My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Ji Yunshuang rolled her eyes. "Why can't I be here? What about you? Have you gone mad from fleeing? You can't even apologize for hitting someone? All you do is babble on and on."

Ji Wanying discovered that after not seeing her for some time, her stepsister was completely different from the one she remembered.

Not only is she becoming more and more beautiful, but her tongue is also much more eloquent than before.

Just as she was about to roll up her sleeves and teach her a lesson, a voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Yingniang, who is this?"

Ji Wanying turned around and found that her husband had followed her at some point, his big eyes staring at Ji Yunshuang with a lecherous look.

When she woke up in the morning, the image of him rolling around with her maid flashed through her mind again.

Ji Wanying couldn't take it anymore and screamed, "Li Yaozong, isn't it enough that you're rolling around with the maid? Do you have to get horny every time you see a woman on the street? Are you a male dog?"

Her voice was loud, shrill, and penetrating, drawing the attention of everyone around them.

Li Yaozong glanced at Ji Yunshuang, his face flushed red, and shouted, "Ji Wanying, you shrew!"

Isn't it common for men to have multiple wives and concubines? Why are you so jealous? I was just trying to be kind and ask you a few words of concern, and you called me a male dog! Don't you have any morals? I'm going to divorce you, you shrew!

When Ji Wanying heard him say he wanted to divorce her, a flash of anger and panic crossed her face. But in front of Ji Yunshuang, she was unwilling to lower herself and say nice things to him.

She glared at Yun Shuang and said, "It's all your fault, you vixen!"

Ji Yunshuang touched her face good-naturedly and smiled, "Yes, it's all my fault, it's because I'm too pretty!"

As she spoke, she added infuriatingly, "You, just because I'm prettier than you, you've hated me since I was little."

You deliberately provoked my father, making me suffer as punishment by eating spoiled coarse grains, and forcing him to buy you cosmetics every day. You went to so much trouble, yet you're still not prettier than me? In fact, you're getting uglier and uglier!

Ji Wanying touched her face, staring at Ji Yunshuang with a mixture of anger and fear.

"Is it true that one's appearance reflects one's heart? The more wicked a person is, the uglier they are?"

Ji Yunshuang, seemingly out of kindness, reminded her, "Then, stepsister, you'd better be careful! If you don't change your wicked heart soon, you'll become as ugly as an old witch!"

After saying that, Ji Yunshuang turned around gracefully, leaving behind Ji Wanying who was so frightened and terrified that she was almost driven mad.

And then there was Li Yaozong's incredulous question, "Is that really your stepsister? Didn't you say she was ugly and morally corrupt, a disgrace to your whole family? How come she doesn't look like you described? I think she looks—"

"Looks like what? Looks like what? You've got your eye on her, haven't you? You shameless bastard."

Ji Wanying was already on the verge of collapse due to Ji Yunshuang's provocation. Li Yaozong's continued praise of Ji Yunshuang made her disregard everything else and she went berserk in the street.

Looking at her distorted face, Li Yaozong felt as if he was getting to know her for the first time today.

She said in disbelief, "Ji, was all your previous gentleness and charm just an act? You shameless woman!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and left.

Ji Wanying squatted on the ground and screamed.

After venting her anger, she panicked when she saw the various malicious glances around her and hurriedly rushed to the inn where the Ji family lived.

As soon as they arrived at the inn, she threw herself into Madam An's arms and said, "Mother, Li Yaozong said he wants to divorce me."

Madam An asked anxiously, "What happened? Tell your mother quickly! Did you get jealous again and upset your son-in-law Li? What did I tell you before? I said that men need to be coaxed, not confronted with force. If he's forceful and you're forceful too, do you think you can outmaneuver him?"

"Mother, why do you blame me for everything? It was clearly that bitch Ji Yunshuang who seduced him. If it weren't for that bitch Ji Yunshuang, how could things have turned out like this?"

Upon hearing Ji Yunshuang's name, a flash of hatred appeared in Madam An's eyes, but she quickly concealed it and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? That girl is already married. What does this have to do with her?"

"Ji Yunshuang is in Hongdu too!" Ji Wanying angrily recounted what had just happened, then said uneasily, "Mother, why is she in Hongdu too? She seems to be speaking more fluently than before today, and that hunter with her..."

Ji Wanying thought of Lu Yinheng's handsome face, upright posture, and the air of a farmer who was comparable to that of a nobleman.

Then, thinking of her own husband, who was plain-looking, with a belly as prominent as a woman five months pregnant, and a pair of lecherous eyes that seemed to linger on the faces of pretty women, she felt a surge of resentment and anger.

"It seems they arrived in Hongdu even before us. Could she have some connections we don't know about? And what about her man…?"

What she feared most was that Ji Yunshuang would find a man who was more successful than hers.

A fierce glint flashed in Madam An's eyes as she comforted her daughter, saying, "Go back first and coax your son-in-law Li properly. It's not worth arguing with him over such trivial matters. Remember what your mother said: men need to be coaxed."

As for that wretched girl, I'll send someone to find out. Don't worry, Mother won't let her surpass you."

After much comforting from Madam An, Ji Wanying finally felt relieved and returned to the inn where the Li family was staying.

On the other side, Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng's search for the person was not going well, but they ran into Wan Shitong and Gou San and a few others.

Upon seeing Ji Yunshuang, the group immediately took off running towards her.

"Big Sister!" The know-it-all hunched over, his eyes darting around, clearly not a good person, yet when he called out to Ji Yunshuang, he did so with the same devout tone a puppy would use to kowtow to its master.

Lu Yinheng frowned slightly, his eyes scanning the group of people from every angle, as if they were X-ray scanners.

The know-it-all instantly sensed a threat, hunched over, and gave Lu Yinheng a fawning smile, "Is this your brother-in-law? He's such a handsome man, a perfect match for your eldest sister!"

"Alright, stop flattering me! You're making a fool of yourself."

Ji Yunshuang beckoned to Wan Shitong, signaling him to come over, and asked, "How's the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

The all-knowing man quickly leaned over and whispered, "It's true that someone is buying a lot of girls. From what I've gathered last night, there are probably fifty or sixty families selling girls, all under ten years old. But I haven't found out exactly who bought them yet."

Although he spoke softly, Lu Yinheng was a martial artist. His words naturally reached Lu Yinheng's ears without a single mistake.

When he heard that there were indeed people buying girls in large quantities, and that sixty or seventy families had already sold girls, his eyes narrowed sharply.

The look in Ji Yunshuang's eyes became increasingly complicated.

Is it...

In her past life, she was unable to protect her daughter and did not intentionally put her daughter in that situation. She has always felt guilty about it, so after being reborn in this life, she wants to find out who those people are and avenge her daughter.

but……

Her personality was quite different from what he knew.

Even if she, like him, was reborn and had accumulated many abilities he was unaware of in her previous life, but...

Lu Yinheng couldn't understand it at all, and could only temporarily attribute it to the great trauma she suffered in her previous life, which caused her personality to change drastically.

As for how she developed these skills, Lu Yinheng could only temporarily attribute it to some extraordinary encounter that he was unaware of.
