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

Because of the name on it, either the person has a good relationship with her, or her master has a harmonious relationship with her!

Lin Yuan had been watching her reaction the entire time. Seeing the wrinkles between her brows so deep they looked like they could crush a mosquito, he quickly spoke again, "I've taken the initiative and arranged for someone to conduct an in-depth investigation into the people on the list. If you want to be more direct, I can also force them to tell the truth!"

Li Shu glanced at him, stood up, threw the list into the charcoal basin and burned it, then said, "Let's investigate a bit first without alerting the enemy. Maybe there's something hidden..."

For example, someone wanted to frame her to ruin her reputation and alienate her relationship with Ning Jin, her father and brother, and bribed those people in advance!

And that person is most likely Xie Yu!

In the dream, she had fought with Ning Jin and her brothers many times, and tried every possible way to prove her innocence. However, in the end, she couldn't even find out who Ning Jin had specifically questioned!

Even though she had used all the methods and connections she could...

Thinking of this, Li Shu stared at the red-hot charcoal in the charcoal basin in a daze.

In her dream, the first person she looked for to prove her innocence was Qi Fei!

But Concubine Qi said that the people in her palace were too busy that day, and after checking, they did not find anyone who witnessed her and Xie Yu falling into the water!

Then in her dream she went to beg the emperor again.

After all, considering how much importance the emperor attaches to Concubine Qi, he must have arranged secret guards for her.

However, after her repeated pestering, the emperor replied that he had already withdrawn the secret guards who were arranged around Concubine Qi, because Concubine Qi had very keen perceptions and did not like being secretly monitored at all times.

That is to say...

If someone really helped Ning Jin, that person might be Concubine Qi...

And if it was really Concubine Qi who helped Ning Jin, then Concubine Qi was very likely to be like Ning Jin's mother, treating her well on the surface, but secretly hating her for unknown reasons!

At this moment, Li Shu felt a chill in her heart, which instantly spread to her limbs and bones, reminding her of the bone-chilling cold and suffocating feeling when she fell into the water.

Among the people she knew, how many could she not trust and must be wary of?

And if she had not used the peacock earrings left to her by her mother to find Peacock Terrace and successfully obtained the full support of the people of Peacock Terrace, I am afraid that even if she knew the future through the dream, she might still encounter obstacles everywhere like her in the dream, and finally end up with a fate not much different from her in the dream, right?

Do not……

It should still be much different...

After all, in the dream, after she had hit a wall everywhere and felt completely hopeless, she not only put the matter of proving her innocence on hold when she knew she was pregnant, but she also never doubted Xie Yu from beginning to end. She even treated Xie Yu well because of the life-saving grace he had shown Ning Jin. At the same time, she had been trying every possible way to win back Ning Jin's heart and the trust and love of his father and brothers. But it was impossible for her to treat Xie Yu well again, and she didn't intend to keep Ning Jin and his father and brothers...

"Miss!"

The sudden loud shout interrupted Li Shu's thoughts. The next moment, she flew into the air and was carried away from the charcoal basin by Lin Yuan.

When Lin Yuan put her down and knelt down to hold her hands with both hands to examine them carefully, she was shocked to find some pain in her fingertips.

Then Lin Yuan fished out a bottle of something from his bosom and carefully applied it to her fingertips, saying, "I'm such a scoundrel! I didn't notice immediately that the young lady had put her hand into the charcoal basin, causing her fingers to get burned. Fortunately, it's not serious..."

It turned out that she reached her hand into the charcoal brazier while thinking!

Are you trying to dispel the chill rising from the bottom of your heart?

Li Shu blinked, and after the pain in her fingertips was dispelled by the refreshing coolness, she said, "It's not your fault. I was thinking too hard and lost my mind for a moment."

Lin Yuan looked up at her, but he didn't ask the question that was on the tip of his tongue, "Miss, what did you just think of?"

That wasn't his question.

Li Shu looked down at her burned fingertips and asked casually, "What did you put on me? It's really working. It doesn't hurt at all anymore."

"This is a cooling ointment I made myself. It can be used on bumps, bruises, and burns. Please keep it, young lady. Use it when the pain comes back."

"Ah."

Li Shu responded softly and took the things from his hand, then said, "You can leave as well."

Lin Yuan bowed in response and then slipped away.

But he did not leave Li Shu's room. Instead, he went around the screen and climbed onto the beam.

From then on, he kept staring at Li Shu without blinking.

After Li Shu put down the cooling ointment, she took out the pair of peacock earrings from the secret compartment of her makeup box.

After repeatedly stroking the peacock feathers on it for a long time, her heart gradually calmed down.

nothing!

At least her mother loves her!

Even though my mother has been gone for many years...

But it seemed that her mother had only made arrangements for her before she died!

That means that if my mother were still alive, she would definitely not stand on Xie Yu's side like my father and brothers did!

……

In the palace, at the plum blossom viewing banquet in Fengyi Palace, Yin Feier sat beside Queen Murong Hui, with a perfect smile on her face.

When her face was a little stiff from smiling and she was looking for an excuse to slip away and slack off, Murong Hui suddenly leaned towards her and asked in a low voice, "Fei'er, have you noticed that everyone at the banquet today is a little strange?"

Yin Feier shook her head subconsciously, then said, "Today, there seem to be a lot of people gathered together in groups of three or five, talking about something. This kind of thing never happened at the banquets hosted by my mother in the past."

"Then do you want to know what makes them so abnormal?"

"..."

Yin Feier's eyes lit up, "Could it be that the Queen Mother already knows?"

Murong Hui smiled and gave Lan Ruo a look beside her.

Lan Ruo went to Yin Feier's side and whispered, "I just listened in on a few conversations as ordered, and I discovered that the ladies were talking about things I had already heard on my way back to the palace today..."

"Oh? Aunt, please tell me quickly!" Yin Feier interrupted Lan Ruo impatiently.

"Today, for some reason, everyone in the capital is talking about the Prince of Dingbei and Miss Xie, who saved his life. They say that Prince Ning almost regards Miss Xie, his savior, as his ancestor. He gets so nervous whenever Miss Xie coughs that he acts like he's facing a formidable enemy! He'll pick her up if she walks unsteadily, even in front of Prince Ning's wife! They also say that when Miss Xie fell into the water in the palace, Prince Ning not only went to the East Palace that night to get her a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, but also took her to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion and cared for her by her bedside all night like a filial son. Later, he even moved in with her in the same courtyard just to make it easier for him to take care of her..."

Yin Feier already knew all this.

So she interrupted Lan Ruo again and asked, "After hearing what happened at the banquet today, what did the people say about Ning Jin and Xie Yu?"
