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

The two people in the room seemed to be completely immersed in their own world, unaware of everything around them.

Xue Qing'er pushed Zhao Yuxuan away forcefully and asked coquettishly, "Brother Xuan, aren't you curious at all about who these shoes belong to?"

Zhao Yuxuan frowned slightly, and didn't seem to take it to heart. However, Xue Qing'er refused to give up and continued to ask, "Brother Xuan, I remember that when I went to the Marquis' Mansion last time, I seemed to see my little sister wearing this pair of shoes."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuxuan's face instantly became extremely shocked. He widened his eyes and looked at Xue Qing'er in disbelief.

Xue Qing'er saw all of this and couldn't help but smile slyly, but soon regained her composure and said softly, "Oh, maybe I'm too suspicious! Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe the little sister happens to have a pair of exactly the same shoes? Hmm...it shouldn't be the little sister's."

You know, everyone who comes to Huangshan Temple will have a record of it. And this place is a place where female visitors are rare, so how could so many things happen so coincidentally? It really makes people suspicious!

"It's getting late, and the temple is in chaos right now. You'd better leave as soon as possible." Zhao Yuxuan said, his eyes fixed on the exquisite embroidered shoes in her hand.

Seeing this, Xue Qing'er hurriedly responded: "Brother Xuan, this pair of embroidered shoes is really useless to me. It would be better for you to deal with it."

"But don't worry, Brother Xuan, I will remember every word you say." After saying that, she handed the embroidered shoes to Zhao Yuxuan with full anticipation.

After a moment's silence, Zhao Yuxuan slowly reached out and took the pair of embroidered shoes, then turned and left without looking back, leaving Xue Qing'er standing there alone, staring at his receding back thoughtfully.

After letting out a long breath, Xue Qing'er secretly rejoiced in her heart: Phew... That was a close call! I almost couldn't hide it from Zhao Yuxuan.

However, after just a short while, her face turned gloomy again.

Xue Qing'er was full of doubts, frowning, thinking to herself: It's really strange, I clearly received accurate information that the West Wing should be where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives, how could it suddenly become the residence of the Prince of Zhenguo Mansion? If Zhao Yuxuan hadn't happened to come, I'm afraid my identity would have been exposed at this moment. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuting acted as a scapegoat, allowing her to escape. After this incident, Xue Qing'er knew that she had to be doubly cautious in the future.

.........

At this moment, Yinghua at the side couldn't help but ask, "Miss, how did the Marquis and the Crown Prince's Consort..." Before she finished her words, Xue Jinhua suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yinghua, her eyes as cold as frost, "Yinghua, how long have you followed me?"

Seeing this, Yinghua's heart tightened, and she quickly lowered her head and responded, "My lady, I have been following you since I was a child, and it has been sixteen years now."

Xue Jinhua nodded slightly to show that she understood, and then she said in a serious tone: "Very good, Yinghua, you must remember that from now on, no matter what you see, you must not reveal a single word about it."

Hearing this warning, Yinghua bit her lips tightly, a trace of resentment and resentment flashed in her eyes, but she still replied in a low voice: "Yes, Miss." I will obey your instructions. "But the Marquis's behavior really makes me feel indignant and unworthy for you."

"What can you do if you are unwilling? You just need to understand one thing, that is, I will never resign myself to my fate and sit back and wait for death." Xue Jinhua said with a firm look in her eyes.

Sakura, who was standing by, felt relieved to see that her young lady was confident, but she still felt contempt and indignation towards what Zhao Yuxuan had done.

After Xue Jinhua returned to her room, she was not sleepy at all. She sat quietly in front of the window, staring at the moonlight outside.

Sakura advised softly, "Miss, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."

However, Xue Jinhua just shook her head slightly, indicating that she couldn't fall asleep at all at the moment.

Time passed minute by minute, until dawn was approaching, when finally a faint sound was heard outside the window.

"Miss, the beggar master is here." Sakura reported in a low voice.

Hearing this news, Xue Jinhua felt relieved. She quickly put down the brush in her hand and whispered, "The Marquis will definitely not have time to take care of me at this moment. You go out and guard it. Don't let anyone get close to this place."

Soon, a figure in a black robe quietly entered the room.

"Master, you are finally here." Xue Jinhua stood up and walked forward, her tone unable to hide her eagerness.

The beggar quickly explained, "Madam, please don't be anxious. I have been busy with other important matters recently, which delayed my meeting with you. But now everything has been dealt with, so I hurried to see you."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua felt relieved and immediately asked, "Master, then... has there been any news about my fate?" Her eyes were full of anticipation.

The beggar looked embarrassed and after hesitating for a moment he replied: "Madam, to be honest, my master will be visiting Kyoto in the near future. It's a pity that the specific date has not yet been determined." After saying this, he couldn't help but lower his head, as if he was quite helpless about this answer.

Xue Jinhua felt disappointed when she heard this. But she was not discouraged and continued to ask: "So, in your opinion, what is my fate?"

The beggar raised his head, looked at Xue Jinhua firmly, and said slowly: "Madam, I have already seen your fate in advance. Although your fate is being replaced by others, fortunately it has not been completely devoured. In addition, with the various changes that have happened recently, your fate has not shown any signs of further deterioration. I think that perhaps the person who tried to replace your fate encountered some kind of obstacle."

Doesn't this mean that she still has a glimmer of hope to change her fate?

Xue Jinhua showed a suspicious look and said softly: "Master, I still have a doubt in my heart."

"Ma'am, please speak frankly."

"Master, I think you already know my true identity. My fate was swapped when I was young, and someone else took my place as the eldest daughter of the Grand Master's Mansion. Master, may I ask if the person who swapped my fate with me is this woman?"

Upon hearing this, the beggar hurriedly began to calculate by pinching his fingers, but he still could not come to a definite conclusion. Not only that, a layer of fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead.

In an instant, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Xue Jinhua was horrified when she saw this and asked anxiously, "Master, are you okay?"

The beggar waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and said slowly: "Madam, don't worry. It's just that someone is preventing me from seeing this secret, so I can't determine for sure whether the person you mentioned is the one who exchanged fate with you..."

"So………"

"However, Madam, please relax. I just performed a ritual, which took a lot of energy. After I recover, I will definitely help you find out who this person is."

Xue Jinhua's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally slowly settled back into her chest. However, she was still a little uneasy. She asked softly, "Master, how long will it take to complete this?" There was a hint of eagerness and anticipation in her voice.

The beggar smiled and replied calmly, "It will be done tomorrow. Please be patient and wait patiently." After that, he turned and left, his figure gradually going farther and farther away...

After the beggar walked away, Xue Jinhua's mood, which had been slightly relaxed, became even heavier, as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

At this moment, she was extremely certain in her heart - Xue Qing'er must be the one who exchanged fate with her! If not, how could she easily replace her position?

At this moment, an idea became stronger and stronger in Xue Jinhua's mind: Only by pushing Xue Qing'er into an irretrievable situation, or even taking her life, can she get back her own destiny?

Thinking of this, she clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

At this moment, a maid came hurriedly to report: "Miss, the Marquis is back and has gone to the old lady's room."

Hearing this, Xue Jinhua was slightly startled, and then she came to her senses. She had no time to care about the Zhao family's affairs at the moment, and her mind was full of how to make Xue Qing'er infamous and notorious.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jinhua's eyes flashed with determination, and she said to Yinghua beside her: "Go quickly and quietly tell Xue Qing'er about this."

When Sakura heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She nodded in understanding and said, "Yes, Miss. I'll go right away." After that, she turned around and left quickly, her steps light and hurried.

Xue Jinhua stared at the sky outside the window quietly. The night was as dark as ink, with stars twinkling in between. The smile on her lips gradually deepened, like a blooming poisonous flower, exuding a frightening breath. She thought to herself: When the dawn breaks, it will be the time for you, Xue Qing'er, to be destroyed.

.........

Xue Jinhua stood quietly in the room, her body pressed tightly against the cold corner of the wall, but her ears were keenly aware of the slightest sounds coming from next door.

"Mom, don't worry! There is absolutely nothing happening between me and that young master, and I will never delay important matters." Zhao Yuting's tone was firm, but there seemed to be a hint of helplessness in it.

Then, another slightly older voice sounded: "You should know this in your heart. Even though the prince is of noble status, he is still just a prince. Compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is a world of difference!"

Xue Jinhua was shocked and finally understood why Zhao Yuting went to where the prince was last night.

However, the truth is that a Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway - her eldest brother blocked her way and told her that the person living in the west wing was the current crown prince. Rather than trying so hard to curry favor with a mere prince, it would be better to climb up to the high branch of the crown prince in one step.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Marquis was so generous to arrange Zhao Yuting to live in the west wing. It turned out that they had already known that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who lived there.

"I'm glad you understand. I'm just afraid that you might get confused for a moment." Mother's words revealed deep worry.

Zhao Yuting's expression became more solemn, and she frowned and said, "Mom, but I don't know if the information my brother got is accurate. It was originally said to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but how did it turn out to be the Young Master of Zhenguo Mansion?" Her eyes were full of confusion and uneasiness.

Wang was also confused and kept wondering, "Let's wait until your eldest brother comes back to ask about this matter!"

After a while...

Zhao Yuxuan walked in with a gloomy face just like Bao Gong, but Wang greeted him with a smile on her face, calling out: "Yuxuan..."
