The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

[Host, do you still remember Jiang Zhiyu? He was the pretty boy you rescued from an old man when Ning Jin and the others took you on a detour to Jiangnan on your way to Beijing.]

"Remember, what happened to him?"

【died. 】

"..."

Xie Yu was speechless.

She was so anxious that she was about to die because the points she owed the system were about to exceed 100,000, and the lousy system actually had the leisure to tell her that a random person had died!

But the next second she suddenly remembered.

At that time, she followed the system's prompts to rescue the pretty boy!

Moreover, she had asked the system at that time whether the pretty boy was her target, but the system replied in a mysterious tone, "Host, you will know in the future!"

For this reason, she quickly asked again: "Could it be that Jiang Zhiyu is some hidden mission?"

[I guess so. In the host's strategy outline, he fell in love with the host at first sight because the host saved him, and he's willing to die for the host. Later, he will help the host eliminate Yin Wanyu. Once he dies, the host will no longer be able to eliminate Yin Wanyu. If Yin Wanyu survives, Li Shu will always be under her protection, and Li Shu's luck will naturally rise.]

"!!!"

Xie Yu clenched his hands and clenched his teeth.

A person she had only met once and almost forgotten died, and actually caused her to lose 10,000 points?

Dou E was not wronged by her!

Moreover, that was a chess piece that she could use without any strategy, and was willing to die for her!

Who the hell killed him?

*

Grand Princess Mansion.

After Li Shu accompanied Yin Wanyu for dinner, she was invited by Yin Wanyu to go to the hot springs with her.

On the way there, she thought it was an artificial hot spring that imitated a natural hot spring.

Unexpectedly, it was a natural hot spring.

And quite large.

The surrounding layout is also very elegant.

She and Yin Wanyu soaked in it, surrounded by mist, and felt like they were in the fairyland of Yaochi.

However, she tried to find out several times during this period, but failed.

Then, just as they finished bathing, someone came hurriedly and whispered something in Yin Wanyu's ear.

Yin Wanyu's face changed when she heard this, and she left first after asking someone to send her back.

She knew that it was Lin Yuan's turn to succeed.

On the way back, thinking about Yin Wanyu's reaction after hearing the news, I always felt a little sorry for Yin Wanyu.

Qinghong Cuiwei, who was completely unaware of the situation, kept talking about the hot spring and Yin Wanyu's figure and good skin.

As she listened, her mind couldn't help but drift to Yin Wanyu's almost perfect figure and skin as smooth as that of a young girl. She couldn't help but look forward to the maintenance recipe that Aunt Yaofang had just given to Madam Gui.

After returning home, she leaned on the chaise longue with a fur cushion and read for a while.

When I was about to go to bed, Lin Yuan came.

She immediately lost all sleepiness, and after sending Aunt Gui and the others away, she asked, "Is that man dead?"

"died."

"How did you kill him?"

"Use poison."

"The kind that kills instantly?"

"No, that poison will cause your internal organs to decay rapidly, and you'll die slowly in excruciating pain beyond human imagination, without even being able to scream."

"There is such a terrible poison in the world. Did you do it?"

"……Yes."

Lin Yuan responded with a slight hesitation, then added cautiously, "I usually don't use poison. I used it today because I felt that this was the first person the young lady wanted to kill, and he must have done something unforgivable..."

At the end of his words, Lin Yuan saw Li Shu smiling at him, and his heart instantly felt at ease, but at the same time his ears became hot again.

Li Shu smiled and said, "What I want is for that person to die in extreme pain. You did a great job."

In order to ignore his burning ears, Lin Yuan hurriedly continued, "Although the young lady may know that person's background very well, I still did a little research before taking action. That person is called Jiang Zhiyu. He is one of the three concubines sent to the Grand Princess's residence by the current emperor a month ago. Because his appearance is almost identical to that of the Grand Princess's deceased husband, he immediately won the Grand Princess's special treatment. In addition, he is very good at pleasing the Grand Princess, so..."

"That man looks exactly like the Grand Princess's deceased consort?"

Li Shu asked this question before Lin Yuan finished speaking.

Lin Yuan nodded. "As far as I know, since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has sent no less than fifty concubines to the Grand Princess's residence. However, most of them were not sent in openly, so the world is not aware of it. And among those fifty concubines, most of them more or less resembled the Grand Princess's deceased husband."

Li Shu's face gradually darkened, and she had a hunch that something was wrong.

As the nephew of the Grand Princess, the Emperor gave her eight or ten concubines because she had no intention of marrying off again. This could barely be considered thoughtful.

But no less than fifty were delivered intermittently...

This is a bit outrageous...

It makes people feel that there is ulterior motive!

Then she lowered her voice and ordered, "Find out what Jiang Zhiyu did before he was sent to the Grand Princess's residence. Also, check out the Grand Princess's other lovers."

"Yes."

"By the way, are all those concubines still in the Grand Princess's residence?"

"There seem to be less than twenty people left. The rest were kicked out by the Grand Princess for various reasons. For example, their appearance didn't suit the Grand Princess's taste, they weren't smart enough to please the Grand Princess, and... they couldn't satisfy the Grand Princess..."

As he spoke, Lin Yuan slowly lowered his head.

Only then did Li Shu realize that his ears were completely red.

Although she was a little surprised that a man like him would be as shy as a little girl in discussing those things with others, she still considerately changed the subject immediately, "After all, those concubines are all behind the current emperor. You must be careful and don't easily alert the enemy. Put safety first."

"Yes!"

"Also, I'd like to ask about what happened in the Zhenbei General's Mansion today. Why did you have someone take action in broad daylight?"

"I told them to do it at night, but there are a few elderly people in the General's Mansion who used to serve the young lady's mother. They said that Xie Yu made many changes to Shaoguang Courtyard's layout the day he moved in, and General Chu and his sons didn't stop him. So they were very angry and decided to do it during the day. When I went to question them today about their decision, they said they would apologize to the young lady in person later."

"..."

Li Shu frowned slightly.

The old man who took care of my mother...

But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't think of who they could be.

After all, there are still a lot of servants in the general's mansion.

Then, just as she was about to ask whether those people had already left the General's Mansion, she heard Lin Yuan hesitantly say, "Miss, they told me today...that Xie Yu was a bit weird..."
