Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

He rose to fame overnight, only to be murdered in a single day!

The news caused a sensation, sending shockwaves through Kyoto.

Last night, Li Lan's poem "Spring River Flower Moon Night" shook the entire Taiping Street and made him famous in the brothel world. Even the high-ranking officials and nobles who frequented the brothels knew of Li Lan's name. In particular, he defeated the renowned young poet Xu Ruyu and gained the approval of Hanlin Academician Gu Qinghong.

You could say he became famous overnight!

Who could have imagined that he would be murdered just the next day?

In an instant, all the police officers in Kyoto were mobilized to search for Gu Changfeng's whereabouts, creating an atmosphere of great unease.

……

Lin House.

"what happened!"

When Lin Zheng saw Li Lan being sent back to the Lin residence, his face suddenly darkened.

He quickly checked and found that Li Lan was pale, seriously injured, and unconscious.

"General Lin, Zuiyuelou will give you an explanation for this matter. Gu Changfeng dared to commit violence on our territory, he will not escape!"

The Snow Moon Fairy personally escorted Li Lan back. She was still wearing a veil, and her eyes were very solemn. However, today she had changed into a proper dress. The extremely alluring charm of last night had disappeared. Instead, she looked like a noble lady from a wealthy family or the matriarch of a powerful clan, dignified, composed, and calm.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Lin Zheng looked at her and asked a question.

"Drunken Moon Pavilion, Snow and Moon".

Fairy Xueyue said, "By the way, there is one more thing I need to tell the general. Young Master Li Lan is of noble character. Last night, he only drank bitter wine in my boudoir and did not tarnish the reputation of the general's mansion. The general will know this as soon as he investigates."

"I still need to investigate Gu Changfeng's whereabouts, so I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, she turned and left with her entourage.

"Wait a minute, there are still many details to be explained by the young lady!"

Tie Poshan had already made a move to stop Xueyue Fairy, but Xueyue Fairy simply waved her hand, and Tie Poshan's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly used his inner energy to block her, but after a moment of hesitation, Xueyue Fairy had already drifted away.

"A true master!"

Tie Poshan frowned, then said, "General, I am incompetent."

Lin Zheng shook his head and said, "Don't worry about her, save people first."

He led Li Lan into the room, closed the door, and used his own power to heal Li Lan's injuries!

He spent a whole day and night healing before finally pushing open the door and coming out.

"father,"

Lin Ruobing waited outside the door. At this moment, she had put away her fierce and willful spirit and become dignified and composed. She calmly said, "Li Lan is seeking pleasure with prostitutes and is courting death. Why waste your energy? Just find some famous doctors to treat him."

In her view, Li Lan was simply reaping what she sowed.

Originally, when Yue Ran spoke with such certainty that Li Lan might have learned the Nine Turns Cotton Palm, she was indeed somewhat surprised and doubtful, but now it seemed impossible.

If Li Lan had truly mastered the Nine Revolutions Cotton Palm, he would never have been beaten like this by Gu Changfeng!

But Lin Zheng glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "Li Lan going to the brothel was my arrangement!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruobing was stunned for a moment. What?

Even Yue Ran, who was standing next to him, was somewhat bewildered.

"He went to the brothel to find out who was targeting the Lin family!"

A look of heartache flashed in Lin Zheng's eyes: "On the day of the wedding, he did Zhao Tanyue a great favor, and from then on he became a thorn in the side of others. As long as he leaves the Lin residence, someone will definitely try to harm him. Knowing this, he still went to Zuiyue Tower, just to lure people into attacking him!"

Lin Ruobing gritted her teeth and said softly, "Even so, he shouldn't have been with that Snow Moon Fairy..."

Lin Zheng shouted, "Shut up!"

"The Snow Moon Fairy's martial arts skills should already be at the top-tier level. Would such a master use her beauty to please someone? She has already said that Li Lan drank bitter wine alone in her boudoir all night! I have checked, and Li Lan has not lost his virginity recently. This matter cannot be false!"

Lin Ruobing and Yue Ran were both stunned.

Li Lan went to the brothel, actually risking his life for the sake of the Lin family?

Moreover, faced with a peerless beauty like Fairy Snow Moon, he was actually unmoved, only drinking bitter wine all night?!

For a moment, Yue Ran was deeply shocked. She had witnessed the events of the previous night, and now all the details suddenly flooded her mind...

original……

He went to brothels not because he was lustful!

Have I been misunderstanding him all along?

On their wedding night, he protected the Lin family, risking his life to go to the lion's den. He was clearly talented and had been bearing a lot on his own, but he never explained himself until now... when his life was in danger!

Yue Ran's heart felt as if it had been repeatedly and violently beaten!

Her eyes inexplicably welled up with tears, and she felt extremely guilty!

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

She was responsible for protecting Li Lan, but what about last night?

When Li Lan needed her most, she left in a fit of anger.

She couldn't imagine how bitter Li Lan must have been when he was drinking alone in the Snow Moon Fairy's boudoir.

Yue Ran stared at the door, her heart clenching with anxiety. She instinctively clenched her fists, desperately hoping that Li Lan would recover!

Even Lin Ruobing had a strange, complicated look in her beautiful eyes as she looked around the room, her thoughts unreadable...

Lin Zheng looked at his daughter with a complex expression, seemingly filled with guilt and pain, but he still said, "Father knows you have a prejudice against Li Lan, but Li Lan has indeed done her best for the Lin family, and there is nothing wrong with that!"

"I don't expect you to truly love him, but... you should still treat him better."

Lin Zheng sighed and then left.

……

now.

Somewhere in Kyoto.

"You actually killed Li Lan?"

Mr. Zhu looked at Gu Changfeng kneeling in front of him, his face full of surprise.

He truly did not expect that Gu Changfeng would be able to launch a counterattack and kill Li Lan, even though his original plan and scheme at Zuiyue Tower had failed.

"What's going on!"

But Mr. Zhu was not overwhelmed by the good news. Instead, he stared calmly at Gu Changfeng, his cold gaze sending chills down one's spine.

Gu Changfeng lowered his head and said, "After being defeated by Yue Ran, I felt that I had failed in my duties and had let down Mr. Zhu's high expectations. I was doomed to die, so I lingered at Zuiyue Tower."

"Unexpectedly, Yue Ran, Lin Ruoshi, and the others actually left Li Lan."

"I knocked out a servant at Zuiyue Tower, disguised myself as him, and served him the 'Resurrection Soup' the next day when Li Lan came out of his room, taking the opportunity to make my move."

"I didn't expect... it would succeed."

After saying that, he raised his eyes, his gaze filled with flattery and obsequiousness: "Sir, the poison in my body..."

"Alright, since you have performed such a great service, I will naturally keep my promise and help you detoxify."

Mr. Zhu smiled, then placed his hand on Gu Changfeng's throat, probing for a long time before nodding in satisfaction.

The poison was still in Gu Changfeng's body.

Gu Changfeng's successful attack on Li Lan surprised him greatly, and he felt it was a bit too easy. However, as long as Gu Changfeng's poison was not cured, he would definitely not dare to harbor any disloyalty towards him!

He thought for a moment and realized that Gu Changfeng was now exposed and there was no point in keeping him around...

But then he suddenly remembered something and said, "Gu Changfeng, I have an immense fortune to give you. Would you be willing to accept it?"

Gu Changfeng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "This humble one only asks for an antidote, I dare not hope for anything more..."

"What is there to be afraid of? If you kill Li Lan, there will be nowhere for you to hide in the capital. The General's Mansion, Zuiyue Tower, and even the imperial court will hunt you down to the ends of the earth. But if you succeed in this, no one will be able to make things difficult for you. You will no longer have to hide, and you will be able to enjoy wealth and honor without end!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng immediately recalled Li Lan's words, and was extremely surprised, while at the same time, a chill ran down his spine.

Because... Li Lan actually guessed correctly!

Mr. Zhu was already quite intelligent, but his actions and thoughts were all exactly what Li Lan had predicted!

Li Lan is a truly extraordinary person!

He feigned hesitation, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Please give your instructions, sir. I am willing to go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

Mr. Zhu smiled, reached out and helped Gu Changfeng up, saying:

"You'll have to do a lot of work, going to jail for a while..."
