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

This day was Wen Yijun’s 33rd birthday.

Jiang Xue Ning specially changed into bright clothes and brought some good wine to celebrate his birthday happily.

He lived in a run-down courtyard in an alley, wore clothes that were washed bleached from fading from age, and worked as a carpenter.

"Brother Wen..."

Wen Yijun turned around in panic and saw her appear at the door with a flustered look. He put down the saw in his hand and asked, "Why is the princess here?"

Jiang Xue Ning suppressed the bitterness in her heart, shook the wine in her hand towards him and smiled brightly, "I'm here to celebrate your birthday."

Wen Yijun was in a daze for a moment, and then he realized that today was indeed his birthday.

In the past, I celebrated most of my birthdays at Gu’s house, with two large tables sitting around in a lively atmosphere. I would receive many gifts every year, and would also be teased by my fellow junior students.

He thought it was just normal at the time, but later it became the past he dreamed of returning to.

After the incident at the Gu family, he didn't dare to celebrate his birthday anymore and deliberately avoided it. It has been many years since he last celebrated his birthday.

"Come in quickly, the yard is in chaos."

He brought the best chairs and table to the yard, asked Jiang Xue Ning to sit down, and said awkwardly, "I don't have any good tea here, only chrysanthemum water, do you want some?"

"I can do it."

Qinghe specially ordered a table of delicious dishes from a nearby restaurant and asked the waiter to deliver it.

Jiang Xue Ning poured the wine herself, "Brother Wen, please sit down and eat. Don't be busy anymore."

"Hey…"

He sat down, and Jiang Xuening raised her glass to him, "Happy birthday, and may you be healthy forever."

Wen Yijun showed a vicissitudes of life smile on his face, and the two of them raised their heads to drink.

"I am no longer the person I used to be. I have been living here for many years, making a living by making furniture for the people nearby. My life is very miserable and down and out."

He looked at his hand dejectedly. The hand that used to hold a pen was not only missing a finger, but the fingertips were also covered with calluses.

Jiang Xue Ning said softly, "You are still alive and well, which is the best arrangement."

It doesn't matter if she is down and out, it doesn't matter if she is a coward, as long as she is still alive. She is more afraid that what is waiting for her is a pile of bones.

The two drank a few more cups, and Wen Yijun asked hesitantly, "Recently there are rumors in the capital that you are the destined queen..."

He was really afraid that she would make the same mistake again, and he would be unable to help her. After all, a scholar is useless, and he is not even a scholar anymore.

"I don't deserve the destiny, it's just a rumor."

Jiang Xue Ning comforted him and was unwilling to say more about this matter.

She came here for other things this time. She pushed a box to him and said, "If anything happens in Shengjing, leave here and find me at the address written inside."

Wen Yijun opened it and found silver bills and a brocade bag inside.

He finally accepted it because he wanted to start over.

He has lived like a walking corpse in the past few years, but now he wants to become stronger so that he can protect what he wants to protect and can no longer continue to live a life of drunkenness and dreams.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The meal lasted until sunset and a large pot of wine was finished.

Wen Yijun sent her to the door and suppressed his reluctance. "Be careful on the road and take care of yourself."

The setting sun shone on Jiang Xue Ning's face, making her eyes blind. She looked at him and said in a resounding voice, "If the imperial power is unjust, then subvert it. If you owe a blood debt, then pay it with your life, and repay blood with blood."

"The once amazing number one scholar is definitely more than this."

After saying this, she walked away into the sunset. She hoped that the former Wen Yijun would come back as a better version of herself.

Wen Yijun looked at her leaving back, and his blood began to boil again.

If you don't like the way the world is, then change it!

The carriage drove all the way to the palace and stopped at the door. Jiang Xue Ning got off the carriage and went in.

She didn't notice a black, colorful butterfly that followed her carriage all the way and followed her into the palace.

After drinking a cup of sobering soup, she returned to the study to deal with business as usual.

"Has Xiao Linfeng behaved strangely recently?"

Wu Jin said, "He has been concentrating on preparing for his wedding recently and seems very busy. The Xiao family is also very busy, with relatives and friends coming in every day, as well as their belongings for the wedding."

Jiang Xue Ning put down the account book in her hand and said, "This is a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

Jiang Li said worriedly, "He is a very cunning person. He is getting married soon, but I still can't figure out what he wants to do."

Sometimes the unknown is the most terrifying.

Jiang Xue Ning pondered for a while and said, "Arrange everything as soon as possible and start on the night before the wedding."

According to Xiling customs, the Xiao family will hold a small banquet on the night of the Flower Night and invite relatives and friends to a small gathering, and Xiao Linfeng will definitely be present.

All eyes and attention will be on the wedding the next day.

Jiang Li nodded, "The water is already muddy enough, it's a good idea to get out of it as soon as possible."

Jiang Xue Ning ordered Qing He Cai Yue, "Pack up the things you want to take away from the mansion in the next few days, and we will take the opportunity to evacuate when the time comes."

If Hua Yan's business wasn't so big that the money, grain, and medicinal herbs had to be shipped away in batches, she would have left long ago.

Shengjing is now full of dangers, and it is no longer a place for her to stay for long. As long as she leaves here, the world outside is huge, and he, Xiao Linfeng, is nothing.

Several people talked in the study until late at night, trying to make the plan rigorous and without loopholes, and then ended this night talk.

Jiang Li and Wu Jin both had things to do and had to leave the house overnight. Jiang Xue Ning's waist was stiff from sitting in the study, and as usual, she was going to walk around the yard before going to bed.

She was holding Qinghe's fat cat, walking aimlessly in the yard, emptying her mind.

A few black butterflies flew towards her, taking advantage of the perfect concealment of the night.

The fat cat cried out, and its fur instantly stood up. It stretched out its claws and grabbed the butterfly. Jiang Xue Ning also subconsciously turned around and dodged.

A butterfly as big as a fingernail bit Jiang Xue Ning's wrist in the chaos, but Jiang Xue Ning didn't even feel it.

A group of butterflies quickly flew away without a trace, and Jiang Xue Ning felt anxious.

Something is so wrong. Where did these butterflies come from in the middle of winter?

She held the fat cat in her arms and walked quickly to the yard where Bingtong lived. Bingtong was practicing illusion. When she heard the footsteps, she opened her eyes and looked at her pale face. "What happened?"

"I was walking in the yard just now when I encountered a group of butterflies. They appeared suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly."

"Butterfly…"

Bingtong looked out the window. It was winter outside, but seasonal species appeared in the middle of the night.

She walked over quickly, grabbed Jiang Xue Ning's left wrist, put it under the light, and saw a red dot as small as a needle tip.

Jiang Xue Ning's heart sank, "There is indeed something wrong with that group of butterflies."

Bing Tong's expression changed slightly, "This is Southern Xinjiang Gu Shu, it's troublesome."

Jiang Xue Ning suddenly felt dizzy. She bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to stay awake.

"Send me away immediately, take me to Qiushui Village."

She had heard of Southern Xinjiang witchcraft in her previous life. Since witchcraft was used, it was not as simple as just taking her life!
