They lived in harmonious and loving companionship for three years, during which her husband achieved the rank of top scholar. But while the husband's fame rose, his wife's status did not. His craving for titles and wealth led him to seek the position as Prince Consort, and he saw her as a stumbling stone on his path to marrying the princess—so he killed his wife and wiped out his line. The arrogant princess stood in front of her ruins and mocked, "Even if you are exceptionally beautiful and learned, you are ultimately just a lowly official's daughter. Crushing you to death is as easy for me as crushing an ant!" Her reputation tarnished, she took her own life by hanging. Her younger brother, seeking justice, was killed by the powerful, and her elderly father, upon hearing the tragic news, fell ill and departed from this world.

Dressed in resplendent red, he asked with a smile, "White Lotus Flower? She's clearly a Man-eating Flower that devours without spitting out bones."

Tonger didn't suspect anything amiss, but Bai Xue felt something was not quite right. Although she said she was just strolling around, Jiang Li's steps were clearly steadfast, as if she was determined to head to a particular place. And Bai Xue had a feeling that Jiang Li was very familiar with Xiangyang. It was just like how their farmer employers knew exactly where each grain and every fruit were planted and would not mix them up.

But Tonger had said that it was Jiang Li's first time returning to Xiangyang, and others had said the same, so it was probably just her own misapprehension. Bai Xue shook her head, casting out the strange feeling from her mind.

Yet, this intuition of hers was soon confirmed.

After walking for a while more, Jiang Li stopped.

"Miss?" Tonger halted as well, thinking that Jiang Li was tired and hastily offered, "Are you weary? Shall I help you rest for a bit?"

"No need," Jiang Li said, "Let's go in."
