Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

Soon, the story of a hypocritical family was being told in all the teahouses and taverns of Jiangzhou.

This sparked heated discussions among the people.

"Is this father even human? He's rich, yet he treats his wife and daughters like servants, their treatment is worse than that of maids and servants."

"What good father wouldn't include his daughter in the family genealogy?"

"They want to use her to get benefits? How can they have the nerve?"

"His main daughter was used to pay off his debts, so he started selling his wife for personal gain."

"Even a farmer like me wouldn't do something so shameless."

"That girl is really unlucky. Her husband's family was just starting to get better, and then he and his jealous eldest daughter tricked her into coming back to be sold again."

"Why would you stay in touch with this kind of family, father and mother, even for the New Year?"

"yes"

"The husband's family came to rescue them and seek justice, only to find him torturing his wife and daughters by throwing them into a pile of snakes."

"The girl only discovered after breaking off the relationship that this scoundrel had never registered his daughter in the family genealogy."

"What's hateful is that they're crying wolf, falsely accusing their son-in-law and daughter of being unfilial."

"Don't you think this story sounds a lot like the Chu family's affairs?"

"Yes, so Miss Chu was originally given away as collateral to pay off a debt. That Chu Songyuan is a real scoundrel."

"I was puzzled at the time, why would they suddenly arrange a marriage for this second young lady?"

"If he wants to get something in return, he should trade his eldest daughter. A devil and a madwoman, isn't that a perfect match?"

"Chu Songyuan does have some brains. Using his second daughter is a marriage alliance, while sending that shrew from his family to the Jin family is making an enemy."

"That's right. If Chu Yinmei married into the family, Jin Wuchen would probably come and wipe out the entire Chu family the day after the wedding. There's no need to wait until later."

……

Chu family.

Chu Songyuan was so angry that his eyes twitched and his mouth twisted, and he almost choked on his water.

He heard some news from Madam Chu and managed to gain some sympathy.

As a result, now everyone is criticizing him. The Jin family has been suppressing his business, and now no one is buying from him anymore.

Chu Yinmei was also furious and shouted loudly. People outside called her a crazy woman and a demon.

She even said that if she married into the Jin family, Jin Wuchen would come and wipe out the entire Chu family that very day.

It must have been that bitch Chu Luo who did this.

She will never let her go, and even if it costs her everything, she will not let her get away with it.

"Mom, we can't stay here any longer. Let's go to Uncle's place. Uncle will definitely have a solution."

Madam Chu nodded; this period of time was the most terrifying time of her life.

I swear I will not rest until I avenge this humiliation.

Chu Luo had no desire to go to Qianjin Pavilion anymore, so she returned to the Jin family to wait for Jin Wuchen.

They ran into Hu Li and his subordinate Shan Xiaoyan, who had come to report some news.

"Hello, young mistress," the two greeted her.

Chu Luo recognized Hu Li at a glance; he was someone who specialized in gathering information for Jin Wuchen.

Hu Li was puzzled by Chu Luo's appearance, so he didn't rush to leave.

"Hello, Mr. Hu Li. Jin Wuchen hasn't returned yet. If you're not in a hurry, please sit down and have a cup of tea."

Chu Luo knew these people were all highly skilled, so she always treated them with great courtesy.

"Young Madam, you can just call me Hu Li," Hu Li said, sitting down.

"Fox Li, is it because the young master is back?" Chu Luo asked.

"Yes, the young master will be back soon. I came to give him some information in advance."

Hu Li knew that in order to find out information, he had to give information first.

As Chu Luo poured tea, she casually asked, "Why was he gone for so long this time? Mianjiang isn't far from here, is it?"

Before Hu Li could speak, Shan Xiaoyan interjected, "Young Master treats Young Madam so well; he even told her where they were going."

Chu Luo paused for a moment, then steadily placed the tea in front of Hu Li.

Hu Li asked with concern, "Young Madam, how is Madam Lu's mother after leaving the Chu family? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Chu Luo smiled and nodded, "It's fine."

"Young Madam can play the pipa. Did Madam Lu teach her?"

Hu Li hadn't found out before that Chu Luo could play the pipa, but now it seems that Chu Luo not only can play it, but probably plays it quite well.

Chu Luo shook her head and said, "No, I taught my mother how to pass the time."

Hu Li believed Chu Luo's words.

After all, if Madam Lu's pipa skills were superior to Chu Luo's, the Regent's men wouldn't have tricked her back into the Chu family.

He continued, "And who is the young mistress's teacher?"

"I ran away from the manor when I was a child and learned to play the pipa from a traveling musician."

"Young Madam is truly talented. Does Young Madam know that someone deliberately lured you to the Chu family that day?"

Chu Luo was taken aback. "You mean Xiao An was deliberately left to escape?"

Hu Li was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Young Madam is really kind. Didn't you ever think that it might be Xiao An who conspired with someone to trick you?"

Chu Luo shook her head. "Probably not."

"Young mistress treats people with sincerity, which is why those around you are also extremely loyal to you."

"According to our investigation, even when threatened with his mother, he would rather be beaten to death than betray you."

Chu Luo felt that the person in front of her was investigating things in far too much detail.

He went back and investigated the things she had made public again in detail.

If she hadn't been cautious and hadn't been used to disguising herself, she probably wouldn't have been able to hide anything once he started investigating.

"Young Madam, do you have a master who can teach you how to use poison?"

Since Hu Li couldn't find the answer, she asked directly.

Chu Luo smiled and asked, "Did Jin Wuchen ask you to investigate?"

Hu Li shook his head. "When we were investigating the young mistress before, we couldn't find any information about how you could use poison. We're very curious."

"Would you believe me if I told you? If not, there's no point in asking, right?" Chu Luo replied with a smile.

Hu Li smiled and said, "Young Madam is telling the truth, how could I not believe her?"

"If you believe me, why ask?"

Hu Li was surprised by Chu Luo's words and quickly explained:

"I don't disbelieve you."

Chu Luo smiled and said, "Mr. Hu Li must have always thought that I'm a strange and dangerous person."

Hu Li remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Chu Luo felt that he was actually quite honest at this moment.

"Don't be nervous, I was just joking," Chu Luo said with a smile, refilling his teacup.

"I'm interested in knowing Jin Wuchen, and I also want to know the answer to this question?"

Hu Li nodded; he thought the young master probably wanted to know.

Hu Li was someone Jin Wuchen was investigating, and now Jin Wuchen is still having people investigate her?

Given his personality, if he were bothered by it, why wouldn't he ask him himself?

Chu Luo had doubts.

But at this point, she still told Hu Li the truth: "I taught myself medicine based on books to protect myself, but it's only superficial."

Hu Li was somewhat skeptical, but he didn't want to say it out loud.

"See, I told you, but you didn't believe me," Chu Luo said calmly with a smile.

Hu Li said, "I just think that using poison is more difficult than medicine, so how can someone learn it on their own?"

"Your young master can learn anything just by watching it a few times, but I can't learn it by myself even after spending several years studying two or three kinds of poisons?"

Chu Luo asked him.

“This is different, young master…”

Fox Spirit thought, how could someone like Chu Luo possibly be possible?

"Mr. Fox Li, please don't be prejudiced against people," Chu Luo said softly.

"Why would the young mistress think I'm prejudiced against you? We've only met a few times."

Hu Li didn't know why Chu Luo said that.

Chu Luo said, "Ever since I said I wanted to get to know Lin Liangkun at Lantai Xiao Courtyard, you've been prejudiced against me."

"You look down on Lin Liangkun, and you also look down on me, who admires Lin Liangkun and wants to befriend him. Mr. Fox Li, am I right?"

Chu Luo spoke calmly and unhurriedly, as if she were telling a joke or a story.

Hu Li was startled; how could she know all this?
