To divorce his wife, the top scholar preferred being cuckolded to wearing a red hat.

As Su Mingyue listened to his words, she also felt the changes in his body, and cursed him as a beast in her heart.

But with someone beneath him, and terrifying thoughts swirling in his mind, he dared not do anything reckless.

The other party is an assassin. If I pique his interest, he might do something to harm me first, and then I'll have wasted my second life.

"Um, I won't move, could you please let me go first?" Su Mingyue tried her best to speak gently so as not to anger the other party.

She had died once, not because she was afraid of dying, but because she had barely survived and hadn't even had a chance to enjoy life before dying again—what a pity.

"If you hadn't acted so quickly, I wouldn't be in this situation," the man in black said, quite annoyed.

"You're not here to kill me." Seeing that the other party hadn't made a move, Su Mingyue was certain of one thing: the other party wasn't an assassin, and wasn't here to take her life.

"If I wanted to kill you, would you even have a chance to live now?"

"Then get up and go upstairs to talk." This startled her.

The man in black groped his way to his feet, and Su Mingyue, now free, fumbled around with her hands. A beam of light and an opening appeared above her head.

After coming out, Su Mingyue realized that her clothes were torn, and a lot of her skin below her neck was exposed.

The man in black had a stern face.

"Tell me, what brings you here?" Su Mingyue found an outer garment and put it on, regaining her previous languid demeanor.

"You really don't remember me?" The man in black looked displeased when he saw that the other party did not recognize him.

Looking at his face, Su Mingyue felt like she had seen him somewhere before: "You wouldn't happen to be that man from that night, would you?"

Last time, a man was injured on her estate, and she helped him out. She never expected him to come looking for her.

"We've settled things from last time, so what brings you here?" She had saved the other person last time and had even gotten a token from them. If she ever needed help in the future, she could simply bring the token to their door and ask for assistance.

The man in black covered his face and coughed lightly: "You believe I just happened to be passing by?"

Su Mingyue looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, "Do you even believe me?"

"I just overheard two men in black talking about how they were going to kill you. I thought you saved my life, so I couldn't just leave you to die, and that's why I came over. But I did witness some memorable scenes."

Su Mingyue knew about the scene where the assassin was shot to death by a hail of arrows; she must have seen it. She also saw her having the body disposed of.

"So what if I saw it?" Su Mingyue tilted her head back.

Xiao Zhan chuckled lightly: "Nothing much. They wanted to kill you, but they were no match for you, so they deserved to be shot. I'm just a little curious about you. Did you add all these traps to your courtyard later? Could it be that you can predict the future and knew you would be assassinated, which is why you created so many traps? If that's the case, how many people have you offended outside?"

When he heard those words, he wasn't sure if the Su Mingyue the other person was talking about was the one he knew, which is why he followed them.

He only realized after following her that this woman was just as calm and collected as before, which led him to discover many pleasant surprises.

"Who could a weak woman like me offend?" Su Mingyue herself was also helpless. Since her rebirth, she hadn't done anything, yet assassins had already come looking for her.

It makes sense. Someone's wedding is about to start, and it would be embarrassing for them if someone who shouldn't be there showed up.

Even if she did nothing wrong, how could anyone feel at ease letting her live?
