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

"Strange, isn't it?" Li Shu immediately became interested. "But after Xie Yu moved into the General's Mansion, what unbelievable things have they encountered involving Xie Yu?"

"It's not that they've encountered him before. They said that before Xie Yu moved into the General's Mansion, they were already quite displeased with him because he was too close to his son-in-law. Who would have thought that Xie Yu would act like the owner of Shao Guang Yuan as soon as he moved in, changing things all the time. They were really fed up and wanted to teach Xie Yu a lesson. But no matter if they tampered with Xie Yu's food or the room where he lived, Xie Yu would always see through it and resolve it. After so many times, they began to wonder if Xie Yu had the foresight or could sense danger or something."

"..."

Li Shu frowned slightly.

It is unlikely that she could predict the future, otherwise her every move would be under Xie Yu's control.

In that case, Xie Yu must have already told Ning Jin or Dai Jun that the recent rumors in the capital were all spread by her. Given the temperament of Ning Jin and Xu Daijun, mother and son, once they knew that it was her who did it, they would definitely blame her directly.

As for being able to sense danger...

Thinking of this, Li Shu's face suddenly became serious.

Because she suddenly thought of Jiang Zhiyu, who had helped Xie Yu plot and frame her in her dream, and also helped Xie Yu plot and frame and kill the Grand Princess. She immediately wanted to kill him, but she still had no intention of killing Xie Yu, the culprit who had done more evil!

Even when she realized that this was a bit incongruous, she still couldn't muster the intention to kill Xie Yu!

This is much more bizarre than what Lin Yuan said!

Then, after a long silence, she tried to say, "There's something I want to confirm, and I need you to do it yourself."

"Miss, please tell me."

"Go and try to kill Xie Yu for me."

"..."

Lin Yuan was a little confused.

The lady asked him to try to kill Xie Yu, instead of asking him to kill Xie Yu...

As if he could see the doubt on his face, he heard Li Shu say, "Anyway, just try it once. If you can't succeed, there's no need to try again."

"Yes!"

Lin Yuan was very confident in his skills, so he responded with some excitement.

Although Xie Yu didn't do anything directly to the young lady, she caused the son-in-law to become estranged from the young lady. She deserved to die, and it was impossible for him to fail!

However, he left with full confidence. The next morning, when Li Shu woke up from a nightmare, she saw him kneeling dejectedly in front of her bed.

Facing his complex expression full of self-blame, guilt, and self-doubt, she didn't need to ask any more questions.

Rubbing his temples, he sat up and said, "Tell me the details of the process."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan frowned tightly and asked, "Young lady, the reason you asked me to try instead of killing him is because you knew I would fail?"

Li Shu felt very dizzy and was busy rubbing her temples. She didn't respond in time, so she heard him muttering softly, "It seems that I am still too conceited. My skills are far from perfect. I need to return to Peacock Ridge to practice hard in seclusion! When Sanniang comes back, I will..."

"Peacock Ridge? Is that where the people in your building practice martial arts? There won't be a lot of peacocks, will there?" Li Shu interrupted his mumbling without giving him a chance to reply. She then continued, "Get up first. Next time, don't kneel by my bed waiting for me to wake up like this. It's a good thing it's already light out now. If it had been any darker, I would have scared you into giving me a heart attack or something!"

"Please forgive me, young lady! I will pay more attention in the future!"

"Did you say the same thing yesterday?"

"Seems to be……"

Lin Yuan scratched his head and his ears turned red again.

Then he finally noticed Li Shu rubbing her temples. Only then did he realize there was no scent of calming incense in the room. He hurriedly asked, "Didn't the young lady send someone back to the Dingbei Marquis's Mansion to get some last night?"

Li Shu shook her head. "I didn't let them go back to get it. For some reason, I wanted to stop using the tranquilizing incense for a while."

Some reasons...

Lin Yuan was very concerned, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at Li Shu's slightly furrowed brows because of discomfort and asked, "I know a little about massage. Would you like me to give you a massage, young lady?"

Li Shu glanced at him and wondered how he knew everything.

Then she gestured to Lin Yuan to get the cloak for him, and after standing up, she wrapped herself in the cloak and sat on the soft chair on the side.

The calluses on his fingers are very thick.

It reminded her of Ning Jin's hands, which also had thick calluses.

Even the care he took in massaging the area around her temple, fearing to hurt her, reminded her of how much Ning Jin cherished her in the past.

That cast a shadow over her heart.

Fortunately, Lin Yuan’s massage technique is very superb.

Her drowsiness and discomfort were dispelled in a short while.

She raised her hand to signal Lin Yuan that it was okay, and then she began to speak, "The reason I told you to try last night was because I found that there was indeed something strange about Xie Yu, and I wanted to confirm it. Therefore, your failure was indeed within my expectations."

Lin Yuan had already walked from behind Li Shu to her front.

After hearing this, he recalled the whole process of sneaking into the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and then said: "Last night, I sneaked into the main courtyard of the Zhenbei General's Mansion. When I went to the room where Xie Yu lived, Xie Yu looked quite energetic, but when I took out the silver needle, she fainted.

Then, the maidservant beside her started screaming, leading General Li and his sons to her room. She then seemed to have a fever, and Young Master Li San went to fetch the imperial physician that night, and took Young Master Li Si to stay by her bedside until dawn. During this time, his subordinates tried to knock Young Master Li San and Young Master Li Si down, but neither incense nor needles were successful..."

At this point, Lin Yuan's voice suddenly lowered. "I've tried many times. I suspected the incense was ineffective, and I also suspected my hidden weapon throwing skills were regressing. I just didn't expect Xie Yu to be so uncanny. Maybe he can not only sense danger, but also has some uncanny tricks to avoid it!"

At the end of his words, Lin Yuan's voice was filled with gritted teeth.

Li Shu couldn't help laughing.

She remembered his face full of doubt about life when she opened her eyes groggily.

Then she said, "So didn't I tell you that if you can't succeed, there's no need to try again?"

Lin Yuan choked.

He was too confident in his own skills and didn't take those words to heart at all.

Then he raised his hand to scratch his ears, which were a little hot, and muttered softly, "If I encounter something as bizarre as last night again, I will doubt my own skills even if I suspect I have encountered a ghost!"

"That's right."

"So, Miss, what are you going to do next?"

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. No matter what evil things are happening to Xie Yu, we will always have a chance to find out in the future. Let's put it aside for now. You haven't slept all night, so go back to bed."

"Yes."

After Lin Yuan responded and left, a moment later Nanny Gui brought Qinghong Cuiwei in.

After helping Li Shu change her clothes and wash up, Nanny Gui sent Qinghong Cuiwei out to get breakfast before asking, "Has Linyuan been here?"

Li Shu nodded. "I gave him some instructions last night, and he came to report back."

"He always comes and goes quietly in and out of the lady's room. Doesn't the lady mind at all that he sees her in her disheveled state?"

"..."

"Besides, it's winter now, but what if he sees something he shouldn't in summer when he's wearing thin clothes? Will you dig out his eyes or take him away to warm your bed?"

"What are you talking about, Madam? I'm not a man, how can I take someone in to warm my bed? Besides, Lin Yuan is not ignorant of the rules. He must know what he should and shouldn't see."

"But isn't the young lady going to divorce her husband sooner or later? She also said that she won't marry again after the divorce and wants to find a place to live a stable life. But the young lady is only twenty and has a long life ahead of her. How can she be alone like this until old age? She always needs someone by her side, right? This old servant thinks Lin Yuan is a good choice!"

"Mommy!"

"Okay, okay, if you don't like to hear it, I won't say it again!"

At this time, in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Xie Yu, who had pretended to be unconscious all night, immediately sat up after Li Shen and Li Xingxing left, and asked Liu Xin to bring the mirror to the bed.

Not only did she use the remaining 24-hour Turn Misfortune into Fortune card in the novice gift pack last night, she also used 5,000 points to buy a high-level Koi card!

The total points owed to the system have exceeded 100,000!
