20. The thief?
On the same night, not only was the Lin Mansion aroused, but the Jin Prince's Mansion was also not at peace.
Maybe it was because she had rested a lot in the afternoon, but Yun Qingzhi was still not sleepy when she reached the branches on the moon, so she lit the candles in the room, intending to take advantage of the rare tranquility to think about what had happened recently.
On their wedding day, the groom was caught in bed and raped by her. In anger, she broke off the engagement and went back to three years ago, with an extra lifetime of memories.
If it had not happened to me, it would be difficult to believe that it was true. I would not even dare to write such a thing in a novel.
She looks strong these days, but actually she feels weak inside.
A new life is both a gift and a nightmare.
Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing, and ignorance is not necessarily happiness.
The extra memories let her know that the man she loved was just a sanctimonious hypocrite. She once thought that the future mother-in-law she was easy to get along with turned out to be a vicious person who was kind and cruel.
The weak cousin who will come to her home in more than a year is a villain who does one thing in front of her and another in front of her.
Her parents and brothers, who are doting on her now, will be confused by the superficial appearance of the vicious cousin in the future and gradually become alienated from her. It was not until she died that they suddenly became aware of Bai Manli's true face.
She did not blame her parents and brothers for being deceived by Bai Manli. Even as a victim, if Bai Manli had not admitted it later, she would not have known that all the suffering she had suffered was caused by Bai Manli's deliberate intentions.
It's not strange, but it doesn't mean you can accept it.
She was once the darling of her parents and her brother's darling. She didn't understand, could it be that the daily interactions of more than ten years could not compare to Bai Manli's nearly two years of fun?
The extra memories made her wake up and see everything clearly, but it also made her painful and difficult to accept.
She should be lucky that her mother has something to do with her family these days, her second brother is training in the military camp and has not returned yet, and besides her eldest brother, only her father is left in the family.
No one has noticed the change in her yet, and no one will ask why she suddenly distanced herself from them.
This is good. In this case, she will have more time to calm down her unwillingness, and when everyone gets along, she can continue to play the role of a good daughter and a good sister without any flaws.
Yun Qingzhi was lost in her own thoughts and did not notice the noise outside the house. When she noticed something was wrong around her, someone behind her stretched out a hand and put a dagger on her neck.
"Don't move, don't make a sound, otherwise, the weapon in my hand is not very sharp. If I accidentally cut off your slender neck, don't blame me."
The man behind him lowered his voice and spoke in a low voice.
"Who are you?"
After the initial panic, Yun Qingzhi quickly calmed down and asked in a low voice.
"This is Prince Jin's Mansion. You ran in the wrong direction. Once you enter Prince Jin's Mansion, you won't be able to escape even if you take wings. I advise you to either put down your weapons and surrender directly, or leave quickly, otherwise, someone will come over later.
You won’t be able to leave.”
"Ha---of course I know this is Prince Jin's Mansion," the person behind him didn't expect Yun Qingzhi to be so calm and chuckled. The voice was unexpectedly pleasant and full of male magnetism, "Little girl,
Have you ever heard that the most dangerous place is the safest?"
"Everyone knows that Prince Jin's Mansion is heavily guarded. Who would have thought that I would just run into Prince Jin's Mansion?"
The man looked at Yun Qingzhi, who was still pretending to be calm, but his expression changed instantly, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart.
I thought I was really not afraid, but it seemed that I wanted to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, but unfortunately, he exposed me.
"you......"
"Miss? Are you okay?"
Just as Yun Qingzhi was about to speak, Yuan'er's anxious voice came from outside the door.
"Yuan'er, the light is on in the young lady's room, she should be awake."
Xiang'er said from the side, "Get out of the way and I'll open the door."
"Let them go away quickly, otherwise..." As she said that, she exerted a slight force on the dagger in her hand, and Yun Qingzhi could clearly feel the chill when the dagger touched her neck.
"Xiang'er, I'm fine."
Yun Qingzhi said calmly, "I've already changed my clothes and gone to bed. It's inconvenient to open the door. There's so much noise outside. Did something happen?"
"Miss?" Xiang'er heard Yun Qingzhi's voice and gave up her plan to open the door violently. "Prince An's Mansion said that there was a thief in their house and a lot of treasures were lost. Now they are trying to catch the thief."
"If something is lost in Prince An's Mansion, what does it have to do with our Prince Jin's Mansion?"
Yun Qingzhi probably knew that the person behind her who was holding her hostage was probably the thief that Prince An's Mansion was looking for.
"The prince said so too, but Prince An refused to give up, so the prince agreed to let him search the palace, but only with his company, and Prince An could not damage any plant or tree in Prince Jin's palace.
Otherwise, I will repay you a hundred times."
Xiang'er explained the whole story clearly, and also let the thieves who held her hostage behind her know her current situation.
"It seems like you can't run away."
Originally, it would have been difficult for the other party to escape unscathed if they were just the guards of Prince Jin's Palace. Now, if people from Prince An's Palace are also included, they might turn into mosquitoes and not be able to escape.
"If I can't run away, will you survive?"
Seeing that Yun Qingzhi finally understood her current situation, the man stopped putting the dagger on Yun Qingzhi's neck.
"Either help me leave, or find a place to hide me. I'll give you two options. Which one do you choose?"
Que Jinyu picked up the teapot in front of her and poured herself a glass of water. She slightly pulled down the black scarf on her face and took a sip of water.
Chaozong?!!!
Yun Qingzhi looked at the familiar face in front of her and her eyes widened.
Que Jinyu's face was originally covered by a piece of black cloth. Even though the cold peach blossom eyes made Yun Qingzhi feel familiar, she couldn't remember it.
Now Que Jinyu took the initiative to pull off some of the black cloth, and Yun Qingzhi recognized the person directly.
I really didn't expect that after returning from rebirth, I would meet my former friends on such an occasion.
But then again, why didn't she remember such a thing happening in her previous life? In her memory, Prince An's Mansion didn't seem to come to search for the thief.
Could it be that after her rebirth, her original trajectory deviated?
If this is the case, wouldn’t it be that she harmed Chaozong?!
