I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

The man looked confused, his speech was unclear and his accent was strange, like someone from a previous era.

"Sir, are you okay?" For a moment, Manzhu Shahua thought she had encountered a scammer, but seeing that he was in the lake and in prison at one moment, he didn't look like someone who wanted to cheat people out of money.

But he doesn't look like a human being at all, and I always feel that he is not mentally normal.

And seeing how weak he was, it felt like he was going to vomit blood in the next second.

"It's okay - cough cough!" Just as he was thinking this, the man who looked very old coughed up a large mouthful of blood mixed with sand, which looked very miserable no matter how he looked at it.

"Cheer up! Do you want to find a place to rest?" Manjushage softened her heart for a moment and grabbed his hand, wanting to send him to a nearby village.

As a result, the other party suddenly withdrew his hand cautiously, and said calmly: "No, no, I still need to find someone. Thank you, beautiful lady, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he dragged his tired body away, leaving only the red spider lily behind.

"What was that just now--" Manjushage looked at her trembling hands, still feeling frightened.

There seemed to be a special mark on the man's arm, but that was not the point. The key point was that the moment he vigilantly pulled back his hand, there seemed to be something in his eyes.

His eyes seemed to have some kind of magic, making Manjushage feel that her body became extremely heavy, and she kept falling, finally sinking into the cold and deep seabed.

In a blink of an eye, she found that the other party had already left. It took her a long time to react. After sitting in the carriage, she was still muttering to herself: "Was that an illusion just now?"

For some reason, the mark I saw just now looked familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.

I'll check it out when I get back.

The Peters family lived not too far away and could be reached quickly by carriage.

But when Manjushage arrived at the door and wanted to go in, she was stopped by the guards.

"Stop, who are you?" The guard's tone was serious, but his eyes were frivolous. The beauty of Lycoris radiata is such that any man would have obscene thoughts when seeing it.

"Manjushage Starflower, I'm here at the invitation of Miss Olivia." She handed the letter with the Peters family seal to the guard.

"It turns out...it's Miss Manjusaka. How disrespectful." Upon hearing that it was the eldest daughter of the Xingchenhua family, the guards immediately put away their casual attitude. They took on a working attitude and carefully checked the envelope.

"There is nothing wrong with the letter, but we haven't received any notification that Miss Manjusawa will be coming. Could you please wait a moment and let Miss Olivia come to confirm?" The guard's tone was very worried.

Normally, the guards couldn't remember everyone's information and would let the letter go as long as they confirmed the seal on it was correct. But now they were tense and it seemed like something big had happened.

It’s no wonder. After all, Olivia’s victory is a foregone conclusion. Now is the important cleanup phase. Even the guards know that the situation is tense and they can’t let anyone go at will.

Manjushage had no intention of making things difficult for a small worker. She brought a coachman with her this time, and her presence was so simple that it seemed like she was delivering goods door-to-door, so it was inevitable that she would be suspected.

If she hadn't been dressed decently and hadn't had outstanding looks and temperament, she would have been chased away long ago.

Not long after, Olivia came out with her maid to greet them in person: "Ms. Manjusaka, you are finally here, please come in!"

Her smile was very bright and she exuded full of energy. She must be feeling relaxed and happy after getting her revenge by throwing her aunt who killed her parents and bullied her into the mountains.

"Honestly, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to beat Donna and my aunt. Oh, you don't know yet, but my aunt is actually my enemy. She did a lot of bad things before..."

As soon as she sat down, Olivia talked incessantly about her experiences during this period.

When talking about hatred, there was no dissatisfaction on his face: "They are so stupid. They didn't realize that they had fallen into our trap until they were about to die. I was actually bullied by such people. What was I thinking before? In fact, I am the big fool, right?"

After saying that, she laughed out loud at herself.

"This period of time has been like a dream. I dare not imagine how difficult the future would be without Miss Manjusaka's help." Olivia's eyes sparkled and her tone was full of gratitude.

"Even without me, you can still win this victory beautifully." Manjushage thought to herself.

"By the way, have you encountered any trouble?" She took out the letter and was about to discuss Grusel's matter, but she heard Olivia exclaim.

"How did this letter come to be in your possession?"

"Didn't you send it to me?" Manjushage also felt strange. Judging from Olivia's reaction, the letter was indeed written by her, but why was she so surprised?

"I did write this letter, but I clearly remember sending another letter." Olivia took the envelope from Manjushage and said, "Can I open it and take a look?"

"Please go ahead. It was you who wrote it anyway." Manjushage said with a smile.

Olivia opened the envelope and looked at it for a while, her expression becoming increasingly strange.

"What's wrong?" Manjushage asked worriedly.

"It is indeed that letter. The content has not changed at all, but the one I sent out should be a different one." She found a letter from the room: "It should be this one."

The envelopes are different, and the contents should also be different. The only thing that is the same is the seal of the Peters family.

Could it be that Grussell secretly swapped the two letters?

Moreover, he blatantly left traces of magic to attract Lycoris radiata.

Olivia's explanation also confirmed this point: "The letter you received was the first one I wrote. It just briefly described the recent situation, but later I vaguely felt that something was wrong, so I wrote another letter and specifically stated that if you still have doubts about the current situation like me, don't come."

She said with some frustration: "Now it seems that you came here because you noticed something unusual."

When she saw the Lycoris radiata at the door just now, she breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she had been worrying too much.

But now it seems that they have completely fallen into someone else's trap.

Moreover, the letters sent out were replaced without anyone noticing, which might pose certain risks.

No, to be more specific, something was wrong with Olivia.

"Now that I'm here, I'll help you take a look at the situation." Perhaps because she had fallen into Grusel's trap too many times, Manjusaka simply gave up resisting and decided to see what she wanted to do by going to so much trouble to find her.

"I hope I'm wrong." Although Olivia has a keen intuition like the heroine who can predict the direction of the plot, she lacks clear clues and can only accept the current situation: "Anyway, things here are basically settled, there won't be any danger."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came hurriedly to report: "Miss Olivia, Donna's whereabouts were found."
