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

General Wei's closest friend should be her father-in-law, Old Master Jin.

And that difficult and unruly son of his close friend was none other than Jin Wuchen.

She never imagined that the reason the Jin family married her was not to use her, but was related to the Wei family army, which she had never seen before and was located far away on the border.

What was even more unexpected was that Chief Jin was actually a close friend of General Wei. In order to repay the debt of gratitude to the Wei family, he actually made his son, who was at odds with him, marry a complete stranger.

Previously, she and Jin Wuchen had considered countless possibilities, but they never expected it to be like this.

In this way, many things that I couldn't understand before became clear.

No wonder the Chu family, who had little connection with the Canal Gang and the Jin family, was chosen.

Rumors about Jin Wuchen are flying everywhere, but Old Master Jin is no outsider. No matter how wicked his son is, he knows Jin Wuchen's appearance and martial arts skills.

Aside from his infamous reputation, given Jin Wuchen's abilities and appearance, why would he be unable to find a wife, as outsiders claim?

Even with his infamous reputation, if outsiders saw him in person, many would probably be drawn to him like moths to a flame. Why would he marry her?

No wonder they suddenly notified Jin Wuchen about such a big event as their wedding; even his absence didn't affect their marriage.

After entering the family, the old gang leader did not allow her to be included in the ancestral worship ceremony or the family genealogy. This was probably to leave her some leeway. As long as she was not included in the Jin family genealogy, she could not be considered a true daughter-in-law of the Jin family.

Jin Wuchen probably didn't know about this at first, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't care.

Given the old gang leader's control over the Jin family compound, he should know that she and Jin Wuchen were only husband and wife in name, but not in reality.

If she really wanted to use her to control Jin Wuchen, Granny Jin wouldn't have kept quiet about it.

She was very free in the Jin family, and they didn't even stop her from going on trips alone with Fei Zhiyou.

What really angered the old gang leader was that she was seriously injured in Shouyuan Village.

He thought it was Jin Wuchen who did it, and he was afraid of failing the Wei family's trust.

Also, when she and Jin Wuchen returned to their hometown for the Spring Festival, someone asked her if she knew what Jin Wuchen was going to do by taking her back to his hometown for the Spring Festival.

Chu Luo was unaware of the Jin family's rules and assumed it was just a regular New Year celebration.

But that person told her that Jin Wuchen was going to take her to the ancestral temple to be included in the family genealogy. Once she was included in the Jin family genealogy, she would become a true member of the Jin family and Jin Wuchen's wife.

Having experienced her mother's divorce from her father, she knew that only those whose names were recorded in the family genealogy could be considered true wives.

After telling her, the other party asked her if she would be willing to join Jin Wuchen in the ancestral worship ceremony and be included in the Jin family genealogy.

Chu Luo retorted, "Do I even have a choice?"

The other party said she had a choice.

Chu Luo answered "I don't want to".

After that, her departure went exceptionally smoothly.

Jin Wuchen obviously didn't know the reason for this, and he would never marry her to repay a debt of gratitude to someone for his father's sake.

Why did he take her to the ancestral temple and have her included in the Jin family genealogy?

The Jin family has a rule that a man must marry a wife but not a concubine. No member of the Jin family may take a concubine, let alone easily divorce.

The premise of this rule is that the marriages of the Jin family's children are almost entirely decided by themselves, like playing chess, where once a move is made, there's no going back.

Jin Wuchen was an exception; his marriage was arranged by the old gang leader.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have taken the initiative to have her worshipped as an ancestor and included in the family genealogy.

Chu Luo thought that someone like Jin Wuchen could have plenty of beautiful women around him if he wanted to.

She had been by his side for so long; he may have liked her, but perhaps that was all he ever liked.

She didn't try to guess whether he liked it or what kind of liking it was; she only looked at what he did and what he said.

What we say and what we do may not be true, let alone what we do and don't say anything at all.

He never had any further plans or actions.

She witnessed his probing, his scrutiny, and his concealment...

She might treat him differently, but she wasn't honest about it either.

Between two people, there are always many secrets that act as barriers, making it difficult for them to see each other clearly. In the end, they are just passersby.

Moreover, the increasingly mature Chu Luo felt that Jin Wuchen was really not like a simple gang leader.

She only hoped that he and Feng Zhe would not have any involvement...

Deep down, she always felt that Feng Zhe treated Jin Wuchen differently. In fragments of her past life's memories, Feng Zhe actually knew his other name, a name that very few people knew except for close relatives: "Jin Yuan".

Ever since the Wei family discovered her true identity, she has been worried that her other actions might also be being spied on.

Even with the help of the old gang leader's men when she left Jin Wuchen, that was Jin Wuchen. Even if he was preoccupied with his own problems, keeping an eye on her shouldn't have been too difficult for him...

But she still left so easily. How could she have left so easily back then?

I have a feeling that things aren't that simple. Why is Jin Wuchen acting this way? What exactly does he want to do?

Chu Luo couldn't figure it out, so she stopped dwelling on it.

Some answers will gradually come to her, just like the reason she married Jin Wuchen.

Now the question is, how exactly did she reveal her identity?

She had been extremely careful in everything she did; the Wei family should not have been able to discover that she was the one who delivered the letter.

She's not such a careless person.

Moreover, why is she so vague about the matter of saving the Wei family this time?

It was as if she hadn't done it, but the splitting headache and sudden blackout she had just experienced, along with some hazy memories, suggested that she had indeed done it.

Chu Luo wondered if the backlash from her multiple rebirths had aggravated her forgetting what had happened in this life.

But she did forget some things.

The Wei and Jin families did help her in the end, giving her freedom.

In this life, she wasn't sold to Jiegu, and there weren't so many ups and downs; it truly was a series of interconnected events.

Chu Luo followed Lu Xi back to camp, and Lu Xi insisted on taking her to see Wei Yan.

Upon arriving at the camp, Chu Luo was delighted to see everyone.

"Is it because of the battlefield?" Chu Luo asked Lu Xi.

Lu Xi smiled and said, "It's not just one thing, it's three things: first, we didn't lose the battlefield; second, my husband was rescued alive; and third, the Fifth Prince not only rescued people but also brought a lot of supplies."

Chu Luo had heard that the Fifth Prince had come to the border, but she had only heard about it and had not seen him.

The Fifth Prince's appearance not only rescued the trapped General Wei, but also brought a lot of supplies.

The Fifth Prince also took on a hot potato when it came to the imperial examinations, and finally selected talented people while the Regent Feng Zhe was still caught off guard.

Chu Luo had a good impression of the Fifth Prince.

Lu Xi originally intended to visit the Fifth Prince first and then see Wei Yan upon her return, but she heard that the Fifth Prince was right next to Wei Yan.

She took Chu Luo directly to where Wei Yan was receiving treatment.

Upon entering, Chu Luo saw the Fifth Prince sitting majestically in the main seat, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

The royal demeanor was indeed extraordinary.

As she approached and bowed, Chu Luo could clearly see the Fifth Prince's face.

I unconsciously slowed down a bit when I bowed.

As Chu Luo knelt and bowed, she wondered if she had seen things correctly.

The Fifth Prince in front of them looked exactly like Jin Wuchen's friend, Feng Wu.

It wouldn't be accurate to say they're exactly the same; they have the same face, but their mannerisms and personalities are completely different.

The fifth prince before me was serious and dignified, rarely smiling, and exuded an air of nobility. It was easy to overlook the fact that he had a handsome face.

But the Fifth Young Master Feng is different. He acts as he pleases, making him easier to approach, and his handsome appearance makes him easily noticeable.

It's unlikely that the Fifth Prince could have disguised himself, since General Wei and his family had seen him before.

If it were Feng Wu disguised as the Fifth Prince, it would be even more impossible. Royals don't need to use their status to intimidate others; on the contrary, it would be troublesome.

Feng Zhe wished he could kill him.

There are only two possibilities for people to look so alike: either they are twins.

Secondly, it is the same person, but the Fifth Prince is extremely good at disguising himself, which makes his temperament so different.

But judging from the actions of the person in front of her, Chu Luo was more convinced that it was the first possibility: that the Fifth Prince and Feng Wu were twins.

The Fifth Prince's imposing aura was so overwhelming that no one dared to be negligent in the slightest.

Chu Luo thought that, given Jin Wuchen's personality of investigating people thoroughly, she didn't believe he didn't know that Feng Wu was a member of the royal family.

They not only knew each other, but also called each other friends, and the other party had to give them some leeway.

How did they come to be friends? Were they really just friends without any transactions or exploitation?

Anyone who can develop a relationship with Jin Wuchen like that is probably no pushover.
