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

"Will medication work?" Chu Luo asked.

She didn't have much money left, only a few prescriptions.

The boss asked, "What kind of medicine? Regular medicine might not be effective."

Chu Luo thought for a moment and said, "A medicine that can turn a male voice into a female voice, and a female voice into a male voice, and conceal a person's voice."

After checking, the boss replied, "It should be enough to get in, but it's probably not something that's worth paying attention to."

As long as she could get in, that would be fine. Chu Luo hadn't really intended to make any deal; she was just there to watch the show.

After learning the time and place from her boss, Chu Luo quickly left.

After changing back into her original attire, Chu Luo walked along, wondering where she could gather the necessary herbs to make her voice-changing drug, as she was still short of them.

As fate would have it, not far from the Jin family's residence, she encountered Chu Yinmei, who was waiting there.

"You little bitch, I've been looking everywhere for you! The Chu family sent a letter asking you to come home, why didn't you return?"

As Chu Yinmei spoke, he was about to slap Chu Luo across the face.

Chu Luo dodged away, causing her to miss. She asked, "Why should I go back? I'm married now, not a maid you sent out."

"You ruined my marriage," Chu Yinmei accused.

Chu Luo was puzzled, wondering where the blame came from. "What marriage did I ruin? Weren't you determined to never marry into the Jin family?"

"They clearly said they would go to the Chu family to propose marriage after passing the imperial examinations, but they all ran away halfway there."

Chu Yinmei's prize, which was practically in his mouth, flew away, leaving him with nowhere to vent his frustration.

After thinking it over, she felt that Chu Luo was behind it all, and even if it wasn't her, she would still take her anger out on Chu Luo.

If she hadn't mentioned it, Chu Luo would have truly forgotten about it; it really wasn't that Chu Yinmei had wronged her.

Fearing she might cause trouble for the people, she had someone explain the situation to those who wanted to propose marriage after the scientific expedition.

Passing the imperial examinations was no easy feat, and she exposed the scam, promptly mitigating the losses for those individuals.

"What does it have to do with me? Who broke their promise and refused to marry you? Go find them!" Chu Luo didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Chu Yinmei snorted, like an old bull about to fight, "None of you can escape. I've already contacted them; now it's your turn."

Chu Luo felt a bit sorry for those scholars, wondering how they were doing now.

Chu Yinmei went to find those people. The scholars initially didn't take it seriously, but Chu Yinmei taught them all a lesson.

Chu Yinmei's tantrum and foul language were astonishing, terrifying, and unforgettable.

Chu Luo didn't want to get entangled with her, so she walked past her and was about to leave.

Chu Yinmei's massive body blocked Chu Luo's path with ease.

Seeing that Chu Luo didn't take her seriously, Chu Yinmei ripped all the jewels off Chu Luo's head.

Chu Luo glanced around, noticing the guards at the Jin family's gate, and then collapsed.

Chu Yinmei didn't know how she had fallen down, and wanted to take the opportunity to kick Chu Luo a few times.

She had just managed to lift her foot when a man in blue kicked it away.

This is the secret spot where the Jin family protects Chu Luo. Just as Xingzhu said, there is only one, and she is really not very old, about twelve or thirteen years old.

The ordeal of Chu Yinmei, who had been kicked away, was not over. The blue-clad guards walked up to Chu Yinmei and beat him mercilessly with punches and kicks.

Chu Luo could tell that while this fighting style was painful, there were probably no visible external injuries.

Chu Yinmei's maid screamed in fright, but she didn't dare to step forward. She could tell at a glance that there was only a thin bond between master and servant.

The way this person was beating her was so satisfying that Chu Luo couldn't help but exclaim how exhilarating it was; she had never beaten anyone so thoroughly before.

After the guards in blue had finished beating her, they saw the guards at the Jin family gate running over to help Chu Luo up. They then leaped over the wall and entered the Jin family courtyard.

"Young Madam, who pushed you? We'll break their hand."

As the guard spoke, his gaze turned menacingly to Chu Yinmei's maid.

The maid shook her head in fright, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me! My young mistress accidentally pushed the second young lady over!"

"Miss Chu is prone to having fits of madness. Don't let her appear around the Jin residence again. She keeps having these fits of madness; I'm afraid she'll get beaten to death."

Chu Luo looked at Chu Yinmei, who was lying on the ground grimacing in pain, and said with a gentle smile.

"Yes, young mistress."

"Chu Luo, you...you'll pay for this!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

After finishing her sentence, Chu Luo left without looking back, thinking about that little bodyguard in green robes. She wondered who had chosen him; he was just too adorable.

"Your good days are almost over. Jin Wuchen has returned to Jiangzhou. I'm waiting to see how that devilish pervert will torture you."

"Who told you to speak ill of my young master?" The Jin family guards went up and kicked Chu Yinmei.

Chu Luo noticed that she seemed very certain about the news of Jin Wuchen's return to Jiangzhou, and wondered if she had received some information.

It has been more than a month since Chu Luo got married. During this time, she was free and didn't see Jin Wuchen, so she didn't realize how fast time had passed.

Indeed, good days always pass quickly. If Chu Luo wanted to attend the grand event at Ziyuntai, she had to prepare before Jin Wuchen returned to the Jin family, and gathering herbs was urgent.

"Do you know when the young master will return?" Chu Luo asked the guards.

"I don't know, but even if the young master is in Jiangzhou, he might not return to the Jin residence. Young Madam, please don't be afraid."

The guard's understanding words almost made Chu Luo stumble.

Xingzhu had previously said that Jin Wuchen might not come home, and now the guards are saying the same thing.

It seems that everyone in the manor is afraid of Jin Wuchen. They are people who know Jin Wuchen well. Instead of comforting her, they made Chu Luo even more terrified.

"I have something to do and need to go out again."

Chu Luo turned around and left the Jin residence again. Just then, the blue-clad guards entered the Jin family, giving her more freedom of movement.

She quickly dressed in her rented courtyard, put on a straw hat, and carried a hanging basket to the riverbank.

She made sure no one was following her and quickly headed towards the river.

It was summer, and the riverbank was covered with lush aquatic plants, making the herbs difficult to find. Chu Luo followed the river downstream and finally found the shadows of those herbs.

The further down she went, the better the herbs grew; it was the first time she had ever seen such good herbs.

Chu Luo couldn't bear to part with the herbs and wanted to pick more, and before she knew it, she had followed the herbs to a strange and secluded place.

The clanging and clashing of swords jolted Chu Luo out of her focused state of gathering herbs.

Chu Luo looked in the direction of the sound and saw two groups of people fighting in an open area by the river, with several people already lying on the ground.

Chu Luo quickly hid behind a big tree and looked around carefully. The unfamiliar and secluded environment startled her, and she regretted not paying attention and unknowingly ending up in this place.

Chu Luo looked at the bamboo basket full of herbs in her hand, but it was too late to quickly return along the original route.

She had no choice but to move behind a nearby rock to hide, waiting for them to finish fighting and leave.

She didn't want to watch people kill, but she had to be constantly aware of the situation and find a chance to escape.

The war between the two sides quickly came to an end, with mangled corpses strewn across the ground, and the masked men in black had won a great victory.

Those who weren't masked were covered in wounds, huddled back to back, and refused to beg for mercy or admit defeat, which earned Chu Luo's admiration.

The masked man in black, who was in the lead, had no intention of stopping. With a flick of his sword, he severed the arm of one of the men opposite him.

Chu Luo's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this scene.

This scene reminded her of bloody images from her past life that she was reluctant to revisit.

She gritted her teeth and pinched her hands hard, trying not to make a sound.

"The Jin family of the Canal Gang is indeed ruthless. It's a pity we didn't get to witness Jin Wuchen's methods," said one of the leaders among the men whose arms had been severed.

"Be grateful. If he were here, you would have suffered a hundred times more and wouldn't have died so easily."

The masked man in black, who was in the lead, moved swiftly and ended the lives of the rest of them, leaving blood everywhere.

To them, killing people might be as easy as chopping vegetables or cutting melons.

Seeing the members of the Canal Gang kill people for the first time was like a bucket of cold water being poured over Chu Luo.

Chu Luo thought they would leave after killing the people, but a voice came towards her like a ghost.

"Come out, you can't escape."
