Rebirth and Rewriting Fate

At this moment, Luo Feng'er in the pavilion was staring angrily at Yun Chu after she landed, her usually cunning eyes now seeming to spit fire.

Her heart burned like a raging fire, and she angrily cursed, "That little bitch ruined my plans again!"

Luo Feng'er glanced at the noblewoman standing to the side, who had just looked like she had survived a disaster, and a disdainful smile appeared on her lips.

This noble lady has been at odds with her since she entered the garden today. She had gone to great lengths to set up this trap and lure her here, intending to use an "accident" to teach her a lesson and show her what it means to be "outstanding and capable."

However, she never expected that this plan would be ruined by Yun Chu, that "little bitch".

Thinking of this, Luo Feng'er gritted her teeth, wishing she could pounce on Yun Chu and tear her hateful face to shreds. She secretly vowed that she would settle this score properly when the opportunity arose.

As for that noblewoman, although she escaped this time, she wouldn't let her off easily. After all, in this world where power reigns supreme, she had plenty of ways to make her regret it.

The steward, who arrived later, hurriedly pulled his young mistress downstairs. He had just seen her push someone, and it was the daughter of a high-ranking official. Fortunately, she was saved by the veiled woman, and fortunately, the veiled woman was also saved, otherwise, he didn't know how the situation would have ended.

He had to get her away quickly. He knocked his young mistress unconscious with a single blow and had the maids and servants following behind help her away. He silently prayed, "Miss, you should just sleep. If you're asleep, everything will be alright." The task the master had entrusted to him of watching over the young mistress was too difficult. He had been careless earlier, and she had run away, causing trouble in the process.

Yun Chu glared angrily at Gu Ruoxiao. What was wrong with this person? Why was he so angry at her? Even though he saved her, why was he still holding onto her? What did that mean?

The noble ladies in the pavilion were initially whispering, but their conversation gradually grew louder. Although Gu Ruoxiao and Yun Chu were a short distance away, they could still hear them.

"Is that the Regent?" someone asked doubtfully.

"Yes, that's the Regent. I've seen him. He's so handsome and dashing," a noblewoman said in a gushing manner.

"Who is the person he's holding in his arms?"

"I don't know, she's wearing a veil."

"They're hugging and kissing in public, are they planning to go to the Prince's mansion? If I had known, I would have saved them." A jealous voice rang out.

"I'm nearby, it's not your turn to save me," she retorted defiantly.

Hearing the increasingly outrageous sounds, Yun Chu couldn't help but get angry. "Let go!"

She struggled, but the hand restraining her waist remained motionless.

"Gu Ruoxiao!" Yun Chu was furious, but she only dared to growl.

Gu Ruoxiao's deep gaze locked onto her, and his actions were a step faster than his thoughts. He raised his hand and deftly pulled off the veil from her face.

The moment the veil fell, time seemed to freeze.

Her face, as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, was presented to him without any concealment; it was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her skin was as white as snow, so delicate that one could almost feel its vibrant life force with the slightest touch. And because of her anger, a hint of rosy blush tinged her fair skin, like a lotus flower under the first rays of dawn, both pure and subtly alluring.

Her lips, slightly pursed in anger, were as vibrant as a newly blooming rose, creating a striking contrast with her surrounding fair skin, making them appear even more exquisite. Her bright eyes, though flashing with anger, could not conceal their liveliness and depth.

He gazed at her, his Adam's apple bobbing unconsciously, a surge of indescribable emotion welling up within him. It was an impulse to get closer to her, to understand her, to soothe her anger. His eyes became intense and deep, as if trying to draw her entire soul into them.

At that moment, he completely forgot everything around him, his eyes only on her. And she seemed to sense the intensity of his gaze, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes—anger, doubt, and a barely perceptible tenderness.

"So she's the Regent's wife?!" someone exclaimed.

"There's nothing interesting to watch then, let's go."

The sounds from the pavilion gradually subsided, pulling Gu Ruoxiao and Yun Chu back to their senses.

Having achieved his goal, Gu Ruoxiao released his grip. Yun Chu stepped back, turned, and walked away. After only a few steps, Yun Chu turned back, snatched the veil from his hand, stomped on Gu Ruoxiao's foot, and stormed off angrily. Nan Rao, who was standing nearby, hurriedly followed.

The pain in his foot made Gu Ruoxiao chuckle. He smiled slightly and suddenly felt quite happy.

But he quickly stopped smiling, turned to look at the broken railing, and narrowed his eyes. "Chiwu, go check it out!"

"Yes!" Chiwu hurriedly accepted the order.

Yun Chu sat in the private room reserved for distinguished guests, trying to calm her anger. She had already downed three cups of tea, but she was still furious. So what if he had saved her? He was holding her tightly, causing the other ladies to gossip about him. What was he doing?!

Not long after, Mo Han returned. She had just heard about the incident at the pavilion and hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Yun Chu said, feeling that she couldn't let anger cloud her judgment.

"So, what did you find out?"

"Among those servants, six have crescent-shaped marks on their tiger's mouth. They all entered Luoyuan as servants half a month ago. As for their previous identities and origins, we will need time to investigate."

Yun Chu understood Mo Han's meaning. It was already quite good that Mo Han had managed to find out so much in such a short time without using his secret guards. If he wanted to find out more, he would still need to use Gu Ruoxiao's people. But she had already divorced him and didn't intend to have anything to do with him anymore. However, she still felt vaguely uneasy about this matter.

"Miss."

Yun Chu looked at Mo Han.

"Your subordinate has just learned that Luo Feng'er is the daughter of Luo Bo, the grain transport commissioner who was transferred back to the capital two months ago. I heard that Luo Feng'er was arrogant and domineering when she was in Mo County. Luo Bo had his daughter late in life, so he dotes on her very much."

So that's how it is. Yun Chu pondered, could there be a connection between the Grain Transport Commissioner and the Rice Shop in the East Market?

"Miss, did she push you to the ground?" Mo Han asked, her face full of anger, as if she would go out and kill someone the next second after receiving confirmation from Yun Chu.

Yun Chu looked up at Mo Han and reassured her, "I was thrown down the stairs during the pushing and pulling, but that's not urgent. We have more important things to do."

Yun Chu pondered. She didn't want to get entangled with Gu Ruoxiao, but she could contact Chi Wu. Although he would report to his master, it wouldn't affect the clues she needed.

She looked up at Nanrao and said, "Nanrao, go and find Chiwu for me, and have him come here."

"Looking for Chiwu?" Nanrao asked, puzzled.

"Mm." Yun Chu nodded.

Although Nan Rao was puzzled, she didn't ask and quickly ran out.
