The corner of her mouth twitched. She felt that she had been played by the heavens. It was fine that she had transmigrated into a novel for no reason. She could accept being the original wife of a poisonous woman. She could accept not being able to return since she had nothing to worry about in the modern world.

But did everything have to be so out of the ordinary?

How was she supposed to live without a cheat?

That was enough!

Her husband was corrupted, and now she had a 'perverted' servant girl. Don't tell her that this Mu Xiang was the original wife who had been reborn. She really wanted to laugh at her.

Chu Lian's forehead twitched. With a strange expression, she looked at Mu Xiang, who seemed to hate her to the bone.

"You … are the original Chu Lian?"

Mu Xiang stared at Chu Lian's face, not letting go of even the slightest change in her expression.

She had endured for so long just for this moment to see the monster who had taken over her body: shock, panic, fear, terror, and even kneel down and beg.

Her heart was like boiling water, and she could not help but tremble with excitement. At this moment, looking down at the woman in front of her who was protected by He Changdi like a flower in a greenhouse, she felt indescribable joy and excitement.

She was waiting for Chu Lian to admit defeat and beg for mercy.

Then, she would laugh loudly in front of her and make her lose her last hope. She would first make her lose her child, then torture her, and finally, she would die without a complete corpse.

This way, the monster who had taken over her body would disappear completely. In the future, she would become the real Marquis of Anyuan.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiang was extremely happy.

However, no matter how long she waited, the scene she had imagined never happened.

Chu Lian and Mu Xiang looked at each other. One raised her head slightly and the other looked down. Both pairs of eyes blinked, like a pantomime.

Chu Lian felt it was strange that Mu Xiang would look at her like this. There seemed to be some kind of expectation in her eyes. She didn't understand why she was looking forward to something like this …

She had indeed taken over her body, but this wasn't what she wanted … She couldn't do anything about it.

Also, the original Chu Lian was a vicious woman. She didn't even blink when she killed someone in the backyard. Who knew how many people she had killed for her own benefit?

Even if she was given the cold shoulder in the Duke of England's Public House and lived a life worse than that of some of the senior maids, it was not caused by her, so it had nothing to do with her.

Chu Lian believed that she had not done a single bad thing after coming to the Great Wu Dynasty. She had been filial to her elders and assisted her husband. She did not feel the slightest bit of remorse towards the original Chu Lian. Strictly speaking, she was the most innocent victim.

Since that was the case, she couldn't understand what Mu Xiang was looking forward to.

Mu Xiang's joyful expression immediately became distorted. Her eyes widened as she couldn't believe that the situation had turned out like this!

How many times had she imagined Chu Lian kneeling in front of her, begging her to keep her mouth shut and not tell He Changdi this terrifying secret? She never imagined that the scene in front of her would be like this. Wasn't she afraid at all?

How could he be so fearless?

Looking into Chu Lian's clear eyes, Mu Xiang bit her lips so hard that she almost bled. She pointed a trembling finger at Chu Lian, whose face was full of confusion, and said in a trembling voice, "Don't you feel guilty at all?

This is my body!

I am the real Marchioness of Anyuan!

Aren't you afraid that I'll tell He Changdi the truth?

Aren't you afraid that he'll find out that you're not Chu Lian but a monster and avoid you out of fear? "

Chu Lian was still a little surprised. So the Mu Xiang in front of her was really the original Chu Lian.

However, Chu Lian really didn't care too much about what Mu Xiang had said. If He Changdi really broke up with her because of this, then He Changdi wasn't worthy of her trust. She had nothing to say if they broke up because of this reason.

Also, what nonsense was she talking about?

Even if Mu Xiang was still Chu Lian, according to the original plot, she wouldn't be the Marchioness of Anyuan.

Suddenly, a thought popped up in Chu Lian's mind.

Since Mu Xiang had become the original Chu Lian, according to the original plot, shouldn't she be looking for Xiao Bojian? Xiao Bojian was her true love!

But she had her eyes on He Changdi!

If the original Chu Lian had fallen for He Sanlang because of his power, it didn't make sense at all.

He Changdi was indeed in a high position and had a lucrative position, but Xiao Bojian was also doing quite well. In terms of status and power, Xiao Bojian and He Changdi were evenly matched.

Duke Jing 'an's residence wasn't some rich and powerful aristocratic family, so it wasn't considered anything.

Since that was the case, it was worth pondering why Mu Xiang still chose He Changdi.

She could even transmigrate into the book, so what else couldn't happen?

She boldly speculated that Mu Xiang regretted her choice in her previous life, so she was wholeheartedly standing on He Changdi's side?

Chu Lian hid her speculations and narrowed her eyes. "Why should I be afraid?

Even if this body was originally yours, I don't owe you anything. "

Chu Lian's calmness made Mu Xiang extremely unhappy. She forcefully pushed Chu Lian to the ground and watched as Chu Lian sprawled on the ground in a sorry state. She propped herself up with both hands so that she wouldn't hit her protruding abdomen. Only then did Mu Xiang feel a sense of satisfaction from venting her anger.

Fortunately, there was a pile of hay at the side. Otherwise, Chu Lian would really be worried about her stomach.

She took the opportunity to sprawl on the pile of hay, making herself look like a pathetic mess.

Mu Xiang said sarcastically, "You don't owe me anything?

You're really a monster!

You have the cheek to say anything!

You forcefully took my body!

You snatched my husband away!

Isn't that enough?

You monster, you're really the most thick-skinned person I've ever seen!

If not for you, Guilin Residence, De Jufeng, Liangzhou's Jian City, and even the title of nobility, which one of them wouldn't be mine?

You've taken so many of my things, and now you're telling me that you don't owe me anything?

Do you think you can continue living such a good life?

Dream on!

I'll send you to hell today! "

Mu Xiang was practically going crazy with jealousy!

Because she had experienced her previous life and was reborn as a lowly servant girl, she knew about Chu Lian's current life. How could she be willing and endure it?

She was unwilling to have such an ending in her previous life. Seeing that the person who occupied her body was living a thousand times better than her in her previous life, how could she feel at ease?

Such a disparity quickly distorted Mu Xiang's mentality.

Chu Lian really felt that the original owner of this body had a hole in her brain. She lowered her head and didn't look at her. Looking at her like this, it seemed that Mu Xiang had admitted defeat.

Mu Xiang looked down at Chu Lian sprawled on the ground with her pregnant belly. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at her.

She sneered, "Why? Are you afraid now?"

She suddenly squatted down and reached out to touch the side of Chu Lian's soft face. Then, following the curves of her body, she caressed her belly and even used a little force to press on it.

Her voice was cold, "You've really broadened my horizons. I didn't expect you to really be pregnant with He Changdi's child!" Moreover, it was with her body. This stimulation made her even more jealous.

In her previous life, she stayed by Xiao Bojian's side and couldn't get pregnant. It was only before she died that she found out that Xiao Bojian had given her a secret medicine to make her infertile.

And now, Chu Lian's body was fresh and perfect. She could give birth to a child for the man she loved, but the person had already changed!

How could she not be jealous!

Chu Lian could hear the slight change in her voice. She had already lost her rationality. She pressed her hands against the ground, ready to protect her belly at any time.

As expected, Chu Lian heard Mu Xiang's next sentence, "Unfortunately, with such a big belly, I can't keep the child. I don't even know if the child in this belly is a boy or a girl.

But don't worry, I'll take the child out in a while and let you see with your own eyes. I'll let you see if the child you and He Changdi have is handsome, and if it looks more like him or you. "

This woman was crazy. She could actually say such cruel words. It made the originally calm Chu Lian's face turn slightly pale.

Noticing that Chu Lian's shoulders were trembling, Mu Xiang suddenly laughed evilly.

"What?

Are you scared now? "

Chu Lian lowered her head and counted in her heart. She already knew what she wanted to know, so there was no need to argue with Mu Xiang. She was waiting.

Mu Xiang seemed to have lost interest in torturing Chu Lian with words. She turned around and took out a sharp dagger from a bag on the table. Then, she walked towards Chu Lian step by step.

Seeing that she was holding the dagger, Chu Lian carefully moved her body back and pursed her lips.

Mu Xiang laughed even more happily. She squatted down and raised her arm. The sharp dagger flashed coldly and pierced towards Chu Lian's closed abdomen.

At that critical moment, there was a sound of something piercing through the air.

A sharp arrow hit Mu Xiang faster than the dagger. The huge momentum of the arrow actually lifted Mu Xiang's body up and nailed her to the opposite wall!

Mu Xiang let out a violent scream.

The next moment, a tall figure appeared at the door of the toilet. Chu Lian was still in shock. She turned her head slightly and saw He Changdi wearing a black python robe. He held a huge bow and stood upright at the door. His face was cold and his body was emitting a cold aura. His cold gaze fell on Mu Xiang, who was nailed to the wall.

Then, he hurried to Chu Lian's side, threw down the bow and arrow in his hand, and carried Chu Lian from the haystack in his arms.

When Chu Lian was in He Changdi's arms and smelled his familiar scent, she came back to her senses. She wrapped her arms around He Changdi's neck and buried her head in his chest. In a trembling voice, she said pitifully, "He Changdi, you scared me to death."

He Sanlang's murderous expression disappeared. He looked at his delicate wife in his arms and gently patted her back. He softly comforted her by her ear, "Be good, Lian 'er. It's okay now. I'll take you out."

After he finished speaking, he carried Chu Lian out of the dark thatched cottage without caring about the life or death of the person nailed to the wall.

As soon as he carried Chu Lian out, Field Officer Guo, Zhang Mai, and Xiao Hongyu surrounded him and asked worriedly, "How is Sister-in-law?"

He Changdi was cold to others. He shook his head and said, "I'll leave the people inside to you guys. I'll take Lian 'er back first."

Field Officer Guo patted his shoulder and then entered the thatched cottage with Zhang Mai and Xiao Hongyu.

Chu Lian glanced around and saw that the group of people who had robbed her were all lying on the ground.

She raised her head slightly to look at He Changdi's stiff chin, pursed her lips, and buried her head even more tightly into his broad chest, taking in his scent that made her feel safe.

(Mu Xiang has been dealt with. Victory is in sight!)
