I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Yu Donglei couldn't believe that her family's strongest guard had been killed in an instant, as easily as cutting melons and vegetables!

She was so frightened that she trembled all over, her lips quivered uncontrollably, and her face was deathly pale.

"Pfft!"

His body involuntarily went limp and he sat down on the ground.

"No, no, this is absolutely impossible! Who are you? Why do you have such strong guards? Who are you?!"

Roars, anger, shouts.

Ultimately, no answer was received.

Pei Yan ignored the other person and walked straight towards the direction where the maid had run away.

He didn't have time to argue with him; the most important thing right now was to save the maid before she was about to be killed by the guard.

His intuition told him that the maid definitely knew some secret, and that secret was probably about his wife.

……

Fang Xiaoxiao lay prostrate on the spot, not daring to breathe.

She witnessed firsthand the strength of Pei Yan's subordinates. Not only did they look fierce, but their methods were also incredibly skillful, completely overturning all her previous understanding of Pei Yan.

Thinking back on it more carefully, if she hadn't had the ability to detoxify herself when the other party tried to kill her, she would have died tragically in the Northwest.

Moreover, there was what happened last time when they were in the grove.

It seems I need to stay away from him; otherwise, I never know when that madman might try to kill me again.

Fang Xiao buried her head completely in the haystack in front of her, as if she hadn't seen anything at all.

However, God did not fulfill people's wishes.

She heard a rustling sound beside her ear.

Immediately afterwards, a woman screamed.

The sound startled all the birds and beasts in the surrounding area, causing them to take flight.

Xiaoman sat on the ground, her hands constantly trying to climb back up.

She looked at the man in front of her, who was gripping a gleaming long knife tightly in his hand, a strange smile playing on his lips.

The man sneered and mocked the woman before him, who looked like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Don't be afraid, I'll do it quickly, you won't feel any pain at all. Just stay where you are and don't go any further."

"No, no, please let me go. I'll give you anything you want."

As Xiaoman spoke, she backed away.

The man held up his finger and shook it.

"One hundred taels, can you afford that?"

"Tsk tsk, if you were pretty, I might spare your life for now, but unfortunately, you're just too ugly to look at!"

"..."

Xiaoman wanted to curse, but she had no choice but to accept this cruel reality.

Yes, ugly people have no right to live in this world.

Despair gradually filled her eyes; perhaps her parents had made a mistake by giving birth to her.

She didn't move back an inch, her body stiffened, and she stood still, waiting for death to come.

The man continued to shake his fingers, making "hehehe" sounds.

Unbeknownst to them, behind them, Fang Xiaoxiao had her head buried deep in the haystack.

At that moment, she kept muttering, "You can't see me, you can't see me."

Just now, the maid was only two or three steps away. If she had retreated any further, I would have definitely been exposed.

Fortunately, the other party did not move an inch further.

However, in this way, she herself cannot move at all, otherwise she will definitely be noticed.

What should I do?

Fang Xiaoxiao questioned herself in her heart.

Just then, a cry of pain suddenly rang out.

Looking up, one could see Pei Yan holding a long sword in front of him, with blood dripping from it.

The blood on the grass added an eerie touch.

Pei Yan squatted down and grabbed the man with the missing arm in front of him with one hand.

"I hate people like you. Not only are you ugly, but you also talk very arrogantly."

"Sir, sir, please spare me! I was just following orders to make a living!"

The man was like a frightened quail, his whole body radiating fear. Because his arm had been severed and was bleeding profusely, he began to feel dizzy due to the massive blood loss.

Pei Yan seemed not to notice, and continued to shake the man, causing the bleeding from his severed arm to increase.

Russian qing.

The man rolled his eyes and died in agony.

"Useless, died so quickly."

Pei Yan then turned around and looked at the woman who was already terrified.

He was handsome, but at this moment he looked no different from a demon from hell, his eyes scrutinizing as he questioned.

"Do you know why your young lady hates my wife so much?"

"Ah, ah, I know, I know!"

Fang Xiaoxiao, seeing that the matter was resolved, was about to get up when she heard this news. She decided to remain lying on the ground and listen to what was said first.

Xiao Man glanced tremblingly at the three people around her, took a deep breath, and then recounted the whole story.

"Our young lady is actually quite pitiful. She knew the son of the village chief next door and secretly fell in love with him, but Fang Xiaoxiao's appearance shattered her beautiful fantasy."

"The man not only rejected the young lady's kindness, but also openly stated in front of her that he liked Fang Xiaoxiao. After being rejected, the young lady lost her appetite and grew increasingly thin. Until one day, Fang Xiaoxiao invited the young lady to go for a walk by the river. On that day, for some reason, the young lady picked up a wooden stick from the ground and hit him hard on the back of the head..."

So that's how it is. No wonder when I was first reborn, my first fear was of Yu Donglei. She was almost frantically saying things like "impossible, absolutely impossible."

Thinking about it this way, everything that happened before makes sense.

Fang Xiaoxiao lay on the grass, recalling the bits and pieces of the past.

She wasn't a particularly vengeful person, but if someone tried to kill her repeatedly, she couldn't forgive them easily.

"Ah~~"

At this moment, Pei Yan and the others heard a cry of surprise and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a woman with straw tied to her head, her face covered in mud, and her body filthy, jumping up and shouting.

"Snake, snake! Run, run!"

Before anyone could react, Fang Xiaoxiao took the lead and sprinted forward.

“Uh~~”

Xiao Man's eyes widened instantly, white foam spilled from the corner of her mouth, and she collapsed to the ground, convulsing continuously, her expression showing extreme pain and discomfort.

A burly man stabbed a green snake in the neck, pinning it to the spot.

The venomous snake twisted its body, trying to break free of its restraints, but before it could move even half an inch, it stopped moving and appeared to be dead.

"Young master, she's dead!"

The burly man squatted in front of the woman, checked her breath, and then stood up to report to his young master.

Pei Yan gave a soft hum, without any change in expression. Instead, he turned to look at his wife, who was trying to escape, and said softly.

"The snake is dead. Don't run anymore. If there are more snakes ahead, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you!"

"Gah..."

Fang Xiaoxiao, who was sprinting towards the bamboo forest ahead at a hundred-meter speed, involuntarily braked upon hearing this.
