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

The sadness in Jin Wuchen's eyes was palpable.

When Chu Luo looked at him, he got up, turned around, and walked away.

Chu Luo began to doubt herself and asked, "Was I wrong?"

Jin Wuchen stopped, but did not turn around.

He sighed almost imperceptibly, paused, and then said:

"You're right. I went to Mianjiang to kill him."

"Why?" Hearing him admit it himself, Chu Luo's heart sank to the bottom again.

But I don't understand why.

"I don't need a reason to kill. I kill when I want to. If I have to find a reason, it's that he's more important to you than I am."

After saying this, Jin Wuchen left directly.

Is what he said true?

Why was the sadness in his eyes so intense just now?

His gaze was like a brand, deeply imprinted on Chu Luo's heart.

She had some doubts, so she didn't linger and left the Jin family home to investigate further.

Moreover, she needed to confirm Shao Sheng's whereabouts and safety.

After the two left, a shadow flew out of the courtyard.

Inside the main hall of the Canal Gang, Jin Wuchen looked displeased.

Seventeen was reporting the situation from the side. He should have reported it much earlier, but the young master wanted to go home to see the young mistress first, which is why it was delayed until now.

"Young Master, Feng Zhe's men are suspicious of your presence on the banks of the Mianjiang River."

"Unable to seize the person, they resorted to underhanded tactics, spreading rumors that you were trying to kill the Young Saint."

Jin Wuchen remained silent for a long time; no wonder Chu Luo was so suspicious of him.

She might not distrust him; it's just that these people are behind it all.

Thinking about it this way, I don't feel as uncomfortable as before.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Let them spread the word."

Seventeen spoke up, "This time is different from before. The Young Saint holds a very important position in people's eyes. Acknowledging him will only create more enemies."

Jin Wuchen didn't care at all; it didn't matter.

"Should we explain to the young mistress?" Seventeen asked worriedly.

“We need to explain, but now is not the time. Let her misunderstand for now,” Jin Wuchen said calmly.

"Why?" Seventeen asked, puzzled.

The young master was clearly very happy when he returned, but when he came back, he had a frosty expression on his face and remained silent.

"This way she'll be safer. People will think they can use this to get her to use against me, so they won't touch her for the time being."

He didn't want to have any grudges against her, but compared to her safety...

He wanted her to be safe, without taking any risks whatsoever.

Outside Zhongfang Hall.

Chu Luo recalled some things, became emotionally unstable, triggered a heart attack, and fainted in front of the door.

Shen Wei performed acupuncture and fed Chu Luo medicine, and it took quite a bit of effort before her breathing finally stabilized.

Chu Luo recalled news related to the dangers of the Mianjiang River.

Shao Sheng did not die, but this injury aggravated his old ailment.

This caused him immense suffering every day, indirectly hastening his death.

From the perilous Mianjiang River incident until his death, he lived in constant agony.

In his suffering, he left behind a groundbreaking work.

Chu Luo woke up, her heart filled with sorrow and heartache.

Seeing that her mood was still off, Shen Wei immediately reminded her:

"Young master, don't think about anything anymore, otherwise your heartache will flare up again. You need to control your emotions."

Chu Luo took a deep breath, shook her head and stopped thinking about it; she couldn't afford to give up now.

Whether it is the previous life or this life.

In Chu Luo's heart, the instigators of the dangers of the Mianjiang River are all unforgivable.

"Mr. Shen, could you please investigate again who exactly carried out the assassination attempt on Shao Sheng in Mianjiang?"

"it is good"

"Young Master, it seems that Feng Zhe's people are investigating a group of people," Shen Wei told her.

Who are you investigating?

"A martial arts gang specializing in assassinations; they had been searching for a pipa master for Feng Zhe."

Fearing for his young master's safety, Shen Wei had been paying extra attention ever since he discovered that this group had been tracking the pipa master.

"But not long ago, this group suddenly disappeared without a trace, even their hideout was deserted."

"Feng Zhe can't find them; he wonders if they've found the people Feng Zhe is looking for."

Chu Luo naturally knew where this group of people had gone.

They were all wiped out by Jin Wuchen.

But she didn't expect the canal gang to be able to deal with people so cleanly in such a short time.

And they even stormed the gang and wiped them out.

"Young master, this gang specializes in assassinations. Their methods are ruthless and despicable, and even one or two of them can be extremely troublesome."

"It would be very dangerous if we hid in the shadows," Shen Wei said, fearing that his young master's identity as a member of the Hidden Mountain would be exposed.

"Don't worry, these people should all be dead," Chu Luo comforted him.

"What?" Shen Wei exclaimed in surprise.

"What kind of force could be so powerful as to wipe out such a notorious assassination gang without even a trace?"

Chu Luo didn't say who it was. She had been in the Jin family for so long, but she had never been to the Canal Gang.

The Jin family had little knowledge of the affairs of the Grand Canal Gang, which shows how cautious Jin Wuchen was in his actions.

Neither he nor his son are simple people.

The Jin family was like a birdcage to her, trapping her inside.

"Mr. Shen, could you do me one more favor?"

"Young master, please give your orders."

After giving her instructions, Chu Luo returned to the courtyard where Shu Tong was.

She was in a bad mood and didn't want to be disturbed, but she also didn't want to be alone.

After much thought, I decided that Shu Tong's place was the most suitable.

When she went in, Shu Tong was sitting on the swing, watching the sky and the wind blowing the leaves.

A scene of tranquility and peace.

She sat down next to Shu Tong, letting the swing gently rock her back, her heart aching slightly.

Chu Luo looked at the sky and said, "Shu Tong, I'm so tired."

Whether it was from illness or from various troubles, she felt very tired.

Shu Tong moved closer to her and let her lean on her shoulder.

Chu Luo leaned on her shoulder and slowly fell asleep.

As Chu Luo fell asleep, she felt a cool, refreshing force in her chest, which relieved her pain and made her feel less tired.

When Chu Luo woke up, she was feeling much better.

"I don't know if it was because you were around, but I slept very well just now," Chu Luo said, pulling Shu Tong along.

Shu Tong didn't react much, continuing to look at the sky as if nothing had happened.

"If I have the chance, I'll take you to see the world outside."

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she got up and returned to the Jin family.

Upon returning to the Jin family home, they found Xingzhu and several other people busy at work.

"What are you busy with?" Chu Luo asked, puzzled.

"The young master sent a message saying that he wants to take you to Jiangzhou for sightseeing," Xingzhu explained with a smile.

Chu Luo was a little confused. Why was she suddenly being taken out?

Xingzhu said, "I asked, and the young master said you were in a bad mood and wanted to take you out for a walk to cheer you up."

Xingzhu was unaware that Jin Wuchen had returned home and thought that her young master had come to make his wife forget about the Chu family.

"Young Madam, the young master might take us to see Ah Chou this time."

"You mean that bear?" Chu Luo still had a strong impression of that bear.

Xingzhu usually complains about Ah Chou, but at this moment her face shows undisguised joy.

"Yes, I told the young master last time that you wanted to see Ah Chou, and the young master remembered that. You might also see other animals that the young master keeps."

Xingzhu looked on expectantly, completely oblivious to the fact that Chuluo was not happy.

She is not a caged bird; she has her own principles and bottom line.

His actions will not change anything.
