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

"Those assassins didn't have anything on them that could prove their identities or origins. I've already sent for the City Defense Battalion and the Dali Temple to conduct a detailed investigation. I've also arranged for someone to return to the palace to report this to my father. Let's get you back to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion first."

When Yin Hengze said this to Li Shu, Li Shu had already donated all the incense money.

She never carries money with her when she goes out.

I just donated 50,000 yuan from Lin Yuan’s New Year’s gift bag.

She planned to make up for it when she got back.

After all, she is the master, and Lin Yuan killed so many people for her, so she should pay the incense money.

As for Lin Yuan's New Year's gift, she didn't intend to accept it, but she wouldn't return it immediately either.

And let her keep it.

If she really falls in love with Lin Yuan in the future, that will be the betrothal money.

If not, I will wait for the right opportunity to return it to Lin Yuan...

Thinking of this, she heard Yin Hengze raise his voice slightly and call her "Xiao Shu'er". Then she said, "Thank you for your kindness, Second Prince, but the people around me are more than enough to protect me, so there is no need for you to see me off."

Yin Hengze subconsciously glanced at Lin Yuan again.

There was no way those assassins would just stand there and wait for him to slit their throats one by one.

But not only was he unharmed, there were not many traces of fighting on his body.

Xiao Shu'er and the maid who were present at the time also looked clean and had no signs of having fought with anyone.

That means that those assassins didn't even get close to Xiao Shuer and the maid before they were all killed by him alone!

Such amazing skills are even better than the best masters in the world described in those operas!

Seeing Yin Hengze remained silent, Li Jin took two steps forward and said, "Xiaoshu, you've already been attacked twice today. If there's a third, fourth, or even a fifth attack, even the most skilled secret guards around you might not be able to protect you. Let us take you back to the Marquis' Mansion."

Li Yan also took two steps forward and echoed, "Yes, little sister, one more person means more strength. At the critical moment..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Shu looked at him and said, "Second Young Master Li, have you forgotten that the five of you, father and son, have already signed a severance agreement with me?"

Li Yan's expression froze.

Li Shu looked at Li Jin again and said, "After signing the severance agreement, we are no longer brother and sister. I also ask that you, Master Li, please do not call me Xiao Shu or Xiao Mei anymore in the future. There is no need to rush around on my behalf. I will not appreciate it, I will not be moved, and I will not forgive you in the slightest."

Li Jin clenched his hands, not knowing what to say for a moment.

However, after Li Shu bowed to Yin Hengze, she said, "I'll go first," and led Lin Yuan Jingzhe away.

At this time, there were very few pilgrims left in Nanshan Temple.

Most of the monks in the temple also gathered and went elsewhere.

Yin Hengze watched Li Shu and her servant walk out of the temple before he frowned and muttered, "Common woman? Has Ning Jin already agreed to divorce Xiao Shu'er?"

Then he shook his head and said repeatedly: "Impossible, impossible!"

Not long ago, when Ning Jin and Li Shen were drunk, he kept saying that even if Xiao Shuer refused to forgive him for the rest of her life, Xiao Shuer could only be his wife, and he would tie Xiao Shuer to his side forever!

After hearing his muttering, Li Yan immediately looked at Li Jin.

My younger sister is so smart, I'm afraid she has already guessed that the emperor has handed the divorce letter to my father!

Then Yin Hengze gave his men a few instructions and pulled Li Jin and Li Yan to chase after them.

He followed Li Shu and her servant from a distance and sent them back to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

He also went to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion because he heard that Ning Jin had a headache.

After Li Shu returned to Zhuyuan, Nanny Gui and the others were frightened for a long time after hearing what happened in Nanshan Temple from Jingzhe.

After a long while, Nanny Gui finally recovered and said to Li Shu, "Young lady, please don't go out until you get the divorce papers. No matter what, the other party wouldn't dare to send a large number of troops to attack you at the Dingbei Marquis's residence!"

"Well, after I go to the palace the day after tomorrow, I won't be leaving the house. However, with two such high-profile attacks happening in quick succession, there won't be a third one anytime soon."

"I hope so. By the way, Miss, Ning Jin's headache has recurred today. Princess Xuanping couldn't summon the imperial physician, so she invited all the doctors of some repute in the capital to come to the Marquis's residence. I asked Guyu to inquire about it earlier, and it seems that those doctors are helpless."

"..."

Li Shu didn't care much.

After changing her clothes, she asked Aunt Gui to put away the New Year's money that Lin Yuan and her grandmother had given her.

After Nanny Gui led Qinghong Cuiwei out of Li Shu's room, Lin Yuan went to Li Shu's side and said, "There is something I haven't told you before. My life experience may be related to the imperial palace."

Li Shu blinked and blurted out, "Are you the emperor's wandering prince?"

Lin Yuan shook his head. "Sanniang has been secretly investigating my background, but to no avail. This time, she went out to seek medical treatment, and unexpectedly learned from the miracle doctor that the current emperor recognized my parents and said that I was an exact replica of my father."

The person the emperor recognized couldn't be just an ordinary person...

But considering Lin Yuan's appearance, if his father, who looked exactly like him, was a person in the capital, he must be well-known, so it should be easy to investigate...

While Li Shu was secretly pondering, she heard Lin Yuan say, "There are two more things. I have a feeling of familiarity with an abandoned palace in the palace, but I can't recall any specific memories related to it. Sanniang asked Lin Hu to pretend to be a subordinate and hang around in front of the emperor. The palace was burned down that night when the emperor discovered it."

Li Shu's face became serious.

The emperor's reaction clearly showed that he was an enemy rather than a friend to Lin Yuan's parents!

And they are definitely not ordinary enemies!

Lin Yuan was picked up by Kong Sanniang when he was three years old, and he felt familiar with a place in the palace, which obviously means that Lin Yuan lived in the palace before he was three years old!

After a moment, she asked, "You said before that Kong Sanniang was on her way back to Beijing. Do you know when she will arrive?"

"The letter I received two days ago stated that Sanniang's condition was recurring and her progress was very slow. She would probably arrive in Beijing after the Lantern Festival."

"That will be soon, but after what happened in Nanshan Temple today, the Emperor is most likely to know that you are close to me. From now on, unless necessary, please refrain from entering the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion."

"Ah."

"Give me some more of the medicine you made for Fei'er. I don't want to go into the palace for the time being. I'm afraid I'll get sick."

"Ah."

About half an hour later, Nanny Gui entered the main courtyard with red eyes. She knelt before Xu Daijun and began to cry. "Princess, our wife is ill. She has a very high fever and looks like she's dying. Xiaoxue and the others are somewhat knowledgeable in medicine, but the medicine they prescribed has no effect on our young lady. I heard that the princess has invited most of the doctors in the capital. Please spare one or two of them to come to Zhuyuan to see our wife."

fever?

Xu Daijun thought about the news that came out of the palace today, and then looked at Nanny Gui who rarely shed tears in front of others. Although he was reluctant, he still called two doctors to go to Zhuyuan with Nanny Gui.

At this time, Yin Hengze, Li Jin, Li Yan, and Li Shen and Li Xing, who had heard the news earlier and came to see Ning Jin, were all in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

When they heard that Li Shu was seriously ill, they all ran to Zhuyuan.

Because Li Shu had given instructions in advance, and Yin Hengze was with them, Jingzhe and the others did not stop them.
