Perhaps the water temperature was just right, or perhaps my cousin's voice was too soft; the words just slipped out of her mouth without her realizing it.

"She wants me to destroy you and take away the safety amulet you wear."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Tian Tian regretted it, biting her lip. How could she have accidentally blurted out the truth?

The peasants in this village are all like they've gone mad. If Ruan Xianxian goes out and screams, will she be able to walk out unscathed?

Ruan Xianxian chuckled almost imperceptibly, "What safety buckle? Didn't we already exchange that dusty jade pendant for a peace pendant?"

"Are you here to retrieve that 'nothing to worry about' plaque?"

Tian Tian shook her head. It was either a peace charm or a safety charm. Since she had already spoken and was under someone's roof, she told them everything she knew.

In exchange for my cousin no longer being jealous.

No, as long as she doesn't cause trouble behind her back because she told the truth, and lets her live a good life from now on, she never wants to go back to Beijing again.

The water had gotten a little cold. She stood up from the bathtub and dried herself. "I can tell you everything I know, and you have to promise me that you won't hold anything against me for what happened in the past."

Before Ruan Xianxian could reply, he continued speaking to himself.

"Last month, I received a telegram from Beijing. Baozhu said that she wanted to transfer me to a place with a better environment to go to the countryside."

After my initial excitement subsided, I became suspicious. If they really wanted to help me, why didn't they prepare a job for me and just let me return to Beijing?

So I deliberately damaged collective property, which made the brigade unable to tolerate me any longer, and I was sent back to my place of origin and reassigned.

What good place could a re-exiled person find? But I must return to the capital and meet with Ruan Baozhu face to face to find out her true purpose.

Ruan Xianxian didn't interrupt, her expression playful. "See? In the Ruan family, who's the fool?!"

"Upon meeting them, I discovered that despite your attacks and looting, the Ruan family not only did not decline, but instead showed signs of rising to a higher level."

"That idiot Ruan Baozhu spilled everything without me even trying to get her to tell me anything."

It turns out that after Ruan Baozhu was discharged from the hospital, she went crazy for some reason and insisted on going to the provincial capital, as if she had lost her mind.

At the time, the Ruan family was in chaos, and Lu Yi had no time to pay attention to her. He simply wrote a letter of introduction and sent her away.

He returned two weeks later with a first-class merit award and a powerful man by his side.

"It is said that she not only saved the man's life, but also helped bring back a researcher, for which she was awarded a first-class merit by the organization."

Even my maternal grandfather was praised by name from above.

The Ruan family was enjoying unparalleled success for a time, and everyone praised Grandpa for raising such a wonderful granddaughter.

"Wait." Ruan Xianxian, who had noticed the slippage, made a stop gesture.

"With Ruan Baozhu's tiny, frail body, it's already a miracle that she managed to travel all the way to the provincial capital without being kidnapped, and she even helped complete a mission. Is that reasonable...?"

Halfway through her sentence, Ruan Xianxian suddenly stopped talking, which was quite reasonable, as if she had foreseen the future.

Could it be that Ruan Baozhu is like her? Someone who gets a second chance?

Ruan Xianxian had already become suspicious from the moment she tried to steal her system.

No, in her previous life, the jade pendant was also stolen. So, starting from her previous life, Ruan Baozhu had memories of that life.

The timeline is a bit messy. To put it simply, no matter which life Ruan Xianxian is in, she always encounters Ruan Baozhu, who is a reincarnation of her past life.

[System, system...]

After calling out twice, he remembered that he had returned to the commune, and the system went to upgrade, so he hasn't woken up yet.

Still feeling that something was off about her idea, she listened to what Tian Tian had to say, "You continue."

"Right? Not only you, everyone thinks it's unreasonable. Ruan Baozhu's explanation to everyone was that she was in a bad mood and wanted to go to Dian Province to relax, and it just so happened to be there."

Ruan Xianxian's story is too complicated to explain in a few words.

Tian Tian continued, "Whether others believe it or not is hard to say, but Grandpa firmly believes it and tells everyone he meets: Baozhu has been lucky since childhood and is a born lucky star."

Later, she grew closer to the man surnamed Gu whom she had rescued. "The fact that I was able to come to such a good place as Heilongjiang Province after being deported is also thanks to their connections."

After saying that, Ruan Xianxian smiled and remained silent.

Tian Tian got angry and said, "I've told you everything I know. I'm telling you not to push a good person too far."

"If something happens to me here, the Ruan family will surely be delighted, as it will give them a reason to cause trouble for you."

Ruan Xianxian laughed and laughed, but her eyes were freezing, making Tian Tian's tailbone go numb and chill her to the bone.

That was an undisguised, naked murderous intent; she had seen similar looks in movies.

"Don't look at me like that. I... I still have something to say. I'm very useful."

Tian Tian spoke quickly, "I don't believe in good luck at all. Baozhu is not only unlucky, but I've known her for a long time and I know she's a real jinx."

Yet, he possessed an eerie quality that allowed him to escape danger unscathed.

I felt something was wrong, so I pretended to be a ghost and eavesdropped on the conversation between the grandfather and granddaughter. I didn't hear much of it, but I did hear the grandfather ask Baozhu if she had been having any dreams lately.

That's all.

Tian Tian finished speaking in one breath, then stared in horror at her cousin who was stroking a dark iron pipe with her fingertips. Although she couldn't see the whole thing clearly, she knew it was a gun barrel.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! Many people saw me following you. If I die here or disappear, you won't be able to explain it."

"My dear sister." Ruan Xianxian's laughter went from a low chuckle to a loud laugh, and then to a distorted expression as she grabbed Tian Tian by the neck.

"You've taken such good care of me since I was little, how can I ever repay you?"

"Waaah..." Tian Tian struggled desperately, until her face gradually turned from pale to purplish-red, and her eyeballs even showed signs of bulging. Just when she thought she was about to die here...

Ruan Xianxian finally let go. She seemed to be trying her best to restrain something, or perhaps she was enduring too much hardship, as her cheeks twitched abnormally.

"Even if both are settled."

"What did you say?" Tian Tian asked hoarsely as she slumped to the ground, clutching her throat and desperately taking deep breaths.

Her eyes were filled with fear, almost unable to meet those seemingly smiling eyes, but she still heard clearly, "This madman," she said, "we're even."

Ruan Xianxian seemed to have suppressed the primal power within her, and returned to her smiling and adorable appearance, personally helping her up.

"Cousin, let's make a deal. Once it's done, we're even, okay?"

Tian Tian almost instinctively avoided her crazy cousin's touch, but when she met her cousin's suddenly gloomy face, she could only tremble as she placed her hand on her cousin's and let her help her up.

"W-what deal?"

"You probably guessed it already, my safety amulet is a treasure. As long as you help me get it back from Ruan Baozhu, we'll be even from now on."

How about it? "

Ruan Xianxian smiled sweetly, like an innocent and naive child, but Tian Tian dared not trust her anymore. She was a madwoman who would kill her at the slightest disagreement!

“Be good, listen to me! You can pretend to agree and then run away, but what about your mother, my aunt?”

"They always say the son pays for the father's debts. If I can't kill you, I'll take it out on her to vent my anger. Is that too much to ask?"
