Zhen Tao fell into the water.

Zhen Zhi wanted to grab Zhen Tao to stop her from falling into the water, but it was already too late.

By the time Zhen Wan looked towards the river, the man she had fallen in love with had already jumped into the water and picked up Zhen Tao.

Heh … As expected, it was all planned. Zhen Wan felt a burst of bitterness in her heart. Her closest second brother was the culprit. If he had not fallen into the water, she would not have fallen in love with Cao Xian, nor would she have become the target of others!

That Cao Xian was truly a hypocrite. He had married Zhen Family's daughter to eradicate Zhen Family, so it didn't matter to him who he married, but Zhen Wan had deeply fallen into his embrace.

Now that she had been reborn, it was only a design for her to fall in love with Cao Xian... The last bit of warmth she had towards Cao Xian disappeared like smoke in thin air.

Since the heavens allowed her to live a new life, not only would she not fall in love with him, she would even make him pay with his blood!

She glanced at Zhen Tao who was carried to the shore by Cao Xian and thought to herself: "I wonder if the one who fell into the water would become Zhen Tao if the one who fell in love with him was Zhen Tao instead."

Zhen Zhi hung his head in despair. He was upset that he had failed to scheme Zhen Wan and had instead harmed his own sister. What should he do if his little sister was really in love and wanted to follow Cao Xian and marry him? Then wouldn't the thing that my mother told me …?

Zhen Wan held the puppy in her arms and walked to Zhen Tao's side. The instant she met Cao Xian's gaze, she seemed to have returned to her previous life. All sorts of emotions from his past life were unforgettable. However, Cao Xian was heartless, he killed her entire clan, and even made her into a human. Why would she still linger?

"Thank you, Brother Ren, for saving my sister." Zhen Wan stared at Cao Xian with a deep expression, "Just leave it to my second brother."

Cao Xian's gaze paused on Zhen Wan for a moment and then shifted away. He handed Zhen Tao to Zhen Zhi and said with a bow, "I was passing by here and saw someone fall into the water. Since the girl's family is here, this one shall not disturb you any longer. "

That year, when Zhen Wan was rescued and landed on the shore, Cao Xian had said the same thing. Those gentle and scholarly words lingered in her heart for a long time …

"Thank you, young master. My little sister should be fine. I'll be taking her back now." Zhen Zhi lowered his head and said to Zhen Tao who was in his arms. With that, he carried Zhen Tao and prepared to leave.

Cao Xian's expression slightly changed. He took a step forward and was about to stop them, "Eh …?"

Zhen Tao held onto Cao Xian's sleeve and asked weakly, "Thank you, young master, for saving my life … Cough cough … "I don't know your surname, but how should I thank you …"

Seeing the situation, Zhen Wan also pulled Zhen Zhi and said, "Second brother, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't even thanked the Young Master and asked him where he lives. "

"Oh —" Cao Xian gently pushed away Zhen Tao's hand and bowed again. He then said in a gentle manner, "I'm surnamed Cao, and I'm only named Zhi. I came across you by chance and saved you without asking for any thanks. Miss, I shall take my leave. See you again if fate wills it. "

Cao Xian looked at Zhen Tao, then turned around and walked away. Zhen Wan looked at Cao Xian's back and felt a wave of disgust in her heart. That appearance of a gentleman just now was exactly the same as when he captured her heart in his previous life.

Zhen Zhi looked at Cao Xian's back and felt a burst of regret in his heart. However, there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that his sister Zhen Tao would not be obsessed with Cao Xian.

Returning to the Zhen Mansion, Zhen Zhi still carried Zhen Tao back to First Madam's place, while Zhen Wan returned to her mother's brocade lotus residence.

When Zhen Wan saw her mother, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She stepped forward and tightly embraced her mother, Su Lianji.

"Wan, what happened to you?" Su Lianji gently patted Zhen Wan's back and asked gently.

Zhen Wan composed herself and let go of Su Lianji. She wiped her tears and said, "It's nothing. I just missed you too much."

"Child, what nonsense are you spouting? Didn't we just meet at dinner time? Why do you miss me so much? " Su Lianji took Zhen Wan's hand as if she despised it and patted it twice.

"That's right, Mother," Zhen Wan said as she rubbed her eyes. "Let's not talk about that anymore. Let me tell Mother about the interesting things we met in the lantern market …"

It was early in the morning when the concubines paid their respects to First Madam and the madame. First Madam left Zhen Wan alone.

"Whap." First Madam slapped Zhen Wan's face.
