The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

"what?"

Although Yun Qingjin did dislike her adoptive parents, she never considered reporting them to the authorities.

In my previous life, I would avoid government officials whenever I saw them.

"It's alright, you rest first! I'll go get ready!"

This new mother was in a hurry; she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The mother who had brought the food earlier came in and cleared away the dishes. Seeing the little girl sitting blankly on the bed, she began to comfort her.

"That's just how Boss Yun is, kid. Get some rest first."

"Auntie, thank you. Did you cook the meal just now? It was delicious. May I ask your name?"

"Just call me Aunt Hua." The mother in front of her smiled and nodded slightly, gesturing for Yun Qingjin to lie down.

"Poor girl, get some rest. Look at your frail body... I'll stay with you, don't worry. What do you want to eat later? I'll cook it for you."

With a high bed and soft pillows, and Aunt Hua's soft murmurs, Yun Qingjin quickly fell asleep.

But... in my dream...

"I knew it! You're so shameless, why don't you at least try to avoid it! The Marquis of Changxing's mansion has no daughter as disgraceful as you!"

"You've disappointed your mother so much, it would have been better if I hadn't brought you back!"

……

"Mingli, is that your sister who was found? She's so unsophisticated, she looks so petty. You and Madam Hou have the same kind of temperament."

……

“I am about to go to the battlefield, a perilous journey. Mingli has a brighter future ahead of her, and you… the title of General’s wife should be enough for you. However, if you continue to harass Mingli, I will make sure you are humiliated.”

"Consummate the marriage? No need, I feel disgusted just looking at you..."

“You’re sick, so don’t go out after the wedding. Your parents aren’t in good health either. I’ll go back for you on the third day after your wedding, so Mingli won’t be worried when she sees you.”

……

"The Grand Preceptor Fan is dedicated to the country and its people. Now he needs a woman whose fate is compatible with his to offer sacrifice. I have consulted a fortune teller, and you are the most suitable one. You will bring glory to our ancestors."

"Without the Grand Preceptor's advice, I would not have won the battle. If it weren't for the Grand Preceptor's research on new equipment over the past seven years, I wouldn't have returned alive. My General's Mansion owes the Grand Preceptor a great debt. Your sacrifice is my way of repaying the Grand Preceptor's help."

"Don't worry, I will put your memorial tablet in the ancestral hall. I will make sure that your family's incense offerings will be passed down to future generations."

……

"Get lost! Who cares!"

"Young lady? Don't get excited, Aunt Hua is here."

"My dear daughter? Having another nightmare?"

Yun Qingjin convulsed for a while, then desperately opened her eyes and saw Yun Yuke and Aunt Hua looking at her with concern.

"Child, did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, we're all here for you."

"Hmm... Mother, and Aunt Hua, I'm alright now."

Both Yun Yuke and Aunt Hua could sense that the young girl had something on her mind.

But the two of them tacitly agreed not to press the matter further.

"Don't be afraid, the kitchen has made you a bowl of calming soup. I'll bring it to you, ma'am."

After drinking the calming soup, Yun Qingjin was pressed back onto the bed.

Perhaps the medicine worked well this time, as I slept without any dreams.

Two days later, at dusk.

Yun Qingjin was held protectively in Yun Yuke's arms as they ran along the mountain path to the other side of the mountain.

"How are you? Can you still bear it? If you feel uncomfortable, tell your mother. I'll run slower." Yun Yuke asked the little one in her arms as she ran.

"No, no, it's just a bit novel, I've never experienced it before."

Only three days after her rebirth, Yun Qingjin's life experiences have already been far more novel than her previous life's more than twenty years of experiences.

It would be a lie to say it wasn't uncomfortable to be carried so fast in someone's arms, but the novelty overshadowed the discomfort.

"Alright, we seem to be almost there." Yun Yuke continued running without stopping.

The scenery around them gradually became familiar; it was the village where their adoptive parents had once lived.

Based on her memory, Yun Qingjin returned to the house where her adoptive parents used to live.

"Eh?"

"What's wrong, Qingqing?"

"It seems like there are too many lights on so late at night... My adoptive parents never allowed me to light any lights before, and they wouldn't let me light any lights in winter when it gets dark early."

Yun Qingjin was deeply impressed by this matter.

In their previous life, ever since they were able to do some chores, the couple had delegated all the sewing and mending work in the house to Qingjin.

However, it's impossible to light an oil lamp.

"Then let's slowly move closer and take a look."

The two tiptoed, and before they even reached the window, they heard a sound.

"You abandoned her on the mountain? We haven't seen her for three days?"

The speaker was an unfamiliar middle-aged man.

"I...my son went to look for him, but..."

This time it was her adoptive father's voice. But it was indeed the first time Yun Qingjin had ever heard him speak so timidly.

“Um… Distinguished guest, you’re looking for that wretched girl…” Another voice rang out; it was the foster mother.

"...This is the thing that girl always carried with her? Is this all there is?" The strange male voice ignored the adoptive parents and only asked.

"Oh! And then there's the swaddling clothes that wrapped that girl in, those things are long gone..." the foster mother answered softly.

"Alright, then there's nothing to worry about." The unfamiliar male voice spoke softly after a moment of contemplation.

"What did you say, sir...?"

Before the adoptive father could finish speaking, three muffled thuds were heard from inside the house.

Yun Qingjin was still curious when she saw Yun Yuke's expression change drastically, and she reached out to cover the mouths of both of them.

"I didn't really want to kill anyone, but it's safer to deal with it anyway. Now that I have this, I can get the job done."

The stranger stopped talking after that, and only the sounds of chairs overturning and tables flipping could be heard from inside the room.

After a short while, the lights inside flickered, and soon flames rose up everywhere.

"Qingqing, you said the people in this village all pity you, right?"

Yun Yuke covered Yun Qingjin's mouth with her hand while whispering a question in her ear.

Yun Qingjin nodded firmly in confirmation, her eyes resolute.

Yun Yuke whispered, "Then you'll listen to me in a bit, just like this..."

The strange man inside was still there, surrounded by flames, which looked rather frightening.

The man paced back and forth inside the house, and only came out after the flames had grown larger.

The Yun family mother and daughter, who had been lying in wait, rushed out as soon as they saw the man.

"Fire! Someone set fire!"

The woman's voice was high-pitched, piercing the night sky.

Yun Yuke leaped forward and pinned the stranger to the ground.

Yun Qingjin quickly scanned the room and found her adoptive parents and her so-called brother lying motionless inside.

Just as Yun Yuke had said, this person first killed the victim to silence her, and then set fire to the body to destroy it.

As planned, Yun Qingjin ran towards the village, shouting, "Fire! Murder!"

The little girl's voice woke up everyone in the village.

While holding the stranger down, Yun Yuke didn't stop. While restraining him, she found a lot of things on his body and pocketed them all.

"Who are you! Let me go! Or you'll regret it!"

"Who I am is none of your business, but I know you're an arsonist!"

Seeing that the surrounding villagers had arrived, Yun Yuke no longer hid and shouted loudly, exposing the other party's crimes to the public, giving them no chance to soften their stance.

"Help! This person has set fire! Fire! Fire!"

"There's a fire! Help!"

"Wow, how come the fire is so big!"

The villagers arrived quickly; some helped Yun Yuke subdue the thief, while others passed water back and forth.

With the concerted efforts of the entire village, the fire at the Jin family's house was quickly brought under control.

Yun Qingjin was led here by the village chief. When she was looking for someone earlier, Yun Qingjin went directly to the village chief's house. The village chief's family was large and they took good care of her; they were all acquaintances.

"Little girl from the Jin family, how exactly did your house catch fire?"

"Village chief! Something terrible has happened! The entire Jin family has been wiped out!"
