After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

"The girl is awake."

As the words fell, the sound of footsteps came from far to near.

The thick curtains were raised, and the dim light slipped in and shone in front of my eyes. Two more lights jumped out and flickered on in front of the bed.

"What time is it now?" Pei Jiaoran asked.

"At noon. It's great that you're awake. Those clerks in the yamen are making trouble outside every day, clamoring to see you."

Listening to Bi Fei's voice, Pei Jiaoran's eyes showed surprise. Repeatedly chewing on the words "yamen" and "clerk", he suddenly closed his eyes and lifted the curtain to relieve the discomfort of the sudden bright room.

Bi Fei was replying. A pale hand reached out from the curtain and pushed aside the bed curtain.

The candlelight reflected on Pei Jiaoran's face. Bi Fei looked at her obscure and as heavy as a deep pool of eyes. His heart tightened and he quickly asked: "Girl?"

She didn't respond. He got out of bed straight away, walked around Bi Fei and walked to the dressing table in front of the window to sit down. Staring at the face in the mirror, there was a bit of coldness in the peach blossom eyes.

"What is the current reign name of the imperial court?"

"Ten years of Changle... what's wrong with you, girl?"

Listening to Bi Fei's urgent voice, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes. An idea came to mind, based on the current situation. She should be like the characters in those story books, reborn and returned to the past.

After putting his thoughts away, Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but sneer. I thought I would be on the road to hell with nothing to worry about. Unexpectedly, God actually gave her a chance to live again.

He stroked the peony pattern engraved on the dowry with his fingers. Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes, revealing sarcasm.

In her previous life, she accidentally fell into a trap and was imprisoned until her death. No Qingliu party came to rescue her. Maybe they had abandoned her long ago. So in the final analysis, she still chose the wrong path...

What about this life? She needs to take the situation into her own hands and never depend on anyone again.

"It's nothing." Looking at Bi Fei behind him through the mirror, Pei Jiaoran said softly: "I just woke up, so I'm inevitably a little confused. What are those officials doing?"

"It's not about taxes. None of them agreed with the plan you proposed before." Bi Fei said dissatisfied.

Looking at the indignant Bi Fei, Pei Jiaoran curled his lips and said, "Call them to the government office to discuss matters."

"Girl, you just woke up. Do you want to rest for a while and call them back a few days later?"

"No. Call them now."

"Here."

Seeing Bi Fei leaving, Pei Jiaoran got up and walked to the window. Looking out the window, her crimson lips pursed into a straight line.

According to her memory, the imperial court was worried about Guanlong's military expenses at this time. In order to avoid trouble, the Ministry of Household Affairs left the entire matter to Jinchang County.

In her previous life, she failed to handle the matter well, which caused a civil uprising, and she was implicated as a result. This incident also became a reason for others to manipulate her, causing her to be restricted in her behavior. In this life, she must hold this matter in her hands and no longer be controlled by others.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran walked to the writing desk and wrote a "County Magistrate's Commandment" according to the handwriting on the writing desk.

Just as she put down her pen, she heard Bi Fei's voice coming from outside, "Girl, they're here. Ah..." She paused, "Li Shi, why are you here?"

The words "Li Cishi" came to his ears, and Pei Jiaoran's eyes showed surprise. She almost forgot that the current governor of Guazhou is Li Xiujing.

Thinking of the last time he saw Li Xiujing in his previous life, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips slightly, as if he had an idea.

"I know, I'll be right away." After saying that, Pei Jiaoran took out his official uniform from the cabinet and put it on.

Looking at the light green robe on his body, Pei Jiaoran shook his head. I haven't worn a light green robe for several years, so I feel a little uncomfortable. I don’t know how long it will take for her to wear purple clothes in this life. After taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open and walked out.

I saw a man in scarlet robe standing not far away with his hands behind his back. He turned around after hearing the noise and just looked at her.

The hands in his sleeves clenched and unclenched, and Pei Jiaoran bowed and said, "I'm going to pay my respects to Li Jishi."

"Are you feeling better?" Li Xiujing strode towards her with a smile on her lips, "Thank you for your help earlier."

Seeing Li Xiujing coming over, Pei Jiaoran subconsciously took a step back, "Thank me? I'll be the official..."

Carefully studying Li Xiujing's expression, Pei Jiaoran glanced at Bi Fei from the corner of his eye. My mind was rapidly calculating various possible things that might happen.

"Girl. That day, Governor Li was ambushed by Tubo outside the city. It was you who saved him." Bi Fei looked at the two of them with a smile. "Chief Li has been visiting you often these days."

Pei Jiaoran heard this and said ashamedly: "Xia Guan is dizzy due to illness and does not remember this matter. I hope the governor will forgive me. We have something to discuss with the Yamen. Can the governor please join us?"

After saying that, she bowed respectfully to Li Xiujing and said "please" again.

Deliberately half a step behind Li Xiujing, Pei Jiaoran pursed her red lips in a sharp arc. If what Bi Fei said was true, why would she go to save Li Xiujing? Her temperament was inappropriate. Is it possible that if we live again, everything will change?

The two of them had already reached the front yard.

At this time, there were only a few people sitting in the county hall, drinking tea with their heads down, looking up at the door from time to time.

Stepping onto the verandah, Pei Jiaoran looked at the public house in front of him and walked quickly over. The officials who greeted her seemed startled by her and quickly saluted and said hello.

"Ming Mansion, are you awake?" The official looked around and was startled when he saw Li Xiujing. He moved back and said respectfully: "I'm a humble official, go in and call the police."

After he finished speaking, Pei Jiaoran grabbed him and said warmly: "What's the rush? Let's go in together."

She remembered that Li Zuo was the county magistrate's spy, used to keep an eye on her behavior. At this moment, he clearly wanted to inform someone, how could she let him do so?

Entering the main hall, Pei Jiaoran glanced at the public rooms on the east and west sides.

Seeing that Pei Jiaoran didn't move, the official quickly shouted: "The Ming Mansion is coming, why don't you come out quickly."

Looking at Li Zuo, Huan Zhan's eyes flashed with displeasure.

Hearing the sound, all the staff members swarmed out from the public rooms on the east and west sides, looking at Pei and Li in astonishment. It seems that he can't believe that these two people are actually getting together.

Glancing at the staff, Pei Jiaoran quickly recalled the official positions of these people in his mind. Her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, covering up the flash of sharp light.

Thinking of it, Pei Jiaoran bowed to make way for him and Li Xiujing sat on either side of the main seat.

Looking at the staff with a smile, Pei Jiaoran curled his lips and said, "Everyone, sit down. Why are there just you, and where are the others?"

"Aren't you sick? There are so many things in the yamen that the lower officials cannot handle alone. Cui Xiancheng and Chief Secretary Gao have to bear a lot of burden. Who would have thought that they were also sick yesterday, so they would have to take leave."

The person who answered was County Lieutenant Li Qian.

Catching the disdain in Li Qian's eyes, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and sneered.

sick? She didn't think so. Those two people were clearly setting up a score for her and wanted to force her to come to thank them in person. As for Li Qian, it was really interesting to praise his own achievements in one sentence and remind her not to forget the achievements of others.

"I have been ill for the past few days. I have worked hard for Li County Lieutenant and all of you." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile. As he spoke, he took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and placed it on the desk. "I thought about the plan I drew up before, and there was something wrong with it. Lieutenant Li, I heard that you have drawn up a new plan?" "
