“It was especially cold that day when it snowed in the village. Little Miss had not weaned yet, and she had finished all the milk powder we had brought with us when we left the house in a hurry. The female bodyguard asked around the entire village before she managed to buy some goat’s milk. We didn’t dare to go too far as we were afraid that we would miss Mistress when she returned, so we just waited at the village entrance.

“That day, we waited at the entrance of the village for a long time. Our hands and feet were almost frozen. Finally, Mistress came. However, several killers were chasing after us. We did not dare enter the village, so we could only run for our lives… After some time, we ran into a couple with a child along the road. At first, we thought they were abducting the child, but the child was still very young and could not speak. Later, Mistress asked them to take us along with them, and we tried to get information from them. Then we found out that they were helping their relatives send the child to the countryside. They sent the child from Jingdu to the countryside in the cold weather, and it was even the child’s parents who had done it. No matter how you look at it, the child was abandoned, and it was a daughter…”

Yun Xi lowered her eyes and looked at the photo in her hand. The corners of her lips twitched bitterly. Liang Xiuqin was superstitious and cold-blooded—it was not surprising that she would send her daughter, who was destined to be a jinx, to the countryside.

Regardless of the child’s fate, she was the one who gave birth to the child after carrying her for 10 months. She sent the child away just because of something the fortune-teller said. Such irresponsibility could be considered karma.

“Later, we sent them to Muyang Town. When they saw that Little Miss was still a baby, they kindly took out the milk powder that they had on them. Only then did Little Miss have milk to drink… However, we did not expect that the milk powder was used as bait to get us to lower our guard. Before we reached Muyang Town, they started to get restless. The mountain path to the village was close to the cliff. The road was too narrow, so the car could not drive on it. I waited in the car with the driver and Little Miss, and Mistress and the female bodyguard followed them to send the child into the village. However, when we reached the mountain path at the cliff, the man grabbed a stone and attacked Mistress. Thinking that Mistress and the bodyguards were weak women, he had evil intentions. They did not know that the two bodyguards that Mistress had brought along were trained experts. The female bodyguard kicked the man down the cliff…”

“Then… what about that woman?” Yun Xi raised her head, urgently wishing to know the true whereabouts of Yun Xi.

“The sky was too dark, and the woman was hiding by the cliff with the child in her arms. When she saw her husband fall off the cliff, she was so scared that she ran to the village. Mistress was afraid that something would happen to her and the child, so she wanted to follow them, but she did not expect that she would feel so guilty that she would miss her footing and throw the child down the cliff as well… Mistress and the bodyguards were too late and could not catch them…

Yun Xi suddenly looked up, her heart pounding. She was in a daze for a long time before she finally recovered.

“There is a narrow path along the cliff in Muyang Town that was carved out from the mountain wall. The cliff could be said to be a bottomless abyss. If anyone falls, they will be smashed to pieces. When my aunt pushed me down the cliff, if not for the tree branches and the thick forest, I would have been buried there.”

Some things seemed predestined.

Just like how she had woken up in the forest that Mu Feichi had carefully guarded when she had just been reborn. It was a pity that the child from more than ten years ago had not been so lucky.

Hearing this, Xiao Jinglin suddenly looked up. He had never heard her mention this before, and his expression turned ugly.

“Thankfully, Mu Feichi saved my life.”

She said this for Xiao Jinglin as she didn’t want him to worry, but she couldn’t help sigh in her heart.

It was like reincarnation—in the end, someone still paid the price.
