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

"what happened?"

Everyone was waiting for Tian'er's explanation.

Having seen countless treasures, Fei Zhiyou was certain that none of these jade pendants were defective; they must have been made from the same piece of jade by the same craftsman.

"The Qiu family used to own a jade mine and made their fortune in the jade processing business. I was found by one of the Qiu family's workers and have been helping out in the shop since I was a child, so I'm very familiar with these things."

"I was still quite young then. I was playing with stones on the riverbank in front of the mine. I found a big stone and struggled to carry it back. Everyone in the shop said I was silly for picking up a broken stone and carrying it back like it was a treasure."

"My master, Aku, who found this stone, originally intended to use it to teach me how to distinguish between jade and stone, and how to open a stone to see jade. But when he opened it, there was a piece of jade of quite good quality inside, lustrous and clean."

"Because I found this jade, which no one else wanted, even Master Aku misjudged it, it became my property. Master Aku originally wanted to help me sell the jade."

“But I often loitered around the shop and knew that raw jade didn’t sell for much money. If I could make something out of it, I could earn more money. So I asked Master A-Ku to make six identical jade pendants for me.”

"After finishing his work, Master Aku spent several days carving with exceptional care. He was already a skilled carver, and with the intention of teaching me, he carved with extra care."

"After I finished making them, I noticed that people were very interested in items sold in pairs, so I took a pair to the street to sell, saying they were family heirlooms."

"Unfortunately, the first pair was encountered by Feng Shijie, who came to Taobao to look for jade."

"Back then, he was blind and deaf, and stubbornly went his own way, getting swindled out of some money. These people have plenty of money; they come here to spend it all to gain experience and knowledge, so it's not a big deal."

"My pair of jade pendants were coveted by an engaged couple, and another young man also liked them. The two sides were bidding against each other when Feng Shijie happened to see them. These jade pendants were much better than the ones he blindly bought back then."

"He insisted on buying both jade pendants. My original thought was that since I still had some, I could sell them to several people and make a profit."

"However, I lied to get a higher price, saying that this pair of jade pendants was unique, which allowed me to ask for a higher price. Feng Shijie offered ten times more than these other pieces, a price I had never even heard of before."

"That young master didn't continue bidding, but the couple in love wanted to buy the jade pendant as a token, so they wouldn't budge and even offered some money. The two sides are at an impasse. It's no longer about the money; I'm not that heartless."

"This facilitates communication between the two parties."

"Feng Shijie took the pair of jade pendants from my hand, and when none of us were paying attention, he smashed one of them to the ground, shattering it into pieces."

"And so, the couple had to give up their idea of ​​buying the jade pendant. Feng Shijie said that unique things are the most precious in the world."

"At the time, he was followed by several people dressed in black and wearing masks with distinctive purple totems on their masks. They looked like menacing people, even more frightening than the most vicious butcher in our Qiushui Town."

"I followed Feng Shijie, intending to sell other jade pendants after he left Qiushui Town, but unexpectedly I caught him sneaking away from others and then unfortunately falling into the pond."

"My young lady happened to be flying a kite in that area, so she and a young maidservant rescued him. I know my young lady; I saw her push Feng Shijie towards the shore."

"But because Feng Shijie panicked, he exhausted the young lady. When she was about to reach the shore and was about to sink because her feet got tangled in the seaweed, he pushed her hard to get her a foothold and then left her behind to go ashore alone."

"I was a child Master Aku picked up by the water. I've always been a good swimmer, and I immediately jumped into the water to save the young lady."

"After I rescued the young lady, Feng Shijie, for some unknown reason, placed the jade pendant in front of her, saying that he would definitely repay her in the future, and then hurriedly left."

Qiu Shuixin was taken aback. "So, it was actually my older sister who saved Feng Shijie? But why has she never mentioned this, nor has she ever worn that jade pendant?"

"Where is your older sister?" Chu Luo asked.

"My sister is already married and has children. She and her husband are very loving and have a happy family," Qiu Shuixin said, still somewhat incredulous.

"The young lady had someone tie a stone to the jade pendant and throw it into the depths of the pond, saying that this person was no good, very ruthless, and it was best not to have any further entanglements with him."

Sweetie remembered the young lady's words very clearly.

She didn't try to sell the unsold jade pendants, fearing that it might cause trouble if Feng Shijie and his group found out. Besides, what if Feng Shijie wanted to repay the person who owned the jade pendants someday?

Who knows how he will repay the favor? If he tries to force her into marriage, it might harm her.

The young lady truly regarded her as her savior and immediately took her into the Qiu family, letting her study and learn to read with her. They always addressed each other as sisters in private.

They also helped her and Master Aku get a new house, and Master Aku was also promoted. In short, Tian'er gained many tangible benefits from this matter.

That's why when the young lady asked her to help look after her unmarried younger sister, she agreed without hesitation and went to Qiu Shuixin's side to take care of her.

At this time, Qiu Shuixin had already fallen in love with Feng Shijie and was engaged. She was determined to marry no one but him, and Feng Shijie's sincerity moved the Qiu family.

Although she recognized Feng Shijie, seeing the affection between the two and how well Feng Shijie treated Qiu Shuixin, she simply paid more attention to Feng Shijie without saying anything.

Until she discovered that while Feng Shijie was enjoying a loving relationship with her young mistress, he was also searching everywhere for his savior and had ordered his servants to find him no matter what.

She realized there was a problem and reminded Qiu Shuixin to be careful.

No matter how she tried to persuade her, Qiu Shuixin wouldn't listen and almost kicked her out.

Later, Tian Ruer somehow found out about this and deliberately lied, claiming that she was Feng Shijie's savior.

Upon hearing this, Feng Shijie took it seriously and offered himself to repay her kindness by marrying her as his second wife.

Sweetie was truly grateful for her young mistress's decision back then. If he had known that the person who saved him was the young mistress, then the young mistress would have been in real trouble.

There are countless ways to repay a debt of gratitude, but he chose this one because he believed the best way was to give the other person the best of himself.

Qiu Shuixin had complained and made a scene, but all she got in return was repeated harassment. She still wouldn't give up and refused to agree to be his second wife, so the two of them became even more unreasonable.

The eldest daughter is now pregnant again, but the pregnancy is not going well, so she did not tell her about it.

She was well aware that even if she spoke up, Qiu Shuixin might not listen to what the young lady said, and it might even affect their sisterly relationship.

So he decided to do it himself.

Seeing that Qiu Shuixin was still not enlightened, she wanted to help her win back Feng Shijie, so she deliberately reminded Feng Shijie that recognizing someone requires a token.

Feng Shijie then became suspicious and wavered between the two sides.

"Miss always felt that Feng Shijie had been blinded by greed, and that it was because of his deep gratitude that he had become like this. She only regretted that she hadn't saved him at that time."

Qiu Shuixin said, "I went to talk to him, and he said he could tell by his intuition who his true savior was. I don't believe he would leave me because of a jade pendant."

Fei Zhiyou understood. "So Tian'er handed a jade pendant to Feng Shijie. At this moment, Feng Shijie saw the jade pendant and immediately leaned towards Tian Ru'er."

This time, it's not about marrying a second wife, but about marrying Tian Ru'er as a wife and Qiu Shuixin as a concubine, or annuling the engagement.

Tian'er said helplessly, "I thought Miss would finally give up completely this time, but she hasn't completely given up. She's unwilling to break off the engagement and has been at an impasse with those two. Feng Shijie still has some feelings for Miss and knows that Miss can't live without him, so he's been pretending to be deaf and dumb."

"I couldn't bear to watch, so I gave the young lady a jade pendant, asking her to tell Feng Shijie that she was the one who saved him. The young lady looked at the jade pendant, but she didn't want to lie."

Looking back on her past behavior from an outsider's perspective, Qiu Shuixin felt like a complete fool.

"I think it's foolish to rely on an object to confirm where your heart truly lies, and such a person is even less trustworthy."

Jin Wuchen walked in at some point and said this.
