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

"I can do it tonight."

"..."

Li Shu nodded after thinking for a moment, then turned to look at the bottles and jars on the dressing table on the side.

That was what Kong Sanniang brought a few days ago after she learned that she attached great importance to maintaining her appearance.

It is said that this is a skin care product made according to the recipe left by her mother.

Whether in texture, fragrance, or effect, it is far better than what she used before.

Especially that lip balm.

Use it before going to bed at night, and your lips will be soft and smooth when you wake up the next morning.

Then she hooked her finger at Lin Yuan, and whispered a few words to him after Lin Yuan bent down and whispered to her.

After hearing this, Lin Yuan's ears turned red and he took a few steps back before saying, "I'll go find Sanniang right away."

When Lin Yuan rushed out of her room like the wind, Li Shu couldn't help but smile.

The next moment, Aunt Gui's voice rang out, "Didn't Lin Yuan just come back? Why did he leave in such a hurry again?"

After saying that, Nanny Gui walked into the inner room carrying a small plate of freshly washed strawberries. Seeing the smile on Li Shu's face, she blurted out, "Could it be that the young lady teased Lin Yuan again, which is why Lin Yuan left in such a hurry?"

"No."

"..."

Aunt Gui didn't believe it at all.

If that weren't the case, why would the lady be laughing so happily?

Facing the obvious suspicion on her face, Li Shu stopped smiling and said with a hint of jealousy, "Mammy, you've changed. Your elbow has completely turned towards Lin Yuan."

Nanny Gui laughed when she heard this, "Young lady will always be the first in this old slave's heart, and I dare to guarantee that Young lady is also the first in Lin Yuan's heart!"

Li Shu pursed her lips without comment, then reached out and took a strawberry from the plate in Aunt Gui's hand and ate it.

Aunt Gui couldn't remember the last time she saw her young lady do something so playful and cute, and she was overwhelmed with emotions.

After Li Shu had eaten three strawberries in a row, she said, "These strawberries were sent over this afternoon by Sanniang. They also brought cherries, loquats, pineapples, blueberries, and so many other varieties. I can't remember all of them. They're said to be grown in the farm in their building, using the seeds and planting methods that Madam left behind. They taste far better than those grown by others. You can use them to treat Princess Feiyun and the Crown Princess tomorrow."

Li Shu nodded. "These strawberries are indeed delicious. Ma'am, you can try some too. If there are a lot, ask Qinghong Cuiwei to give them to everyone else to try."

"Yes."

Nanny Gui put down the plate and was about to leave, but then she heard Li Shu say, "I was too naive to think Xie Yu would say something useful to me before he died!"

Compared to before, her voice was much deeper.

It can be seen that although she did not reveal it at all, she had already reflected on it secretly.

For this reason, Aunt Gui softened her voice and said, "Young lady is simply too kindhearted. She believes that everyone has a good side, and therefore underestimates the extent of the evil of the wicked."

Li Shu sighed secretly and said nothing more.

Then, after Nanny Gui left, she leaned back, closed her eyes, and recalled Xie Yu's appearance.

That face...

Both the face itself and the facial features are extremely eye-catching.

A fat face that is almost two or three times bigger than hers.

It was as if it had been roasted in a high temperature of 50 or 60 degrees for several hours with a thick, oily sheen.

Acne so dense that it gives goose bumps all over the body.

A mouth that is too fat and looks a little funny.

Large, flat nose.

Eyes that are almost entirely white.

And eyebrows so thick that it's hard to even begin trimming them.

Add to that the distortion created by the interweaving of extreme anger and the fear of death.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the ugliest and most terrifying face in the world.

But Xie Yu has a family of both talented and beautiful people. It is only natural that he would be extremely eager to change his appearance due to excessive inferiority complex.

But that cannot be a reason for her to hurt others at any cost!

That night, Li Shu saw her dying self in her dream again after a long time.

But she was at peace.

Because she was sure that she would not fall to that point.

The next day.

Just after the hour of Si, Yin Feier and Murong Yunchu arrived at Li Shu's residence one after another.

Just as they and Li Shu arrived at the small garden filled with the fragrance of flowers and sat down, someone came hurriedly to report that the Grand Princess had arrived.

They hurried forward to greet them.

Yin Wanyu smiled and said, "I passed by Yixiang Pavilion yesterday and on a whim, I went in to take a look. I heard from their shopkeeper that the best pot of chrysanthemums they cultivated last year was given to your mansion, A-li. So I came here today to see that pot of chrysanthemums, which is worth hundreds of taels of silver. I didn't expect to see Fei'er and the Crown Princess' sedan chair in front of your mansion."

"I invited them to come over today to admire the pot of chrysanthemums, and also to have them judge for me which of the candidates chosen by the Empress is the most suitable for me."

"..."

Yin Wanyu raised her eyebrows with interest.

Could it be that someone in the capital is hiding a young master whose appearance surpasses that of the secret guard beside Ali, and he was dug out by the fake queen?

For this reason, after sitting down in the garden, Yin Wanyu didn't even bother to appreciate the chrysanthemums, and directly urged Li Shu to take out the portraits for them to see.

After watching it, she lost interest instantly.

All these ugly creatures are not even as good as a finger of that little secret guard.

Ah Li asked the Crown Princess and Fei'er to come and give her an appraisal. There must be something hidden in these portraits...

Thinking of this, Yin Wanyu looked at the portraits again.

Murong Yunchu and Yin Feier also followed her and watched it again.

After she was sure that she could not make out any features, the two of them looked at the portraits over and over again.

Just when she couldn't help but want to ask if they really thought Ali would choose her next husband from among these people, Yin Fei'er grabbed a few portraits, looked at Li Shu with great excitement and asked, "Sister Ali! The Queen Mother choosing a husband for you is fake, and the real reason is that she used these portraits to tell you that she has returned, in the name of choosing a husband, right?"

Yin Wanyu was slightly shocked and quickly looked at Li Shu.

But Li Shu finally nodded after looking back and forth at Yin Feier and Murong Yunchu for a while.

As she nodded, she reached out and covered Yin Fei'er's mouth, who was about to burst into tears. "I invited you here today because I didn't want to tell you until you saw the clues. The situation is very serious. Any mistake could bring disaster to the Empress. So Fei'er, you have to hold back. Whether in my house or elsewhere, you must behave as usual."

When she finished speaking, Yin Feier was already in tears.

Even Murong Yunchu's eyes were red.

But Yin Feier didn't cry out loud in the end.

She covered her mouth and asked in a low voice, "Since I was so loud just now, could I have been..."

"No, I anticipated your reaction once you discovered the clues. That's why the people around this garden are all people I absolutely trust. And the people in my house are mostly trustworthy as well. But it's better to be safe than sorry."

"Yeah! As expected of Sister Ali!"

After Yin Feier finished speaking, she threw herself into Li Shu's arms, buried her face in her arms, and cried silently, wetting Li Shu's clothes.

When she finally calmed down, Li Shu immediately asked someone to bring a hot towel to put on her eyes.

After that, she asked Cuiwei to touch up her makeup.

Afterwards, Murong Yunchu drank some juice and said to Li Shu, "In the past two days, people who came to the capital to see Fei'er off have arrived one after another. The Crown Prince plans to throw out evidence of Prince Heng'an's crimes on the same day he sends Fei'er out of the capital and apprehend all of Prince Heng'an's followers."

Li Shu didn't say anything, but just silently calculated how much time was left.

Murong Yunchu continued, "When I left the Eastern Palace today, I ran into Li Yan. He seemed to want to see the Crown Prince for something, but the Crown Prince didn't let him in immediately."

Li Yan...

Li Shu thought of how Li Yan followed them all the way to the narrow alley where Xie Yu was yesterday.

But when they came out of the narrow alley, Li Yan was no longer around.

He had been monitoring Xie Yu for so many days before, and he would not be like her, thinking that a dying person would speak kindly. He thought that maybe he could get something out of Xie Yu in the end?

So what did he want to do by asking to see the prince today?
