Now that you're reborn, who would still keep a mistress for their scumbag husband?

"Answer me obediently, and I will give you a way out." Dou Jinzhao was about to raise his hand to pat Tuoba Yu's cheek, but Ling Jinglan quickly pulled him behind him.

Tuoba Yu looked at the two men strangely. Ling Jinglan's eyes made him see the threat of death. She was so indifferent as if she was looking at a dead person. He did not dare to disobey. "She is dead. She was one of my secret guards. After Dou Miaojin reported me, she died to protect me."

This was an insignificant matter, so Dou Jinzhao didn't dwell on it. "Why did you think of bringing Dou Miaojin back to Xiliang?"

"Ha!" Tuoba Yu sneered, "If you bring a bed-warming thing that comes to your door, it's just like having another dog that needs to eat."

"Okay!" Dou Jinzhao didn't ask any more questions. "I saved you just to give the world another dog that needs to eat. You can go on your own after you recover from your injuries."

Tuoba Yu was shocked. "Why did you save me? Who asked you to save me?"

Rescuing him from the army was not an easy task, but it was a little easier for Yanzhi Jian.

"You should be thankful that the person you provoked was Dou Miaojin. As long as she's alive, you have value in living. The fact that you eloped with her is a fact that I'll keep in mind for now. I saved you, and you owe me a favor. Sooner or later, I'll make you pay it back."

After Dou Jinzhao finished speaking, he walked out of the dungeon.

The night wind blew, and it was already very cold in the mountains in late autumn. Ling Jinglan took a cloak from Jianlu, took two steps forward, and draped it over Dou Jinzhao's shoulders. She held the edge of the cloak. Ling Jinglan had already walked around to the front, and his slender fingers helped her tie the belt clumsily.

This is a men's cloak with the hem hanging down to the ankles.

The two walked side by side, Dou Jinzhao wrapped in his cloak, listening to Ling Jinglan say, "You rescued Tuoba Yu from the army just to let Lu Changyuan know that Dou Miaojin had eloped with him? What would he think if he knew in the future that you were the Rouge Sword?"

Dou Jinzhao's voice was chilly, "I won't let him know that I'm Rouge Sword."

Back then, the master once said that if she entered the world, she should never let anyone know who Rouge Sword was?

In order to marry Lu Changyuan, she gave up her identity as Yanzhi Jian.

Ling Jinglan also knew about this. He looked at the night sky, feeling helpless. "Let's go. Do you want to go down the mountain or stay here for a night? Lu Changyuan rushed up the mountain overnight to buy some information."

"I have to hurry back. The mistress of Duke Dingguo's mansion did not return all night. If this news gets out, it will not be good."

"Mistress? The mistress of the Duke Dingguo's mansion is more majestic than Yanzhijian? Want freedom? Dou Jinzhao, sometimes I really don't know what's going on in your head? If you think the status of a noble lady in the capital is so good, how about I give you a higher status than this?"

Seeing Lu bringing a horse for her, Dou Jinzhao climbed onto the horse. Ling Jinglan looked up at her, her peach blossom eyes darker than the starry sky on a winter night.

Dou Jinzhao retracted her gaze. The timing of her rebirth was too bad. It was on the night of her wedding. If it could be a day earlier...

"Just think of it as a donkey kicking my head!" Dou Jinzhao squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the Arabian horse leaped out.

The cloak fluttered in the wind, and a clear scent mixed with masculine scent enveloped her. She lived her life again, and in this life, she would never let anyone hurt them again.

In the main hall of Feng Ye Ting Hai, the light from lanterns made the surroundings as bright as day, and the fragrance of a few late-blooming osmanthus trees was so rich that it diluted the aroma of tea.

Lu Changyuan waited for a while before Ling Jinglan came over. The two of them knelt down across the table. Lu Changyuan's eyes swept across the mask on Ling Jinglan's face, but he didn't dare to look directly at her.

"Duke Dingguo came here late at night. I wonder what advice you have for me?"

Ling Jinglan's voice was cold. In the light, his jawline was clear and sharp. His peach blossom eyes were glowing with a cold light. His eyes were drooping and his expression was lazy, making people wonder if he had been pulled out of bed by someone. He looked like he had not woken up yet and was extremely impatient.

Lu Changyuan also knew that he came at a wrong time, so he went straight to the point, "I dare not give you any advice, but I came here to get some information. Master Jinglan should know that I came back from Weizhou with two Xiliang spies, and one of them was kidnapped by Yanzhijian today. I want to know why?"

Ling Jinglan picked up the teacup and took a sip. He had no interest in anything. After a long while, he stretched out his hand and saw Lu taking a brocade bag and placing it in his palm.

"One hundred taels of silver."

Lu Changyuan thought there was something wrong with his ears and couldn't believe it. "Only... one hundred taels?"

Ling Jinglan did not speak, and Jian Lu explained, "Duke Dingguo, Feng Ye Ting Hai sets the price based on the value of the information and the mood of my young master."

So, is your master in a good mood or a bad mood right now?

Lu Changyuan took out a hundred taels of silver and placed it on the table, then took the brocade bag.

Ling Jinglan stood up and said, "Duke Dingguo, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm sleepy!"

He said, and walked away slowly.

Lu Changyuan opened the brocade bag directly and saw the message inside, "Prince Tuoba Yu of Xiliang". He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Everything makes sense. The Prince of Xiliang is worthy of Rouge Sword's attack, isn't it?

He should have suspected Tuoba Yu's identity long ago. He should have suspected him the moment Rouge Sword appeared. However, he was really bewildered at the time. When he saw Rouge Sword, her agile skills, ruthless tricks, and treacherous movements, which were as courageous as a man, he was unable to even think.

"Why did Yanzhi Jian save Tuoba Yu? Who asked her to save him?" As soon as Lu Changyuan thought about it, he thought that Yanzhi Jian might have taken a fancy to Tuoba Yu, and he was so annoyed that he wanted to kill him.

Jianlu saw that Lu Changyuan looked like he was going crazy and thought, no wonder the young master only sold him for a hundred taels. This news has already shocked Duke Dingguo to the point of being unable to take it anymore.

"Well, Duke Dingguo, if you want to buy the news, you still have to go through the normal process. It's too late now. We are closing now."

At the Dou family, Dou Mengshen was carried back like a dead dog. He was pale, had several broken ribs, and was in severe pain in his dantian. He felt like he would rather die than live.

Dou Yi was furious when he saw his proud son in such a state. "Isn't this just an assassination of a prisoner? How could the eldest son be injured like this?"

Are all the people who followed dead?

"Yes, it's the Rouge Sword!" As soon as Dou Mengshen opened his mouth, large mouthfuls of blood spurted out.

It is a great honor for him to be able to come back alive.

"Rouge Sword? Why would Rouge Sword wade into such muddy water?" Dou Yi was shocked.

Dou Miaojin rushed in and was shocked to see Dou Mengshen lying on the bed, half dead. "Brother, how could he be like this? Is he okay?"

In her previous life, Dou Miaojin knew too well Dou Mengshen's abilities. He was shrewd and calculating, and he was so vicious and cruel that no one could match him.

Madam Dou was so angry that she was shaking all over. She cursed, "If it weren't for you, your eldest brother would have been injured like this? Why would I raise a thing like you?"

Dou Miaojin wiped her tears, "Mother, I don't want my elder brother to be like this either. He is my biological brother. I know I have to listen to mother, but I can't refuse the Duke. We are all daughters of the Dou family. Why does my sister have such a good life, but I can't have it?

How am I worse than my sister? If I hadn't been unable to make ends meet in the manor, I wouldn't have taken that wrong path. Mother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Madam Dou looked very unhappy. "Not only did you harm your brother like this, but you also dragged the entire Dou family into this?"

Dou Miaojin lowered her eyes, with malice in them. They were both twins, so why did she have nothing?

The servant came to report, saying, "Duke Dingguo is here, and he has something important to do with the second young lady!"
