After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

After traveling for more than a month, we finally arrived in Daqi.

Upon arriving at the location, Ye Zhuxi instructed the others to search for her mother's whereabouts, while she led Miaomiao towards the Ye residence.

The Great Qi is now more prosperous than before, and the dilapidated parts of the streets have been renovated.

Miao Miao lifted the curtain and looked at the many people coming and going, her eyes full of curiosity.

In fact, the folk customs of Dazhao and Daqi are very similar, except that Dazhao has more ethnic groups and a greater variety of clothing and toys.

Ye Zhuxi led Miaomiao to the gate of the former general's mansion. Looking at the tightly closed gate, which had cracks and cobwebs due to a long period of neglect, the area where flowers and plants used to grow was now overgrown with weeds, as if a gust of wind could destroy everything.

Looking at the scene before her, her eyes stung with tears. This was the place where she grew up, and she never expected it to turn out like this when she returned.

"Mother, is Grandma inside?"

Miaomiao was dressed in fluffy clothes, wrapped up like a little rice dumpling, with her rosy little face peeking out, tilting her little head to look at her.

"Grandma will be found soon, and Miaomiao must spend a lot of time with her when that happens!" Ye Zhuxi bent down to wrap her daughter's exposed little hand and said softly.

Miao Miao squinted her round eyes and said with a grin, "Yes, yes, I will definitely stay with Grandma!"

Looking back, Ye Zhuxi always felt uneasy about her life. The people she met were either scheming or had ulterior motives. But looking at her daughter, those heartbreaking people and events seemed unimportant.

Worried that her daughter would get cold, Ye Zhuxi stayed there for a while before taking her hand and leaving.

"Don't take my things! No!"

On the way back, several beggars ran towards us and pushed a woman with a limp to the ground. The woman had disheveled hair and we couldn't see what she looked like.

Several beggars snatched the only steamed bun from her hand, and not satisfied with just taking it, they kicked the woman several times.

"You bitch, you deserve it!"

"Bah! You deserved it!"

After they finished hitting him, the group spat at him a few times in disgust.

Ye Fuyao was too scared to move after being beaten. After a long while, she slowly tried to stand up after the group left. At that moment, a woman dressed in noble and gorgeous clothes suddenly appeared in front of her.

She looked up from the woman's exquisite embroidered shoes and saw a face she would never forget, even in death.

"Ye Zhuxi, how come you're not dead!"

Ye Fuyao stared in horror, and when she realized that the person standing in front of her was alive, she shouted angrily, her face contorted with rage.

"If I weren't alive, how would I see you in this ghastly state!"

Ye Fuyao hurriedly covered her face, which was covered in wounds, but then realized that she had nothing left to hide. She lowered her hand and glared fiercely at Ye Zhuxi.

"Ye Zhuxi, you have no right to talk to me like that. The reason you can dress so smartly now is because Fu Jingyuan is supporting you behind the scenes!"

"Being with your father's killer..." At this point, she glanced at the little one behind Ye Zhuxi and curled her lips in a mocking smile: "And you even have a bastard child. Do you think Ye Zhenyu would be so angry if he knew what you did that he'd crawl out of his grave!"

"Ye Fuyao, my affairs are none of your business. You should worry about yourself!"

It's the coldest time of winter now, and as someone who has no money and no home, Ye Fuyao will either freeze to death or starve to death.

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave with Miaomiao.

Ye Fuyao scrambled to her feet and spoke fiercely.

"Ye Zhuxi, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this. Why didn't you just die?!"

Ye Zhuxi stopped and turned around to meet her coldly.

"Ye Fuyao, you chose this path yourself, you seduced Mu Zichen yourself, you stole him yourself, everything was your choice, how dare you blame me!"

"If you hadn't suppressed me since I was little, I wouldn't have become like this! You already have status, you have the love of your family, so why do you have to take other things? Even the man I like wants to marry you as his legal wife!"

"And I will always be inferior to you, picking up what you don't want, and even the person I like will require me to do anything to win them over..."

Ye Fuyao uttered the words she had been holding back for so long in one breath. Her face was contorted and twisted, and blood was dripping from her wounds. She looked like a terrifying and horrifying madman.

Ye Zhuxi couldn't understand how Ye Fuyao had the nerve to say such things. She was the child her mother had gone through so much trouble to give birth to, so naturally her father would love his own child more. Otherwise, why would he treat her, a complete stranger, like a treasure?

The jewelry he had given Ye Fuyao before was priceless, and the cosmetics were of the highest quality; there was no reason for her not to accept them.

However, Ye Fuyao, being an ungrateful wretch, probably wouldn't see these things, and she was too lazy to say anything.

"Since that's what you think, I have nothing more to say. But I have something to tell you..." Ye Zhuxi said, a smile playing on her lips, "What you and Mu Zichen did at Chengbei Temple was my doing!"

"If I had known you and Mu Zichen were having an affair behind my back, I would have drugged you with that drug that day!"

Ye Fuyao stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then suddenly roared.

"Ye Zhuxi, you bitch, I'm going to kill you!"

Ye Fuyao lunged at the mad dog, her eyes bloodshot, terrifying and vicious.

"Ye Zhuxi, go to hell!"

Just as he was about to touch Ye Zhuxi, Fu Chen rushed up from behind and chopped off her hand with his sword.

"Ahhh!"

Instantly, Ye Fuyao's heart-wrenching screams filled the air.

Ye Zhuxi covered Miao Miao's eyes and gestured to the maid beside her to take her away.

Then she turned around and saw Ye Fuyao writhing on the ground in pain, her entire hand severed off, the blood staining a large patch of snow red.

Seeing her writhing in pain, Ye Zhuxi showed no pity whatsoever.

"Don't kill her! Let her live like this, neither human nor ghost, it's more painful than killing her!"

In her past life, Ye Fuyao had harmed the Ye family so badly and pushed her into a cannibalistic cave, watching herself being torn apart and eaten piece by piece. What she was doing now was not even one ten-thousandth of what Ye Fuyao had done back then.

Besides, she brought all of this on herself. If she hadn't wanted to harm herself, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Aaaaah! Ye Zhuxi, you'll die a horrible death!"

Ye Fuyao was in so much pain that her face was pale, but she kept screaming. Her hair was disheveled and there was blood all around her, making her look like a ghost that had just crawled out of a grave.

Ye Zhuxi stopped looking at her and turned away with a firm gaze.

Ye Fuyao has now received her retribution, but Mu Zichen is still missing.

Thinking of how he had lived a prosperous life thanks to Ye Xiaoran over the past few years, gaining both fame and fortune, a ruthless glint appeared in her eyes.

"Mu Zichen, it's your turn!"
