Mu Qingge was stiff all over. She had just threatened the mid-wife with a hairpin, but in the blink of an eye, a dagger was pressed against her neck.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?“

Was there anyone who wanted to kill her?

Such a thing had never happened in her previous life, so was it because she had changed the progress of the original situation and the result?

While Mu Qingge was thinking, she heard a deliberately lowered voice. "Cry, cry and say, please let me go."

Wha... what?

She was at a loss. What kind of strange request was this?

Please, let me go?

Why was this sentence so familiar?

She remembered.

Previously, in the guest courtyard of Princess Jing'an's Mansion, when she was pressed down by the man who had also been drugged, she had begged him several times.

The voice of the man behind her was actually somewhat similar to that of the man from before.

So, it's him?

"Did he come to me?" And he suspected her. Did he want to confirm her identity in this way?

Mu Qingge thought and reacted very quickly. She pretended to be scared and changed into a slightly shrill voice. "Please... please let me go."

As Mu Qingge spoke, she quietly withdrew one hand from her sleeve and touched the hairpin that she had used to threaten the mid-wife.

Fortunately, the hairpin was still there.

Mu Qingge held the hairpin tightly and turned around. The dagger cut her neck, but she ignored it. She held the hairpin and stabbed at the man behind her.

The man reacted very quickly and only took two quick steps back.

However, Mu Qingge could see his appearance clearly. He was wearing a black brocade dress and a hollow golden mask, with an indescribable evil spirit all over his body.

Mu Qingge held the hairpin tightly in her hand, and her eyes were fierce. "Who are you? Why did you break into my Mu family?"

Li Xiao stared at Mu Qingge, who was obviously afraid but still threatened him with a cold face. The corners of his mouth suddenly curled slightly. It was interesting.

"Miss Hayes, don't you know who I am?"

"Although you deliberately changed your tone, it made me even more certain that the woman this afternoon was you."

Li Xiao looked at Mu Qingge, whose eyes suddenly widened because of his words, and the smile in his eyes faded little by little. "Your current appearance perfectly explains what it means to be fierce on the outside and weak on the inside?"

Was she outwardly strong but inwardly weak?

Mu Qingge was stunned, but Li Xiao suddenly moved.

Mu Qingge couldn't see how he moved at all, but he was already in front of her. He even grabbed her neck before she could react.

"Since you've already seen me, you can only die."

Li Xiao tightened his grip. Mu Qingge only felt a sharp pain in her neck, and she could not breathe at all. It was very uncomfortable...

Tears welled up in her eyes, and her breathing became more and more difficult.

Was she going to die?

She couldn't accept it.

She had finally been reborn, and she had thought that she could change her fate.

"It was dark in the Princess's Mansion before, and now you're wearing a mask. I don't know what you look like at all! Why do you want to kill me when you forced me?" Mu Qingge asked in a hoarse voice, almost using all her strength.

Li Xiao looked at the woman in front of him, who was in pain. His eyes flickered for a moment, then disappeared.

"You can ask Yama Palace why."

Mu Qingge was trembling all over. She felt that her ears were ringing and her vision was gradually blurred.

She was unwilling to give up. She wanted to live.

With this thought in mind, Mu Qingge suddenly roared, "You slept with me. Maybe I'm pregnant with your child! You can't kill me!"

"Child?"

He suddenly loosened his grip on her neck.

Mu Qingge fell to the ground and gasped for breath.

Li Xiao squatted down in front of her, pinched her chin, and forced her to raise her head. "You'd better be pregnant as you said. In a month, I will bring a doctor to take your pulse. If you are pregnant, then the child in your belly can continue to be your life-saving charm. If you are not pregnant..."

Li Xiao sneered and let go of Mu Qingge.

"If you run away, or tell others what happened, I will let you report to Yama in advance."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he disappeared from Mu Qingge, leaving only an afterimage.

Gone?

After escaping from death again, Mu Qingge took a deep breath and couldn't help crying.

She was reborn because she wanted to go against the heavens and change her fate. Why did she feel that this life seemed to be more difficult than her previous one?

Fortunately, at least her mother was still alive.

Fortunately, at least she had changed the trajectory of her fate.

Mu Qingge took a long time to calm down a little. Then she stood up again, left the bamboo forest, and returned to the courtyard where she and her mother lived.

As soon as she entered the yard, Mu Qingge saw a figure rushing toward her.

"Miss." The man's face was full of anxiety. "First Miss, where have you been? When you were in the Princess's Mansion, I just went to get some clothes for you. When I came back, I didn't see you."

"I waited for a long while. When all the guests in Princess's Mansion had left, but I didn't see you, I hurried back to the manor. When I returned to the manor, I heard that you had already come back. First Miss, why didn't you tell me when you came back? I was so worried."

Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes and soon recognized the person. It was her maid, Lv Zhu.

However, Lv Zhu was playful. Before she had an accident, she did not serve her very well. In her previous life, after she had an accident, Lv Zhu did not treat her as a master at all and did not listen to her orders.

Later, Lv Zhu followed her into the Lord Protector's Manor. She simply seduced Wang Huanzhi and became his sex servant.

After Lv Zhu became Wang Huanzhi's maid, Wang Huanzhi did not assign any other maid to her. She had long been used to being alone, but forgot that she had such a maid now.

However, the tone of Lv Zhu just now...

"Are you accusing me?" Mu Qingge narrowed her eyes and fixed her eyes on Lv Zhu.

"I also want to ask you. You said you were going to get me some clothes. From there to where we parked the carriage, a round trip of two quarters of an hour is enough, right? I waited for you there for so long. Why? But you haven’t come back yet?”

In her previous life, she had been in extreme pain and despair after what had happened to her. She did not dare to recall what had happened that day at all.

Now that she thought about it carefully, there was something fishy about it.

She was drenched, and Lv Zhu went to get her spare clothes. It would not take long.

If Lv Zhu came back with clothes, she should have been drugged, but Wang Huanzhi had not arrived yet.

In that case, nothing would happen to her.

However, Lv Zhu did not return.
