After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Lin Ting has always known this thing. It is actually a kind of cactus, but it is very small.

"Master Qu, take this black feather jade to the county government office for inspection. If it is really as I said, then leaving it with my sister would be dangerous for her."

Qu Yuanxun looked at Lin Lin. He did not doubt Lin Lin, but this was also a plan to protect Lin Lin.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

In the evening, Lin Ting returned to Wanhetang to accompany Shen Wanyi. They were still busy with the construction of the house at home, so Lin Ting asked Yang Xiuxiu to go back to help the next day.

Anyway, she is in the county, so let her take care of Shen Wanyi.

At 11:00 PM in the evening, Lin Lin was still reading under the lamp when there was a knock on the door of her courtyard.

"Who?"

Lin Lin frowned and spoke, instinctively grabbing a stick nearby.

The one who answered her was a familiar voice.

"Mrs. Lin, it's me!"

This was Qu Yuanxun's voice. Lin Lin put down the stick, stood up and opened the door for him.

Seeing that he had a worried look on his face and couldn't express his confusion, he was still holding the pot of black jade that she had taken from her in the afternoon.

"Master Qu, it's so late, do you have anything else to do?"

The two of them have known each other for about two months, so they are quite familiar with each other.

"I have something to ask Madam Lin for help, but it's very dangerous. Could you please let me in and talk?"

It is said that there is a lot of gossip around a widow. Lin Lin is a woman living alone here. If people see men coming in and out, there will be some unpleasant words said about her.

But Lin Lin didn't care anymore. She was doing the right thing anyway, so why should she care about what others said?

"Master Qu, please come in!"

Lin Lin poured tea for Qu Yuanxun. To be honest, she still owed Qu Yuanxun a favor. If it weren't for Qu Yuanxun, she wouldn't be alive today.

"Master Qu, if you have something to say, just tell me!"

Although his idea was very unkind and might put Lin Lin in danger, he really couldn't think of any other way to catch the murderer.

"I think Madam Lin has heard about the water ghost murder case that's been making a lot of noise in Wenzhu County these past few days, right?"

Lin Lin nodded. She worked at the Tea House and was usually one of the first people to know about things like this.

"Yeah! I've heard of it. It's all about ghosts and gods."

Qu Yuanxun was really surprised that Lin Lin would think this way.

"Yes, these are indeed some ghost stories, and today your sister also discovered two medicines, black feather jade and white quartz.

In this case, there are two different ways of death, and both victims remain unidentified, making it extremely difficult to find out the truth.”

"What does that mean, Master Qu, that you came to me for help?"

As long as I agree to help him, I will be involved in this murder case, but if I owe someone a favor, I must pay it back.

Lin Ting has always wanted to clear Lin Lin completely, so Qu Yuanxun's behavior is a bit immoral.

But for the safety of the women in Wenzhu County, the only person he could think of was Lin Lin.

Qu Yuanxun placed the black feather jade in front of Lin Lin and said solemnly.

"Mrs. Lin said that this kind of jade plant grows in the desert. In places like ours, almost no one would use it as a bonsai.

Peyote is so scarce, if the murderer found out you still had one, they would definitely come looking for it."

Lin Lin understood what Qu Yuanxun meant.

"Master Qu wants to use me as bait. It would be best if I could take him to a place like the Tea House and quickly let the murderer know about this basin of black jade. Is that what you mean?"

Lin Lin was very calm when she said this, so calm that Qu Yuanxun felt guilty from the bottom of his heart.

Then he just nodded, and he was a little afraid to look Lin Lin in the eye.

"I will have someone follow you at all times, protecting you in secret and ensuring your normal life is safe."

Lin Lin took the pot of peyote in her hands. Such a cute and round thing, who would have thought it would become a tool for killing people.

"Okay! I promise you."

Qu Yuanxun looked up at Lin Lin, not expecting her to agree so quickly.

She has changed a lot now. She has shed her fatigue and cowardice, and her temperament radiates elegance from the inside out.

It was as if she had been reborn. She had a slender figure, fair skin, neat hair, and confident eyes. She had truly transformed from the inside out.

"Okay! Then I'll go back to the county government office, you take some rest."

Lin Lin nodded and walked him to the door.

After walking a few steps, Qu Yuanxun turned around to look at her frail figure. Although he couldn't bear it, this was the only thing he could say.

"Mrs. Lin, be careful!"

"Ok!"

After closing the door, Lin Lin stopped reading, watered the flowers and plants in the small courtyard again, and then took the pot of black jade back to her room.

On the second day, because Lin Ting had to take care of Shen Wanyi, she was almost always in Wanhetang, while Lin Lin was managing the Tea House.

When Lin Lin arrived at the Tea House, she was holding the pot of black jade in her hand.

It was the first time that Xiaofu saw Lin Lin bring such a special green plant to the Tea House.

"Mrs. Lin, are you going to use this green plant as a decoration for our teahouse? It's so small, where can I put it so that others can see it?"

The plant is small and delicate. If you don’t hold it in your hands and look at it from a distance, you won’t be able to see its beauty at all.

Lin Lin smiled mysteriously, put the pot of black jade in Xiaofu's hand, and said with a hint of showing off.

"Hold it, I don't use this for decoration, I use this to open your eyes."

Xiaofu, Xiaoyuan, Xiaowu and the others all gathered around to watch. They had never seen this kind of plant before.

"Mrs. Lin, what on earth is this?"

Lin Lin pointed at the three Phoebe plants and said, "This is a very magical plant. Do you know the desert?

It is the kind of plant that can survive and reproduce in the endless desert where there is no grass.

Its extraordinary vitality is truly admirable, and it also has a beautiful name, Phoebe, which, like its appearance, exudes mystery."

After hearing Lin Lin's description, Xiaofu and others looked at the black feather jade, and thought of its small size and its perseverance standing in the desert.

This really opened their eyes. With just a few people like this, they might never see plants in the desert in their entire lives.

"Mrs. Lin, could you lend this to us to take another look? I want to take a good look at it and see if there's anything special about it."

Lin Lin pursed her lips and smiled: "Take it and show it to everyone in the Tea House. If there are guests who want to see it, you can let them see it, but remember to return it to me after you're done."

There are several yamen runners dressed as businessmen in the Chayu Building. They will watch Wu Yuyu's direction.

This is the bait. It doesn’t matter where you catch the fish.

Lin Lin returned to the office room on the third floor that belonged to her and Lin Ting, picked up the list of goods, and went downstairs to check the raw materials and ingredients needed for making pastries.
