Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

"Chirp—Chirp—"

When Xie Qingli and others were wondering, a strange cry came from the sky.

Xie Qingli stuck his head out of the car window and looked up at the sky, and found a big bird circling overhead. The bird was gray and black all over, with long legs and a sharp beak, and it was waving its wings. It looked a bit like a crane. Xie Qingli had never seen this kind of bird before. This was not a bird that lived in Jiazhou.

Looking back at Xiao Yan, Xie Qingli had an idea. She sat up straight, moved closer to Xiao Yan and sniffed carefully, but did not smell any special smell.

The girl suddenly approached, and a hint of fragrance entered Xiao Yan's nostrils. His face suddenly turned red, and he asked in a muffled voice: "Miss, what are you looking for? Is there something wrong with me?"

Xie Qingli pointed to the sky and said, "I guess there must be something about Sister Xiao that attracted the bird in the sky, so that group of people were able to quickly find Sister Xiao with the guidance of the bird."

She paused, frowning slightly as she spoke, "These animals are usually attracted by sound or smell. Sound is unlikely, and as for smell, I don't smell anything special. Is there anything Sister Xiao always carries with her?"

Xiao Yan suddenly understood why this group of killers could find him so quickly. This question had been bothering him for a long time. He was busy running around every day and had never paid attention to what kind of birds were flying in the sky. So that's why!

He reached out and touched his chest, where he found a protective amulet. It was obtained by his mother after she had prayed to the Buddha for seven days and seven nights during a serious illness when he was seven years old. Since wearing the amulet, he had grown up safely and smoothly, and never had another serious illness.

He always carries such a precious amulet with him and never leaves it.

Could it be that this is not a talisman, but his death warrant?

Xiao Yan reached out and gently felt around his neck, then pulled out a yellow lanyard, at the bottom of which was a small, somewhat old purse.

He opened his pouch and took out a folded yellow talisman. He said self-deprecatingly, "This is a talisman given to me by the person I trust most. To prevent it from getting lost, I always wear it close to my body. It's also the only thing I always carry with me."

Staring at the piece of talisman paper, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned. He clearly remembered that before the serious illness, his mother always showed some loneliness and alienation from the world, and was extremely distant to him and his brother.

But after he recovered from his illness, his mother took up needle and thread to sew a purse for him. Her hands, which originally only knew how to burn incense and play the piano, were pierced by the embroidery needle countless times before she was able to sew this purse.

His mother placed the amulet in her purse and told him to always carry it with him. Grateful for his mother's love for him, he followed her instructions and never let the purse leave his side.

Now he realized that what was wrapped in sweetness was not motherly love, but poison, a poison that had been given to him since he was seven years old!

Seeing that the purse looked like a men's style, and seeing that there seemed to be a glimmer of tears in "Xiao Yun's" eyes, Xie Qingli guessed that "Xiao Yun" must have been deceived by the man she liked. She gently patted the back of "Xiao Yun's" hand to comfort her.

Xiao Yan looked up at the girl with sympathy on her face. She was so beautiful and intelligent. If he could marry such a princess in the future, his life would probably be much happier!

Xie Qingli picked up the talisman paper and sniffed it carefully. There was indeed a faint smell. Some animals have a sense of smell a hundred times more sensitive than humans, so they should be able to smell this smell easily.

She nodded towards Xiao Yan and said, "This should be it. How do you plan to deal with it, Sister Xiao?"

The last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered, like a death sentence. Xiao Yan was in extreme pain. He didn't understand why his mother was so determined to kill him. Could it be that his mother chose his younger brother to clear the way for his younger brother to ascend to the throne? But he had always obeyed his mother's orders and had no thoughts about the Nanjing Kingdom. Why would his mother be so unwilling to tolerate him?

Xiao Yan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said calmly, "Burn it!"

Xie Qingli nodded gently: "This is the safest way to deal with it." She paused and added: "Those who don't know how to cherish us, it's better not to have them!"

Chunya deftly took out a small hand warmer from the carriage. Xiao Yan threw the talisman paper into the hand warmer, took out a fire starter, lit it, and threw it into the hand warmer without hesitation.

The amulet seemed to be coated with something that was extremely flammable, and a large flame instantly shot out. Xiao Yan's eyes dimmed slightly, and he threw the purse into the fire, which was gradually engulfed by the flames.

As he watched the things in the fire gradually turn into ashes, his relationship with his mother ended.

Xiao Yan raised his hand and threw the burning ashes out of the window. Just then, a gust of wind blew and blew everything away without a trace.

"Chirp, chirp!"

The big bird let out several long cries, and it seemed to have lost its direction, circling in the air.

When the carriage had gone a long way, I looked back and saw that the bird was still circling in the same place.

After running forward for a while, Uncle Ping gradually slowed down the car. After an incense stick of time, he still didn't see the group of servants catching up with him, proving that Xie Qingli's guess was correct.

Xiao Yan once again sized up Xie Qingli, arousing a deep curiosity about the woman before him. However, the situation was critical, not the time to discuss personal affairs. The most pressing priority was returning to Nanjing as soon as possible. He was unfamiliar with Dongling, and only by returning to Nanjing could he gather strength to confront his mother and save his own life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan bowed to Xie Qingli and said, "Thank you again, Miss, for saving my life. In just half a day, you've saved me twice. I would feel guilty if I couldn't repay such a favor." He paused, staring at Xie Qingli with a burning gaze, and said, "So, please tell me your name, Miss!"

Xie Qingli smiled and said, "Sister Xiao, why are you so polite? Meeting is fate. Besides, it's just a small favor. There's no need for Sister Xiao to repay you." She winked playfully and said, "If we are destined to meet again, we will naturally meet again."

Although Xiao Yan was somewhat disappointed, he was not discouraged. He believed that nothing could be impossible for one who sets his mind to it. He lowered his voice and said, "Indeed, destiny brings people together despite the distance. I believe that you and I are destined to be together."

He thought to himself that today was not a good time for him to disguise himself as a woman. The next time they met, he would not give the girl a chance to slip away.

Looking out the window, he saw that the sun was already setting. He turned around and said goodbye, "All good things must come to an end. Thank you all for your help today. I have other important things to deal with. I'll say goodbye now and see you later!" After saying that, he got off the carriage. In a moment, his figure completely disappeared in the woods by the roadside.

Chunya looked at the direction where Xiao Yan left, feeling somewhat lost. "Ms. Xiao is so pretty. She will definitely not come home immediately after going out for training. It would be great if I could meet her again next time!"

Xie Qingli tapped Chunya's cheek and teased, "I didn't expect that my Chunya likes looking at beauties. When we return to Luming County, Miss, I will take you to Baihua Tower to see enough!"

Chunya's face flushed crimson. "Baihua Tower?" "What kind of girl from a good family would go to Baihua Tower?" "The young lady is teasing her again!" She turned her head away in a huff.

Xie Qingli smiled on his face, but was sighing in his heart, "Silly Chunya, this Miss Xiao is definitely not some woman from the underworld. Judging from her demeanor, her identity must be extraordinary. It would be wisest to stay away from people like her."

Looking at Han Jue again, he was unusually silent today, which made Chun Ya, who was teased by him every day, feel a little uncomfortable. She boldly asked, "Han Jue, are you reluctant to let Miss Xiao go?"

Han Jue sneered coldly and did not answer. This idiot didn't even know he was being cheated.

Just now, when the so-called "Miss Xiao" took off the purse from her neck, he clearly saw the slight bulge on "her" neck, which looked like a man's Adam's apple. Although it was covered by the high collar, and he only saw it for a moment, he was sure that he was not mistaken.

Coupled with the familiar feeling that the man gave him, and the familiar purse, Han Jue was extremely shocked. If it was really the person he guessed, why would such a gifted child end up in such a situation?

He reached out and touched his mask. If it was really that person, how ironic was this encounter...
