After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 115 Encountering a Female Assassin on the Way Out

Fortunately, after a violent collision, the carriage finally came to a slow stop, ceasing its violent shaking. Le'an's loud cries were the first to bring Li Tingxue back to her senses.

Disregarding her own safety, she immediately looked down to check on the child in her arms. When she found that the child was unharmed and was only crying because of fright, her heart finally settled down.

With a heavy heart, Li Tingxue took the child from Baihe's arms, carefully held him in her arms, and gently rocked him while humming a soft lullaby, trying to soothe the frightened little Le'an.

Meanwhile, her anxious eyes kept glancing out of the car, eager to know what had happened.

Cuiyu, standing to the side, said to Jiang Mianmian in a panic, "Madam, should we go down and take a look?"

Jiang Mianmian's face had turned pale, and a fine layer of sweat had appeared on her forehead. Her voice trembled as she replied:

"No...no need for now, let's wait a bit and see what the third brother says when he gets here. If he tells us to go down, then we can go down."

After saying that, she turned to look at her daughter-in-law, only to see that the other woman also had a look of terror on her face.

"Is the child alright?"

Li Tingxue shook her head, indicating that Le'an was alright.

She then said urgently, "Uh, Mother is right. We don't understand the situation yet, so we shouldn't get off the carriage rashly!"

So, everyone waited for Gu Yunchen in the carriage. Jiang Mianmian's legs were weak from being so frightened that she didn't want to get off the carriage at this time.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still convinced that there was something wrong with their carriage, but then they heard Gu Yunchen's anxious voice:

"Mother, sister-in-law, are you both alright? Are you hurt?" The two quickly shook their heads at him, indicating that they were fine.

"Luckily, it's this carriage I specially made; it's quite safe, otherwise things would have been much worse!"

Gu Yunchen immediately got into the carriage and only felt relieved after seeing that they were all alright.

Jiang Mianmian was shocked to find that Gu Yunchen's right hand was already tightly gripping the sword hilt, his whole body was taut, his face was full of vigilance and wariness, and his eyes were fixed on the carriage opposite him.

"Third brother, have you messed with someone?"

Jiang Mianmian stared wide-eyed at her son, the shocking interpretation he had given her yesterday flashing through her mind. Her heart tightened, a chill ran down her spine, and she couldn't help but gasp.

[Holy crap, no way! Did I really guess right? This is so unlucky!]

Jiang Mianmian secretly groaned in her heart while muttering to herself.

"It's just that I went out for a while, how could I be so unlucky? Is it really that bad?"

The more she thought about it, the more wronged and helpless she felt. She had only come out to find fault with someone, but who would have thought that she would encounter such a thing now?

Li Tingxue, standing to the side, was also pale-faced, her expression filled with regret. She silently cursed herself:

Oh my god! No...no way...

If I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have joined in the commotion and encouraged my mother-in-law to go out with me, and I certainly shouldn't have rushed out to see what was going on.

Could it be true, as my mother said, that the legendary reborn woman has come knocking on our door, and she's here to cause trouble for Gu Yunchen?

Just then, a piercing creaking sound came from outside.

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian calmed herself down, lifted the small curtain of the horse carriage, and peered out to check the situation.

Suddenly, the wheels of the carriage opposite them broke off, and the entire carriage tilted violently.

Immediately afterwards, a woman with a graceful and charming figure suddenly jumped down from the carriage.

The woman was dressed in a bright red dress, the silk fabric shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight, like a burning flame.

A gentle breeze blew by, and her skirt swayed in the wind like a butterfly in flight, exuding a captivating charm.

Judging from her appearance, she must have suffered a considerable injury. Her right hand was tightly clutching a plain handkerchief, and she was trying her best to press down the blood flowing from her forehead.

She struggled to lift her head and looked straight in their direction. Then, she hurriedly approached the carriage, but before she could get close, the coachman, who looked terrified, reached out and stopped her.

The coachman said in a trembling voice:

“Miss…please stop here for now. If there is anything you need, please feel free to tell me, and I will certainly pass it on to my young master. At this moment, my young master is truly unable to speak directly with you!”

When she saw the carriage opposite her, she felt a little relieved. Although the carriage canopy was slightly broken, its overall condition was surprisingly fine.

Seeing this, her previously tense nerves relaxed a little.

Even when the coachman tried to stop her, she didn't get angry, nor did she intentionally make things difficult for him. Instead, she raised her voice and shouted at the carriage:

"Hey, are the people in the carriage alright? I... I really didn't mean to! It was just that my horse suddenly went berserk and went out of control, which caused this disaster. I wonder if the people in the carriage were injured?"

However, all that answered her was silence.

"Say something!" she called out anxiously again.

Just then, Jiang Mianmian, sitting inside the carriage, curiously peeked out through the gap in the curtain. In an instant, her pupils dilated, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

[Holy crap! What the heck?! Is my mouth somehow blessed? Why does the thing I fear most always happen to me?!]

[Look what's happened! That legendary reborn woman has actually come knocking on our door! What... what are we going to do? This is driving me crazy!]

At this moment, Li Tingxue, who was tightly holding Le'an, was also filled with astonishment, and her body trembled involuntarily: No...no way? Mother, please don't scare me! My little heart can't take such a fright!

Gu Yunchen: "..."

Bloodstained Female Assassin

This fearsome, bloodthirsty female assassin was ruthless and merciless, killing without hesitation. Every move she made was cruel and decisive, and human life was as worthless as grass in her eyes.

Furthermore, she had a peculiar habit—she always loved to wear a bright, eye-catching red dress. It is said that her fondness for red stemmed from her belief that this vibrant color could perfectly conceal the splatter of blood during acts of violence.

[This blood-red female assassin's catchphrase was: "Death is not the end of life. I'm just kindly sending these poor wretch to meet their ancestors sooner."]

When she saw this sentence, she couldn't help but feel terrified, fearing that she would be the next victim.

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but turn her gaze to Gu Yunchen, thinking to herself: How could such a ruthless and vicious person, with a heart of stone and cruel methods, fall in love with her?

His taste is a bit too extreme!

At the same time, Gu Yunchen was also wondering to himself: why did his mother's imagination become so vivid? It was truly baffling!

He actually knew this woman and had some understanding of her.

Her name is Wu Zhenmin. She grew up in a relatively well-off family. Although her family was not extremely wealthy, she received a very good upbringing because her father hired a tutor to carefully teach her from a young age.

After years of careful nurturing, Wu Zhenmin is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, making her a truly versatile talent.

However, her mother, due to poor health, passed away shortly after her birth. Her father, busy managing the family business, was often away from home and rarely returned.

As a result, in the vast mansion, the only people who accompanied Wu Zhenmin as she grew up were the nanny and the housekeeper. Lacking parental love from a young age, her heart was filled with endless loneliness and desolation.

Perhaps it was because of this unique upbringing that Wu Zhenmin developed some unusual traits in her emotions—she had a slight Oedipus complex.

That being said, it happened during one of Gu Yunchen's missions. One rainy day, as he passed the entrance to a dark alley, he suddenly heard a soft sobbing sound.

Turning around at the sound, I saw a figure huddled in a corner, weeping bitterly, heartbroken and devastated. As I approached, I realized it was Wu Zhenmin!

By this time, she was soaked to the bone, looking like a disheveled "drenched chicken".

Looking at the petite, frail, and helpless woman before him, Gu Yunchen couldn't help but feel a surge of sympathy. He himself had experienced hardship and loneliness in his childhood.

Without hesitation, he stepped towards Wu Zhenmin and asked her with concern where her family and friends were, and what had happened to make her cry here.

When Gu Yunchen got closer, he realized that Wu Zhenmin had already drunk quite a bit of alcohol, so much so that he could smell the strong, pungent odor of alcohol when he got close to her.

"You...you finally came to find me?"

She slowly raised her head, her gaze hazy and indistinct as she looked at the approaching figure.

Suddenly, as if she had found someone to lean on, she burst into tears and, like a wounded kitten, threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

Wu Zhenmin hugged him tightly, her body trembling slightly, and her tears instantly soaked the front of his shirt.

She kept muttering, "Why? Why don't you want me? Why can't you marry me? Why did you abandon me? Waaah..."

Those fragmented and indistinct words evoked pity in the reader.
