After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

"Besides you, no one else should think you're a good person. Right, only Jiang Zhiwan would be interested in you. You two are a perfect match, it's obvious that you've made a good pair."

Yunniang shrugged, quite naturally.

"Me and Jiang Zhiwan? Yunniang, are you angry? You know that woman likes me, so you keep talking about it. Actually, you're just jealous."

"Zhiyun, I understand your little tricks. You women just love to fight and be jealous, wanting to do everything, but actually doing nothing well."

Hearing such words, Jiang Zhiyun tolerated it several times before she finally managed not to throw him out: "That's enough. Do you think I really have time to listen to your nonsense every day?"

"Get out of here right now. If I like you, may your whole family die."

All the curses were cast upon him, and it would be even better if he died at this moment.

Xu Pingan stood up, his face filled with disbelief: "You..."

"Jiang Zhiyun, if that's the case, have you thought it through? Do you want to stand with Xie Shuheng?"

“Of course.” Jiang Zhiyun nodded. “You’re so bad. I feel unworthy to have you standing next to me.”

"I don't want to say anything even harsher."

Xu Ping'an became somewhat agitated: "Do you mean that you still can't bear it? You're still single-mindedly focused on me? Zhiyun, I've said it before, I lost you in my past life, and I will definitely make up for it in this life. It's complicated. In my past life, you burned everyone in the manor to death, but I didn't die."

"That's when I realized that you loved me so deeply that you were willing to perish with my entire family for me."

"..."

Jiang Zhiyun was at a loss for words to explain.

She now feels a sense of peace, as if she's talking to a brick wall.

No matter what you do, you can't wake up someone who's pretending to be dead.

“That means you were reborn to die again,” Jiang Zhiyun explained seriously. “Perhaps this life is so that I can kill you again.”

"...Zhiyun, you clearly care about me, so why do you have to be so cold-hearted?" He sighed as he said this, his face full of helplessness.

"It's not that I'm heartless. It's just a fact."

"Either get out of here, or kill me." Jiang Zhiyun sat there, and Xu Ping'an was also in a dilemma.

“I can’t kill you with my own hands, but if you keep struggling for Xie Shuheng, then it won’t be me who comes to kill you.”

Seeing the warning in his eyes, Jiang Zhiyun simply nodded calmly: "Whatever."

"If you have nothing to say, then get out of here."

"You have someone with you, but I don't? Do you really think your coming in was a coincidence, or have you figured out all the rules of this house?"

As Jiang Zhiyun spoke, Xu Ping'an was already suspended in a net. It was obvious that a trap had been triggered.

Xu Pingan considered himself very perceptive, and Jiang Zhiyun's methods seemed like those used to deal with farmers, which looked disgusting.

Who would have thought that they would actually hang him up?

"you……"

"Zhiyun, you have indeed been quite mischievous in this life."

Jiang Zhiyun couldn't stand him talking; every time Xu Ping'an spoke, she wanted to tear his mouth apart.

"Xu Pingan, in my last life, I married you as if I had a criminal record. Do you know how disgusting it is for you to say these words now? I just want to beat you up. When will you die, I will wait for you to eat."

Xu Pingan wanted to cut the net with a knife, but before he knew it, he had exchanged a few words with Jiang Zhiyun and his hand had completely lost its strength.

Xu Pingan: ?

"You poisoned me?"

"This is the poison powder. We've been using it all along. It's not targeting you. And it doesn't mean I'm interested in you. Don't overthink it."

姜知云揍他一顿，都害怕他舔刀口。

It was utterly disgusting, so I made it clear from the start, leaving this person with absolutely no chance to associate with me.

Xu Ping'an wasn't afraid: "I came with many people from the Censorate. These people are all capable officials in the court, and they are all directly under the Emperor's command."

"Zhiyun, don't make a big mistake because of your resentment towards me. All I want in this life is for you to live well and be my wife in peace."

It's strange. If Jiang Zhiyun had just agreed to be his wife and was happy about it, Xu Ping'an probably wouldn't have felt anything or even wanted to be.

This life has completely changed.

Xu Pingan felt a strong sense that Jiang Zhiyun was the only one for him. He never thought about it, never tried to climb the ladder, and never would.

In his previous life, Xu Ping'an firmly believed that everything he had achieved was through his own hard work, and Jiang Zhiyun was just a dependent, parasitic figure. But in this life, when he truly tried to make it on his own, he found that it was simply not going to work.

Xu Ping'an never told anyone about it. Even though he remembered the imperial examination questions from his previous life, he tried to take the exam in this life, but he never made it onto the list...

He secretly took the exam, originally intending to impress the entire Xu family. He never expected it to turn out so shameful, which is why he decided to take the wrong path with Jiang Zhiwan, using his precognitive knowledge of historical events from his previous life to make money.

That's all Xu Ping'an can do.

He sighed, realizing that all his worries boiled down to this one thing. Further discussion was pointless; Jiang Zhiyun was the key to everything.

She is destined to assist him throughout his life.

If she were to follow Xie Shuheng, who was already incredibly terrifying, and with Jiang Zhiyun added to the mix, could her status be even higher than in her previous life?

That can only be... the one sitting on the dragon throne.

However, Xu Ping'an believed that, given Jiang Zhiyun's cautious nature, she would not attempt to seize the throne.

Therefore, Xu Ping'an can still stir up trouble among the princes.

Lost in thought, Xu Ping'an suddenly realized: "Where are all the people from the Surveillance Department around me?"

"Zhiyun, what have you done?"

"Oh, so our men have been taken to see the officials."

"If the Inspectorate and you search me together without a search warrant, that would be considered harassment, and it would be recorded after the official visit. We'll see if you're tarnishing the reputation of the court."

Xu Pingan said somewhat angrily, "Smearing your reputation is a minor matter. The most important thing is, Jiang Zhiyun, do you know that if this happens, the Supervisory Department will never be able to come here again?"

“If your family causes trouble, our Inspectorate cannot come to uphold justice.”

"Who needs you to uphold justice? Just don't cause me any trouble."

Jiang Zhiyun knew how despicable, shameless, and vengeful Xu Ping'an was.

Killing them now would be the best course of action...

Otherwise, if there were to be retaliation in the future, it would be fine for her and Xie Shuheng, but if it were Xiao Fantuan and Yang Ge'er... Yun Niang didn't even dare to think about it.

This kind of person is good at finding people's weaknesses.

This time, Jiang Zhiyun harbored murderous intent.
