Ji Zhinan's expression changed again: "Continue."
“When Gou Xiuqin heard this, she panicked and quickly sent me away. I’m not stupid; I knew there must be something going on inside. I went out on the surface, but I was actually eavesdropping outside. Because there was a door between us, they weren’t speaking very loudly, so I only heard a little bit. I heard Ji Zhixia talking about things like a safe, the old man finding it, an argument, and accidentally pushing it down.”
Fearing that Ji Zhinan would think she was useless for setting herself on fire, Aunt Min quickly continued, "Although I didn't hear the whole thing, I can guarantee that Ji Zhixia is inescapably involved in the old man's accident!"
"Second Miss, that's all I know. I beg you, please spare me. I've lived all these years without children. I followed Gou Xiuqin only hoping for a better life. Now I'm almost fifty, and I truly know I was wrong. If you're willing to let me go, I promise I'll never appear before you again and embarrass you. I... I'll go back to my hometown. I'll never come to the capital again. Please, have mercy, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
Some people were arrogant and domineering when they committed many evils, but now that a knife is at their throat, they are willing to admit their mistakes. It's really ironic.
Ji Zhinan lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.
After a full five minutes, she suddenly stood up.
Seeing that Ji Zhinan moved, Aunt Min thought she was about to attack, and her emotions became agitated again: "Second Miss, you are of such high status, you can't dirty your hands for a worthless person like me!"
“You’re right,” Ji Zhinan said calmly. “You’re not worthy of dirtying my hands.”
She glanced at the lighter in her hand, then her gaze fell on Aunt Min: "A person like you is only fit to fend for yourself. You've enjoyed so many years of good fortune, now it's time for your retribution."
Her hand suddenly loosened, and the lighter fell to the ground.
Ji Zhinan turned around and strode away from the cabin. The sound of her high heels faded into the distance. The cabin door opened and closed, and then Aunt Min could no longer see Ji Zhinan's figure.
Leaving the cabin, Ji Zhinan showed no hesitation and went straight down the mountain.
It's not that I'm soft-hearted, nor that I'm weak or incompetent.
When she was first reborn, she was single-minded and only wanted to drag Ji Zhixia and Mu Zeyu to hell. She was willing to give her life to make those worthless people pay for their punishment.
Things are different now. She has Gu Yibei, and she wants to live well for Gu Yibei.
As for Aunt Min, she naturally wouldn't let her off the hook either.
This mountain is deserted, and the cabin has been abandoned for many years. There is no water or food, and a person's lifespan is only a few days.
Even if she hadn't done it, by the time someone discovered Aunt Min, she would have already starved to death.
Starvation is a painful way to die. Aunt Min has committed many sins over the years, and she deserves to suffer this pain.
Inside the cabin—it wasn't until long after Ji Zhinan had left that Aunt Min finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Thank goodness...
Ji Zhinan is gone; she now has plenty of opportunities to escape.
Aunt Min struggled desperately, but her hands were tightly bound and she couldn't break free.
She twisted and turned for a while, until she was panting heavily.
Aunt Min's eyes lit up when her gaze suddenly fell on the lighter on the ground.
A lighter can burn through the rope, allowing you to leave.
Having made up her mind, she placed all her hopes on the lighter not far away.
We can escape! We'll be able to escape soon!
