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

Chu Luo recalled that in his previous lives he had been searching for someone who played the pipa.

This proves that it was not a spur-of-the-moment decision and cannot be left unchecked any longer.

On her way back to the Jin family home, Chu Luo heard some expected good news on the street.

The Rongdi army launched a surprise attack on the northwestern border, but was defeated by General Wei and the defending troops.

It has suffered a great loss of vitality and will not be able to attack again for some time.

At this moment, the only remaining reason is that Feng Zhe is so devoted to the pipa.

When Chu Luo inquired why Feng Zhe was so fixated on the pipa player.

I overheard some bad news from someone else's casual conversation.

Shouyuan Village is located in Mianshui Town, 300 li away from Jiangzhou, east of Dazheng.

Something extremely strange happened.

Within days, the entire village of Shouyuan was littered with corpses.

The cause of death is unknown, and the manner of death is bizarre.

Some say it's the work of witchcraft and monsters.

After all, that village was built against the mountain, far from the crowds, and thrived by a water source.

Those who do not intermarry with outsiders are also likely to live long lives.

Some say it was a natural disaster.

Some say it's ghosts or spirits.

However, Chu Luo, who has lived through several lifetimes, knows that the events in Shouyuan Village were actually caused by human error.

But the timing of this event was wrong.

Chu Luo remembered that in her previous lives, this event should have occurred after the siege of Jiangzhou.

At that time, Feng Zhe was already confident of victory and full of pride.

He devoted all his energy to the pursuit of immortality.

Shouyuan Village in Mianshui Town is a longevity village with many centenarians.

The entire village was now dead, and everyone who knew about it was shocked.

Feng Zhe pursued immortality and had countless eccentric doctors and strange warriors under his command.

Shouyuan Village in Mianshui Town is one of the places they are focusing on.

Chu Luo didn't know how they found the secret to longevity in this village.

In her memory, at the beginning of Shouyuan Village, people and even chickens and dogs kept disappearing.

Later, the village was filled with corpses overnight.

Everyone in the village who was sixteen years old or older died mysteriously.

The child, however, has disappeared without a trace.

Why was this brought forward?

This was something that had never happened in Chu Luo's previous rebirths.

Were there any children among those corpses this time?

Chu Luo was filled with questions.

She had to find out why this happened ahead of schedule.

What's even more frightening is that Feng Zhe's siege of Jiangzhou, which began the massacre, was brought forward.

The siege of Jiangzhou brought back vivid images of the bloody massacre in Chu Luo's mind.

Chu Luo felt a sharp pain in her chest, and her vision went black as she collapsed.

In my dream, there were several children, dressed in tattered clothes, emaciated, and covered in blood.

They stared at Chu Luo with wide, tearful eyes.

Chu Luo felt sorry for them, and her chest ached terribly.

The children opened their mouths and said something.

Chu Luo couldn't hear anything, and the less she could hear, the more anxious she became.

She could clearly feel their pain and fear.

Before she was awakened, the children all knelt down in front of her.

Chu Luo tried to pull them up, but she couldn't lift any of them.

Their kneeling felt like a thousand pounds pressing down on her heart.

"Chu Luo, wake up, wake up, Chu Luo, Chu Luo."

Chu Luo was awakened by several calls that were hard to ignore.

The moment I opened my eyes, a metallic sweetness rose in my throat.

"My beauty, don't swallow the blood, spit it out."

What Chu Luo heard was Fei Zhiyou's joyful voice.

Xingzhu also brought over a spittoon.

When Chu Luo vomited blood, Fei Zhiyou quickly handed her tea to rinse her mouth.

Xingzhu asked anxiously, "Young Master Fei, how is my young mistress?"

"Little Xingzhu, don't worry, everything will be alright with me here."

She fainted due to a sudden surge of blood and qi caused by extreme emotional fluctuations.

"As long as he wakes up and coughs up the blood, he shouldn't be in too much trouble."

While comforting Xingzhu, Fei Zhiyou removed the silver needles stuck in Chu Luo's body.

"My beauty, weren't you perfectly fine before?"

What could have happened to make your blood boil like this?

"Tell me, maybe I can help. I can't cure you if you don't resolve this issue."

Fei Zhiyou then sincerely asked Chu Luo.

Chu Luo shook her head.

"If he can't solve it, he might as well tell me."

When Jin Wuchen's voice rang out, Chu Luo realized that Jin Wuchen was also there.

Chu Luo asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Young Madam, you have fainted in the corner of the garden."

"If the young master hadn't found you in time and brought you back, we probably wouldn't have been able to find you for a while."

"Thank you"

Chu Luo never expected that it was him who discovered her.

Instead of ignoring her, he actually carried her back.

They weren't as cold as the rumors suggested.

Her secret desire was to kill Feng Zhe.

Let's not even discuss whether Jin Wuchen can kill Feng Zhe.

The more crucial question is, why did he kill Feng Zhe?

No reason.

She doesn't make assumptions, nor does she have unrealistic fantasies.

She had to fight alone.

"It's nothing, I'll handle it."

Chu Luo shook her head and refused.

She thought for a moment and asked a question: "When do people want to live a long life and live forever?"

Fei Zhiyou began, “There are three kinds of people: those whose lives are fulfilled, those whose lives are unfinished, and those who, when sick or injured, yearn for recovery and longevity.”

After listening, Chu Luo wondered if her cherry scheme had worked.

She added the poisoned cherries she had prepared for Feng Zhe, who was seriously injured in the assassination attempt.

Feng Zhe must be having some serious health problems.

That's why he ordered his men to take action against Shouyuan Village ahead of time.

That would make things clear, but whether that's actually the case remains to be seen.

Luo still needs to verify it.

"My beauty, you seem preoccupied but won't say why, which makes me a little uneasy about leaving."

Fei Zhiyou was in a dilemma at this moment.

Chu Luo asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Mianshui Town to take care of some business, and I might not be back for a while."

Fei Zhiyou told Chu Luo the destination.

Upon hearing the name Mianshui Town, Chu Luo immediately perked up:

"Take me with you, okay?"

Chu Luo looked at Fei Zhiyou with pleading eyes.

Seeing her expression, Fei Zhiyou wished he could agree immediately.

But realizing the person standing behind him, he was about to blurt out: "Okay."

It was swallowed down.

Chu Luo wanted to know if there were any children among the corpses of Shouyuan in Mianshui Town.

If not, then her dream might not be a coincidence.

Those children are very likely still alive.

In that case, she would have to find a way to save them.

"The Emperor appointed the newly appointed top scholar as Imperial Envoy to investigate the case in Shouyuan Village."

"I was invited to help, but Jin Wuchen declined."

"It might not be a good idea for me to take you away; people will say his wife was run off with his friend."

Fei Zhiyou really wanted to take Chu Luo with him, but recently rumors have been flying all over Jiangzhou.

This journey is long, how interesting it would be to have this beautiful woman as a companion to chat and relieve boredom.

Why do you make it sound like I'm going to elope with you?

"I just went out of curiosity; it wasn't too far to the left or right, so I thought I'd treat it as a short trip to relax and unwind."

Chu Luo has no choice but to go, and she will do her best to fight for it.

Fei Zhiyou gestured for her to ask Jin Wuchen.

Chu Luo immediately understood and asked Jin Wuchen, "I want to go and see, is that alright?"

Jin Wuchen didn't think her request was a bad thing.

Only by letting her out can we find out what she really wants to do.

Only then can we discover clues.

He didn't believe that the old man had really found this woman to be his wife.

It's easier to fish in troubled waters, and that makes things more interesting.

"As long as the old man doesn't restrict your freedom, I have no objection."

After Jin Wuchen finished speaking, he looked at Steward Sun.

Steward Sun was one of the old gang leader's men, so he naturally knew what the old gang leader meant.

Butler Sun continued:

"Master once said that as long as there is a wharf or ferry crossing with the canal gang, the young mistress's safety can be guaranteed."

“The young mistress can go with her guards, and besides, the young master has agreed to this.”

"What good luck! The canal gang really does have a dock and ferry crossing in that small place. I'll go pack my things and go with the beauty right away."

Fei Zhiyou smiled and said goodbye before heading off to prepare his things.

Chu Luo wondered again if the old gang leader was giving her too much preferential treatment.

What exactly is the reason?

Not only can she travel freely, but she can even go with other men.

It's really strange that neither the Jin father nor his son seemed to mind.
