The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Even though the city lord's wife had already prepared herself mentally and knew clearly that Xue Jinhua's background was probably extraordinary, when she heard from the other party that she was the queen of Jin, she was still shocked as if struck by lightning.

The city lord's wife stared at Xue Jinhua in disbelief, and stammered, "You...what did you say? You are the queen of Jin?"

As she finished her words, her body leaned back a little uncontrollably.

This is simply unbelievable! Is the city lord really crazy?

You know, Jin State and Nanjiang City have always lived in peace and did not disturb each other.

Thinking of this, the city lord's wife calmed down, took a deep breath and said, "Hmph, stop lying here! If you are really the queen of Jin, why doesn't the city lord escort you back to the country as soon as possible?"

Although her back was covered with a layer of sweat due to fear, she still tried to remain calm and composed on the surface.

However, facing the questioning of the city lord's wife, Xue Jinhua just smiled and responded calmly: "Maybe it's because the city lord intends to stop me from returning to Jin State?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, striking the city lord's wife directly in the heart.

In an instant, the city lord's wife felt dizzy and stumbled. She involuntarily took several steps backwards and almost fell to the ground.

She opened her eyes wide, looked at Xue Jinhua in astonishment, and said with trembling lips: "You...you are talking nonsense! How could the city lord do such a stupid thing? This is impossible, you must be lying!" She shook her head vigorously.

"Madam, please calm down and listen to me. Since I came here, as soon as I saw the Lord Mayor, I immediately told him my purpose.

"I wanted to go back, but the city lord saw that I was still injured and refused to let me leave out of pity."

"Just a few days ago, I thought about it and decided that since I couldn't get away and go home, I should let my husband come and pick me up. So I boldly asked the city lord to help me send a letter home."

"But according to my calculations, the letter should have been delivered to Jin State long ago. But to this day, there is still no movement from Jin State."

"At first, I thought it was because of the long journey, but as time went by and there was still no news, I gradually realized that maybe my letter was not sent successfully at all."

When the city lord's wife heard this, she felt a sharp pain in her heart and felt as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She simply couldn't accept the fact that her husband, whom she loved deeply and always respected, would do such a ridiculous thing.

Taking someone's wife away is an act that is intolerable to heaven! How dare he do such a shameless thing? Isn't he afraid of retribution? This is really a sin!

When the city lord's wife heard this, she was extremely shocked in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface.

She said in disbelief: "Mrs. Xue, could it be that you made a mistake? Maybe the letter has been successfully sent, but your husband is unwilling to come to rescue for some reason?"

However, Xue Jinzhuan only smiled slightly in response to the City Lord's wife's questioning, and replied softly: "Madam, if my husband was replaced by someone else, perhaps this possibility does exist."

Xue Jinhua knew Ling Yan's deep affection for her, and his trust was as solid as a rock. If it were someone like Zhao Yuxuan, he might have watched her die without helping.

But for Ling Yan, protecting the woman he loves is his unshirkable responsibility and mission.

The city lord's wife looked at Xue Jinhua's unwavering and confident expression and couldn't help but be moved.

She thought to herself, if the same thing happened to her, and the target was her husband...

Thinking of this, the city lord's wife couldn't help but turn pale.

Because she knew very well that this was something that was absolutely impossible to achieve.

"Of course. That's why I asked you to come here, Madam City Lord, just to help me pass on a letter."

As Xue Jinhua spoke, she handed the items she had carefully prepared to the city lord's wife.

The letter was wrapped tightly, as if carrying all her hopes and expectations.

"As long as Madam can deliver this letter to the officials of Jin State, my husband will certainly know my situation and will rush here to take me away."

Xue Jinhua spoke earnestly, his eyes fixed on the city lord's wife, as if he wanted to see a hint of agreement through her eyes.

However, after hearing these words, the city lord's wife involuntarily took several steps back.

Even at this moment, Xue Jinhua had explained the matter so clearly, but she still found it hard to believe, and her heart was filled with doubt and hesitation.

"No... I can't do this! Why should I do this?" The city lord's wife shook her head repeatedly, her face full of resistance.

For her, this matter came too suddenly and involved many things, making it difficult for her to make a decision for a while.

In short, when the city lord's wife heard what Xue Jinhua said, her heart was like a pot of mixed feelings, all mixed together, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, she felt that everything that was happening before her eyes was extremely absurd and ridiculous.

"Madam City Lord, please be patient. I know how you feel right now, and perhaps you have doubts about my request. But please think about it. If you help me this time, not only can I fulfill my wish, but I can also take this opportunity to completely capture the heart of the City Lord. Isn't it worth considering such a thing that can kill two birds with one stone?" Xue Jinhua continued to persuade earnestly, trying to move the hesitant heart of the City Lord's wife.

Xue Jinhua's words immediately made the city lord's wife turn pale.

"I know that the lady is deeply in love with the Lord of the City and deeply in love with her husband, but she is resentful because his heart is not fully devoted to her. Similarly, I also understand that the lady is resentful of me because of this."

"So if Madam is willing to help me now, after I leave, the Lord City Lord's wandering heart will surely be restrained, and he will naturally return to Madam, isn't that right?"

Xue Jinhua stared at the face of the city lord's wife with burning eyes, knowing clearly that she had heard what she said.

However, the mayor's wife was still struggling internally. In the end, she still chose to shake her head to express her disbelief. "Do I have to believe you just because you said that? I don't believe what you said at all!"

Xue Jinhua had anticipated the City Lord's wife's reaction, so she did not get angry, but continued to explain patiently: "Madam, there are some things that are difficult for you to be completely convinced by just a few words from me."

"In that case, I would like to suggest that Madam go and investigate in person to see whether the letters I sent out have been delivered?"

"What if the letter was sent, but my husband did not come? Or if the letter was never sent at all? Then the truth will be clear."

The city lord's wife seemed to have lost her soul and staggered backwards.

Her eyes were empty and she didn't notice the table behind her or the exquisite teacups on it.

Just as she continued to back away, there was a dull "bang" sound, and her body hit the edge of the table hard. The teacup that had been placed safely on the table also flew down instantly due to the sudden impact, and fell heavily to the ground, making a crisp and sharp cracking sound.

The shattering sound was particularly abrupt and loud in the silent room, and in an instant it penetrated the closed door and spread outside the house.

Tracy and Ximei, who had been waiting outside the door, were startled when they heard the unusual noise. They pushed the door open without hesitation, and their hurried footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

The first person to rush into the house was Tracy. When she saw the city lord's wife's distraught and pale face, she was completely stunned.

She subconsciously reached out her hand to cover her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, but the fear in her eyes could not be concealed.

After being stunned for a moment, Tracy rushed to the city lord's wife as if waking up from a dream, and asked anxiously: "Madam, are you okay? What happened?"

At this moment, the city lord's wife seemed to have not recovered from the shock just now. She just stood there blankly, staring straight ahead, with no response to Tracy's concerned greetings.

Seeing this, Tracy became even more anxious. She turned her head to look at Xue Jinhua, and asked angrily, "Madam Xue, what did you say to our city lord's wife? Why did you let her become like this?"

However, in response to Tracy's questioning, Xue Jinhua just frowned slightly and did not answer immediately.

However, the city lord's wife finally came to her senses after hearing Tracy's calls.

Although her face was still frighteningly pale, she still pulled herself together, turned around and scolded Tracy, "Tracy, shut up! Don't be rude to Madam Xue! Madam Xue didn't do anything to me, this matter has nothing to do with her."

Tracy obviously didn't expect the city lord's wife to say that. She opened her mouth to argue a few more words, but finally closed her mouth obediently.

However, her angry eyes were still fixed on Xue Jinhua, as if she was convinced that it was this woman in front of her who made the city lord's wife uneasy.

The city lord's wife took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Then she turned her head and looked at Xue Jinhua again, and said slowly: "Mrs. Xue, since you are fine, you should have a good rest. As for other things...you don't have to worry about them anymore."

After saying this, the city lord's wife no longer paid any attention to Xue Jinhua, but slowly walked out of the room with the support of Tracy.

Xue Jinhua was left standing there alone, pondering the meaning of the City Lord's wife's last words.

Could it be that behind these seemingly euphemistic words lies a rejection?

Xue Jinhua remained silent, but the city lord's wife was already leading Tracy away.

Looking at their departing backs, Xue Jinhua curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and couldn't help but be slightly startled in her heart.

It doesn’t matter. Once the seeds of doubt are planted in certain things, they will grow and spread quietly like weeds.

When the time is right, the city lord's wife will definitely go and find out the truth herself.

After the city lord's wife left, Ximei asked with concern: "Madam, has the city lord's wife ever done anything extreme to you?"

Xue Jinhua knew that Ximei's move was a deliberate test, so she smiled and said, "How could that be? The city lord's wife is kind and caring towards me. She has not done anything out of line."

Seeing this, Ximei seemed to want to ask something more, but before she could say anything, Xue Jinhua showed her impatience and said coquettishly: "Ximei, I am tired and just want to have a good rest."

When Ximei heard this, her expression instantly became somewhat unnatural, and her facial muscles twitched involuntarily a few times.

Although she was unwilling, she could only respond respectfully: "Okay, ma'am, you should go to bed early." After that, Ximei slowly retreated.

After Ximei turned around and walked out of the room, Xue Jinhua thought to herself, "Madam City Lord, please don't let me down!"

Ximei hesitated for a long time, and finally, after a fierce ideological struggle, she decided to inform the city lord about this matter.

When City Lord Meng finished listening to Ximei's narration, he couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he slowly asked, "You said just now that the two of them talked alone in the room for a while?"

Ximei nodded quickly and said, "Your Excellency the City Lord, that is indeed the case. At that time, I noticed that the City Lord's wife looked unhappy, but Madam Xue did not show any abnormality."

Hearing this, City Lord Meng was also puzzled and muttered to himself, "These two people... can actually live in the same room peacefully? It's really strange." After a slight pause, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly, and then he ordered, "Okay, Ximei, from now on, you continue to pay attention to their every move. If there is any disturbance, you must come and report to me immediately. Do you understand?"

"As you command, Lord City Lord!" Ximei replied respectfully. Then she quietly withdrew...
