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

Lin Yuan did return to Peacock Terrace.

Indeed, as soon as he returned, he immersed himself in preparing the calming incense for Li Shu again.

But he couldn't concentrate at all, and from time to time he would recall the feeling of smoothing out the wrinkles between Li Shu's eyebrows!

He had clearly done it subconsciously at the time, with no thought or feeling other than wanting to smooth out the wrinkles between her brows. But after returning, he could vividly recall the soft, smooth feel of her brows, stained with a thin layer of sweat...

Tsk!

He really deserves to die!

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and cursed himself, and slapped himself hard.

I wanted to fan out the memories that shouldn't be kept from his confused mind.

Who would have thought that as soon as he slapped himself, someone fell from the beam above his head.

The loud "bang" sound shocked him so much that for a moment he wanted to kill the other person to silence him and then destroy the body.

But after the other party fell heavily to the ground, he didn't even cry out in pain. He just maintained the posture he was in when he landed and stared at him with a shocked expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

He gritted his teeth and asked expressionlessly, "Lin'an, why are you hiding on my beam in the middle of the night? Could it be... Sanniang asked you to spy on me?"

After asking this question, he felt even more eager to kill the person and destroy the body.

Because he didn't want Sanniang to know what he had done to the young lady from the bottom of his heart!

Lin An was frightened by the strong murderous aura that he instantly released. He finally came to his senses and cried out in pain, but soon he knelt down in front of Lin Yuan like a well-behaved wife and said, "Boss! I wasn't hiding on your beam. I was waiting for you to come back on your beam. As a result, I accidentally fell asleep! Then I suddenly woke up just now, and when I looked down, I saw you slapping yourself. I was so scared that I thought I was having a nightmare, and then, I... fell down..."

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, and the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger.

Even though it was impossible for him to kill his own people.

Even though Lin An knew that very well, he was still frightened and knelt even straighter, his face flushed with anxiety. "Boss, believe me! I really did wait for you on the beam until I fell asleep! And you, Boss, are the person Sanniang trusts the most! How could Sanniang let someone monitor you? And the reason I stayed on the beam waiting for you is because I failed the last test to conceal my aura. Lately, I've been spending most of my free time on the beams in everyone's houses... But don't worry, Boss, this is the first time I've stayed in your room..."

"Tsk! What are you waiting for me to do?" Lin Yuan finally gave up his murderous intent and only then did he feel a burning pain on his face.

"Boss, didn't you ask me to follow my uncle? Tonight, he went to interrogate those who witnessed the young lady and Xie Yu falling into the water!"

"Oh?"

Did the son-in-law finally realize that the young lady was different this time than when she had a temper tantrum with him in the past, and finally began to reflect on whether he had wronged the young lady?

Lin Yuan pondered this for a moment, and Lin An continued, "But the son-in-law has repeatedly interrogated those people with a murderous aura, and they still insist that it was the young lady who pushed Xie Yu into the water. Some of them even swore an oath, saying that they were absolutely not mistaken and that they absolutely did not lie to wrongly accuse the young lady..."

At this point, Lin An fell silent and moved closer to Lin Yuan. He lowered his voice and asked, "Boss, should we arrest someone and interrogate them severely? Although they didn't change their story under the pressure of the brother-in-law, our young lady would never do such a thing. Maybe they would only tell the truth when it came to life and death!"

Lin Yuan frowned and didn't speak immediately.

They all believed that the young lady would never do such a thing.

But the son-in-law doesn't believe the young lady!

He is not worthy of being the young lady's husband!

No wonder the young lady doesn’t want the twins in her belly!

"Boss?"

"Those people are either rich or noble, or have a rich or noble master. If you want to capture them and torture them, you need to get your consent, otherwise it will cause trouble for you."

"Then Boss, remember to ask her next time you go to the young lady."

"Well, did you get any clues after investigating those people?"

"not yet."

"Then you can get out."

"..."

Lin An knelt still, looking up at Lin Yuan for a long moment before mustering the courage to ask, "Boss, why did you slap yourself just now... Ah! Boss, I was wrong! I'm leaving now!"

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, and after Lin An disappeared, he stood up and pulled out a few silver needles from the ground.

If his silver needles hadn't been smeared with poison, he would have pricked that guy into a hedgehog!

……

Dingbeihou Mansion.

When Nanny Gui woke Li Shu up, it was almost the hour of Si.

Thanks to Lin Yuan's calming incense, she woke up feeling refreshed, no longer groggy and exhausted like she had been in the past two days, no matter when she woke up.

But her face still looked very bad.

So, as Madam Gui helped her to her feet, she lowered her voice and asked, "Young lady, if you haven't slept enough, why don't you sleep a little longer? This old servant sent the Empress Qi's people away on the pretext that Young lady was unwell and unable to get up."

"No, I slept well last night, it's just..."

It was just another dream that was as horrible as hell.

Li Shu didn't say that because she didn't want Aunt Gui to worry too much.

Aunt Gui noticed that she was hiding something, but she didn't ask any more questions.

After Qinghong Cuiwei and others helped Li Shu wash and change her clothes, Nanny Gui went out and invited the group of people waiting outside in.

There are eight people in total.

Except for the leader, the other seven people were holding a tray in their hands.

The person in charge was Fuyun, the aunt in charge of Concubine Qi.

She walked up to Li Shu with a smile, bowed to her, and said, "Our queen heard that the Crown Prince's wife fell ill due to the drowning that day, so she specially ordered this servant to bring some nourishing supplements to the Crown Prince's wife."

Li Shu glanced at the seven people behind her before saying, "Aunt, please thank the Concubine Qi on my behalf. When I am well again, I will go to the palace to express my gratitude in person."

"Yes, but our queen treats the Crown Prince's wife as her own sister. There's no need for her to be so distant with our queen." Fu Yun said, and then gestured for the seven people to hand the things over to Li Shu's men. Then she said, "I see that the Crown Prince's wife still looks unwell, so I won't bother her any longer and will take my leave now."

"Well, take care, auntie."

After Li Shu finished speaking, she watched Fu Yun and his group leave, then called out to Qing Hong Cui Wei, who was about to lead the group to put the items away, "Check before putting them away."

Qinghong and Cuiwei were both slightly stunned.

In the past, Madam had never let them check the things that Concubine Qi sent.

But they didn't ask too many questions. After going out, they checked everything very carefully.

Then Qinghong returned to Li Shu and reported, "There is no problem at all."

Li Shu nodded and made some mental preparation before she began to recall the dream she had last night.

It was not until Aunt Gui brought her food that she came out of her dream and said to Qinghong, "Tell Jingzhe to go get Linyuan."

"Yes."

After Qinghong left, Li Shu said to Aunt Gui, "Prepare some ink and paint for me. I want to paint later."

Aunt Gui was a little puzzled.

Ever since half a year ago when the son-in-law criticized their young lady's paintings to the point of being worthless in order to praise Xie Yu's paintings, the young lady has not painted since then.

Why do I suddenly feel like painting today?

But she didn't ask any more questions. After serving Li Shu her meal, she immediately went to prepare paint and ink for Li Shu.

Because she wanted to know what Li Shu suddenly wanted to draw, she stayed by her side while Li Shu was drawing.

Then when Li Shu was halfway through painting, she lost her composure.

It looked like a woman lying in a pool of blood...

Although the overall painting is rough and simple, the lady's painting skills are excellent. Even though she focuses on the woman's face, it can be seen at a glance that she is dead.

Because there was no trace of life on that beautiful face.

After staring at the face for a few moments, she suddenly widened her eyes and cried out, "Miss! Is this Kong Sanniang you drew?"

Li Shu paused with her pen, turned to glance at Aunt Gui, then returned to the drawing paper, staring at the face she had just drawn and muttering softly, "Is it really Kong Sanniang?"

At this moment, Lin Yuan's voice sounded behind her.
