A good omen for a good person

  Cao Yiniang became pregnant, but she was just a concubine. Previously, the small concubines in the Jin Mansion had all given birth except for Cao Yiniang. Compared to other noble families, the number of children born out of wedlock was several times that of the Jin Mansion. If it were not for the fact that Eldest Miss had recently encountered some troubles, Madame would have been at most a little unhappy and would have been consoled by Chen Mama. But Cao Yiniang's actions were like adding fuel to the fire, and even if she had not intended to provoke Madame, Madame would not have let her off. Moreover, Cao Yiniang had slapped Madame in the face by running to the main house to show off.

  It goes without saying that Cao Niang was punished, and the reason could be anything. Ruan Mei got a good scolding, but it's a pity about Yun Shuang. She had good intentions and wanted to help, but she didn't understand the situation and ended up getting in trouble too. The Madame didn't want to see her for several days. Xian Yi thought Yun Shuang was innocent, but she wouldn't sympathize with her. This kind of thing shouldn't have been brought to the Madame's attention in the first place. Everyone knows that when something happens to the eldest daughter, the Madame is in a bad mood. As a third-class maid, you should have just quietly told Xiu Zhu and left it at that. Although Xiu Zhu was a social climber, she wasn't stupid. At this time, she would definitely go talk to Chen Niang privately, and not bother the Madame with it. As for what happened later, Chen Niang smoothed things over, and the matter passed. No one wanted to be the scapegoat or the target of blame.

  If it's said that Zheng Fang has been in low spirits lately and even his mother, Chen Nian, had to be careful when serving him, then Third Young Master Jin Fenghua is absolutely an existence that makes Xian Yi unable to breathe. Originally, she still held onto her illusions, thinking that Third Young Master was just a temporary infatuation of Xian Yi's, but about four days later, she found a note on the table in her own home, which had accurately calculated that her mother would be keeping watch that night and ordered her to go to the Zishan Pavilion near the servants' quarters at midnight. In fact, it was just a pavilion, but since it was located in the fifth courtyard, the masters wouldn't come to visit, so it had always been in a state of disrepair. Originally, there was also a pond there, but later, the mistress thought it was dangerous and ordered someone to fill it up, planting some tree saplings instead. Over the years, although it wasn't lush with green trees, it had become a small forest. The place was remote and rarely visited, at most, the night watchmen would go for a stroll, but since it was still within the fifth courtyard, Xian Yi could go there without needing a key or informing the servants, and she didn't fear being discovered.

  Xian Yi really wanted to pretend she hadn't seen it, but the moment she put down the note, the words on it suddenly disappeared, just like an extremely ordinary piece of paper with not a single word on it. Xian Yi really wanted to deceive herself that what had just happened was just an illusion, but the haughty and arrogant attitude between the lines kept reminding her that from that night on, her life would no longer belong to her.

  Helpless and powerless, Xianyi didn't dare tell her mother, let alone anyone else. She could only put on a cloak that night, at the third watch, and sneak towards Zishan Pavilion. Fortunately, there were no mishaps along the way, and the old women wouldn't come to this cold and windy place to gossip. The closer Xianyi got to Zishan Pavilion, the slower she walked. When she stood outside the pavilion and saw the dark figure inside, she suddenly hesitated, unsure of how to approach.

  Just as Xian Yi was hesitating whether to walk forward, a whistling sound suddenly came from not far away. On such a night with dark clouds covering the moon and cold wind blowing fiercely, in such a remote and deserted forest, Xian Yi, who had always been half-believing and half-doubting about ghostly matters, after experiencing the impact of death and rebirth, had already shifted her doubts towards belief. At this moment, with such an eerie atmosphere, she didn't even think before turning around to hide behind a evergreen tree outside the pavilion. Meanwhile, several black shadows fell in front of the pavilion, but Jin Fenghua inside the pavilion didn't move at all, just watching as more than a dozen unknown people surrounded him and the pavilion.

  "Golden Boy, it's been a while." These dozen or so people were all wearing black cloaks, their faces hidden under hoods, just like the immortal robes from that movie he had seen in his past life. The voice was still sharp and piercing to the ear.

  "But just a few days ago, I really didn't expect that Jin would also be fortunate enough to receive the favor of Long Xingwei. Several times, he's been so troublesome, could it be that Long Xingwei is now very idle?"

  Xian Yi didn't dare to move, could only shrink his body, secretly listening to Jin Fenghua's words, couldn't help but curse in his heart. This bastard seemed to know that someone was coming to seek revenge tonight, yet he deliberately called him over at this time. Was he trying to get him to come and collect his corpse, or did he want them to perish together?

  "Golden Boy, really makes us look at him in a new light...” The people in front of the pavilion automatically parted to both sides, and one person, although wearing the same cloak as the others, had a much older voice. He walked steadily towards the front of the pavilion without haste, with the rest following closely behind him, taking him as their leader.

  Jin Fenghua's hands trembled uncontrollably as soon as he saw this person, the murderous intent in his eyes was suppressed but still visible, a hint of abnormal excitement appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  "Little one, why aren't you speaking? Are you afraid?" The old eunuch's voice was especially piercing in the dark of night. Xian Yi tightly closed her eyes, and even her breathing became much weaker.

  "It's really deserted, even the governor has come in person..." Jin Fenghua's eyes lit up, staring fixedly at the old eunuch, using all his strength to restrain himself from rushing over and fighting with him.

  "You actually know me?" The old eunuch smiled with interest: "It seems we have a fate, young one. As long as you hand over those few people and return to the Long Dragon Escort with our family, the Jin family will not stop at this in the future."

  "Jin family?" Jin Fenghua seemed to have heard a huge joke, first just smiled slightly, then laughed louder and louder, almost laughing out tears. Just as the eunuchs looked at each other in confusion, he wiped his eyes, stood up straight, and sneered: "Even if the entire Jin family is executed tomorrow, I won't bat an eye. Who knows, I might even personally escort that cheap father of mine to the execution ground and watch him get beheaded."

  "You..." The old eunuch hesitated, and he, who was originally impatient, couldn't help but say in a low, angry tone: "Do you think you can escape? With just one word from our family, do you believe that your father will pack you up and send you to our estate tomorrow?"

  "How can I not believe?" Jin Fenghua smiled faintly, his eyes deep and mysterious: "So, in order to put an end to this once and for all, didn't I invite you here, old man?"

  "How bold!"

  The eunuch on the side shouted loudly and was about to step forward, but the old eunuch pulled him back, furrowing his brow and saying: "Youngster, where did you learn that trick from?"

  "Who am I?" Jin Fenghua clenched his fist, suddenly drew a soft sword from his waist and revealed a row of white teeth: "You'll go to the lower head, naturally someone will tell you."

  This time, the eunuchs hadn't even had a chance to shout again when suddenly a white light burst forth in the black night. A metallic sound was heard from within the immortal's robes, and then those few eunuchs who were still mysterious and powerful at the beginning instantly fell to the ground, motionless, and were actually all dead.

  The old eunuch saw the situation, hastily retreated a few steps, and looked at Jin Fenghua with suspicion: "No... it's impossible, this set of kung fu was created by our family just last year, some places haven't even been refined yet, how did you..."

  "Let me teach you a lesson." Before the old eunuch could say anything else, Jin Fenghua suddenly killed several eunuchs who came to protect him with his backhand. He then rushed straight at the old eunuch's face, his feet seemingly giving birth to wind in an instant, and flashed out, forcing the old eunuch to draw out his dagger and clash with the soft sword.

  Xian Yi was so exhausted that she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, and from time to time, she heard someone groaning and falling to the ground. As the old eunuch's voice grew weaker, she knew that things were definitely going to end badly.

  "I really didn't expect that you would end up like this too." Jin Fenghua said with a hint of regret, his sword tip pressed against the old eunuch's throat.

  "You... who are you, who are you?" The old eunuch seemed to have never been defeated before and had never thought that after a hundred moves, he would be at the mercy of someone else, staring death in the face.

  "You investigated who I was when you were chasing me, didn't you? Why ask again? Do you think I'm fake?" Jin Fenghua felt a bit disappointed, but seeing the old eunuch's legs trembling and his originally sharp eyes now filled with a pleading gaze, he couldn't help but feel pleased, his entire body feeling refreshed.

  The old lady stared at Jin Fenghua's frantic state, disbelieving: "How is this possible? How can it be?! Although Jin Fenghua has an extraordinary bone structure, he absolutely doesn't have any martial arts skills. As the son of a concubine, his temperament has always been weak. You're not him! You absolutely are not him!!"

  "Perhaps I was like this in my past life..." Jin Fenghua said, seemingly nostalgic and perplexed at the same time. Suddenly, as if he had lost interest, his wrist merely flickered, and the soft sword shot towards the old eunuch's throat like a silver dragon. A hint of red appeared, but did not spurt out, yet the old eunuch felt his eyes glaze over, and he fell backwards.

  "If you want to know something, go ask someone else, they'll tell you. Our fate ends here." Jin Fenghua swung his sword, which didn't have a single drop of blood on it, and sheathed it again. Only then did he turn around and shout towards the place where Xian Yicang was hiding: "Alright, come out!"

  Xian Yi had been still for half a day, not because she didn't want to come out, but because she couldn't control her own body. She was afraid that as soon as she took a step, she would fall to the ground and die on the spot.

  Jin Fenghua shouted twice, but seeing that the person was still motionless, he furrowed his brow and strode over, reaching out to grab the hem of the immortal's robe. However, when he saw the immortal's attire, he suddenly froze for a moment before muttering to himself: "Could this be fate? So it was you back then...it was actually you?"

  Xian Yi shook her body and asked, "What am I?"

  "If I said that the first person I killed in my past life was you, would you believe me?" Jin Fenghua said with a tone as if joking.

  Xian Yi didn't hear anything at this time, she only knew that she turned her head around, opened her eyes and saw a dozen or so corpses lying on the ground, silent and still, with gruesome death expressions.
