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

"Miss! It's bad! I saw a lot of torches outside, and I don't know what happened."

Sakura rushed in in a panic, and while talking, she hurriedly closed the door tightly, as if she was afraid that something would break in. Not only that, she also quickly locked the door.

Then, she said to Xue Jinhua with a look of horror on her face: "Miss, judging from the noise, there might be assassins coming! We must not go out!"

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua's heart was shocked, and she instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. The sudden crying just now must have been someone who was frightened and cried out involuntarily.

Bang! Bang! ... Before long, the sound of fierce fighting came into my ears, mixed with the crisp sound of swords colliding with each other. The sound became louder and more thrilling. Even through the thick doors and windows, I seemed to be able to truly feel the blood and coldness blowing towards me.

Yinghua had obviously never experienced such a horrifying scene before. Her face had turned as pale as paper, and her body was trembling slightly due to extreme fear and tension. However, despite her fear, she still stood firmly in front of Xue Jinhua.

After Xue Jinhua pondered for a moment, she suddenly realized that this assassination attempt had actually happened earlier than in her previous life. At this moment, she had no time to delve into the reasons. The most urgent thing was to take action as soon as possible to deal with the crisis. So, she stood up without hesitation, dressed neatly, and then walked out the door.

Seeing this, Yinghua quickly reached out and grabbed Xue Jinhua, and anxiously advised: "Miss, what are you doing? The situation outside is so chaotic right now, it is safest for us to stay in the house, and we must not go out and take risks easily."

Bang...accompanied by a loud bang.

Before Sakura could finish her words, the door that had been tightly closed was suddenly slammed open without any warning.

There stood a man in black at the door, appearing suddenly like a ghost. Xue Jinhua took a quick glance and met the man's eyes, instantly feeling a fierce killing intent. Then, the man raised the sharp long knife in his hand without hesitation, flashing a chilling cold light...

In an instant, Xue Jinhua's heart tightened and she had no time to think more. She instinctively reached out and grabbed Sakura beside her, quickly rushed to the window, jumped, and escaped from this dangerous place.

She knew very well that the man's target was her!

At this moment, Wang and Zhao Yuting lived near where Xue Jinhua was; next door to them was Zhao Yuxuan's residence.

Yinghua's face was filled with fear, and she said to Xue Jinhua in a trembling voice, "Miss, why don't we go find the Marquis and the old lady for help? After all, these criminals are so fierce and brutal that it's hard for the two of us to resist them! The Marquis brought many guards with him this time, so at least they can guarantee our safety."

However, facing Yinghua's proposal, Xue Jinhua shook her head firmly and refused: "It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Think about it, with such a loud noise just now, could they not hear it?"

But even if they heard it, what would it matter? The Zhao family would probably choose to turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear to it. What does this mean?

When Sakura heard this, her face turned even paler than paper, and her body began to tremble slightly involuntarily.

This... Don't the old lady and the marquis care about the life or death of their young lady?

How dare they?

.........

At this time, a tense atmosphere permeated Wang's room. Wang twisted her body back and forth on the chair as if she was sitting on pins and needles, her eyes occasionally glancing at the door, her ears perked up, listening carefully to even the slightest movement outside. Every slight sound made her heart beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat, and her heart was filled with indescribable panic and anxiety.

"Yuxuan, Xue Jinhua is right next to us! I clearly heard the door of the next room open just now. Why don't you go over and take a look at what's going on?" Wang's face was full of worry, and she urged anxiously.

However, Zhao Yuxuan only frowned slightly, with a cold expression on his face, and responded mercilessly: "Mother, why are you so panicked? Xue Jinhua is not a stupid person. With her intelligence, she naturally knows how to deal with herself at this moment. If she really insists on her own way and insists on seeking death, even the gods will be powerless to stop her!"

Upon hearing this, Wang's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she said with trembling lips: "But... Xue Jinhua is the mistress of our Marquis' Mansion after all! If this matter gets out, won't others point fingers at us behind our backs and poke at our Mansion's spine?" As she spoke, she gently patted her chest with her hand, trying to calm her inner anxiety and fear.

Zhao Yuxuan couldn't help but feel annoyed when he saw his mother like this. He said, "Mom, don't you usually dislike Xue Jinhua? But I've never seen you care so much about her. Now you are acting out of character and are so eager to protect Xue Jinhua, this woman?"

He felt more and more upset, and the things that happened during the day kept emerging in his mind, making him, who was already full of doubts, even more confused about Xue Qing'er's matter.

At this moment, he had no time to care about anything else. He just wanted to find out the truth as soon as possible and get rid of this lingering haze.

"I may dislike her, but after all, she is the mistress of our mansion..." Before Wang could finish her words, Zhao Yuxuan abruptly interrupted her: "Mother, I have already said that you should not interfere in this matter! Xue Jinhua is very lucky, she will be fine."

Then he added, "Oh, by the way, there's also my little sister. I've sent someone to look for her. You just need to wait patiently."

.......

At this moment, Xue Jinhua and Yinghua were running desperately outside the house.

Xue Jinhua traveled through the dark night. As early as during the day, she had already imprinted the terrain of this place deeply in her mind.

Since the prince lives in the west wing, then...

Seeing the man chasing her getting closer and closer, Xue Jinhua was extremely anxious but helpless. She had to firmly grab Yinghua and rush into a house.

"Boss, this mission has failed." A man in black stood upright in front of the door, his brows tightly furrowed.

Before long, the originally dark courtyard was suddenly illuminated by the blazing torches and became as bright as day.

He stood quietly at the door, his eyes slowly looking into the room. At that moment, his inky black eyes happened to meet Xue Jinhua's line of sight.

Those deep eyes were like the water in a cold pond, so deep that one could not see the bottom, but they were also like an extremely powerful vortex, emitting an irresistible attraction, locking Xue Jinhua's gaze tightly.

A bone-chilling chill emanated from him, as if he himself was an indestructible iceberg, containing endless coldness that could easily tear a person into pieces. And the strong murderous intent was like a substance, weighing heavily in the air, suffocating people.

Xue Jinhua was shocked. Although she had experienced two lives, this was the first time she had met such a dangerous person. What was the identity of this mysterious man?

"Retreat!..." Just this simple word reveals an absolute majesty and an irresistible momentum.

In the blink of an eye, the many men in black who had gathered in the temple quickly blended into the vast darkness like ghosts and disappeared without a trace...leaving only the bloody smell that filled the night sky for a long time.

"Ah...Ah...Ah..." Just when Xue Jinhua's thoughts had not yet fully recovered, a thrilling scream suddenly came from the direction of the west wing.

The monks and guards in the courtyard turned their heads and looked at the scene, their faces full of astonishment. Even Xue Jinhua and Yinghua beside her were attracted by the sudden shouting and became curious. However, as soon as they took a step, they were stopped by a steward and a monk: "Madam Hou, there are assassins in the temple tonight. You must be frightened, right?"

Xue Jinhua shook her head slightly, indicating that it was nothing serious: "It's okay."

At this time, a monk came hurriedly and said apologetically: "Madam Hou, I am very sorry. Unfortunately, the temple was attacked by assassins and the rooms here have been damaged. Please move to the east wing, where someone is responsible for cleaning up. For what happened today, this temple will give you a satisfactory answer."

At this moment, a harsh voice came: "Why is it you?"

This sudden sound made Yinghua curious. She couldn't wait to find out what was going on, but Xue Jinhua stopped her with her hand: "Thank you, Master. We'll be there right away. Yinghua, let's go."

After the two of them walked out of the courtyard, Yinghua could no longer suppress her inner doubts and asked, "Miss, I clearly heard the voice of my aunt just now. Why don't we go and see what's going on?"

Xue Jinhua sighed helplessly and replied, "Since you can tell it's the young lady's voice, then going there now would only make you look bad and cause people to laugh at you!"

Yinghua blinked and asked in confusion, "Miss, there was an assassin in the temple tonight. Why did you go to the west wing instead of resting in your room? Don't you find it strange at all?"

The corners of Xue Jinhua's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Yes! I am indeed a little curious." Her tone was relaxed and slightly teasing, as if she was looking forward to the answer that was about to be revealed.

"But you don't have to be too anxious. I believe it won't be long before we know the reason." Xue Jinhua comforted, with confidence flashing in her eyes.

Not long after, they arrived in the room. However, just as they sat down, they heard hurried footsteps, and then Wang rushed into the room. She looked flustered and tense, and was obviously in a bad mood.

Xue Jinhua remained calm and composed, and asked softly, "Mother, it's already late at night and everyone is asleep. Why don't you take a rest but rush to my room? I wonder what's the matter?" Her voice was gentle but firm, revealing a majesty that could not be ignored.

Wang couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard this. She thought to herself: How can she sleep peacefully with so much noise outside? But she just replied stiffly: "There's something wrong in the west wing, I need you to go over and check it out."

Xue Jinhua frowned and asked in confusion: "Mother, what happened? If it was just an ordinary matter, you can handle it yourself. Why did you make a trip?" Her eyes were as clear as water, looking directly at Wang, as if she wanted to see through everything through her eyes.

Wang was becoming increasingly irritated and uneasy. She wanted to solve the problem herself, but if she could do it easily, why would she have the audacity to come here?

However, it was impossible for her to bow her head and beg. So, she could only suppress her anger and remain silent.

Xue Jinhua saw all of this and understood it. She sighed softly and said slowly, "Mother, if you don't have anything else important to do, you might as well go back and rest early! After all, your health is important." After that, she turned around and told Yinghua, the maid beside her, "Yinghua, escort the old lady back to her room."

Yinghua walked lightly to Wang's side. Before she could stand firmly, she heard Wang say anxiously, "Your younger sister is in the west wing. You must go there."

Sakura's heart was suddenly shocked. She heard it clearly just now. It turned out to be the voice of her little aunt!

Upon hearing this, Xue Jinhua pretended to be surprised and said, "Mother, what's the reason? Haven't I been in the same room with you all the time? Moreover, it's late at night now. How could I appear in the west wing if I'm not by your side?" She widened her eyes and looked at Wang in disbelief.

Wang's face flushed red instantly, but she hesitated and couldn't explain it for a long time. Finally, she just stammered, "Don't ask too much. You will understand when you get there."

How could Xue Jinhua give up so easily? She didn't give her any face at all: "Mother, I am really exhausted today. If it is not an urgent matter, I'm sorry that I can't go as you ordered." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Wang hurriedly tried to speak up to stop them, but Xue Jinhua didn't give her the chance and directly told Yinghua, who was standing beside her, "Yinghua, please send the old lady out."

Seeing Xue Jinhua's firm attitude, Wang panicked and quickly changed her words, "This matter concerns your younger sister's reputation. You absolutely cannot ignore it. If you don't go, I'm afraid the reputation of our mansion will be ruined."

The situation seemed to be very critical, how could Xue Jinhua just ignore it!

So she followed Wang, but... unexpectedly, they did not go to the room where Wang was, but entered the room in the west wing.

"My Lord, what on earth have you done?" Zhao Yuxuan's furious roar suddenly came from the room, accompanied by the sobbing and whimpering sounds of Zhao Yuting.

When Xue Jinhua stepped into the room, she was completely stunned as if struck by lightning - the scene before her eyes really made her dumbfounded and astonished...
