She changed her name and surname, never looked back, and never returned to that mountain.
And this life is completely different from the previous one.
She was born with a good pair of parents, and her brothers treated her very well.
Everything that happened in the previous life seems like a passing cloud.
But through Fang Yuan, Ji Yunxi saw herself stumbling back then.
When she was most desperate and surrounded by enemies, she wished so much that someone would appear and give her a little help, just a little.
But not.
She has always been alone from beginning to end, and those who seem to want to hold her hand.
In the end, it was confirmed that they were all fake and they were all trying to push her into the abyss.
So, she was willing to help Fang Yuan.
But she did feel a little sad for herself in her previous life.

In the secret room, in the box containing various small mechanisms, there were only fifty taels left.
Wu Weian's expression was indifferent. He put the human skins back one by one, put the box back in place, and left the secret room.
Outside the secret room, Manager Yuan was waiting eagerly.
Wu Weian held the two thousand taels of silver in his hand, without saying a word or giving it to anyone, but instead gave Manager Yuan a meaningful look.
What a coincidence.
As soon as Manager Yuan opened his mouth, he asked for two thousand taels.
What a coincidence, he just happened to have two thousand taels in his hand.
The manager lowered his head and bent his body, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
Wu Weian threw two thousand taels of silver at him, and Manager Yuan caught it.
Wu Weian immediately turned around and left. He didn't want to see Manager Yuan again.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Wu Weian stepped in.
Ji Yunxi leaned on the beauty couch, holding a book in her hand, as usual.
Wu Weian walked past her with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless.
But after taking three steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at her, then looked at her again.
She lowered her head, seemingly reading a book, but she hadn't turned a single page.
Wu Wei'an asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Ji Yunxi came back to her senses, turned a page of a book, and said casually: "No."
She raised her head, her expression normal, and asked him, "Why do you ask that suddenly?"
"Oh." Wu Weian looked away and sighed softly, "Because I'm in a bad mood."
Ji Yunxi was puzzled: "Why?"
Wu Wei'an replied, "I met the wrong person."
Ji Yunxi frowned.
I always feel that the 'person' he is talking about seems to be her, but also seems not to be her.
She closed the book, not wanting to guess, and asked directly, "Are you talking about me? What did I do to you?"
"Of course it's not you. You didn't do anything to me." Wu Weian shook his head. "Let's not talk about it. It's bad luck not to talk about him. Do you drink?"
Ji Yunxi: “?”
Wu Wei'an: "I have a collection of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. Would you like to drink some to get rid of the bad luck?"
Ji Yunxi thought about it and nodded: "Okay."

The wind is cool on summer nights.
The moonlight above is clear and the stars are twinkling.
Ji Yunxi hugged her knees and sat on the eaves of her bedroom.
Waiting for someone to get the wine.
Not far away, Wu Weian took light steps and leaped between the eaves.
Within a few moments, he arrived, tugged at his clothes, sat down beside her, and casually handed her a pot of wine.
When Ji Yunxi opened the paper, she smelled a faint fragrance of osmanthus.
She took a sip, and the smell of alcohol made her face frown.
But soon, she returned to normal and drank it sip by sip, as if she was drinking water.
Wu Wei'an glanced at her and chuckled: "You seem to have a good alcohol tolerance."
Ji Yunxi looked up at the moon in the sky: "Not bad."
Wu Weian nodded without saying anything more. He took a few sips of wine and admired the moon quietly for a while. He was just about to talk to her.
The person who was sitting there drinking suddenly had his head tilted downwards and looked like he was about to fall.
Wu Weian was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed her collar and pulled her back.
Ji Yunxi leaned towards him following his force.
The fragrance of the woman's makeup filled his nose, and Wu Weian's breathing paused slightly.
Ji Yunxi rubbed her temples with one hand, widened the distance between them, sat up dazed, looked at him, and apologized politely: "Sorry."
Wu Weian looked at her.
Before she knew it, her face had turned red and her eyes were blurry.
But when she apologized, you could tell she was trying hard to straighten her expression.
He looked at me with an indescribable expression: "Is this what you said is okay?"
She only drank a few sips and she's already this drunk?
Ji Yunxi took another sip from the wine flask to prove to him: "I am okay."
Wu Weian: “…”
He shook his head and ignored her, letting her drink.
After all, the wine has been opened and she has drunk it, so she has to finish it and not waste it.
Fifteen cents a pot.
Thinking of the fifteen coins, Wu Weian sighed and couldn't understand why he gave the Fang family four thousand taels.
Ji Yunxi shook her dizzy head, smiled lightly, and looked at him: "More than that."
Wu Weian turned his head, his eyes fell on her extremely beautiful face, and his voice subconsciously became much softer: "Oh, it's more than that. You also asked Fang Yuan to send a large bag of silver."
Ji Yunxi nodded, then nodded again, her smile deepening, her tone slightly smug: "That's right. Do you know why?"
"I know." Wu Wei'an had never looked at her features so carefully before. "Wealth does not match position, it is dangerous."
Women who are poor and not smart enough but are too beautiful will end up in a miserable situation.
It is not a blessing for people who are unable to keep their wealth to have too much money. It is a bomb that can be fired at any time.
Ji Yunxi nodded heavily, with a hint of admiration in her misty eyes.
Wu Weian retracted his gaze and pursed his lips: "But I think one thousand taels is enough."
