The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

"You're here too?" He suddenly remembered the person on the roof just now, "Were you the one on the roof just now?"

Tang Zhongbai nodded in acknowledgment.

"You...?" She wanted to ask him why he came here, but thinking about how he and Xu Da had recently discussed something behind her back, she held back. She didn't want to interfere in their affairs.

"This is not the place to talk. You come with me."

Tang Zhongbai took her to the back alley, where a carriage was waiting for him.

The driver was an unfamiliar boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old. He didn't say much. After they all got in, the carriage slowly left the alley.

The carriage drove onto the avenue and headed north of the city.

"Where are we going?" Jiang Muxia lifted the car curtain and asked in confusion.

Tang Zhongbai leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't sell you out."

Seeing his indifferent look, Jiang Muxia shut up and didn't say anything more.

The carriage fell silent, with only the rumbling sound of the wheels as the carriage moved through the darkness.

Jiang Muxia leaned against the window, looking at the closed shops and the empty streets. The winter night wind was exceptionally cold, and it felt like a knife cutting her face. She was lost in her thoughts for a long time, unable to come back to her senses. The pain of the cold wind blowing on her face was nothing compared to the pain of her skin.

While she was in a daze, she was suddenly pulled back by a pair of hands and the car window in front of her was closed.

"It's too cold." Tang Zhongbai said, "Sit down, we'll be there soon."

Jiang Muxia looked at him and said nothing.

Her body swayed with the carriage, and she soon became drowsy.

Half asleep and half awake, I felt my head leaning against one shoulder and a soft and thick blanket covering my body.

Then she fell asleep. In her dream, she felt so warm and comfortable, as if she was in a cradle, rocking gently, and someone patting her back.

Suddenly, the cradle stopped, and in a daze she heard a call, followed by a very soft "hush" sound in her ear.

She sat up with a start, and the blanket covering her fell to the ground.

Was she held in his arms just now? Jiang Muxia only hated herself for not being alert enough. How could she fall asleep?

So embarrassing.

She covered her face with her hands and whispered, "We're already here, why didn't you wake me up?"

The man smiled and said gently, "Why should I wake you up?"

Jiang Muxia was furious. She ignored him, lifted the car curtain and jumped out.

In front of me was a family with two lanterns hanging in front of the door. The two yellow lights seemed a bit warm in the winter. The black painted door was closed tightly, and there were three big characters carved on the stone above the door: Nursery.

She was shocked. Why did Tang Zhongbai bring her here? Was Xu Da so open-hearted to him?

Tang Zhongbai then got out of the car, walked to the door, and knocked three times gently.

There were footsteps inside, and then the door opened with a bang. An old woman smiled and said, "We have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."

Although Jiang Muxia had doubts, she guessed 80% of it. This place was far from the county town, quiet and unnoticed, making it the best place to discuss things.

These two people must have often met here to discuss matters.

She followed Tang Zhongbai, walked along the corridor, passed many small courtyards, turned left and right, and came to the gate of a courtyard.

This courtyard has its own entrance and is as big as the three or four small courtyards in front. Under the light, these courtyards all look the same, with blue bricks and black tiles.

It seems that Xu Da was very wealthy, as there were not many houses made of this material in Suanzao County.

There is a plaque hanging in the yard with the words "Qingyi Gate" written on it.

Qingyi Sect? What kind of organization is that? She had never heard of this name in her two lifetimes.

"You'll know soon. Come in first." Tang Zhongbai pushed open the half-open door and walked in without explaining.

Jiang Muxia followed him into a lighted room in the east wing with suspicion.

The door opened, and a wave of hot air rushed in. Xu Da sat in front of the stove and looked at the two of them with a smile, "Come on, come and warm yourself."

"I'm surprised that you can come, sister." Xu Da lifted the stove cover with an iron hook, shoveled charcoal into the stove with a shovel, and closed the lid.

Tang Zhongbai pulled over two stools, handed one to Jiang Muxia, and sat down next to Xu Da.

"Tell me, what hatred do you have with Ping Luo that makes you insist on biting him?" Tang Zhongbai said seriously.

"I wouldn't let go of him?" Jiang Muxia's face darkened. "Don't judge without knowing the whole story."

These two are really...

"We checked. He has a wife and a daughter. They left him three years ago for unknown reasons. He later ran to the county and followed a group of hooligans. As long as they were paid, they would do all kinds of bad things." Tang Zhongbai said, "Since a year ago, every nine-character day, a woman would come to his residence to find him, and sometimes a girl would accompany him. Recently, the woman seems to be pregnant, and she comes less often than before."

Tang Zhongbai stared at her and said, "Based on other people's descriptions, I guess the woman and the girl should be a mother and daughter. Considering your attitude towards Ping Luo, they should be your second aunt and her daughter, right?"

"You guessed right." Jiang Muxia nodded in confirmation, "They will have to pay the price for their actions."

Fang Lanxiang went there again and again, and returned home radiantly every time. It was self-evident what they had done.

"Is there a possibility that the mother and daughter were coerced by Ping Luo?"

"So, my uncle deserves it?"

The room was quiet for a long time, with only the crackling sound of burning charcoal in the stove.

"Sister, are you having troubles? You can tell us and we can help you." Ever since he first saw her, Xu Da felt that this teenage girl had an indelible resentment in her eyes and eyebrows, and there was a ruthlessness in her every move.

He couldn't understand what had happened to this peasant girl living in the village that made her become like this?

"Okay, I'll tell you." Jiang Muxia told her in detail what Jiang Hongxing had done to her, her mother's disdain and her aunt's bullying.

"I don't want to put them to death. Since they betrayed the second master, just leave my house." There was still hatred in Jiang Muxia's eyes. There were some things she couldn't say.

She wanted to elicit from Jiang Hongxing the real murderer who killed her family of three in her previous life.

"Tell us your plan and we'll help you."

She didn't want to involve the two of them, as it might cause them trouble.

"Don't worry, we won't show up." As if he saw what she was thinking, Tang Zhongbai spoke up to remind her and dispel her worries.

"Actually, there's no need. I've found someone to help me." She felt that she was still quite lucky. Sleepiness had given her Hu Xiaoxin, a big pillow. It was impossible for her to do it herself. She wanted to retain the last bit of dignity for the second uncle.

"Brother, just lend me one person. It has to be someone I don't know, but someone who's a little smart." During the conversation, she had already figured out a brilliant plan.

"Okay. When will it be used?"

"In three days."
