Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

She tossed and turned tonight, unable to fall asleep. She tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, as if only in this way could she feel a little at ease.

For some reason, when she was in this room, she seemed to see the scene of Jiang Qingyu and her mother, who were once happy, and their happiness being crushed and buried once again. She felt the pain repeatedly and could not get rid of it.

No matter how she closed her eyes and covered her ears, the impactful sounds and images almost broke her heart.

She even began to question herself whether this was Jiang Qingyu's nightmare or her nightmare, and she could no longer tell the difference.

Early in the morning, she got up, washed and had her meal.

Although the maids did not treat her with excessive respect, they at least regarded her as the owner of the Jiang Mansion and only talked about and attacked her behind her back.

These evil words were deeply engraved in her heart. To her, she could execute them anytime and anywhere, but there was no need to do so.

The maids brought potted plants and planted them in the courtyard as she wished.

"Daughter, what are you busy with?" Jiang Zhuo walked in from outside.

The disgust she felt when she saw him was like a stone stuck in her throat, making it hard to swallow, and it eventually turned into a timid and fearful smile.

She gripped the tool tightly in her hand and leaned forward slightly, "Dad."

"No need to be so polite, my daughter." Jiang Zhuo helped her up with a smile on his face. "What are you doing?"

She pursed her lips, fearing that some action would anger Jiang Zhuo, "Plant flowers."

"My aunt said I could arrange it as I pleased."

Jiang Zhuo smiled comfortably, "Of course, this is your garden."

Qing Yu nodded as if he understood, "Father, is there something you want me to come back for?"

"Nothing, Dad just wanted to..."

"Is it because of the death of the Governor of Zhongzhou?" she spoke first.

Jiang Zhuo lowered his brows, his expression changed slightly, he waved his hand, and withdrew the maids from the courtyard.

"What else do you know?"

"Someone from the palace came to Huanxiang Pavilion and was stopped. I guess His Majesty is asking about this matter."

"You are right. His Majesty has doubts. Therefore, you cannot stay in Huanxiang Pavilion for the time being. It is very dangerous for both your father and you." Jiang Zhuo no longer concealed his intention to let her return.

"Father is worried? Doesn't His Majesty trust Father?" she asked expressing her doubts.

Jiang Zhuo smiled calmly, knowing full well that "no matter how much an emperor trusts his subjects, he will not take risks with his own power."

"Okay, you can stay in the mansion for the time being. If you have nothing to do, go and accompany your aunt."

She bowed her head and accepted the order, "Yes, father."

Obviously Jiang Zhuo didn't want to spend too much time discussing this matter with her.

Not long after Jiang Zhuo left, the next uninvited guest arrived.

He kicked over the potted plant she was tending to because Qingyu didn't notice him first.

"Brother." She bowed her head slightly, and the panic that could not be concealed appeared on her face.

"You don't even know how to greet your brother?"

Jiang Mo's arrogance and conceit in his words and deeds were truly inherited from his father.

He was naturally dissatisfied with Qing Yu's attitude, "What? Have you forgotten what to do when you see your brother?"

She just lowered her head without any reaction.

Jiang Mo was immediately furious and twisted her collar, "Jiang Qingyu! I think you've been out there for too long, you've become more capable, right?!"

She gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, I don't think Dad asked me to come back to vent his anger on you. If you have any resentment, go find Dad and tell him!"

"You!" Jiang Mo clenched his fist, indicating that he was going to hit her in the face.

Just a few words, but they hit Jiang Mo's sore spot.

Everything that happened recently was related to Jiang Qingyu. Father's mind was on her and he even told him not to bully her. Even mother said the same thing!

He is clearly a waste! He can actually crawl out of the pit!

"Ha!" Jiang Mo sneered and let go of her. "You are so brave, Jiang Qingyu! You are so brave!"

"Just live in the house where your mother lived and live a peaceful life!" These insidious and malicious words were meant to provoke and mock her.

It reminded her of her mother's death, and of the garden that she had once humbly abandoned and yet failed to keep.

Ridiculous fate brought her back to this courtyard once again, but everything was different.

……

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiang has brought Miss Jiang back to the Jiang Mansion." He Yixiang reported to Xiao Yanzhou.

"Hmph, it's really timely." Xiao Yanzhou, holding the memorial in his hand, snorted coldly.

He leaned lazily in his seat, "Find a reason to visit Xiaoyu in two days to confirm whether Jiang Zhuo treated her badly."

"Yes." He Yi responded quickly.

"I'm not asking you to go. Xiao Yu has seen you. Eunuch Li, you go."

The eunuch Li who was named looked confused, "Your Majesty, are you asking me to go see Miss Jiang?"

"Yes, see if she is doing well and don't let your intentions be discovered." He reminded her again. It goes without saying how harsh Jiang Zhuo is on her.

But Xiao Yu never said a word to condemn Jiang Zhuo. Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly.

Maybe he didn't know Xiaoyu well enough, or maybe Xiaoyu didn't believe him.

"He Yi, remember what I asked you to investigate." Xiao Yanzhou reminded again.

"Your Majesty, I found a clue today."

"explain."

"The person behind Miss Jiang seems to be related to Prince Xiao." He Yi raised his head slightly and paid attention to His Majesty's expression.

Xiao Yanzhou stared at the memorial without looking up. "It is well known that Prince Xiao and Jiang Zhuo are fighting overtly and covertly. It's not surprising that he wants to find something to hold against Jiang Zhuo, but..."

Having said this, he put down the memorial with a bit of sadness, "I hope Xiao Yu will not become a victim of their fight."

We knew what happened between Jiang Zhuo and Xiao Yanqing before. Jiang Qingyu survived because someone rescued him, so he took the opportunity to hide in Huanxiang Pavilion. As for the person behind the scenes...

Whether he was killed by Xiao Yanqing, or is in Jiang Zhuo's hands, or maybe he escaped, I'm afraid only Xiao Yu knows.

Suddenly, almost a month passed.

For Qing Yu, these twenty days were like a year. She felt more and more that the Jiang Mansion was the road to hell, and it was impossible to predict what would happen on the road. In comparison, Xiao Yanqing's mansion was a free cloud, and hell and heaven were decided by her.

During this period of time, except for the first two days after she returned, the eunuch Li from the palace came to announce some important matters and specifically asked everyone to meet. Apart from that, no one else had come. She also could not leave according to Jiang Zhuo's request.

Jiang Mo would come to bother her every few days, and the maids would also obey Jiang Mo and bother her from time to time, but fortunately it was just small chores like washing clothes, cooking and cleaning.

Shen Han would often come to chat with me, seemingly caring and friendly, but in fact he was just trying to get to know me.

She learned from Shen Han that the governor of Zhongzhou who had been rumored to have died recently had behaved improperly and committed favoritism and corruption, so the matter of his murder was temporarily put on hold.

In addition, the murderer was sent at night and did not leave any strong evidence, so it is almost impossible to catch him.

She was also killing time during these seemingly boring days. If Jiang Zhuo thought that she was just being obedient, then she was really stupid.
