When my mind slowly woke up from my coma, I was not very conscious yet. I just felt that my eyes were pitch black, my mind was chaotic, and my whole body was soft, and I almost intuitively wanted to fall asleep.

But at this moment, a voice sounded in my ears.

"Did you make a mistake? This is not Zhou Chengyin's wife?"

“This is indeed not.”

"What's the point of tieing her up?"

My mind shuddered and I woke up in an instant.

I am now-

What happened in the moment before the coma immediately flashed in my mind, and I immediately realized that I must have been drugged and kidnapped.

That pot of chicken soup! I think about it now. Although I wanted it myself, it did give people a chance. Such a thick layer of oil sealed the heat of the soup and also sealed the smell. In addition, my attention was always on the outside. I didn’t pay attention at all. I didn’t pay any attention to it. I found that some medicine was given to people in the soup after drinking it.

Fortunately, I only drank a little.

But I still couldn't avoid being plotted against the fate of being plotted against - I moved my hands and feet slightly, and it seemed that I was not really tied up. I should be lying where I was, hard, like the ground?

As soon as a person wakes up, he almost subconsciously wants to open his eyes, but reason still stops me first, because the sound in his ears is still ringing-

"We have decided to tie up someone who has a more identity and status than her, instead of kidnapping Zhou Chengyin's wife."

"You said this is—"

"You have also seen that the Zhou surnamed Zhou closed the city gate these days and sent that team in. I have found out clearly that the team came from Yangzhou, and now Yangzhou has been occupied by the rebels."

"You mean, that team is—"

"It's the leader of the rebels. Some people say it's the former prince."

"ah?!"

"We don't have to worry about these things, but this woman is the one who is in charge."

"Wait a minute, why did I hear that the man's wife is still in the house."

"The wife is a wife, and a woman is a woman. None of them have three wives and four concubines. The real big wife may not be really favored. I have heard in the past few days that this woman is much more favored than that big wife. She lives alone in the best house in the government office, and her wife named Zhou also goes with her and flatters her. Even those people go to give her gifts. Isn't this telling enough?"

"So that's how it is."

...

Listening to their conversation, I almost figured it out.

These people should be the "troubled people" who have been doing the right thing with them in Zhou Chengyin's mouth. The assassins we caught in the alley when we entered Huaian City that night were their people; the black shadows I saw on the window the night before were also likely one of them.

They originally wanted to arrest Mrs. Zhou, probably to save their arrested family, but now they see that my status seems to be higher than Mrs. Zhou, so they put their target on me.

I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

I just showed off my face and asked them to pay attention to the fetus in my belly, but I didn't expect that it would bring disaster to myself.

Although Pei Yuanxiu and the others had given up killing the family members of these people at noon, they might not have received the news immediately. Even if they received the news, their family members were not released. It is very likely that Zhou Chengyin would kill him as I thought, when I left and would not hit the fetus in my belly, so they simply took the risk of kidnapping me to threaten Pei Yuanxiu and Zhou Chengyin.

The question is - how will they treat me.

I was thinking, but I didn't show any sound around me, but there was a knock on the door.

Several people who had been talking to each other before immediately went over and opened the door: "Brother."

I immediately raised my ears.

Someone walked in from outside the door.

This person had a strong aura. Although he was not saying a word, I could feel his presence even with my eyes closed. Others seemed to respect him very much. They didn't speak as casually as they just now, and they didn't even dare to speak out.

They called him "Big Brother", it seemed that they were the ones who were the ones who were responsible for it.

What order does he want to issue?

What will be done to me?

My heart was full of twists and turns, and all kinds of thoughts kept coming out, but I also heard footsteps, walking from the door to my side, and then I heard a very low and rough voice.

"When you wake up, just open your eyes."

“…!”

My heart skipped a beat.

The others seemed to be shocked and hurriedly surrounded: "She—"

The man stopped them from talking and said calmly: "I have been listening for a long time. Should you get up and talk?"

“…”

It seems that it has been seen through, so there is no need to pretend anymore.

I slowly opened my eyes.

The first thing I saw was a broken, crumbling roof, almost even the beams were exposed outside, and a few straw mats were barely covered on it, which was considered as a shelter from the wind and rain.

The sun shone down from the gap between the straw mat and also pierced my eyes. I narrowed my eyes slightly and looked around.

A group of men surrounded me.

When I woke up and saw this situation, I was enough to make every woman collapse. I was very knowledgeable and couldn't help but gasp.

These men were all wearing short clothes and were extremely damaged. Some were injured on their faces, middle-aged people, and children in their teens. My eyes slipped around their faces, and I couldn't tell who was the "big brother" who had just spoken.

The next moment, the man stood up.

Just like that voice, he was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a burly figure, a straight face, and a messy beard, giving people a very majestic feeling.

He is - "Big Brother"?

That is, the person who decided to rob me.

I blinked and slowly reached out to support myself, then I realized that I was lying on a hard stone bed with no straw mat under my body. No wonder I thought I was lying on the ground, with a wall next to it. It took some effort to make myself sit up and lean against the wall.

None of these people took action, and no one spoke.

I coughed and said, "You guys-"

"You don't seem to be afraid."

This person interrupted me, his eyes were bright, like two sharp knives, deeply engraved on my face.

I coughed again and said, "I have indeed woken up for a while just now and heard the people in your room talking."

Immediately, the two young men behind him looked at each other.

I said, "You tied me up to save your family. Since you are trying to save people, I am valuable. You shouldn't hurt me, right?"

Although I am sure what I said, I still have some negotiable elements. After all, how these people will treat me is not something I can control.

The next moment, I heard the middle-aged man sneer: "Where do you get the confidence that you don't think we will hurt you?"

I was stunned.

A young man behind him immediately stepped forward, pointed at me and scolded, "Your man and the one named Zhou killed our elder brother's parents, wife, and his son!"

I immediately breathed suffocated.

At this moment, I saw clearly that this "big brother" had a white cloth strap tied to his arm.

Could it be that the family they killed outside at noon yesterday is the relative of this person?

I was speechless and couldn't speak. I just looked at this man glaring at me, with red eyes. A person behind him stepped forward and said, "Brother, if you say something, if you want to kill this woman and pay for your life, brothers will take action immediately!"

I was so scared that I immediately shrank back.

But behind me was the cold and hard wall, and there was nowhere to escape. When I raised my head and looked at those fierce and hated eyes, I suddenly trembled: "You, don't do anything randomly!"

But these people could not hear me, and someone said, "Brother, I'll wait for you!"

"Yes, take revenge! Blood debt and blood repayment!"

Just when they were in a state of excitement, the elder brother spread his hands and stopped the person behind him.

They immediately looked at him in surprise: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"You want to spare her?"

"Brother, don't you want to take revenge?"

The middle-aged man stared at me with a tight look, was silent for a long time, and said, "We tied her up and came back, not for revenge."

“…”

"If it's really for revenge, there's no need to tie her up. She can be dealt with with one knife!"

“…”

When the people around him heard this, they looked at each other. Before they could say anything, the man said in a deep voice: "My parents, my wife and children are dead, but your family is still in prison."

“…”

This time, everyone's eyes turned red.

I looked up at this person, and my heart, which was originally hanging in my throat, finally sank.
