Jiang Yuzhu's heart sank, her knuckles gripping the reins turned pale, she felt a little panicked, and her mind was full of questions.

Looking for her? How could she possibly attract these killers?

Moreover, the place where this group of people appeared was right on the road leading to the royal hunting ground, which seemed more like a premeditated plan.

Because Xie Zhao was delayed by something, he arrived an hour later than originally scheduled.

“Who…who are you?”

Jiang Yuzhu was horrified and tried to estimate the other party's cards.

If it were just bandits, it would be easier to deal with them.

The leading man in black laughed and said, "Here come to kill you!"

"What? Are you scared now? You've done such evil things, today is the day you die!"

The man in black had a strong hatred in his eyes and lowered his voice involuntarily, as if he was afraid of being recognized.

Now, Jiang Yuzhu was even more confused: "Did you find the wrong person?"

Although the original owner was not a good person, he was not a bad person either.

The Jiang family mainly follows the path of corruption and money worship, and occasionally bullies others.

When Jiang Yuzhu recalled the things the original owner had done, she could only make a few sarcastic remarks. How poor a person's mental quality would have to be to be so upset?

As for ordinary people, she never bullied them.

The man in black was furious and asked angrily, "Aren't you Jiang Yuzhu?"

Jiang Yuzhu raised her eyelids and said calmly, "No."

"You're nothing! I'd still recognize you even if you turned into ashes!"

The man in black had bloodshot eyes, and then he pulled down his mask to reveal a slightly childish face.

"Forget it. Everyone has their own share of responsibility. Before I send you off, I'll make you a clear-headed ghost. That way, you won't have to argue with the King of Hell in the underworld and be fooled by your eloquence!"

Jiang Yuzhu has determined that the person who came has some skills, but does not pose a big threat.

Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster struck, Xie Zhao did not fly away. This time he was safe.

Jiang Yuzhu said to Xie Zhao, who was frowning beside her, "After thinking carefully, I really don't recognize the young master in front of me."

Jiang Yuzhu's provocation made the man in black lose his temper and almost revealed his identity: "I'm not young anymore, I'm already nineteen!"

Xie Zhao gave Jiang Yuzhu a soothing look and said coldly to the man in black, "Are you Zhang Zhong, the son of Zhang Bianxiu of the Hanlin Academy?"

After Xie Zhao passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, he worked in the Hanlin Academy for a year.

About three years ago, Zhang Hanlin's daughter suddenly became depressed and committed suicide by hanging while attending a flower viewing party.

Not long after that, Editor Zhang became disheartened and resigned from his post, and he and his family moved out of the capital and their whereabouts are unknown.

Zhang Zhong bit his lip, his eyes showing a complicated expression. He said sadly, "Yes, it was my sister who died."

He was less than sixteen years old at the time, and his father held a low official position. The Zhang family suffered injustices and had to swallow their anger.

Over the past three years, Zhang Zhong abandoned literature and turned to military affairs. His only purpose in life was revenge!

Today was the royal spring hunt, and Zhang Zhong took advantage of the opportunity to seize Jiang Yuzhu's opportunity of being alone.

Who would have thought that Jiang Yuzhu could be more shameless than telling lies with her eyes open?

No wonder the Jiang family has a bad reputation. If she dares to take responsibility for her actions, Zhang Zhong will look up to her.

When the old incident was brought up again, Jiang Yuzhu was unable to react for a moment. She inherited all the memories of the original owner and searched her mind, but she did not remember forcing someone to commit suicide.

"Master Zhang, you said I forced your sister to death. Do you have any evidence?"

Compared with the original owner, Jiang Yuzhu has the advantage of having a mouth. She will never admit to anything she didn't do, even if she dies.

It's strange that the Jiang family doesn't care about rumors, so they are often blamed for a lot of things.

Jiang Yuzhu was numb.

Zhang Zhong was not surprised: "Why, do you still want to deny it?"

"I have nothing to deny. Let's just talk about the facts. You said your sister committed suicide by hanging, and the coroner confirmed it. It wasn't me who killed someone and then disguised it as suicide. How can this be blamed on me?"

"Let's not talk about the fact that I never bullied your sister. Even if I did, and she died from depression, doesn't the Zhang family have any responsibility at all?"

First of all, the maid was definitely not responsible enough.

Furthermore, there is a problem with family education, and they can't get over even the smallest things.

There is no hurdle in life that cannot be overcome. It is always more valuable to grit your teeth and persevere than to end your life easily.

More than three years ago, Jiang Fulu was already the Minister of Personnel.

Jiang Yuzhu's friends are all noble ladies, and she doesn't get along with Wei Jing.

Zhang Hanlin is only a seventh-rank official, and Miss Zhang and Jiang Yuzhu are not in the same circle.

The high-ranking families in the capital were clearly divided. Jiang Yuzhu concluded that Zhang Zhong might have been instigated by a villain and shot the wrong person.

Although the facts are a bit cruel, they make sense.

Xie Zhao suppressed the fluctuations in his eyes and said to Zhang Zhong, "Mr. Zhang, the dead cannot be resurrected. Please accept my condolences. In consideration of your past care for me, I will give you one chance. Do not violate the law."

Recently, Xie Zhao began to gradually understand Jiang Yuzhu. Although she acted according to her own preferences, she was a person who would do evil with an open and honest heart.

"Thank you, sir, you..."

There was a slight softening in Zhang Zhong's eyes. Although he hated Jiang Yuzhu, he admired Xie Zhao very much.

The reason why we were blocked here today was that we did not receive any prior information that Xie Zhao was traveling with us.

Jiang Yuzhu was still angry, so she seized the opportunity and asked, "Are you saying someone sent you a message?"

Zhang Zhong twitched his face and said, "With your reputation, you have so many enemies. Is this surprising?"

The Zhang family moved out of the capital and has been receiving news from the capital in recent years.

Zhang Zhong thought that someone was secretly helping his father because he was an honest official.

Isn’t that the case?

After thinking about it carefully, doubts arise.

Jiang Yuzhu rolled her eyes and said, "You're not that stupid. Yes, there are many people who hate me. Who do you think you are?"
