After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Among all the concubines, Madam Liu and the Third Aunt had the best relationship on a daily basis. It was not because of anything else, but because the Third Aunt never competed for favor.

In recent years, because of her frail health and constant bedriddenness, the master spent less and less time in her room. However, she did not make a fuss or complain, but knelt in the ancestral hall every day to worship Buddha, kneeling for the whole day. Gradually, her presence in the mansion became less and less.

Such a non-competitive concubine is the one that wins Madam Liu's heart the most.

The Second Aunt at the side also helped to speak up: "That's right, Third Aunt is kind-hearted, she wouldn't even step on an ant to death, how could she possibly poison the Master? In my opinion, it was you who harmed the Master, and now that the truth has been revealed, you want to frame Third Aunt."

Lin Shuning listened quietly, thinking to herself, this county magistrate's mansion is really interesting. The women in the back house are so partial to the third concubine.

Her gaze swept over the tearful Third Aunt, her eyes deep.

Buddha's heart?

Is it that she is really not the murderer, or is it that the hypocritical people set it up too well?

The fourth concubine sneered, "You are so kindhearted that you can't even step on an ant to death? I think not only are your brains thin, but the water in them is almost squeezed out. If she really has a deep affection for the master, how could she not even fight for his favor? The root cause is that she doesn't love him!"

After that, she kowtowed to Jiang Yu and said earnestly: "Your Highness, Prince Rui, everything I said just now is true. I dare not lie in the slightest. The innocent are innocent. Please clear my name, Your Highness!"

Jiang Yu didn't say anything, but looked at Lin Shuning.

Lin Shuning nodded and took a few steps forward. "I discovered the poison in County Magistrate Liu's body. The formula of the poison contains a spice that sticks to the skin for a long time and turns the skin red when it touches water. Madam Liu, please ask someone to fetch a basin of water. Starting with the fourth concubine, put your hands into the water one by one. We will know who the murderer is."

"That's a good idea," Madam Liu glared at Fourth Aunt with gritted teeth, "I want to see how you can argue then! Someone, go get a basin of water."

After a while, a basin of water was brought over. The servant in the mansion knelt on the ground and held the basin high with his hands.

The fourth aunt slowly stood up, straightened her dress, walked over calmly, stretched out a pair of smooth, white and slender hands, and put it into the water.

Except for the Third Aunt, Madam Liu and several other concubines all squeezed over and stretched their heads to look.

The fourth aunt took out her hand, and her skin was still the original color, without any change.

There was an obvious flash of disappointment in the eyes of several people.

The fourth concubine snorted coldly: "What else do you have to say this time? Why don't you shut your stinky mouths? You swear that I harmed the master, but you are also slandering me with empty words. If His Royal Highness Prince Rui was not here, I would tear your mouths apart!"

Madam Liu knew she was in the wrong, so she kept silent and just glared at her hatefully.

"Alright," Jiang Yu's eyes showed impatience. He looked at the Third Aunt with a cold gaze and opened his thin lips slightly, "It's your turn."

The third aunt's face changed slightly, her hands involuntarily clenched the handkerchief, she walked slowly towards the basin, and slowly stretched out her hand.

At this moment, she suddenly lifted the basin of water and threw it towards Jiang Yu. Then she touched the ground with her toes, pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, broke the basin in half, and the white light of death rushed towards Jiang Yu's chest!

There were screams all of a sudden in the courtyard. Madam Liu and several other concubines had always thought that Third Aunt was frail and weak, and had never expected such a thing to happen. They were so scared that they collapsed to the ground, huddled together in fear, and trembled like a sieve.

Jiang Yu didn't move, his graceful features were as cold as ice.

Chen Zhao, who was standing nearby, quickly drew out the sword from his waist and blocked the attack with the sword, shouting, "How dare you! How dare you assassinate His Royal Highness Prince Rui? Do you want to die?!"

The Third Aunt laughed out loud, her eyes fierce: "The matter has been exposed, I have no chance of survival, I might as well drag you to be buried with me!"

She picked up the dagger, rushed forward again, and fought with Chen Zhao, the fight was fierce.

Although Chen Zhao's sword strikes were fierce, he did not use his full strength. He also wanted to bring the third aunt back alive, interrogate her strictly, and force her to confess the person behind her.

But he was a well-trained secret guard after all, and even if he didn't use too much force, after a few rounds, Third Aunt was at a disadvantage. She gritted her teeth and swept a cold gaze over Madam Liu and the others, scaring them so much that they screamed again and hugged each other tighter. This was probably the most united they had been since they entered the mansion.

The Third Aunt sneered with disdain, looked away, pointed her toes, and stabbed at Jiang Yu with all her might, apparently wanting to take a desperate gamble.

Lin Shuning subconsciously wanted to protect Jiang Yu, but when the knife was about to get close to Jiang Yu, the knife turned and attacked Lin Shuning who was standing in front of Jiang Yu's left. "It's you, the coroner, who ruined my plan. I'm going to take your life today!"

The Third Aunt laughed wildly. Her tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was sudden and the distance was close. There was no way this old man could dodge it!

However, before the smile in her eyes faded, the graceful man suddenly moved.

This movement was as fast as thunder, like the collapse of a tsunami in the abyss, rushing over like flowing clouds and water, dimming the bright sunshine. The grass leaves on the ground were driven by this incomparable fast energy, and all of them were uprooted, spinning and condensing into green and flying towards the direction of the knife tip!

Jiang Yu's body was almost pressed against Lin Shuning's shoulder. He flashed in front of her in an instant, stretched out his hand and grasped her waist, then pulled her behind him with his backhand. With his other hand, he rolled up his sleeve, and as they both moved backward, the grass leaves mixed with his internal energy whistled and spun instantly, completely crushing the blade of the deadly knife.

When the last leaf of grass with a faint glow fell to the ground, it happened to land on the tip of Jiang Yu's boot. The broken blade made a few "clang clang" sounds in the air, just like a star falling to the ground, emitting a cold white light.

Lin Shuning's sight suddenly met the cold white light, and she felt dizzy for an instant. There seemed to be a sudden flash of cold silver light in her mind. Some blurry and fragmented yet familiar pictures slowly spread out in the white light. She couldn't see clearly, but there seemed to be a string in her heart, which was being pulled tighter inch by inch, causing her heart to ache sharply.

She widened her eyes in panic and took a few weak steps forward, but the next moment, she felt a heat slowly flowing from her palms into her heart.

Lin Shuning trembled.

She closed her eyes, then looked up again and heard Jiang Yu pulling her closer to him and saying in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The Third Aunt originally thought that she would surely win by attacking the old man with frail arms and legs, but she never expected that Jiang Yu would be able to protect her in such a critical moment, and even had the strength to break her knife, making it impossible for her to dodge. She was shaken by the strong wind from his sleeves and took several steps back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, Chen Zhao immediately stepped forward to capture her, but before he got close to her, he saw her wave her hand and a cloud of smoke instantly rose from under her feet.

Lin Shuning had come back to his senses and said quickly, "Oh no, stop her quickly, she's trying to run away!"

However, the smoke had already risen, and the pungent white smoke made it impossible to open one's eyes, so there was no way to see the figure of the Third Aunt.

Lin Shuning was anxious, and suddenly remembered that Xiaobai had just upgraded a new function not long ago, and hurriedly called out in his heart: "Xiaobai, help me stop that woman!"

"Got it! It's finally my turn to perform, hahaha!" Xiaobai had been rubbing his hands in the bracelet, ready to show his prowess. It had been a long time since he had used this ability. Forget it, he couldn't remember.

Ladies and gentlemen, here comes Mr. Bai!

But in a moment, a... Husky appeared in front of Lin Shuning's eyes. It sniffed the ground, barked twice quickly, and rushed into the smoke.

"what--"

All I heard was a scream.

Xiao Bai dragged the Third Aunt out of the smoke. Lin Shuning covered his nose and shouted angrily, "Run! Why don't you run?"

The Third Aunt looked at Erha, who was still biting her calf tightly, with fear on her face, and shouted angrily: "Where did this mad dog come from? When did the mansion have mad dogs?"

Madam Liu and the others looked at each other, not knowing how the dog suddenly appeared here.

Only Jiang Yu's eyes fell on Lin Shuning.
