help but go over and ask, "Eldest Prince, do you think there's still a chance for us to turn things around?"

The eldest prince closed his eyes and ignored him, and turned over? Unless his father suddenly transferred his fatherly love for the crown prince to him, or all his brothers died, otherwise, don't even think about it.

Seeing his reaction, the Marquis felt his heart sink. He sat down on the ground dejectedly, muttering, "How could it become like this?"

His daughter had just entered the eldest prince's mansion when something happened. Even if it was a day earlier, he could find a way to distance himself from the matter.

Their trial was quickly concluded, and the eldest prince was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum for life. This was the only fatherly love the emperor had for him, and he spared his life.

As for the people in the Marquis' Mansion, all of them, regardless of gender, were exiled.

The good thing is that their lives were saved, but the bad thing is that they would live in misery from then on. Moreover, the exile journey was long, and many people died on the way.

Xin Guiyue couldn't accept this reality and cursed every day, cursing the Miao family, the people in the Marquis' Mansion, the eldest prince, and finally even Zhang Junyao was cursed by her.

After hearing a string of swear words, veins on Zhang Junyao's forehead throbbed. He was good at calculating others but not at scolding them. He still felt wronged. If Xin Guiyue had not sworn that the eldest prince was this and that, he would not have bet on the eldest prince.

Finally, the Marquis's wife slapped Xin Guiyue in the face and she fell silent. She covered her face and screamed, and was about to fight back, but was stopped by Xin Zhixuan. The Marquis's wife was completely disappointed with her, and seeing this, she slapped her again.

In just a few days, Xin Guiyue turned against the family members whom he had begged for two lifetimes. Zhang Junyao didn't care about him. He even wished that Xin Guiyue would die and asked him to quickly sever his ties with the Marquis' Mansion.

Two days later, the jailer opened the cell door, put heavy shackles on them, and dragged them all out.

The eldest prince got on a simple carriage, and the people from the marquis' mansion were dragged directly out of the city.

"Let me go. I didn't participate in the rebellion. I want a divorce now. I'm going to divorce this woman right away!"

Zhang Junyao finally couldn't hold it in any longer and cried out. He had thought that marrying into the Marquis's mansion would bring him wealth and glory, but it turned out to be nothing but an illusion and a butcher's knife that would take his life.

He kicked Xin Guiyue several times and said, "It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could I have been implicated? Go to hell!"

The other people in the Marquis' Mansion watched indifferently as Xin Guiyue was beaten and kicked by Zhang Junyao. It was not until the soldier guarding them whipped Zhang Junyao that they calmed down.

"You idiot! A jinx! The mansion was fine before you came back, and I was fine before I married you. But look, after the mansion took you back, something bad happened, and I was implicated. I'd say you're a disaster!"

Xin Guiyue widened her eyes in disbelief. The way Zhang Junyao angrily scolded and accused her was so different from the gentle young man she had always liked in her heart, which made her stunned for a moment.

"Hurry up and get on the road. If anyone wastes time, don't blame me for being angry."

The soldier on horseback cracked his whip, and everyone lowered their heads and began to hurry on. Zhang Junyao was a little beside Xin Guiyue, and whenever he was tired, thirsty, or hungry, he would take his anger out on Xin Guiyue, but the people in the Marquis' Mansion pretended not to see it.

After being scolded by Xin Guiyue for several days, everyone was angry with her, and seeing her being beaten was just a pleasure.

After being beaten several times, Xin Guiyue started to fight back. Needless to say, Zhang Junyao was only devoted to reading books of sages, and he was not as strong as Xin Guiyue. Later, Xin Guiyue directly used shackles to press him on the body and beat him, which made the officers and soldiers laugh so hard.

After walking through several towns, the people in the marquis's mansion could no longer hold on. The officers and soldiers could still ride horses, but they had to walk. Their shoes were worn out and their toes touched the ground, and blisters soon formed.

After the front of one of Xin Guiyue's shoes was completely torn and her toes were exposed, she sat on the ground and refused to move.

Zhang Junyao had already moved far away from her. No one around her liked to be close to her, and the whip came at her almost as soon as she sat down.

"You want to die? Go away!"

"I won't leave! Beat me to death, beat me to death!"

The officers and soldiers whipped her several times, making her scream and wail, but she just didn't want to get up. If she continued like this, she would be exhausted and die of pain sooner or later. It didn't matter anyway.

Finally, the Marquis’ wife couldn’t bear it any longer and came over to help her up: “Let’s go quickly. It will be easier when we get to the place of exile.”

The officers and soldiers snorted and laughed: "What a deep mother-son love! If you hadn't insisted on causing trouble for Master Ji, how would His Majesty have noticed your little tricks? What else can you do about it?"

Madam Hou was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning. "You, what did you say?"

An intriguing smile appeared on the corners of the officers' mouths. "Master Ji, on the day your property was confiscated and you were thrown into prison, the emperor personally appointed Master Ji as the top scholar and directly entered the cabinet."

Xin Guiyue stopped frantically asking, "Which Lord Ji?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's Master Ji Yanli."

Xin Guiyue's expression was frozen. "How could it be? He didn't even take the imperial examination. He's just a idiot. How could he be the top scorer? How could it be..."

The Marquis's wife could no longer bear it and slapped him again.

This time, even the Marquis couldn't help himself and pointed at the mother and daughter, cursing, "It's all because of you two unlucky people! You had to kill someone when they were fine! Now look what's happened, your whole family is doomed!"

All the puzzles suddenly became clear. Why did the assassins who were sent out disappear? It seems they were all arrested. Also, why didn't there appear to be a top scorer in this year's palace examination? Because the top scorer had already been selected. Ji Yanli must have been sent by the emperor to do something, otherwise why would he suddenly disappear?

"You, you rebellious girl!"

The Marquis fell down holding his chest.
