Just as she was trying to make out who it was, she suddenly heard a voice say, "Brother Luo, those two are dressed so well, I really like that cloak..."

Another voice said, "Yes, it's very beautiful."

"Shall we go over and take a look?"

Xie Zhaozhao didn't think much of the voice at first. There were many people on the street, and many people wearing cloaks. She didn't think it had anything to do with her.

Just as the two people got close enough to steal a glance at her, Yuan Yuan immediately blocked their view.

She and Gu Shaoyu both turned to look. Seeing their wariness, the two men awkwardly lowered their heads and pretended to look at the roadside stalls.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the two people carefully for a while, and then she remembered.

These two people were Luo Cong, a purchasing agent, and Han Zhu, a maid, who were kicked out of the Xie family mansion five years ago for trying to sleep with Xie Yu.

At the time, Xie Yu had just turned fifteen. Seventeen-year-old Han Zhu secretly drugged Xie Yu, and Xie Yu jumped into the icy lake in the dead of winter, almost causing a major accident.

The Xie family was always kind and generous, so they did not kill Hanzhu, but instead expelled her whole family, as well as Luo Cong's family who had cooperated with her in drugging her.

The treatment and status of a noble family were unmatched by any other household. None of the servants who left the Xie family had a good end, because they could never find such a good master again, and the psychological gap left them dissatisfied for the rest of their lives.

Luo Cong and Han Zhu didn't recognize her. Five years ago, Xie Zhaozhao was just a young girl who hadn't fully grown up. Now, she was stunningly beautiful, and with the imposing Gu Shaoyu standing beside her, Han Zhu couldn't remember her at first glance.

Xie Zhaozhao gave a cold laugh.

Five years ago, Xie Zhaozhao drugged Xie Yu and wanted to kill them, let alone now that she suddenly remembered things from her past life.

In her past life, before she died, Guan Yingying told her: "The Xie family has been a thousand-year-old family? Living in luxury? Hahaha, utterly pathetic! Do you know what the Xie family did when your father and your brother were beheaded? — The servants stripped them naked!"

Xie Zhaozhao coldly replied, "You don't need to spread rumors. The servants in the Xie family are all loyal. They would rather die than betray us!"

"Oh, you don't believe me? Fine, I'll tell you their names. One is Luo Cong, and the other is Han Zhu. They were two servants who were kicked out of the Xie family twenty years ago. Do you remember them?"

Guan Yingying said lewdly, "They not only stripped your father and brother of their clothes, but also your brother's... hahaha, if you don't believe me, go ask others, many people saw it!"

...

Xie Zhaozhao was unable to take revenge in her previous life. At that time, she was imprisoned by Guan Yingying and Gu Yuebai, who even sealed her door, making it impossible for her to get out.

But in this life, she has a chance!

She didn't move, coldly staring at the two adulterers. Gu Shaoyu asked softly, "What? Is there something wrong with those two?"

Xie Zhaozhao lowered her eyes and said, "Those were servants kicked out of the Xie family."

She planned to send someone to investigate these two people tomorrow and quietly eliminate them.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out behind me.

The crowd that had been chasing the dragon dance team suddenly surged toward them, charging and crashing about.

"My husband..."

Before she could finish speaking, a shrill scream rang out. Not far in front of her, a group of masked men appeared out of nowhere, wielding sharp blades, and knocked a group of women who were holding hands and guessing riddles flying.

It came straight at Gu Shaoyu.

Chaos broke out on the street. Gu Shaoyu felt Xie Zhaozhao's hand tighten, and quickly said to her, "Don't be afraid!"

Nanxing had already drawn his ceremonial sword and said to Gu Shaoyu, "Master, hurry up and go." Yuanyuan also drew her soft sword from her waist and started fighting with the masked man.

Nanxing's martial arts skills were extremely high; he could kill almost anyone with a single strike, making him invincible.

Two more people appeared out of nowhere, their martial arts skills were extremely high, and their swords gleamed with a chilling light as they attacked the masked men.

Nanxing and the other two managed to kill dozens of masked men without them being able to fight back.

The other side was probably determined to kill Gu Shaoyu, and more and more people were gathering.

While the others were engrossed in fighting the masked man, Gu Shaoyu swiftly ripped off Xie Zhaozhao's red bib, turned it inside out, and the bright red hat turned into a light purple color, which he then placed on her head.

Xie Zhaozhao was nervous but not flustered. She pulled Gu Shaoyu down to squat down and took off her fox fur cloak, leaving only her peony pink brocade dress underneath.

They then stripped off Gu Shaoyu's coat and two outer garments, throwing them in front of Luo Cong and Hanzhu, who were hiding under the stall.

The two men were taken aback. Looking at the top-quality fur coat in front of them, Hanzhu reached out to take it.

Luo Cong said, "Don't take it. Didn't you see those two have attendants?"

Hanzhu said, "When things are in chaos and people lose things, whoever picks them up keeps them. If we don't pick them up, someone else will..."

As they were talking, they saw the stall owner reach out to snatch the two coats.

In such a chaotic situation on the street, coats, hats, and jewelry are easily knocked off; it would be foolish not to pick them up.

As soon as Hanzhu saw the stall owner trying to snatch it, she immediately said, "I saw it first."

Luo Cong said, "These were given to us by my cousins ​​to keep us warm."

The stall owner refused to believe it, and the two sides pulled and struggled.

Hanzhu draped Xie Zhaozhao's cloak over herself, while Luo Cong put on Gu Shaoyu's outer cloak. The two of them held hands and ran away.

The stall owner didn't dare go far, cursed a bunch of things, and hurriedly hid behind his stall.

Luo Cong and Han Zhu were overjoyed. "Holy crap! We're rich! We're rich!"

These two cloaks and overcoats must be worth at least several hundred strings of cash!

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't bear to throw away the Guanyin mask that Gu Shaoyu had bought for her, so she stuffed it into her bosom. She then grabbed two Wuchang masks from the stall and put them on with Gu Shaoyu and herself.
