After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

"Giggle, giggle, giggle..." Xiao Shujin laughed hoarsely, "Give me some water."

Jiang Xue Ning gestured to Bai Yu to pour a cup of warm water, then she took it and fed her personally, being very patient.

After drinking the water, Xiao Shujin leaned his head against the head of the bed and lost himself in memories.

"When I was four years old, a beautiful girl came to our house, and my stepmother and father had a fierce quarrel over this."

How could she, a four-year-old child, remember this incident so clearly? Because the woman was so stunningly beautiful that she could never forget her after seeing her once.

Moreover, her fate was changed because of it.

Although her mother was strict before she was four years old, she had a very gentle aunt. The aunt loved her very much and protected her under her wings. Children with mothers are treasures, and she did not live a bad life.

When the woman came to her house, my aunt was seriously ill. She would always remember that night when she knelt in her stepmother's yard, kowtowed again and again, until her forehead turned blue.

"Mother, please save my aunt!"

She cried helplessly and begged at the top of her lungs, but was ruthlessly driven away and scolded.

"Madam is in a bad mood and has a headache. If you have good sense, please don't cry here."

She was ruthlessly driven out, and when she stumbled back to the courtyard, her aunt had already died and turned into a cold corpse.

From then on, she became a motherless child, living like a weed. She grew up with difficulty and lived an extremely hard life.

Jiang Xue Ning asked curiously, "Who is that woman?"

She had investigated the Xiao family and found no woman who matched her description, which made it interesting.

Xiao Shujin snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "She is my father's concubine's daughter, ten years older than me. She rarely appears in the Xiao family and her whereabouts are mysterious."

She first saw her when she was six years old. For some reason, her stepmother was so kind that she wanted to take her under her name and bring her up by her side.

She had messy hair, wore tattered clothes and had a painted face. When she walked into her stepmother's room, she sat beside her like a little fairy.

Her stepmother said a lot of words to teach her that day, but she could no longer remember them.

But I still remember clearly that she walked up to her, handed her a peony flower, and a strange light reflected in her eyes.

"You are the phoenix I chose. Grow up well. I look forward to the day when you fly like a phoenix."

Xiao Shujin chuckled when he said this, "Looking back, I was just a tool chosen, and my life was already planned out for me."

"So, where did that woman come from?"

For a concubine's daughter to say such a thing, it was obviously a formality. And Xiao Shujin really ascended to the throne as she said.

This is terrible.

Xiao Shujin shook his head. "That was the last time I saw her. She was like a gust of wind, coming and going without a trace."

Jiang Xue Ning was not very satisfied with her answer. "This little information can't save your life. Who knows if this person really exists or you made it up."

"Her name is Qiluo."

"The Xiao family has been forced to retreat step by step by you. She will show up soon."

There are many strange things about that woman. She is still alive just to wait. If she shows up, maybe she can be saved.

She will never give up hope until the last moment!

The answer she got was unexpected, and Jiang Xue Ning took back the knife that was on her neck.

He touched her neck with his left hand to confirm the position.

Holding a thin blade in his right hand, he said coldly, "I don't know whether what you said is true or false, but the blood of the Gu family is real."

"what are you up to!"

Xiao Shujin's scream came to an abrupt end as the blade slashed her throat quickly and accurately.

Jiang Xue Ning kindly sprinkled her with hemostatic medicine, bandaged her up, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, you won't die, you just won't be able to speak from now on."

Now that she has asked about the Xiao family's secret, there is no need for her to say anything more. It will be better for everyone if she keeps her mouth shut forever.

Her limbs are now disabled and she cannot move. Her eyes are blind and her voice is hoarse, so she can only hear sounds.

"Bai Yu, go out first. I have something to say to her."

Bai Yu didn't know what to say to the blind and mute man, but he still went out obediently.

There were only two people left in the room. Jiang Xue Ning covered her face with her hands and laughed.

"Xiao Shujin, you deserve what you have now, because you betrayed the person who once truly treated you as a sister."

Xiao Shujin just twitched, unable to move or speak.

Jiang Xue Ning looked at her now, and she felt happy. She always believed in tit for tat, and there was no such thing as mercy.

Finally, she whispered in her ear, "Ajin, I'm back."

Xiao Shujin's body twitched wildly, and he twisted his neck as he moved closer to her, but when he looked at her, there were only two black holes in his eyes.

She had a lot of questions, but she couldn't say anything.

"Xiao Shujin, you should just live like a half-human and half-ghost to atone for your sins. This is what you deserve."

"Goodbye."

If there is a next life, they don't want to meet each other again. It's too tragic.

Jiang Xue Ning turned and left, and Xiao Shu Jin collapsed on the bed. Tears flowed from his already blind eyes.

Mingyue, are you back?

No one responded to her, she only heard the footsteps gradually fading away.

Suddenly I remembered that summer when they hid under a big tree in the corner of the yard and made a pinky promise to be good sisters for life.

Finally, I broke my promise...

Walking out of the inn, Jiang Xue Ning sighed inaudibly, "Let's go."

A group of people retreated from here overnight, and after walking for a while, Jiang Xue Ning suddenly turned back with a sense of something, and saw the direction of the inn was filled with flames that dyed half of the sky red.

Bai Yu couldn't help but wonder, "It shouldn't be our hands that started the fire, right?"

Wu Jin rolled his eyes at her, "Obviously there is another group of people who want to kill and silence the witnesses."

Jiang Xue Ning looked at the blazing fire and was silent for a long time before saying, "It must be very painful to be burned to death by the fire."

She wanted to spare Xiao Shujin's life and let her suffer. Unexpectedly, someone didn't want her to live.

"Not many people probably know that she was secretly sent to Yaoguang Temple."

Fortunately, Zhongqiu's news spread quickly and they acted quickly. Otherwise, some secrets would have to be taken into the coffin by Xiao Shujin.

After watching for a while, Jiang Xue Ning said, "Leave here quickly. It will be bad if we run into the other party."

Bai Yu couldn't help but guess, "Could it be someone from the Xiao family who did this?"

"Who knows..."

A group of people rushed to Beijing overnight, and after returning, they all caught up on their sleep. Jiang Xue Ning slept soundly for the whole day, and told Qing He to pay attention to the news outside.

As a result, no news came out about Xiao Shujin's death in the fire.

It was as if nothing had happened, her death did not cause any splash.

This is the ruthlessness of the royal family.

She whispered, "It's good to die."

Although it was a little different from what she expected, the anniversary of the Gu family's death would be in a few days, so she would just sacrifice her life for him.
