Chapter 4: Look in the mirror more often and always remember your identity
Deng Zheng, who was still toasting his colleagues, changed color when he heard this.
This man is the biggest flatterer in Dongji. He is cruel and ruthless. The Silver Dragon Guard under his command has direct access to the emperor. Even the emperor's relatives are afraid of him.
Because he was loyal only to the emperor, he never engaged in factional struggles.
He always keeps to himself, whether in the government or the public, and no one has ever heard that he has any friends or like-minded people.
It has nothing to do with their Zhenguo Mansion!
"What is he doing here?"
Deng Zheng felt a chill all over his body, and always felt that this person had bad intentions.
"He said he wanted to celebrate our eldest lady's birthday." Xiao Si replied.
These words made Deng Zheng even more frightened.
When did Lian Er get to know this evil god? !
But it’s good that we’re not here to raid his house or put him in jail.
"Please come in quickly."
Now that people are at the door, it would be unreasonable not to invite them in.
The visitor was dressed in white, with a high ponytail, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was suave. His deepness was matched with the mischievousness that only teenagers have.
As she walked, her clothes fluttered and the light and shadows danced.
He is the most favored person in the whole East.
Also the most capable.
I heard that it took him only five years to climb to this position.
He was so powerful that even the royal family had to bow their heads and call him "Commander Li" when they saw him.
If that handsome young man's face wasn't filled with too much murderous aura, he would surely be the dream lover of all the girls in the capital.
As Li Tianzhuo walked in, the entire noisy banquet suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
"It is a blessing for my daughter that the commander has time to come here, and it also brings honor to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion."
Deng Zheng said politely.
"You are too polite, Duke."
Li Tianzhuo spoke with a smile on his face, looking like a harmless young man.
"Oh, the prince is here too."
With a glance, he saw Prince Jun Wenci sitting opposite Deng Xuelian.
Although he was smiling on the surface, in his heart he had already wanted to kill Jun Wenci and Deng Xuelian, the two bitches, a thousand times.
In the previous life, if it weren’t for them, Ningning wouldn’t have suffered so much and would have been beaten to death in the end!
How painful it must be for her!
Thinking of this, Li Tianzhuo's eyes became even more sinister.
Fortunately, they were far apart, and Jun Wenci’s eyesight couldn’t be that good, so he probably couldn’t see it.
After exchanging greetings with Jun Wenci, Li Tianzhuo sent someone to deliver his gift to Deng Xuelian.
"Lian'er, why don't you thank the commander quickly?"
Although Deng Zheng didn't know how Deng Xuelian knew Li Tianzhuo, he really hoped to establish a relationship with Li Tianzhuo.
He is now the Duke of Zhenguo. If he can be on good terms with Li Tianzhuo, he can act arrogantly in the court!
"Lian'er thanks Commander Li."
Deng Xuelian's voice was so soft and sticky that it made people feel numb in their bones.
Many men at the table could no longer control themselves and wanted to get close to her, but Li Tianzhuo felt extremely annoyed when he heard this.
"Miss, don't you want to open it and take a look?"
Li Tianzhuo asked in a playful tone.
Deng Xuelian didn't know what to do. She looked at Deng Zheng and only opened the box after getting his consent.
There was actually an ordinary mirror inside.
Deng Xuelian, who had seen countless rare treasures, felt a little disappointed because this mirror looked extremely ordinary no matter how you looked at it.
She picked up the mirror, really confused, and asked curiously:
"May I ask, Commander, what is so special about this mirror?"
Gu, who was standing by, also took the mirror and looked carefully, but found nothing else.
"No need to worry, it's just an ordinary mirror."
"I hope Miss Deng can look in the mirror more often, always remember who she is, and remember how she got everything she has today!"
At this point, the faces of the entire Deng family instantly fell.
Li Tianzhuo was very proud when he saw this, and left with a loud laugh.
The confused guests thought he was crazy. After all, he was a treacherous and vicious man and was mentally ill.
However, the Deng family members who knew Deng Xuelian's identity felt a chill in their hearts.
They hid Deng Xuelian's life experience for sixteen years, how could Li Tianzhuo know?
And why did he suddenly start to meddle in the affairs of their Duke Zhenguo Mansion?
What on earth does this mean? !
Li Tianzhuo's expression changed instantly when he walked out of the Deng family's gate.
He was smiling ostentatiously one second, and his face became so gloomy as if he wanted to kill someone the next second.
"Sir, calm down. Jiang Yuan sent back a message that Miss Deng will be arriving in the capital soon."
Xiu Ming, the guard beside Li Tianzhuo, came forward to report.
After hearing the news from Deng Youning, Li Tianzhuo's expression improved a lot.
"Is her injury better?" he continued to inquire.
"It's been almost a month, and Miss Deng is already full of life."
"I heard that she is very skilled in martial arts. That minor injury is not a problem for someone who practices martial arts."
This news made Li Tianzhuo happy from the bottom of his heart.
That feeling was even greater than the excitement he had felt when he was reborn a few days ago.
In this life, her martial arts skills have not been wasted!
In this life, he was reborn, bringing with him the memories of his past life, and he would definitely protect her for the rest of her life.
"Let's go back home."
He instructed calmly and stepped onto the carriage.
Along the way, he was playing with the half piece of jade on his waist.
It's as if seeing the object reminds me of the person, and I can't let it go.

Deng Youning and Han Qiongyue's carriages also arrived at the outskirts of the capital today.
Feeling that it was safe under the emperor's feet, and the people of the Silver Dragon Guard were going to the next county to handle a case, they left first.
Along the way, Deng Youning was studying the books on the art of poison in the Wanshe Valley library.
After all, he had been influenced by his surroundings since childhood, and in less than a month, he had achieved some success.
"We'll be arriving in Beijing soon. Have a cup of tea."
Seeing that her granddaughter was studying hard, Han Qiongyue personally poured a cup of tea for Deng Youning.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Deng Youning took the cup of water with a faint smile.
They were about to arrive in Beijing. Although she sat quietly in the car with a blank expression on her face, her surroundings were filled with a calmness that was not appropriate for someone of her age.
Although it seems calm, every part of the body is actually clamoring.
The place where she desperately wanted to escape in her previous life, but in this life she was willing to join.
Seeing her calm appearance, Han Qiongyue really couldn't understand her.
Is she really a girl who grew up in a mountain valley like the Ten Thousand Snake Valley?
Along the way, he saw that her character and personality were completely different from those of the sinister and vicious sects in the Wanshe Valley.
Such a good girl should be her bloodline!
“Bang—”
The carriage suddenly stopped.
"Madam, Miss, there is a group of bandits outside."
The maid accompanying the carriage lifted a corner of the curtain and reported in a low voice.
"Strange, there are people who dare to hijack a car outside the capital city, under the feet of the emperor?"
Han Qiongyue felt that there might be something else going on.
She just didn't believe it. Who was so bold as to stop the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?
"Who are you? You dare to rob my Zhenguo Mansion. Aren't you afraid that your entire clan will be in danger?"
Han Qiongyue has a strong aura, and her gray hair and old appearance actually add a bit of majesty to her.
The arrogant look made the robbers' knife-wielding hands tremble three times.
"Humph, we are robbing corrupt officials like you!"
The leading robber shouted sternly, ordering his men to take action.
Madam Dou and the remaining maids protected Han Qiongyue, and the situation on both sides was already tense.
However, the robbers stopped after running a few steps forward.
A group of densely packed insects appeared in front of them, including centipedes, scorpions, snakes... and many small insects that they didn't recognize.
"Grandma, should we kill these people?"
