Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Just when Zhou Xinyue didn't dare to look up, the person sitting in the upper seat spoke up: "Since you are all here, please sit down and finish these things. I have other important things to deal with. Those who need to speak should hurry up."

Zhou Xinyue knew at once that the person sitting in the main seat must be the master of the mansion, Master Tianyu. He was indeed an old general who had been on many battlefields. The aura that shocked the whole audience was more than ten times stronger than that of Shilang. Zhou Xinyue felt that if she could live to this level, it would be worth it.

Looking at the appearance of Fourth Aunt and her daughter, Zhou Xinyue knew without thinking that it was Tianyu who beat them. The blow was quite heavy. How could a woman withstand a slap from a man, not to mention a general who used to hold a knife and arrow all year round? However, since it was Fourth Aunt who was beaten, Zhou Xinyue still felt good in her heart.

Just as Zhou Xinyue was secretly delighted, the fourth concubine cried and said loudly: "I want to kill her, I want to kill her, I want to gnaw her bones, drink her blood, and eat her flesh, but, since you told me your idea that day, I gave up the idea of ​​killing her that day. I thought about what you said about sending her to the eldest lady after the ceremony of giving her a name and hairpin after she entered the family, so I gave up the idea of ​​killing her. How could I send someone to do it? Master, I am really wronged, I am really wronged."

Zhou Xinyue looked at the Fourth Aunt who was crying and pointing at her from time to time and she probably understood that she must have been assassinated and the news was reported back to the mansion, so the master stepped forward to solve it. It seemed that he thought it was the Fourth Aunt, and Zhou Xinyue also thought it was her. Who else would send someone to assassinate her except her?

At this time, the fourth concubine cried and shouted again: "Jin Lang was ruined by her, Master, I really hate him. Master, we have spent so much effort on the child. Now the child is about to grow up, and before he can get a good name and enter the official career, he was killed by this lowly maid. How can I not hate him? How can I not hate him, Master? But later I felt that she was going to be driven out anyway, so I didn't want to do it, because Master you said that the eldest girl would find a husband for her there and marry her, so I let it go, I really let it go, please believe me. Master, I really didn't, it wasn't me, it wasn't me, I was really wronged!"

Zhou Xinyue frowned as she watched Fourth Aunt crying so sadly. She was almost believing her. She acted so realistically. She was full of admiration for her.

Zhou Xinyue glanced at Fourth Aunt's exaggerated acting and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Yu Han also cried and shouted: "Ever since mother locked up my daughter and Fourth Auntie to reflect on themselves, we have never stepped out of the courtyard, let alone contacted outsiders. We were watched tightly and had no time at all. Father, please believe me, my daughter can really swear to heaven that Fourth Auntie really did not do these things, father, please believe me."

At this time, Shilang nodded, and a man was brought in. He was dressed in black. Zhou Xinyue recognized him at once as one of the men in black who were chasing them.

Shilang continued coldly, "If it weren't for the deep friendship between our former subordinates in the army, we would have been able to ignore or even keep such news secret. If they hadn't informed us in time, I'm afraid Goudan and his group would have died that day."

Master Tianyu sighed and said, "They have worked hard. Although they have retired from the front line, our friendship remains unchanged. We once lived and died together, and the memory will live forever."

Shilang went on to say, "They didn't kill him at the time. Maybe the guards felt it. They just wanted to kill Goudan. This man had an affair with Ah Mei, who was with the eldest lady, many years ago. When my mother found out, she drove them both out of the house. I'm afraid he was holding a grudge and wanted revenge."

Tian Yu pulled a face, nodded, and said in a very low voice: "Wake him up."

Soon, Shilang asked someone to wake up the man in black. As soon as he woke up, he started howling like a ghost. If it weren't for the cloth strip stuffed in his mouth, his screams would have broken the sky.

Tian Yu walked over slowly, looked him over, and suddenly picked up a sword, piercing his calf in an instant.

In a cold tone, he said in a low voice: "Who sent you?"

Although there was a cloth strip stuffed in his mouth, the man in black roared and groaned in pain.

It seemed as if he was talking about a person's name, Tian Yu, and he chopped off the cloth strip with a sword. The man in black immediately shouted, "Fourth Aunt, it was Fourth Aunt, it was her, she ordered me to do it."

At this time, the fourth concubine looked at the man in black in horror and shouted, "It's not me, it's not me, Master, it's not me, I don't know this man at all. Master, Master, you have to believe me, I don't know him at all."

Tian Yu sneered and said, "Are you sure it was the Fourth Aunt who ordered you to do that?"

The man in black nodded and said, "Yes, it's her, that's her."

Tian Yu continued, "Aren't you willing to die rather than surrender? I heard from Shi Lang that you were prepared to take poison rather than surrender, so why are you pointing out the mastermind right now? Aren't you being inconsistent?"

The man in black defended himself, "I just figured it out. I suddenly don't want to die anymore. Yes, I don't want to die anymore. I want to go home. Go home."

Zhou Xinyue took a deep breath and muttered to herself, "If it wasn't her who ordered this, then who could it be? Could it be that Goudan had another lover before? Who could be the person hiding in the dark?"

Just when Zhou Xinyue was feeling dizzy, Tianyu continued, "Shi'er, bring him up."

Shilang nodded, and the servant brought in a masked woman. The servant took off the headscarf. The woman blinked a few times and looked around with a very scared look. Suddenly she saw the man and shouted, "Master, I'm so scared. Where is this? My child, my child, Master, they have taken my child away."

The man shouted, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here."

The woman screamed frantically: "Give the child back to me, give the child back to me."

Tian Yu continued in a cold tone: "If you want a child, it's easy, bring it up."

A young child was brought up, and Shilang said, "They hid very well, in a secret compartment in a warehouse behind their home. If it weren't for the fire attack, they might not have been discovered at all."

Tian Yu nodded and continued to ask: "Tell me, who is the person who ordered you to do this? If you don't confess, I will kill your wife and children right now."

The man shook his head nervously and said, "I am telling the truth. It was the Fourth Aunt who ordered me to do this. No one else. It was the Fourth Aunt who ordered me to do this."

"You are talking nonsense. I don't know you at all. You are slandering me. Master, he is lying. I don't know him at all. I can swear to heaven that I definitely did not initiate this assassination. Master, you must believe me."

Zhou Xinyue glanced at the Fourth Aunt with a sidelong glance, feeling very disgusted with her, but the current situation became more and more confusing.

“Why aren’t you telling the truth?” Tian Yu raised his knife and instantly chopped off the woman’s left hand.
