The two turned around and saw Wei Jiaruo slowly walking out of the shadows, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

Lu Jieshuang's face drained of color. "You've been eavesdropping?! What do you know?!"

Only Lu Jieyue knew that she had disguised herself as Qingque and escaped from the guillotine. Now, one more person knew: Wei Zhaoning. She didn't think Wei Zhaoning would go around spreading rumors, but Wei Jiaruo was different. For her, having even one more person know about this was a potential threat.

Wei Jiaruo: "Don't be nervous."

"I'm warning you, the score between us is never going to end. If you dare to go around spreading rumors, do you think the Marquis's mansion will be in trouble if someone escapes from the execution ground? And what about you, as the Marquis's wife? Won't you be in trouble too?"

Wei Jiaru clicked her tongue. "I told you not to be nervous. Why would I report you? You know such a simple thing. Do you think I don't?"

Lu Jieshuang was relieved, but she still looked at Wei Jiaruo with great vigilance. Lu Jieyue was the same; she looked at Wei Jiaruo as if she were looking at an enemy.

She knew perfectly well that all of this was thanks to the vile woman in front of her. She wished she could eat her flesh, drink her blood, and tear her to pieces before she would feel satisfied.

Now this woman dares to openly eavesdrop on their conversation and swagger in front of them. She thought, since she's going to die anyway, why not drag one more person down to the deepest hell with her?

She suddenly stood up and grabbed Wei Jiaruo by the neck.

"I told you, you better not let me catch you. Now that I have, you won't be as lucky as before." Lu Jieyue gritted her teeth and shoved Wei Jiaruo straight into front of the tree.

Wei Jiaruo was startled and before she could react, she found it difficult to breathe, as if her throat was about to be snapped. Lu Jieyue had used all her strength.

"Ah Shuang, come here and gag her."

Lu Jieshuang was naturally happy to agree. The more people who knew about her faked death and escape, the more dangerous it would be. Since everyone was already in hell, what did it matter if she killed one person?

Just then, Wei Jiaruo struggled and managed to squeeze out a few broken words from her throat.

"Wei...Wei...Zhaoning...cough cough...she also...reborn."

Lu Jieyue's pupils suddenly contracted. "What did you say?"

She let go of his hand, and Wei Jiaruo collapsed to the ground, coughing violently.

"Explain yourself clearly!"

Lu Jieshuang's expression changed. "What do you know?"

After a long pause, the color drained from Wei Jiaruo's face. "You guys are really ruthless."

"Wei Zhaoning, she was reborn."

Actually, she had suspected this matter a long time ago, but she had no evidence. Moreover, she always believed that she was a favored daughter of heaven, and that rebirth was a very rare thing. How could there be other people who could be reborn?

But things started to look increasingly strange. She discovered that Wei Zhaoning had perfectly avoided all the things she had done in her past life in this one. At first, she wondered if it was just a coincidence. After all, she had managed to stay in the Marquis's mansion in this life and hadn't faked her death for those five years. Perhaps Wei Zhaoning had been traumatized and was angry with the people in the mansion, so she stopped caring about them.

until......

It wasn't until Wei Zhaoning seemed to have a precognitive ability regarding Li Changming's matter that she truly began to speculate in that direction. Later, a series of events confirmed to her that Wei Zhaoning had indeed been reborn.

Today, she happened to catch up with the two sisters and discovered that they had also been reborn, and it seemed that there were quite a few people who had been reborn.

Lu Jieyue trembled slightly. "You're saying she was reborn? What proof do you have?!"

At this moment, both of them actually knew in their hearts that if Wei Zhaoning was a reborn person, then the things they did in their previous life were enough to make Wei Zhaoning lose heart, so it's no wonder that Wei Zhaoning was so resolute.

Previously, the two of them had been clinging to a sliver of hope, thinking that although they had done many things to wrong Wei Zhaoning in this life, at least it wasn't like their previous life. They believed that Wei Zhaoning wouldn't know about those absurd things from their past life, and might even forgive them and give them a helping hand.

Only after their rebirth was confirmed did the two of them truly experience a sense of despair.

Wei Jiaruo sneered, "Are you blind? Many things are different in this life than in the previous one! Do you think Wei Zhaoning would change the course of her life for no reason?"

At this moment, Lu Jieshuang narrowed her eyes, "So, you're also someone who has been reborn?"

Wei Jiaruo did not hide anything, "I am."

Lu Jieshuang, enraged, roared, "Then why did you usurp our rights and do such a thing!"

Wei Jiaruo's expression at this moment looked somewhat innocent, but also carried a sinister smile.

"I instigated it? You can't say that!"

"Isn't it yourselves who resented Wei Zhaoning for controlling you and ruining your lives? I did play a role in fueling these things, but wasn't that in line with your wishes? Have you forgotten how kind and grateful you were to me back then? It was as if I were your second parent."

"Yes, I did lead you to do wrong things, and I did it to please you. If I didn't please you, who in the Marquis's mansion would stand by me? How could I secure my position? Do you think I would be like Wei Zhaoning, wholeheartedly sacrificing myself for the Marquis's mansion?"

"And what were the consequences of her actions? Have you all forgotten? You should really take a piss and look at your own hideous faces in the firelight. What, regretting it now? Pretending to be good people? Trying to get forgiveness? Aren't you ridiculous! Do you think all those despicable things you did can be wiped clean with just an apology? You want to shift the blame onto me? Impossible! I have done countless bad things, but I dare to admit it. Do you dare? A bunch of cowards, unable to take responsibility for their own mistakes, so they find someone else to take the blame? Wei Zhaoning can't bear these responsibilities, and neither can I. I haven't done anything wrong!"

Wei Jiaruo sensed that the two seemed to be blaming her, and an overwhelming sense of disgust arose in her heart. She wanted to tear off all these hypocritical masks and expose the devil to the sunlight, making them feel ashamed. Only then would she feel satisfied!

Hearing these words, Lu Jieyue and Lu Jieshuang trembled slightly, their emotions a jumble of feelings. They were being dragged into the sunlight and whipped like this.

The surroundings fell silent in an instant, with only the sound of clothes being blown by the wind. At that moment, the two felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Wei Jiaruo is right, but who can accept something like this?

Who can accept that their miserable state was caused by their own hands?
