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

Jin Wuchen nodded. "Right where the old beggar was, she was scammed three times. Xingzhu asked her why she continued to help others, and why she wasn't afraid of being scammed again."

"She said there would definitely be scammers, but there would also definitely be genuinely kind people. And as she said, there are indeed people who truly need help, like this poor old beggar."

Looking at the old beggar, Feng Wu felt that he was not the kind of person who would easily sell his dignity, which made him even more unhappy when he saw He Qiuyuan humiliating him.

Jin Wuchen told him, "His son was conscripted to build a dam, and they said he made a mistake and was going to be imprisoned for several years. His fate is unknown. His daughter-in-law died early, and he only has a grandson who needs to take medicine all year round to depend on him."

"He used to be a peddler, bartering goods. He lived a life of poverty but had some integrity. However, some people were afraid that he would say something about his son while going from house to house, so they cut off his livelihood."

"He tried many methods, but they were all maliciously sabotaged. If he weren't so old, desperate for his grandson, and trying to save money to reduce his son's sentence, he would have no choice but to swallow his pride and beg."

Before Chu Luo disappeared, she came here and gave him some silver. He never accepted more than his share, and he even saved up some eggs to give to Chu Luo.

Feng Wu sensed something was off about his words: "How do you know so much about this old beggar?"

Jin Wuchen's eyes darkened, and he said, "To prevent her from truly being wasted, I had Hu Li deal with all the beggars in this area."

"Why don't you just help this old beggar?" Feng Wu asked.

Jin Wuchen rolled his eyes at him. "That's why there are so many people who need help, because someone has failed at their job."

"Think before you say that. Not everyone has the kind heart of my wife, always cleaning up other people's messes."

Feng Wu immediately felt ashamed. "Indeed, we didn't do a good enough job."

I wasn't talking about you.

Jin Wuchen knew that Feng Wu was different from others; he had been working very hard on some things.

“I have had a responsibility since the time I was born,” Feng Wu said sincerely.

"Don't say that to me. Your shoulders aren't that wide."

Feng Wu felt a warmth in his heart and smiled, his eyes narrowing. "I still have you guys, don't I? We're brothers, aren't we? I thought you were being bewitched by this person who looked like Chu Luo and was using some kind of substitute, but I'm relieved now."

"She's not worthy of being compared to Chu Luo; she's just a poor imitation."

"That's true, but the fact that she was able to find out your identity and know Chu Luo's usual attire suggests there might be something fishy about her."

Feng Wu reminded him, but he knew that Jin Wuchen should be very clear about it. He was quick-witted and his judgment was unlikely to be affected by emotions.

"I'll go first, and I'll definitely give those people like the old beggar an explanation."

Feng Wu secretly sneaked into the residence of the top scholar Xu Ruoling with his belongings.

If Xu Ruoling and Feng Wu can get to the bottom of this, it will be enough to give the Regent's right-hand men a hard time.

As for who revealed his affair with Chu Luo, Chu Luo is currently missing and cannot be harmed, so there is no rush to deal with it. It is better to wait for a more suitable opportunity to wipe them all out.

On the day of Laba Festival, Shen Wei arrived in Sensha with a lot of supplies.

Sensha was warm, and the group of them took off their thick winter clothes because of the heat.

He saw Chu Luo in the already green fields, where many people were working in a flat field.

The field was divided into several large sections, and it looked like different things were planted there.

Upon closer inspection, Chu Luo saw that what was in front of her was wheat. The climate in this place was unique, and after water was drawn out of the forest, the crops grew faster than in other places.

"Mr. Shen, you've arrived?" Chu Luo greeted them warmly.

Shen Wei hesitated for a moment before walking over.

"Young Master" Shen Wei looked at her.

Seeing that Shen Wei wasn't surprised to see her true face, it seemed he had already guessed who she was.

Chu Luo looked at him with great pleasure. "Mr. Shen, you've come all this way, it must have been a long and tiring journey. Thank you for your hard work."

“How could it be hard? It’s just that you don’t need to disguise yourself, young master. It’s dangerous.” Shen Wei looked at her with concern.

He hoped that Chu Luo would be somewhat wary of everyone.

"Some people told me that distrust is also a form of harm, especially to those close to you. Mr. Shen treated me with his life; I should have shown him my true colors long ago."

Chu Luo spoke sincerely.

"Young master, this is a small matter. Disguise can protect you, and the fewer people who know who you really are, the better."

Shen Wei knew he wasn't capable of protecting her yet, so he only hoped she could remain hidden among the crowd, and that one day, the young master would appear openly and honestly.

Chu Luo disguised herself because she always felt alone and didn't want to get involved in the karma. She resisted having them share the burden with her.

Furthermore, she is not a strong person at all. If she doesn't hide and bide her time, she will not only be unable to protect herself, but also unable to protect those around her.

However, no matter how she tried to push them away, Mr. Shen was still willing to risk everything for her at the Fei residence and in many places she didn't know.

The elders who helped her establish the Siyuan Grain Shop, as well as Uncle Shi and others, have always been by her side.

Dongfang Mingyue, who treated her as a confidante despite her status, the Taoist priests on Wangchen Mountain, the senior in the painting, and Shu Tong, who traveled thousands of miles to save her life and agreed to all the black witch doctor's demands.

……

She has gained so much along the way, and she is grateful for it, which gives her confidence.

Furthermore, she is no longer the person who could be bullied without any power to fight back.

During this time, the black witch doctor taught her some seductive songs in exchange for various foods.

With her talent for playing the pipa, she can now resist manipulating many people, but not for good.

"Mr. Shen, how did you guess who I am?" Chu Luo was still a little curious.

"When I was rescuing Young Master Fei, I mentioned that you had told me about that method before, and I found it a bit strange that you could describe it so accurately."

"Later, Young Master Fei went through many twists and turns to send over a prescription for treating his heart ailment, along with two extremely rare ingredients. At first, I didn't know what they meant, but I heard it was at the request of the young mistress of the Jin family."

"But what I found out is that Chu Luo, the young mistress of the Jin family, is not in Jiangzhou, and the time she went missing coincides with the time I couldn't contact the young master."

"Young Master never told me that you had met Young Master Fei, nor did you mention meeting the divine physician from overseas, yet that medicine was clearly much more advanced than the one you asked me to develop, and its effects were far superior to the previous one."

"You haven't asked me to make medicine for a while; someone else must have done it."

"After some deduction, I concluded that the young master would not easily tell others the details of his dream, so I guessed that you are Chu Luo."

After listening, Chu Luo realized that Fei Zhiyou's actions had exposed her identity.

But they soon realized something was wrong.

Fei Zhiyou was ill and unconscious at the time, and knew little about her relationship with Shen Wei. So how could she know that Shen Wei was able to find her?

She did tell Jin Wuchen that she was a friend of Shen Wei'en.

Jin Wuchen harbored a deep grudge against her as a friend...
