After being reborn, I hugged the villainous boss tightly.

Fu Jingyuan unleashed all the resentment he had harbored for years due to Ye Zhuxi's bullying, using all his strength without holding back.

Ye Zhuxi felt that breathing had become extremely difficult; she was being choked and couldn't catch her breath.

The servants who came in were startled by Fu Jingyuan's sudden outburst and rushed forward to pull the person riding on Ye Zhuxi away.

Fortunately, Ye Zhuxi hadn't given Fu Jingyuan anything to eat during the two days she tortured him, so even though he used all his strength, he couldn't strangle Ye Zhuxi to death; he only left a strangulation mark on her neck!

After being pulled away, Ye Zhuxi breathed in the fresh air deeply, suddenly feeling as if she had survived a disaster.

She could sense that Fu Jingyuan really wanted to strangle her.

He Ye rushed in and quickly helped Ye Zhuxi up, anxiously checking her over: "Miss, are you alright?"

Ye Zhuxi had been pampered since childhood and was terrified of pain, but she still shook her head and forced out two words: "It's nothing!"

Fu Jingyuan was suppressed, but his eyes were still fixed on Ye Zhuxi, as if he regretted not strangling her to death!

Ye Zhuxi still valued her life and was afraid that he would do something else, so she ordered people to tie him up again.

Bound up, Fu Jingyuan glared warily at Ye Zhuxi. He had almost strangled her just now, and he knew that Ye Zhuxi wouldn't let him off so easily.

But Ye Zhuxi didn't do anything to him after that; she just ordered the servants to prepare food and bring it over.

Because he hadn't eaten anything nutritious for a long time, Fu Jingyuan looked extremely thin. He looked as if a gust of wind could blow him over. He had used all his strength on Ye Zhuxi just now, so he must have been driven to desperation to act so recklessly!

If this had happened in the past, Ye Zhuxi would have beaten him half to death, or starved him for days and nights!

For Fu Jingyuan, going three or four days without food was already quite normal.

Looking at his resentful eyes, Ye Zhuxi didn't even dare to look him in the eye any longer.

Why did I do such cruel and vicious things to Fu Jingyuan in my past life? Thinking about it now, I feel that I deserved my fate!

"Miss, what should we do with him next?"

Ye Zhuxi pursed her lips, thinking that Fu Jingyuan wouldn't let her off easily anytime soon.

"Settle him in here properly, and bring him some food while you're at it..."

Then, as if remembering something, she reminded everyone, "Also, without my order, no one is allowed to hit him!"

Fu Jingyuan was somewhat weak, but his eyes were unusually fierce as he coldly stared at Ye Zhuxi.

Unable to bear his resentful gaze, Ye Zhuxi lowered her eyes.

However, Fu Jingyuan's gaze was too sharp, so Ye Zhuxi had no choice but to pull He Ye away.

Before leaving, she reminded him again not to hurt Fu Jingyuan, and even more so not to touch him.

Only after leaving Fu Jingyuan's sight did Ye Zhuxi slowly breathe a sigh of relief; she felt too oppressed in his presence.

In my past life, I enjoyed bullying Fu Jingyuan because I felt that his gaze was too arrogant and ruthless. It was fun to see him being humiliated. Now that I know his identity, I feel that I was courting death every single second in my past life!

Why didn't I get reborn sooner? That way I wouldn't have made so many mistakes.

The Qi Kingdom's court is currently in chaos, with ministers forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices. Even without any external sabotage, the Ye family will be walking on thin ice from now on.

But if Fu Jingyuan were to protect them, then if Zhao Kingdom were to invade later, at the very least he would spare the Ye family out of consideration for their past relationship.

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to dispel Fu Jingyuan's hatred towards him and the Ye family!

"Cousin, where have you been? I've been looking for you!"

At this moment, a soft voice brought Ye Zhuxi back to her senses.

A beautiful woman dressed in blue walked over. She had a gentle and kind smile on her delicate face, and she looked so frail that one couldn't help but feel pity for her if one looked at her for too long.

Upon seeing Ye Fuyao, Ye Zhuxi's pupils dilated. She trembled uncontrollably with anger, clenching her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

In his previous life, he was pushed into a slum by Ye Fuyao and devoured alive by hundreds of people.

Ye Fuyao is the eldest daughter of her father's cousin. Her family fell into decline and she came to rely on the Ye family. She has a gentle and delicate appearance, and the elders in the family like her very much. They often tell her to learn from her.

Her mother even wanted to find her a good family so she could marry into and live a happy life.

But behind this seemingly gentle and delicate woman lies a heart of venom.

The Mu family sided with the Third Prince, and in order to win over the Ye family, they actually turned against them. Mu Zichen claimed to like her, but he was secretly having an affair with Ye Fuyao.

She still remembers Ye Fuyao's ugly face when she boasted to her about how much Mu Zichen loved her.

"Brother Mu has always loved me. On our wedding night, he said he wouldn't touch you because he was worried about your weak health. It wasn't because he cherished you, but because he hated you. He would feel disgusted even if he touched you!"

Do you know where he went after he left your room that night?

"He came to me, and we made love all night, while you, the bride, spent the whole night alone in an empty room!"

"Hahaha, Ye Zhuxi, you've been arrogant and spoiled your whole life, yet you've lived like a fool!"

No wonder Mu Zichen, after marrying himself, then brought Ye Fuyao into the family in a grand procession with a bridal sedan chair.

She realized all this too late. She was imprisoned in the dark and gloomy basement of the Mu family mansion, with no food or water, only able to survive on the sewage below, and forced to watch Ye Fuyao and Mu Zichen show affection all day long.

Finally, when the Third Prince fell from power, the Mu family used the Ye family as a shield in order to save their own lives. They even threatened their father with their own lives to force him to commit suicide out of guilt.

But what Father didn't know was that he was already dead at that time, and he foolishly followed Mu Zichen's instructions to end his own life with a single blow.

Her father was willing to give his life for her, but the new emperor sentenced him to submit to the law in fear of punishment. The Ye family attempted to rebel but were all executed, leaving no one alive.

Ye Zhuxi can say frankly that the Ye family has never mistreated Ye Fuyao. In fact, her mother warned the servants to treat her the same way as herself so that she could live comfortably in the Ye family.

Although she was usually spoiled and unreasonable, she treated Ye Fuyao like her own older sister.

She didn't know what Ye Fuyao's heart was made of, that she could be so heartless!

Ye Zhuxi took a deep breath and said to He Ye, "I left my cloak with Fu Jingyuan, go and get it!"

"Yes!"

After He Ye left, Ye Fuyao walked up to Ye Zhuxi and was about to speak when Ye Zhuxi slapped her hard across the face.

"Pa~~"

The sound was very loud; Ye Zhuxi had used all her strength, and her hand hurt from the blow.

Ye Zhuxi shook her hands, which were covered in mahjong, and then crossed her arms and looked at Ye Fuyao.

"You actually hit me!!"

Ye Fuyao stared blankly at her swollen face, forgetting even to feign weakness, and glared fiercely at Ye Zhuxi.

Ye Zhuxi curled her lips slightly: "I am the eldest daughter of the Ye family, I can hit whoever I want!"

"you……"

Ye Fuyao's chest heaved with anger, wanting to explode but powerless to do so.

She thought fiercely to herself: Ye Zhuxi, just you wait and see, I will repay this slap tenfold!

Thinking this, her expression softened.

She reverted to her usual gentle demeanor, looking at Ye Zhuxi with a wronged expression, and said, "Little sister, I just wanted to tell you that Brother Mu is waiting for you outside the manor. You've misunderstood me..."

Ye Zhuxi scoffed: "Misunderstanding you? Then tell me, do I misunderstand that you have a heart of a snake or that you and Mu Zichen are secretly having an affair?"

Ye Fuyao's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked pitiful.

"We didn't, you have to believe me!"

Ye Zhuxi had been watching this show for years, and she was too lazy to waste words with Ye Fuyao here. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would be unable to resist strangling her, which would be pointless.

But Ye Fuyao wouldn't let her leave like that, and immediately grabbed her: "Little sister, let me explain, there's nothing between me and Brother Mu!"

After being touched by Ye Fuyao, Ye Zhuxi instantly felt terrible. As she shook off Ye Fuyao, she saw the icy lake behind her.

Suddenly a plan came to mind, and as she broke free from Ye Fuyao, she deliberately fell backward.

"Bang~~"
