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

"It seems the master will no longer be able to get the young lady's help."

"You just ignore all these things and won't even let your aunt come to see you."

"For my sake, my mother would never sit idly by. Has she done something else?"

Chu Luo truly understood her mother.

"Yes, but the master feels it's a loss of face."

"They say you're disliked by your husband's family, and from now on, your life or death will be none of their concern."

"The concubine was slapped twice and locked in the woodshed."

The small safety disc is presented.

Seeing that Chu Luo remained silent, he continued, "Miss, I made arrangements beforehand. Someone came to inform me only two days after my aunt was imprisoned."

I went to see my aunt and got the letter.

"She asked me to check on you first, otherwise she wouldn't be able to eat or sleep properly."

"I'll be going back to see my mother soon. You go back and let her know you're safe. Don't worry about anything else."

If her mother weren't in the Chu family, she wouldn't be so hesitant and worried.

If the old gang leader used her mother to control her, she would definitely hesitate to act rashly.

After Xiao An left, Chu remembered that Jin Wuchen hadn't done anything.

He was unjustly branded as a wife abuser; I wonder how he will react, and I feel sorry for him.

Chu Luo asked Xingzhu, "Xingzhu, you go out every few days?"

"You knew about this rumor, right? Why didn't you tell me?"

"The old woman said that such trivial matters, if they came to your ears, would only disturb your rest."

"What about the young master?"

Xingzhu answered in her usual direct manner:

"Given my young master's reputation, which is as bad as it gets..."

"Whether one thing is done or not won't make a big difference, so why would he care?"

"However, I never expected that the news would reach the Chu family and your mother's ears."

Chu Luo realized she had overthought things, but even among her own family, Jin Wuchen's reputation didn't seem to be very good.

"If I'm not mistaken, this news didn't reach the Chu family, but rather it came from the Chu family."

Xingzhu looked incredulous: "How could the young mistress say that?"

Chu Luo had already suspected that it was her dowry maid, Caiyun, who was behind it.

She had Granny Jin send that maid to the outer courtyard.

Caiyun felt resentful, and Madam Chu and Chu Yinmei were pressing her for help.

She didn't want Chu Luo to have a good life, and she also thought that Chu Luo was really not doing well.

So he used his imagination and figured out what Madam Chu and her daughter wanted to hear.

Seeing Fei Zhiyou come day by day, I made up these things.

"Young mistress is truly clever."

Granny Jin carried in a bowl of black chicken soup.

"Please excuse my poor appearance, Granny."

Chu Luo didn't want anyone to know about the Chu family's messy affairs.

However, in the Jin family, Chu Luo's every word and action could not be kept secret.

She simply laid bare all her unsavory aspects.

"You can't choose whose family you're born into, but you can rely on your good looks."

Granny Jin was indignant about the Chu family's behavior, but she didn't dislike Chu Luo at all.

Chu Luo was right; the nanny and the others knew everything she and Xiao An had said.

"Thank you for your concern, Granny. Please don't harm Caiyun for now; I'll need her in the future."

"Don't worry, young mistress."

The next morning, Chu Luo packed her things to return to the Chu family.

When Granny Jin found out, she asked Xingzhu to bring out the luxurious clothes from the cabinet so that Chu Luo could change into them.

They also put on her the dazzling jewelry from the box.

The Jin family sent her jewelry and clothing, but she was too lazy to count them, and she felt they were too cumbersome to wear anyway.

But now, Chu Luo knows that she means well, so she obediently cooperates.

When Chu Luo left the outer courtyard, she deliberately let Caiyun see her.

When Caiyun saw her, she was not only unharmed, but also had a rosy complexion and was dressed in fine clothes.

Suddenly everything went black. What if the First Madam found out she was talking nonsense?

They certainly won't let her family members who work for the Chu family off the hook.

When Chu Luo arrived at the Chu family.

Steward Sun from the Jin family was already waiting at the Chu family's gate with his men and a lot of gifts.

Chu Luo knew that Butler Sun had just returned from running errands outside.

Before they had even rested for a few hours, they found themselves at the Chu family's residence.

Chu Luo's father stood respectfully by her side, a fake smile plastered on his face.

"My dear daughter is back!"

As soon as Chu Luo stepped off the carriage, Chu Songyuan looked her up and down and realized that Caiyun was wrong.

He immediately changed his attitude and greeted his daughter with deep affection.

Chu Luo, however, avoided him with a blank expression.

He walked up to Steward Sun and bowed to express his gratitude.

In front of everyone, Butler Sun gave her a respectful bow.

This is to give her face in public.

In Jiangzhou, Steward Sun didn't need to bow to several people.

Chu Songyuan scolded Chu Luo, "This is your own home. You could have come back alone. Why did you have Steward Sun accompany you?"

He didn't want to see anyone from the Jin family.

Chu Luo ignored him.

He couldn't afford to lose his temper, so he pretended to be a kind father.

"Don't stand at the door, come inside quickly, it's windy outside."

Chu Luo and Butler Sun entered the house.

Madam Chu and Chu Yinmei waited in the hall, eager to see just how badly Chu Luo had been beaten.

When Chu Luo appeared, radiant and dazzling.

The two looked on in shock. "How is this possible?"

"How come you're still alright? Didn't Jin Wuchen beat you to near death?"

Chu Yinmei shouted at Chu Luo.

"What are you saying, Miss Chu? Why did my young master hit his young mistress?"

Butler Sun questioned him with displeasure.

Chu Yinmei still didn't believe it. "Did you take Wei Luo Cao to cover up your injuries?"

How could someone like Jin Wuchen let Chu Luo live such a good life?

Butler Sun chuckled, "The Jin family isn't like the Chu family; if they want to kill or injure someone, they don't need to hide anything."

Butler Sun's words had a hidden meaning, which Chu Songyuan understood.

Chu Yinmei stubbornly asked, "Then why are there doctors constantly going to the Jin family's house?"

Butler Sun spoke coldly upon hearing this:

"The doctor said that the young mistress injured her health at the Chu family's residence, and the young master has asked the renowned physician, Doctor Fei, to recuperate her."

"Speaking of which, I'd like to ask, how did the Chu family manage to raise their young lady to be covered in injuries?"

"Could it be that you're dissatisfied with this marriage, or with the Jin family?"

If Chu Songyuan wanted to survive in Dazheng Jiangzhou, how could he dare to offend the Jin family?

He hurriedly replied, "No, no, she's just been weak since childhood and accidentally bumped into something."

Chu Songyuan gestured to Chu Luo with his eyes, wanting her to say something.

Chu Luo saw it, but pretended not to.

Seeing that Chu Luo remained silent, Madam Chu used her trump card: "Chu Luo, your mother is always talking about you."

Chu Luo finally spoke, "Where is my mother?"

"In the backyard"

Butler Sun stopped arguing and said, "Then young mistress should go and take a look, and while you're at it, please take these gifts to Second Madam Chu."

Chu Songyuan and his wife, Madam Chu, were taken aback.

So many gifts, all for Lu Yifu.

Moreover, Lu Yifu was a concubine.

But in the mouth of Steward Sun, she suddenly became the second wife.

Madam Chu was filled with resentment as she watched a steward act arrogantly in front of her.

But she dared not retaliate.

Neither the old leader nor the young master of the Jin family are very outspoken; most of the time, it's Steward Sun who takes the lead.

Not only did Chu Songyuan have to grovel and fawn over them, but even merchants stronger than the Chu family had to keep their tails between their legs.

And the thought of the murders committed by the Canal Gang made her even more afraid to say anything more.

Chu Yinmei was also very unhappy and wanted to go up and scratch Hua Chuluo's face.

That bitch Chu Luo is using the Jin family to bully others.

If her mother hadn't pulled her back and whispered to her to be patient...

She couldn't bear it.

Nothing lasts forever, and Jin Wuchen is definitely temporarily captivated by Chu Luo, that vixen.

Once Jin Wuchen loses interest, he will definitely torture Chu Luo to death.

She was waiting to see her tragic end.

They were angry, but dared not utter a word.

"Second Madam Chu, please take good care of us. We don't want our young master to worry all the time."

Butler Sun stopped short of making a point, indicating that the Jin family would not let things go unpunished and that the Chu family was not treating Chu Luo's mother well.

"Yes, I will definitely not let Chu Luo worry about the family," Chu Songyuan replied.

"I have some business matters to discuss with Master Chu."

"Madam, please take Chu Luo to the backyard to see her mother."

Upon hearing about the business, Chu Luo's father, looking displeased, dismissed everyone, as if he had some unspeakable secret.

Seeing them talking in private, Chu Luo's suspicions deepened.

Butler Sun is the old gang leader's man, but Chu Luo couldn't figure out what the old gang leader's intentions were.

Stepping out of the reception room, the First Madam no longer wanted to pretend.

But we can't deal with Chu Luo today.

Rolling her eyes and puffing out her cheeks, she led Chu Yinmei away.

They bullied her mother, and she wouldn't let it go.

Chu Luo walked to the well and poured a bottle of medicine into it.

She slapped her mother twice, and she made them suffer toothaches for days and lose a few more teeth.

Her medicine is completely harmless to those who drink the water.

However, if the tea that the three masters of the Chu family drink is brewed with this water, it will become harmful.

Lu Yifu didn't expect to see Chu Luo unharmed so soon.

"A-Luo, you look much better. I thought Xiao An was lying to me."

"I never thought it was true. What does your husband look like? Is he good to you?"

As Lu Yifu pulled Chu Luo to sit down, she kept asking a lot of questions.

Hearing this, Chu Luo said helplessly, "Mother, you suffered a great loss back then because you judged me by my looks, and you still haven't learned your lesson?"

When Chu Songyuan was mentioned, Lu Yifu felt a little guilty. "Oh, of course, it's best if he has good character and treats you well. If he's good-looking, that would be even better."

Chu Luo smiled and playfully scolded, "Mother, do you remember what you hoped for before I got married? Why do you have so many more requirements now?"

"Yes, yes, I'm so glad you're safe. Oh, by the way, someone sent you some books, I'll give them to you this time."

As Lu Yifu spoke, she took out a very ordinary paper package from the cabinet next to her.

Chu Luo reached out and took them; upon closer inspection, she saw they were several newly published novels by Fang Zhongtang.

She chatted with her mother while casually flipping through the pages looking for markings.

When her mother went to get her some food, she dipped her fingers in tea and pieced together the secret message on the table.

This message from the Chinese side is a warning of danger.

This refers to Regent Feng Zhe, who is frantically searching for hidden mountains and pipa masters—a dangerous situation!

Tell her not to show up.

Chu Luo remembered that someone in Ziyuntai had also offered a large reward for information leading to the Hidden Mountain.

She was puzzled; how could someone who could play the pipa suddenly become so popular?

Chu Luo initially thought that Feng Zhe's interest in the pipa was just a passing fancy.

But so much time has passed.

Instead of giving up, he searched even more vigorously.

There must be something sinister going on.
