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

"Are you going out?" Jin Wuchen asked with a smile.

Upon hearing the young master's question, Xingzhu stopped in her tracks and replied, "Yes, Madam Yan is taking the young mistress to some kind of flower-viewing banquet."

Jin Wuchen hoped the worry on Chu Luo's brow would fade, and said to her, "Going out for some fun would be nice."

"Hmm," Chu Luo answered softly, and fled the room as if escaping.

Thinking about the intimate moments they had just shared, Chu Luo didn't want to be with him anymore.

She was quite embarrassed and couldn't be as natural as Jin Wuchen.

After Jin Wuchen watched Chu Luo leave with a smile, Hu Li seized the opportunity to appear in front of him.

"Young Master, I took the liberty of checking the Young Madam's records again, and the results are identical to those of Meng Shan; there's not a single discrepancy."

He wouldn't have investigated Mengshan again, but seeing Jin Wuchen treating Chu Luo differently each day, he was still uneasy.

The more he couldn't find out anything, the more puzzled Hu Li became.

The investigation results could not explain Chu Luo's actions.

He understood, and Jin Wuchen was well aware of it as well.

Hu Li thought for a moment and then recounted what he had found: "The young mistress is not at fault, but the Chu family has been acting strangely lately."

"Say"

"Not long ago, Master Chu disappeared from Jiangzhou for a day and a night, along with his two wives."

"disappear?"

If they went to a normal place, Hu Li wouldn't use the word "disappear."

Hu Li explained the reason: "They set off late at night, avoiding others, and especially deliberately avoiding areas with shops belonging to the Canal Gang."

Jin Wuchen pondered Chu Songyuan's purpose in avoiding the Canal Gang. Was it because he was afraid they would find out, or because he was afraid Chu Luo would find out, or because he was afraid of both?

Jin Wuchen recalled that day when Chu Luo was distraught in the torrential rain and asked, "Is her mother alright?"

"Nothing happened, but there was a coincidence. During the time when Master Chu disappeared, the Chu family's shops were suddenly devoured by someone, and the family business was almost completely destroyed."

Later, Master Chu appeared, and the two ladies returned home the next day. The attack on the Chu family's shops also stopped at that time.

Jin Wuchen said, "There are no such coincidences. Do you know who is behind this attack on the Chu family's shops?"

Hu Li shook his head. "The other party's financial resources are extraordinary. They acted cleanly and swiftly, leaving no trace. They started and stopped suddenly."

"What was the result?" Jin Wuchen asked.

"In the end, those shops inexplicably returned to the Chu family's hands. The Chu family just suffered some losses in silence; it was as if nothing else had happened."

Upon hearing this, Jin Wuchen felt that this matter was related to Chu Luo.

But how could she mobilize such wealthy people? And if she really encountered trouble, why didn't she ask the Jin family for help?

"Where was the young mistress at that time?"

"Not long after the two ladies of the Chu family returned to their residence, the young mistress appeared at the Chu family home, but she left shortly afterward, looking dejected."

Jin Wuchen knew what happened next.

"I see you're just bored. Go find out where Master Chu is going with his two wives, who attacked the Chu family's shops that day, and what happened at the Chu family's residence that day. I need to know everything."

"Yes"

"Also, you intelligence chiefs, stop investigating her repeatedly; you won't find anything out anyway."

Hu Li could easily understand Jin Wuchen's meaning; he was implying that they were useless.

They never expected that this seemingly simple and harmless young mistress would be so difficult to investigate.

He had no martial arts skills but was adept at using poison; he almost poisoned the young master on their first meeting.

Those who guarded the source of the Mian River and rescued people were both bold and righteous.

In addition, she can perfectly imitate the voices of familiar people.

This is completely inconsistent with her status as a wealthy illegitimate daughter; she seems more like a mysterious figure who has traveled the world extensively.

This is only where she has shown herself.

More importantly, she was able to become fast friends with Young Master Fei, who seemed easy to get along with but actually didn't really respect anyone except the young master.

She even saved the highly skilled physician, Young Master Fei, becoming a benefactor to the entire Fei family.

What worried him even more was that she could so easily change his young master's mind.

Since her appearance, the young master has been noticeably different from before.

His intuition told him that the real problem was that such a person could be found to be without issues during the investigation.

Fox Li had to admit defeat, "Young Master, we were useless. We never expected to stumble on the Young Madam."

"Is there still no news about the person we asked Mengshan to find?"

Hu Li sighed, "It's like he vanished into thin air, completely disappeared."

In the past six months, he and Mengshan have suffered one defeat after another. They can't find anyone and can't figure out the truth. It's really like seeing ghosts.

Madam Yan, accompanied by the dressed-up Chu Luo, arrived at a luxurious mountain villa.

Chu Luo had assumed it was just an ordinary flower-viewing party and that there wouldn't be many people.

Even before the banquet began, many young men and women had already arrived.

Although no one knew Madam Yan's identity, everyone seemed to respect her greatly, and treated Chu Luo, whom she brought, with great courtesy.

Chu Luo felt uncomfortable as many people stared at her from the moment she entered the manor.

Unbeknownst to her, her already stunning beauty now possessed an alluring and captivating charm.

This was all because of the kiss Jin Wuchen gave me before I left.

"Little Chu, let them look. You'll get used to it."

When Madam Yan comforted her, she became calm and even enjoyed being the center of attention.

Madam Yan took Chu Luo to meet several highly respected ladies.

"This is Chu Luo, a girl I really like."

Madam Yan introduced her to several ladies.

Chu Luo bowed to the ladies in a generous and proper manner.

When she finished bowing and raised her head, the ladies were all taken aback when they saw her face.

"What a beautiful girl, no wonder she attracted so much attention as soon as she walked in."

One lady smiled and scolded, "You're such a clever person. You already have a grandson, and you have such a girl. Why didn't you bring her here sooner? What were you doing hiding her away?"

Madam Yan smiled and replied, "Your daughter-in-law is also first-rate. She is filial to her parents-in-law, virtuous and kind. Everyone praises her. Why say such things?"

"Isn't it because she saw such a well-behaved and beautiful girl, and her heart fluttered, making her regret not having more sons?"

Upon hearing this, the ladies burst into laughter.

"Chu girl, go and play with those young people. We old folks will stay here and have a chat."

Chu Luo is not interested in people, but she is very interested in flowers, and everything else seems to be the opposite.

Xingzhu, who was waiting not far away, was talking to a man.

Chu Luo was afraid that she would encounter some unreliable people again, so she didn't linger and walked towards her.

"Miss Chu, what brings you to this flower banquet?" Qingniao was somewhat incredulous to see her here.

"Bluebird, what brings you here? Where is your young master?"

Qingniao wasn't one to make a fuss, but Chu Luo noticed his surprise and felt something was amiss.

His words implied that she shouldn't have been there at all.

"Young master was invited, but didn't come. He sent me to deliver some flowers," Qingniao said, pointing to the flowers that had been delivered.

Qingniao didn't linger. He had someone keep an eye on the situation in the courtyard, and since Chu Luo was there, he went to investigate.

After learning some details, he rushed back to the Fei family to report to the young master about Miss Chu's presence there.

Chu Luo went over and saw that the person talking to Xing Zhu was Chen Shu.

As Chen Shu watched her approach step by step, his heart pounded so hard he forgot how to breathe.

After some time apart, Chu Luo's appearance was even more beautiful than before.

Especially the spring-like charm in the corners of her eyes and brows, which carries a beauty that is hard to ignore.

She was naturally capable of easily attracting everyone's attention.

In her current state, it was even more difficult for him and many other men present to look away.

Even this man, who had been aloof and distant from crowds since being admitted to the hospital, couldn't help but glance at Chu Luo a few times.

Chu Luo also noticed him, not expecting him to appear so early.

This should be a reminder that she can move up her next plan.

He was probably the biggest unexpected gain at her flower-viewing party.
