After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

It was not far from the river bank, and Bai Youyou estimated that with her current physical strength, it would be no problem for her to swim over.

She was delighted, and while the man in black was gritting his teeth to ease the pain in his leg, she struggled to break free from his hand and kicked him in the waist.

"Well!"

The man in black groaned and his body floated to the side with the force of the water.

The two of them instantly opened up a distance of ten feet between them, and Bai Youyou swam hard towards the river bank.

"Damn girl, you are looking for death!"

The man in black watched her escape from his side and immediately swam quickly to catch up with her.

It didn't take long for Bai Youyou's left arm to lose strength again, and its speed slowed down instantly.

At that moment, a big hand grabbed her ankle.

If I get ashore, I will definitely not be a match for this man in black.

Bai Youyou raised her face up like a fish and raised her other foot to kick the black-clothed man's wrist.

"Let me go, or we'll both die here!"

"Humph, after seeing my appearance, you still want to survive?"

The man in black had a grim smile, and a thumb-sized scar on his brow was crawling on his face like a centipede.

Bai Youyou had already known that those people would not leave him alive, and she did not have such an idea.

"If you want to die, go die by yourself, don't drag me down with you!"

The black-clad man's legs were still cramping, and his body was floating in the water. "If I tell you to run away, my wife and children will have a hard time!"

Bai Youyou didn’t know what the life-threatening secret that Lu Huaizhen was talking about was, but what secret could implicate the entire family?

"If you let me go, I promise not to tell anyone about this."

"The most untrustworthy thing in this world is a promise. I'm not stupid!"

The man in black felt that his legs were completely out of his control. He pulled Bai Youyou's ankle with all his strength, "Even if you are going to die today, I will take you with me!"

"You damned one!"

Bai Youyou cursed loudly, and her body was pulled by her and sank to the bottom of the river.

“Gurgle…Gurgle…”

The air in his chest was getting less and less. Bai Youyou kicked him hard on the head, but the man still didn't let go.

Her brain was deprived of oxygen, and she closed her eyes in despair and helplessness.

The Bodhisattva still did not bless her this time!

I wailed in my heart, and the next moment I knew nothing.

In the capital city, all the spies from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion came out in droves, as well as the soldiers who had been injured and retreated. After learning that Bai Youyou was missing, they all put down what they were doing and went along the river bank to look for her.

"It's been a month, why is there still no news?"

In just one month, Mrs. Lu had lost so much weight that she was almost unrecognizable. She stood at the gate of the mansion every day, and whenever someone came in, she would go up to them and ask them with an anxious look on her face.

After hearing that there was no news, the light in his eyes instantly went out and he looked like a walking corpse.

"If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body. If there's no news, then that's good news."

The old lady looked haggard. These days, she and the Lu family members could not eat or sleep.

"But it's been a month. If he's still alive—"

Mrs. Lu covered her chest and cried bitterly.

Bai Luochuan came back from outside, exhausted. As soon as he stepped off his horse, Lu rushed over to him, "Luochuan, have you found your sister?"

"No," Bai Luochuan shook his head. When Lu was about to faint, he quickly said, "My sister was not found, but someone saw a person floating on the river. He was rescued by a large cargo ship."

Hearing this, Lu's head stood up instantly. She grabbed Bai Luochuan's sleeve and asked, "Really?"

"Lu Chen has already taken people to look for the cargo ship. He asked me to come back and tell you."

"Kid, why are you panting so hard when you speak? Don't you know how to finish your sentence in one go?"

Lu hit his arm and cried even louder.

I have been so worried and crying these days that my voice has become hoarse.

Bai Luochuan let her beat him, feeling helpless.

It wasn't that he was panting while speaking, it was that she didn't even give herself a chance to finish a sentence!

The old lady's heart also relaxed a little, and she quickly asked Yang Momo to help Lu back to the courtyard to have a good rest.

"Go back quickly and eat something and have a good sleep, otherwise Youyou will come back and see you worrying like this."

Lu Huaizhen rode over on horseback, and his eyes lit up when he heard the old lady's words, "But did you find the person?"

Bai Luochuan said: "There is some news, but we don't know where the person is right now."

"What's the news?"

Bai Youyou disappeared because she sacrificed herself to save him, and Lu Huaizhen felt extremely guilty.

After he woke up from his coma, he dragged his injured body to the river bank to look for someone. The wound on his leg healed and then reopened again, and has not yet fully healed.

"This is not the place to talk, come in."

The old lady raised her eyes, glanced at Lu Huaizhen, turned around and walked towards the hall with her crutches.

She has been busy looking for Bai Youyou these days. She sent people to investigate what Lu Huaizhen had told her before, but they didn't find any useful clues.

People can run away, but mountains cannot. No matter how cleanly they deal with it, there will always be clues left behind!

"I sent people to check out Qingling Mountain, and everything inside has been destroyed." The old lady looked up at him, "Are you sure that Qingling Mountain belongs to Prince Rong?"

"It used to belong to Prince Rong. One rainy night, I unexpectedly saw Prince Rong enter Lu Lingye's house through the side door. After that, I heard him cursing and mentioning Qingling Mountain. I became suspicious, so I secretly went to Qingling Mountain."

Lu Huaizhen frowned, "But now it belongs to Lu Lingye. I'm not sure whether those people are Prince Rong's men or Lu Lingye's men."

"master!"

As soon as Lu Huaizhen finished speaking, Lu San walked in quickly from outside the house.

His peripheral vision fell on Lu Huaizhen, and the old lady said bluntly: "We are all family, so go ahead and speak."

She knew from the moment Xiaoliu started helping Lu Huaizhen that she let him go out of pity for the child who was alone and helpless in the deep palace.

Over the years, Lu Huaizhen has secretly helped them a lot, and most of the money he earned from business has been used to subsidize the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

People are all made of flesh and blood. He helped Xiaoliu so wholeheartedly and protected them because he loved him. The old lady really couldn't feel any resentment in her heart.

Lu San said, "Master, Zhuang Wei is dead. The people in the Third Prince's Mansion said that he knocked over the candlestick when he was drunk and set the gauze curtain on fire."

"How can it be?"

The old lady frowned.

Prince Rong went to the Third Prince and offered an iron mine in exchange for a life, simply because he did not want to be implicated in the affairs of Qingzhou.

I thought the Third Prince was an upright person, so I chose to hand over the people and evidence to him, but I never thought he would do such a thing!

"Master, there is one more thing!"
