Xie Zhaozhao jumped off the cliff again!

This was the second time Xie Zhaozhao had experienced the feeling of falling uncontrollably and rapidly.

Are you scared?

Fear!

Even though it was the second time I had fallen off a cliff, and even though I had made thorough preparations this time, I was still afraid.

Although Yin Jin'an said insincerely with a sour face that she should just let her die, she knew that Yin Jin'an must have taken precautions.

But for some reason, it was much more frightening than in the previous life.

Perhaps there was something to look forward to, something to worry about.

Gazing at the twinkling stars against the clear sky, she quickly sorted through the events of this brief, yet another life in her mind:

It's only been a year since I was reborn on the Shangsi Festival last year; time really is short.

In that year, she broke off her engagement with Gu Chengyan, which was truly the luckiest thing she had ever done in both her lives.

Then, through a subtle and meticulous scheme, they gradually led these glamorous scumbags into the abyss.

Marrying the exceptionally intelligent Grand Secretary Gu was another great fortune. His strategic planning, his simple yet profound declarations, his clear eyes, and those poignant cases at the Dali Temple...

What she found most unforgettable was his respect for her; otherwise, her grand plan would not have been able to proceed smoothly.

When conflicts arose with the Marquis's mansion, he did not hesitate to choose to protect himself.

Every little detail makes up a vivid and irresistible figure like Grand Secretary Gu.

She felt that taking revenge on the scumbag boyfriend and girlfriend was just to vent her anger, but marrying Gu Shaoyu was the life she truly wanted.

This year was the happiest time of her two lifetimes, and it was well worth it!

"call"

Just moments after landing, my body was pushed aside by a force, and I crashed into something. Suddenly, I was caught in a net, forming a cocoon, and violently swayed, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

She felt dizzy and nauseous from being thrown around.

It was suspended in mid-air in a net, neither touching the sky nor the ground.

Above her, two people were standing on trees jutting out from the cliff face, holding onto ropes hanging from the cliff. She was dangling below them!

The net was made of thick hemp rope, and she was curled up inside it. It was too dark for her to see who it was.

"Who is it?" she called out tentatively.

Neither of them uttered a sound, so she immediately shut up.

Are they accomplices of those men in black armor?

She also remained inactive.

In no time, she felt the net descend. The two men pulled on the rope and slowly lowered it down along with her large net.

Once the net landed, footsteps approached, and the net was opened.

The two people standing in front of him were Nan Xing and... Gu Shaoyu!

"You, you..." Xie Zhaozhao was still in shock, but overjoyed, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Shaoyu initially didn't want to pay attention to her, but he couldn't help but say, "If I'm not here, am I supposed to go to the underworld to reunite with you?"

Hearing that he was angry, Xie Zhaozhao felt wronged and reached out to pull his hand, sobbing as she called out, "Jingchen~"

Gu Shaoyu withdrew his hand, his voice cold: "Weren't you bold?"

He carefully picked her up and walked towards the roadside. Xie Zhaozhao saw a group of people wearing soft armor in the dark by the roadside.

She was too embarrassed to look up.

"Did they go with you?" Gu Shaoyu asked.

"Yes, we went with them," the people replied.

A carriage was parked by the roadside. Gu Shaoyu put her in the carriage, which had a small iron cot. Xie Zhaozhao lay on the cot, while Gu Shaoyu sat opposite her, leaning against the carriage, ignoring her.

Nanxing drove the carriage, with a glass lantern hanging in front of it, illuminating a distance of several meters in front of the carriage.

The car moved slowly forward, and Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but ask, "How did you know I was in danger?"

"......"

"You were lying in ambush in the cemetery? Why didn't you come out sooner?"

Gu Shaoyu sneered, "If you come out too early, you won't be able to witness your heroic act of jumping off a cliff."

"I'm sorry..." Xie Zhaozhao said anxiously, lying on the small bed, "You will save Yuanyuan and the others, right?"

"Don't save them!"

"Mother and the others are still in the courtyard on the mountaintop. I wonder if the bandits have retreated? You should report this to the authorities and have them arrested."

Why should I save them?

"......" Isn't that your mother, your sister-in-law?

A strange thought came to mind: Did he actually not care about the Earl's Mansion?

"Don't be angry, it's all my fault!" After a long while, Xie Zhaozhao said apologetically, "I had no choice... It won't happen again."

Gu Shaoyu looked outside, ignoring her.

In silence, the car stopped at the county government office. The third hall of the county government office was the inner residence, and the county magistrate had prepared a special courtyard for Gu Shaoyu and his wife to stay in.

Xie Zhaozhao was recuperating in the inner room, while Gu Shaoyu was handling official business in the outer hall. People would occasionally come into the courtyard to report.

Xie Zhaozhao was preoccupied with thoughts of Yuanyuan and Manman, and it wasn't until dawn that she finally drifted off to sleep.

The next day at 1-3 PM, Nanxing brought Yuanyuan back.

Yuanyuan had some knife wounds, and the two of them were finally relieved to see Xie Zhaozhao.

“Miss, you scared me to death,” Manman cried. “Even if Master Yin made preparations, you shouldn’t have jumped down like that.”

"I'm fine," Xie Zhaozhao said with a faint smile. "I trust him."

She didn't regret it, except for feeling a little guilty towards Gu Shaoyu.

Reborn into this world, she cherishes her life, but she also wants to use the least amount of money and the most "reasonable" method to quickly wipe out her enemies.

The bandits who forced her to jump off a cliff in her previous life deserve to die!

Those scheming women who plotted against her throughout her life could be killed off in one fell swoop, or made to suffer a fate worse than death, in the most humiliating way possible, leaving them living in constant fear and forever trampled into the mud...
