Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

Tian Chun was lying on the ground, being punched and kicked by four big men.

Two more people tried to pull Aying away, while Mrs. Chun was holding her daughter tightly.

The leader was a fat black man with big ears. When he turned around and saw Jiang Qingwu rushing in, his eyes suddenly lit up and the fat man's eyes were full of lewd smiles.

"Oh my, this is incredible, you have such a beauty hidden in your home..."

Seeing Jiang Qingwu standing there without saying anything, he walked straight over to him.

"If you can't bear to give up the small one, then give it to the big one. This beauty will surely fetch a good price..."

The people who were trying to pull Ah Ying changed direction, and Chun Sao reacted instantly, "Run quickly, girl, they are bad guys, run quickly..."

Mrs. Chun cried and shouted, but Jiang Qingwu did not move.

His eyes gradually became fierce, and a terrifying aura suddenly surged around his body.

However, the thieves did not notice Jiang Qingwu's change and came to pull her with their sleeves rolled up.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Jiang Qingwu subconsciously grabbed the other person's wrist.

With a light twist, he broke the opponent's arm with a snap, and then swung the man away.

"Ah... it hurts... help, boss..."

Hearing the sound, the other people rushed over without saying a word.

But Jiang Qingwu did not retreat at all, and kicked him in the chest.

He turned around and threw him over his shoulder, then turned his head and knocked the big man to the ground with a punch.

Then he jumped up and kicked the man into the yard.

With a bang, the man fell on the paulownia tree and died instantly.

In an instant, the air froze and was as silent as death.

The fat man was so frightened that he trembled all over and retreated repeatedly. Then he and his men disappeared, crawling away.

Mrs. Chun and Tian Chun also froze and looked at Jiang Qingwu in disbelief.

Even she herself stood there in a daze, looking at her hands, and many scenes of her fighting with the men in black emerged in her mind.

Although she still couldn't remember anything, she knew that she and this family were from completely different worlds.

Jiang Qingwu turned his head to look at the three people on the ground, didn't say anything, then turned and walked towards the table beside the bed.

Looking at the ornaments on the table, he asked Chun Sao, "Are these... mine?"

Mrs. Chun nodded in a daze, then reacted, "Yes, it's yours, all yours."

Two gold hairpins, a pair of earrings, and a tassel pearl flower.

Jiang Qingwu picked up the thing, turned around and walked towards Chun Sao.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chun stood up and said, "You... you remember?"

Jiang Qingwu shook his head and stuffed the item into Chun Sao's hand. "Not yet. I came back to get some jewelry as a clue to find out who I am."

"I don't need so much. I only want this hairpin. You can exchange the rest for money."

"I've seen that the earrings are made of top-grade jadeite, the hairpin is made of pure gold, and the tassels and pearls are all East China Sea pearls."

"It should be worth a lot of money."

Having said that, Jiang Qingwu turned around and walked out, holding a simple golden hairpin.

Seeing this, the family of three couldn't help but chase after him.

Jiang Qingwu originally planned to leave, but when he saw the person under the phoenix tree, he couldn't help but walk over.

Upon closer look, he was dead.

"Dead...dead?"

"Ah."

After hearing Jiang Qingwu's reply, Tian Chun was terrified. "He's dead, dead. What should we do? They will definitely report him to the police. Will we be arrested?"

Jiang Qingwu squatted beside the corpse, examined it carefully, stood up and said, "Two ways."

"First, go report to the police and say that I killed him. I'll be waiting here."

"Second, take a shovel and bury him. If the fat man comes back, just deny it and give him money in exchange for what you have."

Mrs. Chun looked at her husband hesitating, then turned around, took the shovel and handed it to him.

"He is buried in the nearby woods."

Seeing that Mrs. Chun had made the decision, Jiang Qingwu didn't say much. He turned around and left with a calm expression.

Seeing this, Sister Chun grabbed Jiang Qingwu and said, "You... your injury has just healed. Why don't you stay and rest for two more days?"

Jiang Qingwu frowned slightly and looked at her in confusion, "Aren't you afraid that the soldiers will come to find you?"

"If we find this place, we'll hide you in the cellar."

It would be better for her to stay. Her mind was in a mess and her memory was sporadic. Maybe after resting for a couple of days, she would remember who she was.

Jiang Qingwu hesitated, raised his eyes and said, "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, yes..."

Jiang Qingwu sat at the stone table in the yard, looking carefully at the gold hairpin in her hand.

There is nothing special about it, just a phoenix shape and exquisite workmanship.

The only thing worth studying is a very small word "Wu" engraved on the gold hairpin.

Mrs. Chun cooked a good meal. She killed a chicken, bought some meat, and fried a table full of dishes.

Jiang Qingwu looked at the food on the table and waved to Ah Ying who was standing beside him, "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry."

"Then eat." Jiang Qingwu handed over the chopsticks.

Ah Ying picked up the chopsticks and started eating without saying a word.

When Mrs. Chun brought over the chicken soup, Aying's mouth was already full of oil.

"You really don't know the rules. Why did you eat first?" Mrs. Chun said as she sat down and served Jiang Qingwu some soup.

After Jiang Qingwu took the small bowl, he hesitated for a moment and then handed it to Aying.

Mrs. Chun smiled and said nothing. She filled another bowl and handed it to Jiang Qingwu.

"The girl is obviously from a wealthy family and a kind person. Don't worry about Ah Ying. This girl has no manners..."

Then, he shouted at Ah Ying, "Why don't you thank me, sister? I bought all this with my money..."

"Thank you sister..."

Jiang Qingwu stared blankly at the small bowl he had taken, muttering absentmindedly, "No, it's..."

"Others always eat before I do." Jiang Qingwu murmured thoughtfully.

At first, she was frightened by the Queen Mother. Later, before every meal, Xiao Luzi would use a silver needle to test for poison and would also taste the food for her.

Sister Chun was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly, "Alas, a young lady from a wealthy family is so pitiful. How can you eat others before you eat them?"

Jiang Qingwu came back to his senses, looked at Ah Ying eating happily, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

She was wondering if this mother and daughter would harm her?

Jiang Qingwu thought about it and started eating.

"By the way, after eating, go to the house and rest. Don't worry, Aying and I will be here all the time."

"If there are really soldiers coming, we can hide in advance."

Jiang Qingwu nodded, muttering in confusion, "Are the soldiers... coming to arrest me?"

"Probably. I heard a lot of people are searching door to door."

"I heard before that the imperial court is chasing wanted criminals. It is said that there is a young lady from a certain family who has not been captured yet..."

"Don't you know that the new emperor has ascended the throne and his ministers are appointed according to his dynasty? Who knows, maybe you are the daughter of an official from some family?"

"Don't think too much. When you're healed, maybe you'll remember it."

Jiang Qingwu lowered his head and ate, nodding thoughtfully, but he always felt something was wrong.

The sky gradually darkened. Jiang Qingwu was sleeping, and Chun Sao woke her up in a panic.

"Girl, girl, get up quickly. The soldiers will be here soon. There is a cellar behind the house. Hide quickly..."

The moment Jiang Qingwu was pulled up, his body felt a little weightless, his chest felt congested, and he felt dizzy.

"You...what's wrong with you? You look so bad..."

Jiang Qingwu shook his head slightly and followed Chun Sao to the cellar behind the house.

Hay, wooden planks, dirt steps.

After Jiang Qingwu went down, the woman lowered her voice and warned, "Girl, no matter what happens, don't come out..."

"There's water and food in the cellar. When there's no movement, come up..."

Jiang Qingwu nodded and walked inside.

The cellar was quite large, with an oil lamp lit, and some sweet potatoes and farming tools stored in it.

Jiang Qingwu was a little out of breath, staggered a few steps, his heart was churning, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
