Lin Shuyun, arm in arm with Daohua, walked towards Meng Yingying. Before she could say a word, Meng Yingying was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

"Please, don't kill me!"

Lin Shuyun: ...

Does she look that fierce?

However, to solidify this persona, Lin Shuyun gave a wicked smile and deliberately asked, "You're from the Wang family? Why didn't you leave earlier? Did you want to stay and wait to die?"

"No, no, I... I was brought here by him. I am the daughter of the magistrate of Wuyun County," Meng Yingying stammered, crying.

Lin Shuyun stroked her chin. "The magistrate's daughter, do you also want to find that book? Or is it your father who wants to find it?"

Could it be that Magistrate Meng also has his own ideas?

"What book? I don't know anything about it. I was brought here by Young Master Wang. I just want him to do me a favor, ugh~"

Meng Yingying looked at the blood and a severed finger on the ground and felt nauseous, so she vomited.

Lin Shuyun took two steps back, covered her nose, and asked, "What kind of help?"

Meng Yingying broke down and cried out, "Jiang Changtian betrayed me and harmed me! I want his wife to get pregnant with his bastard child so he can be the father of the child in my belly! I hate him!"

Lin Shuyun: ...

Well, she looks so gentle and weak and cries easily, but I never expected her to be so ruthless. And to make matters worse, she actually dared to say it out loud.

"I don't know anything about the vast sky and the earth. Since you're that bastard's woman, you're birds of a feather. Leave your finger behind and get lost!"

As soon as Lin Shuyun finished speaking, she raised her knife and cut off a section of Meng Yingying's little finger as a warning.

If she hadn't been able to protect herself today, she and Jiang Changtian would be the next ones to suffer after her older brother and sister-in-law.

If it weren't for the fact that Meng Yingying was pregnant, today would be her death day.

"what!"

Meng Yingying screamed and fainted immediately.

Then, Lin Shuyun's gaze fell on Lin Hongzhi.

"Now that you've gotten what you wanted, let us go. We know nothing." Lin Hongzhi looked at the dark-faced boy and saw "him" walking towards Lu Qiaoqiao with a dagger, and shouted excitedly.

"Take your anger out on me, don't touch her!"

Lin Shuyun: Tsk, she just wanted to cut the rope for her sister-in-law.

"Kid, I'll spare your lives since you're a tough guy!" Lin Shuyun simply cut the ropes binding Lin Hongzhi and quickly left.

Lin Hongzhi immediately untied the ropes binding Lu Qiaoqiao. "Qiaoqiao, the bad guys are gone, let's go quickly!"

Lu Qiaoqiao was still reeling from the shock of her father's murder and followed Lin Hongzhi in a daze.

……

……

Lin Shuyun changed her clothes outside and then followed Lin Hongzhi and Lu Qiaoqiao.

Seeing that Jiang Changtian had met her halfway and brought her home, she slowly walked home.

As soon as I entered, I saw a group of people sitting in the courtyard. Dr. Zhang, the neighbor across the street, was applying medicine to the wound on her older brother's back.

"Yunyun, you're back. You must be exhausted. Go wash your hands and eat."

Qin Niangzi had already prepared the meal and called out to Lin Shuyun.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, you're back?!"

Lin Shuyun looked excited. "I went to find someone to rescue my older brother and sister-in-law, but unfortunately I couldn't find them. How did you get back?!"

"Big brother, you're injured! What happened?!"

Jiang Changtian remained silent, just watching her ask the question she already knew the answer to.

Lin Hongzhi smiled at Lin Shuyun despite the pain, "It's just a superficial injury, nothing serious."

"Brother, Hongwen said you were taken away. How did you get back?" Lin Shuyun asked Lin Hongzhi.

"We were saved by an unknown hero by accident," Lin Hongzhi said, and Lu Qiaoqiao burst into tears.

"What kind of hero is he? He's clearly a ruthless murderer who killed my father without blinking an eye, and you still call him a hero!"

Lu Qiaoqiao couldn't hold back her emotions any longer and cried her heart out.

Lin Shuyun's lips twitched involuntarily, and she pretended to be very anxious. "Sister-in-law, don't cry. Let me hear what happened."

Lu Qiaoqiao was crying so hard she couldn't speak; it was Lin Hongzhi who spoke.

Lin Shuyun felt sorry for herself. She had only meant to stop the Wang family from causing trouble for Lu the carpenter and her elder brother and sister-in-law, but she never expected that her plan would backfire.

Seeing that Lu Qiaoqiao was still crying no matter how he tried to comfort her, he suddenly slammed his hand on the table and said, "You believe him just because he said he's alive? He said your mother is still alive, so you believe her?"

Lu Qiaoqiao's eyes widened in surprise, and she instinctively replied, "My mother has been dead for more than ten years, how could she still be alive?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Lin Shuyun immediately softened her tone, "That's settled then. Unless you see it with your own eyes, don't easily believe what others say. Uncle Lu is definitely still alive."

Logic is perfect.

Xiaoqing pondered for a moment and then said, "Yes, my sister is right. According to my guess, your father is no ordinary person. He has something that the powerful and wealthy are eager to possess. Since he suddenly left, he must have sensed the danger and didn't want to implicate you."

"Think about how long he's been gone before anyone came looking for him. It's clear he had a plan in mind and wouldn't have died so easily."

After hearing that, Lu Qiaoqiao stopped crying.

Somewhat bewildered, he said, "I heard that person was looking for some kind of Lu Ban secret technique, but my father is clearly just an ordinary carpenter. How could he have such a thing?"

Upon hearing the words "Lu Ban's Secret Techniques," Xiao Qing, Qin Niangzi, Doctor Zhang, and the others' expressions changed.

Old Xu snorted, "Why say so much? Your father is definitely fine. Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold."

"Yes, hurry up and eat. I cooked all these dishes." Qin Niangzi smiled.

Dr. Zhang's medical skills were superb; Lin Hongzhi's injury was nothing to him.

Looking at this table full of food, I feel incredibly sad.

Waaah! How can the noble and precious Empress do such menial work? He wants to send the boy to a restaurant to learn cooking skills so that he can cook for the Empress once he has learned.

At that moment, Gui Tong, who was drying medicinal herbs in the courtyard diagonally opposite, sneezed violently several times.

Look up at the sky.

"This is really strange. The weather hasn't changed, so why do I feel a chill down my back?"

……

……

at the same time.

A man with a bewitching appearance and an icy demeanor walked into the inn.

"Shopkeeper, I'd like a quiet room."

"Sir, just turn left upstairs! It'll be very quiet, no one outside can hear you even if you shout!" The innkeeper took out the room number, yawned listlessly while working on his abacus.

The man took the room key and went upstairs.

The waiter came out from behind carrying a basin of water and said in a low voice, "Manager, that young master stayed in that room before, and it hasn't been cleaned yet."

"It's fine as long as they've left. They didn't stay there, so it's fine if it wasn't cleaned. Our rooms are so cheap, don't be so picky!" The innkeeper said and then went to sleep.

The flamboyant-looking man went upstairs, opened the door, and immediately frowned.
