In the dark secret room, the old man's leg bones were smashed, and he lay on the ground like a puddle of mud, his hair was gray, and his eyes were shining brightly in the night...

"Squeak." A mouse crawled past him. The paralyzed old man became agile in an instant. He grabbed the mouse and bit off its head. He kept chewing it in his mouth, and blood dripped from the corners of his lips. He was like a devil, a monster living in the darkness.

Soon, several footsteps were heard around, and the dark tomorrow suddenly became bright...

"Uncle Zhong, I didn't expect you were still alive."

Xiao Yi was holding a lantern in his hand. Under the dim candlelight, his originally decent face looked like a ghost.

After being locked in the dark for a long time, Uncle Zhong blinked and said dully after a long while: "Prince..."

"Ah……"

Xiao Yi chuckled and said, "Uncle Zhong, I have inherited the title now. You should call me Marquis."

"Hou...Houye?"

Having not spoken for a long time, the old man's tongue had degenerated and he made unclear sounds in his throat.

Xiao Yi looked at the old man in such a miserable state, and a hint of pleasure flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, my father died, and I inherited the title of Yong'an Marquis. I have said long ago that all of this should be mine! So, do you regret now that you had to hunt down Ye Nan and her daughter, causing us to be separated for many years?"

He looked at Uncle Zhong, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

Uncle Zhong was an old servant in the Marquis's mansion. He was loyal to him and was like half a father to him.

But he should never, ever, obey the old marquis's order and hunt down Ye Nan...

Uncle Zhong's perception of the outside world had already degenerated, but when he heard Ye Nan's name, he instantly became excited: "She is not a good person. She will kill the prince and harm the entire mansion."

"You still don't repent until now!"

Xiao Yi kicked Uncle Zhong in hatred, causing the old man who had been under house arrest in the secret room for many years to spit out blood. However, Xiao Yi looked at him coldly, "Ye Cheng'an was executed back then. Ye Nan was just a weak woman, an orphan and a widow with my child, struggling to survive in Jiangnan. What could she do? You didn't even give her a chance to live."

"Uncle Zhong, you should have died long ago for what you did to them. You know why I spared your life... Where did you hide the secret letter?"

Xiao Yi bent down, and his face, which was three-quarters similar to the old marquis, looked even more hideous and distorted under the candlelight.

But Uncle Zhong's eyes were dull and his expression was distracted. His gray beard was mixed with blood of some kind, and the smell was disgusting. He murmured, "She is not a good person..."

"She deserves to die..."

Xiao Yi's eyes flashed with annoyance. He knew that this old guy was very stubborn at first, but later he was tortured and almost went crazy. Five years ago, he was exiled to Jingzhou, so he was transferred to the side yard of the Xiao family. This place was very safe.

Some time ago, he was closely watched by Lin Xun and did not dare to have any contact with him. But now, starting from the day at Wenyuan Pavilion, Kyoto has started to stir up old events from the previous emperor's time. Today, Lin Shaoshu also mentioned the secret letter, which made Xiao Yi even more uneasy.

He must get this thing!

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and said, "Whether you are really crazy or pretending to be crazy, I am determined to get that thing, and..."

"I came here today to tell you something great. I found that child a long time ago, and now...it's time for her to return to her roots. As for what Xie's mother and daughter owed them, I will compensate them one by one."

But Uncle Zhong did not respond to Xiao Yi's words, saying: "She deserves to die..."

"Damn..."

Seeing that Uncle Zhong still didn't respond, Xiao Yi felt bored and frowned before leaving.

He secretly thought that this place was not a very safe place, and he would have to be moved again after the family reunion banquet was over tomorrow.

At this time, Xiao Yi didn't know that after they left, two figures appeared in the empty secret room...

……

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

Ye Jin moved back to Zhuijinxuan, but he couldn't sleep on this soft bed with a high pillow...

She came to this world five years ago, in the body of a dying child with the same name as her, Ye Jin.

The child was carrying a medicine basket and was covered in wounds. He was the lowest class of refugees in ancient times, but he had a very valuable jade pendant. With many years of experience, Ye Jin knew that the original owner's identity was not simple.

The next day, an adult took her to a very luxurious house and asked her to take care of a lady as a female doctor.

That is Xie.

Ye Jin did not know any medical skills, but Aunt Cui, who had been taking care of her, brought a bottle of elixir, and soon Xie's illness was cured. She became Xie's savior and was adopted as the adopted daughter of Marquis Yong'an.

Gradually, she got a lot of information about this world from Aunt Cui, and also learned that the master of this dynasty was named Lin. Most of the royal family of the Lin family died young. In addition, the secret love between Emperor Zhaohui, Empress Xiao, and the Regent was also well-known to later generations...

In the first year, she became familiar with this world, became the apple of the eye of Xiao Yi and his wife, hid the letters for help from Kyoto about Xiao Xuetang, and became their only daughter; in the second year, under the guidance of Aunt Cui, she met some people from Kyoto.

She then realized that her biological mother was not dead and had been in Kyoto. It was just that for some reason, her mother could not see her for the time being.

In the third year, she began to show her talent, doing business in Jingzhou under the name of Xiao Yi, and killing Aunt Cui...

She was not the original owner. Aunt Cui had been with her the longest. She discovered something abnormal about her and prepared to write a letter back to Kyoto to inform her.

It was her first time killing someone, but it wasn't as difficult as she had imagined.

She was a daughter of a wealthy family, and Aunt Cui was just a servant. She just needed to find an excuse to let Aunt Cui encounter bandits.

From then on, she became the real Ye Jin, mastered the way to contact her mother in Kyoto, and thrived in this era.

She has a broader vision than the women of this era and has a mysterious and noble identity. Since she has traveled to this era, she should do something.

Queen, she wants to be the only queen in history!

When she was fourteen, she seemed to have traveled back to a modern classroom. Like a demon, a few brief sentences from the history book appeared in her mind...

So, she began to conspire with her noble mother in Kyoto.

Save the queen, kill Xiao Xuetang, wait for her to return to Kyoto when she is sixteen, and truly... replace her and become the daughter of the Xiao family!

But she didn't expect that she was actually of Xiao Yi's bloodline...

The day before the family reunion banquet, she met her noble mother, the mysterious and beautiful Lady Nan, and also learned about her father.

"So Xiao Xuetang, it's not that I stole your things, but all of this should have belonged to me!"

With a loud "boom", muffled thunder exploded in the sky, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

……

Xiao Yi pushed open the door and saw a woman in a cloak sitting in his room.

"Xiao Lang, you're back..."

She took off her cloak, revealing a face that was no longer young but still full of charm!

Just like the first time I saw Jiangnan...
