Chapter 1
The thick night, the darkness weighing heavily on the top of the head, as if it could fall down at any time, making people breathless.

Zuo Xiangning was dressed in a bright red wedding dress and a flying fairy bun, looking very delicate and charming.

She stood at the red door of the main room of Gu Mansion, looking at Gu Zhiqing who was walking toward her step by step with fear.

To her, Gu Zhiqing, who was both civil and military, was a devil!
The Zuo family has gradually declined since her eldest brother and Jiang's uncle died in the border battle.

The Gu family was the main contributor to her brother-in-law's succession.

In order to stabilize her sister's position in the palace, she married the second young master of the Gu family.

Who would have thought that the Gu family would have someone pretend to be the second young master of the Gu family to cheat into a marriage!
On the night of the wedding, when she saw the foolish and real Second Young Master Gu, she was struck by thunder.

What she didn't expect even more was that Gu Zhiqing suddenly appeared, kicked Gu Er out of the house, and took her by force.

He even boasted that he would let her give birth to his child as the second young lady Gu, since they would all be members of the Gu family anyway...

How could he say something so ridiculous and shameless? !

She wanted to die, so he tied her hands and feet, imprisoned, abused, beat, and humiliated...

For three months, Zuo Xiangning could neither live nor die.

She finally found a chance to jump off the roof. She didn't fall to death, but she dropped her two-month-old child.

Gu Zhiqing went crazy. In front of her, he beat her eldest girl Pan Cui to death and had her other eldest girl Pan Xia raped.

No matter how much she begged, he refused to give up. He cruelly pulled her face and forced her to watch it from beginning to end.

Today, two years later, I still shudder when I think of those days.

However, now her father has been demoted and imprisoned, her aunt is in a coma, her third brother's life and death are unknown, and all one hundred and two people in the Zuofu have been taken into prison.

For the sake of the Zuo family, she had to return to Gu Zhiqing.

"Zuo Xiangning, long time no see, do you still remember me?!"

Gu Zhiqing looked at the little face in front of him that haunted his heart day and night, and pulled her to him with force, gritted his teeth and said: "You know my methods, but you still dare to escape? Doesn't your good third brother always help you escape? ?I’ll break his legs first!”

"Make him ten times, a hundred times worse than everyone else! See if he still has the guts to help you!"

"By the way, maybe you don't know yet, right? Your queen sister and the three-year-old prince died suddenly in the palace five days ago, but the emperor did not mourn in secret..."

Zuo Xiangning's head suddenly buzzed.

Her eldest sister is the last hope for her and the Zuo family.

"You...you are talking nonsense! Impossible!"

She shook her head with red eyes, but she believed it in her heart.

Otherwise, how could Gu Zhiqing dare to imprison all the Zuo family members?
"You know I never bullshit you!"

Gu Zhiqing's fingers gently touched the woman's creamy cheek, pinched it lightly, looked at the red mark, and couldn't help but rub it with his hands in distress.

"This is all because of you! If you had stayed by my side honestly, why would your Zuo family have suffered such a disaster?"

Zuo Xiangning wanted to eat the man in front of her alive, but she showed a weak smile: "I promise you, I will stay by your side honestly from now on and never run away again!"

"Are you trying to lie to me again?" Gu Zhiqing raised her pointed chin and stared into her eyes.

"No!" Zuo Xiangning looked at him pitifully: "I'm tired and don't want to hide anymore!"

"I told you a long time ago, you can't run away!" Gu Zhiqing smiled arrogantly: "You and I are destined to fight until death!"

"I want you to release everyone in the Zuo family." Zuo Xiangning said softly: "And... return all the things stolen from the Zuo family to the Zuo family, is that okay?"

"I'll have someone do it tomorrow!" Gu Zhiqing was very satisfied with her attitude and hugged the woman's waist tightly.

"No, I want you to do it now!" Zuo Xiangning put her hands on his chest and said coquettishly but resolutely.

Her eyes were dark and bright, staring at the man as dazzlingly as black gems, making him unable to look away.

Gu Zhiqing took a deep look at her, let go of his hand, walked to the door, and shouted to the door: "Come here! Send everyone from the Zuo family back to the Zuo Mansion now, and keep everything in the Zuo family intact." Return those who don't move!" "Also, bring the best doctor in the capital to the Zuo family and give everyone in the Zuo family good treatment!"

Zuo Xiangning secretly opened the hidden buckle on the bracelet and tapped the bracelet twice on the wine glass.

Someone outside responded, "Yes."

Gu Zhiqing added: "Hurry up and get it done!"

After the people ran out of the yard, Gu Zhiqing turned around and closed the door. He looked at the slim woman who looked like a porcelain figure, and said in a soft voice: "I will definitely do what I promised you. What about you?"

"I will never break my promise." Zuo Xiangning picked up the wine glass on the table with a smile, "I would like to toast you with a glass of wine. Thank you for letting the Zuo family go."

Seeing how well-behaved she was, the man smiled and put his arms around the woman's slim waist.

"If you had been so obedient earlier, why did we waste so much time?"

"I regret it in my heart." Zuo Xiangning shyly took his arm and handed the wine glass to his mouth.

"Don't worry, I guarantee that you will be the most decent woman in the Gu family."

Gu Zhiqing smiled and drank the wine with her hand, then took the cup from her hand and threw it aside, leaning forward to kiss the woman's red lips.

But suddenly his vision went dark, and his body fell limply on the table.

"You...!" He looked at the smiling woman in front of him in horror. He opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out.

"Don't you want to fight me to death?"

Zuo Xiangning watched the blood slowly ooze from the corner of the man's mouth, sneered and poured the lamp oil and wine on the flammable objects.

Then he reached out and picked up the candle next to him, and threw it towards the curtain under the man's frightened and desperate gaze.

"Then I will help you!" The woman's voice was hollow and resentful, lingering for a long time.

Fire filled the sky, swallowing up everything...
-
Zuo Xiangning felt as if she had fallen into a stove, and her whole body was so hot that it hurt.

I wonder if her third brother’s leg is really broken?Can it still be cured?

How sad would the aunt be if she knew that her eldest daughter and little grandson, whom she was most proud of, died suddenly?
The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and her tears could no longer stop flowing.

Tears surged like a fountain, surrounding her, and her ears, nose, and mouth began to fill with water.

When she was about to drown, she opened her eyes suddenly, pushed hard by instinct, and got out of the water.

She looked around blankly, and it took her a long time to recognize that... this was the back garden of the eldest prince Qi's palace?
Didn't she die together with Gu Zhiqing? Why did she come here?

Suddenly, voices were heard not far away, and she subconsciously dived behind the rocks by the lake.

"Hurry up and tell my second sister, Zuo Xiangning has been falling for a long time, why haven't people come yet? Don't wait until she really drowns!"

Zuo Xiangning frowned, and it turned out to be the voice of her third sister Zuo Xiangyu.

"Slaves go now!"

This is... Jade Peach?Wasn't she beaten to death by Zuo Xiangyu a long time ago?

The sound of footsteps ran out only a few steps before he ran back again and said urgently: "Here he comes! The second young master of the Gu family is here!"

"Come on, let's call everyone over!" Zuo Xiangyu said excitedly.

The memories of Prince Qi's Mansion, Luo Shui, and the second young master of the Gu family came to mind like a mountain.

This... could this be the scene at the flower viewing banquet at Prince Qi's Mansion three years ago?

Zuo Xiangning's eyes were shining. She couldn't believe that she was back three years ago!
All her misfortunes started when she fell into the water during the flower viewing party.

Now that God has given her another chance, she will never let history repeat itself!
