The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

Xie Liuzheng suspected that the so-called Ministry of Revenue's selection of silk was a trap set by Qin Guangjin for the Xie family, so she refused to come out to receive the guests. She asked Qiuyue to take out 100 taels of silver and gave it to the servant to pass on to the visitor.

?

"Just say that my wife is out of the house. I am young and ignorant, and I am afraid of offending the nobleman from the capital, so I dare not come out. This silver is for the nobleman to have a drink."

?

The servant took the silver and left.

?

Qiuyue muttered quietly: "He knew he was a liar, but he still gave him so much. Ten taels is already too cheap for him."

?

Chun Lian hesitated for a moment, and then explained to Xie Liuzheng in a soft voice, "Some things are better to be believed. It's only a hundred taels of silver. Miss can save it if she doesn't leak a little."

?

"If that person is really sent by the Ministry of Revenue, he can't find fault with us."

?

"If it's fake, just think of it as giving alms to a beggar. It doesn't matter."

?

Qiuyue came back to her senses and smiled with a red face, "You are really smart. I didn't think of so much."

?

Xie Liuzheng felt a little more impressed with Chun Lian and nodded at her with a smile.

?

Chun Lian's face turned red, she lowered her head and silently retreated to the corner, continuing to do needlework, as if she didn't exist.

?

The man in black got a reply from his subordinate and said in a deep voice, "Did you offend the Xie family with your words? Otherwise, with such a great benefit in front of them, the Xie family would definitely be tempted."

?

Given his status, even the servants and attendants around him were somewhat respectable in front of others, so it was understandable that they spoke more strongly.

?

The subordinate felt quite aggrieved, "My Lord, how dare I mess around and ruin your plan?"

?

"It must be that the Xie family girl is arrogant and ignorant of etiquette, and she is arrogant in front of my subordinates."

?

The man in black did not comment.

?

He doesn't care about the personalities of the women in the Xie family, but he must meet them in person.

?

After much thought, the most direct way is to go and find someone myself.

?

Of course, forcing in is not an option, so let's learn from our subordinates and go on a night visit.

?

Xie Liuzheng had lived two lives, but she was still just a young girl under twenty years old. She was disgusted by Qin Guangjin and Chen Baobao, and she felt a little afraid in her heart, but she didn't want to show it.

?

He has refused to leave the house for the past two days, and went to bed early at night. He did not even go to the Feng family, but only instructed the servants to pay their respects to the old lady every day.

?

I went to bed early that night as usual, and lay in bed unable to fall asleep, thinking about the new patterns for spring and summer.

?

Suddenly, he heard a slight sound of window frame, and he was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He sat up abruptly from the bed, secretly regretting not leaving Qiuyue and Chunlian to keep watch, otherwise he could have helped her to build up courage.

?

It's too late to regret now, and I can only try my best to save myself.

?

Remembering that Chunlian often put the needle and thread basket on the high table in the corner, which contained scissors for self-defense, he bravely walked over barefoot, trying not to make any noise.

?

Just when he was only one step away from reaching Gaoji, the window was opened from the outside.

?

Without giving it much thought, Xie Liuzheng rushed to the high table and grabbed the scissors in her hand. She knocked over the needle and thread basket, and needles and thread were scattered all over the floor.

?

Holding the scissors tightly in both hands, he shouted towards the window, "Who dares to break into a private house at night? Aren't you afraid of being punished by law?"

?

"If you leave quickly, I can pretend that nothing happened and I won't report you to the police."

?

A slender figure stood in front of the window, and it didn't look like he had any intention of rushing in.

?

I only heard the figure say in a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, Miss Xie, I'm not a bad person."

?

"I have no choice but to disturb Miss Xie so late at night."

?

Xie Liuzheng did not let down his guard because of the man's words. A bad person would never admit that he is a bad person.

?

Instead, they claim to be good people.

?

The man was able to break into a girl's bedroom at night and yet he dared to say that he was not a bad person. I'm afraid he must be stupid and use such a clumsy lie to deceive her.

?

You cannot show weakness in front of bad guys, otherwise they will see it as an opportunity and become even more unscrupulous.

?

Although Xie Liuzheng was panicking and scared, with cold sweat on his back, he did not show it on the surface and shouted sternly, "I don't care what your reasons are. Breaking into a private house at night is against the law."

?

"If you don't leave, I'll call someone to beat you to death on the spot without breaking the law."

?

Seeing that Xie Liuzheng didn't give him a chance to speak, the man in black jumped in from the window in desperation.

?

Xie Liuzheng was so frightened that she screamed, "Don't come over here!"

?

"Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"

?

The man in black stepped forward to cover her mouth, but Xie Liuzheng bit him on the tiger's mouth. He had to pinch her chin with his other hand to make her let go.

?

Xie Liuzheng was in so much pain that tears were streaming down her face, but she didn't dare to let him go. She stabbed him with the scissors in her hand...

?

After some chaos, the man in black finally managed to temporarily subdue Xie Liuzheng.

?

"I really have no ill intentions, otherwise do you think you can stop me with a pair of scissors?"

?

Xie Liuzheng panted and glared at him, suddenly feeling that he looked familiar.

?

"You...are you the young master in the restaurant?"

?

Speaking of restaurants, the man in black had an idea and pulled Xie Liuzheng to the window. He saw her face clearly in the moonlight and felt like scratching his head.

?

"It's me. I didn't expect you to be the lady in the restaurant."

?

Although Xie Liuzheng recognized that the man in black was the benefactor who helped her get Qin Guangjin and others away from the restaurant and preserved her reputation.

?

However, she still felt uneasy about the man in black breaking into her bedroom at night.

?

"I am asking someone to find out the whereabouts of my benefactor. If you want to see me, just tell me. Why come in the middle of the night..."

?

After all, he was her savior, so Xie Liuzheng didn't feel comfortable saying anything harsh.

?

The man in black also knew that his behavior was wrong, and he cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment. "I have something I want to ask you for help with, but time is running out, so I have to resort to this last resort."

?

Xie Liuzheng lit the candle and asked the man in black to sit down. "If you have any questions, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

?

"You don't have to do anything, just say a few words." The man in black sat down opposite Xie Liuzheng and took the tea she handed him but didn't drink it. "The heir of the former Imperial Hospital Doctor Pei is now your retainer. I want to ask him to help me prepare a medicine. I hope you can help me persuade him."

?

Xie Liuzheng got the point. Mr. Pei must have rejected the black-clothed man's request, which is why he came to her.

?

After considering for a moment, he rejected the black-clad man's request.

?

"Since you know Mr. Pei's identity, I will speak directly to you. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

?

"Mr. Pei has no intention of getting involved in power struggles. He just wants to practice medicine and save the world. I cannot but respect his own opinion."

?

The man in black clenched his hands on the table and said, "Miss Xie, I don't mean to force you, but... this medicine is very important to me. I hope Miss Xie can understand."

?

It wasn't that Xie Liuzheng didn't want to repay the black-clothed man's kindness, but knowing Mr. Pei's previous experience in the Imperial Hospital, she couldn't bear to make things difficult for him.
