"I don't understand what you're saying, but you can't kill her. If you do, I'll make you pay!"

The golden snake used its internal energy to force the wooden splinter in the numb acupoint.

Although this woman is not worthy of the young general, she is carrying his child.

"What you're saying is really scary, but I didn't intend to kill anyone! I was just asking a couple of questions!"

Seeing that she wasn't from the Guo family, Lin Shuyun lost interest, picked up the whip, and lashed Meng Yingying directly.

I've wanted to do this for a long time.

Meng Yingying cried out in pain and woke up instantly, scrambling out of bed.

"Ah, don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"Why are you so stubborn? You're the daughter of a county magistrate, after all. Even though I'm in a bad mood today, I'm still willing to do a good deed. I'll send you back to the Meng family right now." Lin Shuyun cracked her whip again.

However, she held back her strength, so at most she would only hurt Meng Yingying.

"Ah!" Meng Yingying ran to the window like a madwoman.

And just like that, all fresh and clean... she jumped in.

In her haste, Jin She stood up, but stumbled and fell to the ground again. She glared angrily at Lin Shuyun, "You actually killed her?! Did you know she was pregnant?! How could you be so vicious!"

Lin Shuyun: ...

"Are you blind? She jumped down herself!"

"My God, she's gone mad! She jumped straight from the second floor! Did you drug her to make her mentally unstable when she woke up?"

After Lin Shuyun finished speaking, she saw a medicine bottle on the table. She picked it up and smelled it. It was a sedative. This kind of medicine would cause mental confusion in a person who had just woken up.

Holding up the medicine bottle for the golden snake, he said, "See? I wasn't wrong, were I? You really did take the medicine! So isn't this your fault?"

Jin She's face turned ugly as she glared at Lin Shuyun, "You..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Shuyun interrupted her, "It's no use glaring at me like that. You saw it with your own eyes. It has nothing to do with me. But people at that height are definitely still alive, though those with broken arms or legs might not be. You might still be able to go down and save them if you go now."

Lin Shuyun shrugged.

A murderous glint flashed in Jin She's eyes as he took advantage of Lin Shuyun's momentary lapse in attention to touch the ring on her finger.

Just as she was about to shoot the poison needle, Jiang Changtian pushed open the door.

"Golden Serpent, stop!"

"Little...Little General?"

Jin She saw Jiang Changtian speak in disbelief.

The voice was very similar, but the face seemed unfamiliar to her.

Jiang Changtian heard a commotion downstairs and rushed upstairs. Unexpectedly, he heard Jin She's voice. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jin She trying to ambush Lin Shuyun.

He frowned and said, "It's me. How come you're with Meng Yingying? And why are you protecting her like this?"

The venom in the golden snake ring is deadly upon contact with blood, and there is no antidote. If he had arrived even a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After confirming that it was the young general, the wooden splinter in her acupoint was forced out. She excitedly spoke from the ground, "Young general, this woman killed your child."

"Holy crap, what did I just hear, you child!"

Lin Shuyun looked at Jiang Changtian with an exaggerated expression.

So this woman is one of Jiang Changtian's subordinates, huh? Tsk tsk.

Jiang Changtian was also startled. When he realized that the golden snake was referring to Meng Yingying, his expression turned rather unpleasant.

"You've misunderstood. She's not carrying my child, and it has nothing to do with me."

At this time, Meng Yingying downstairs had already been found and carried away. Jumping from this height would not have killed her, but there was a pool of blood on the ground.

"You reap what you sow, let's go."

Lin Shuyun glanced at him and then looked away, pulling Jiang Changtian away quickly, lest they be discovered and unable to leave.

"Young General, who is this woman?"

Jin She followed closely behind, watching Lin Shuyun reach out to take Jiang Changtian's hand, her eyes filled with utter shock.

She's mistaken her for someone else. This shameless woman is the young mistress that Qingfeng and the others are talking about.

"Golden Snake, I'll explain when we get back. I can no longer be called Little General. My name is Jiang Changtian."

Jiang Changtian gave a word of advice.

Jin She picked up the whip that Lin Shuyun had thrown down and quickly followed behind Jiang Changtian.

Just after the three left, two people came to the guest room, searched the place upstairs, and then left.

The innkeeper, who had been dozing off, had now woken up.

How come so many people have suddenly arrived in this small Wuyun County?

Could something big be about to happen?

……

……

After everyone returned from the market, it was already noon, and it was time for lunch.

Having eaten out most of the food, Lin Shuyun simply went into the kitchen and quickly made a mushroom soup. The mushrooms she used were from her spatial storage, making it exceptionally fresh.

During the meal, Lin Dahai said, "There are still many things to do at home, and we should go back early tomorrow morning. I'll leave Hongwen in your care, Changtian."

"I see that Dr. Zhang has some spare rooms, so why don't we rent a room there for Hongwen?"

Originally, Lin Hongwen was supposed to stay at Lin Shuyun's place, but seeing that he could also stay at Doctor Zhang's, Lin Dahai thought that this would reduce the trouble for his daughter and son-in-law.

Lin Shuyun said, "No need, there's already an empty room at home, no need to go to so much trouble."

Lin Hongwen is a diligent student and treats her well. Lin Shuyun quite likes this younger brother.

While they were talking, Lu Qiaoqiao served soup to everyone, the last one being Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing accepted it and thanked her, saying, "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome." Lu Qiaoqiao's hand trembled slightly, and she almost spilled it, but fortunately Xiaoqing caught it in time, preventing it from falling onto the table.

Lu Qiaoqiao hurriedly stood up and said in a flustered manner, "I'm so sorry, did I burn you?"

"It's nothing, thank you so much, sister-in-law." Xiaoqing shook her head.

Lu Qiaoqiao lowered her head and sat down again.

Everyone was concerned, and Qin Niangzi even teased Xiaoqing, saying that she was thick-skinned and it wouldn't matter if she got burned.

Xiaoqing glared angrily at Qin Niangzi.

"Qiaoqiao, are you feeling unwell?" Lin Hongzhi asked softly when he saw Lu Qiaoqiao with her head down.

Lu Qiaoqiao grabbed Lin Hongzhi's hand tightly, "Brother Hongzhi, I'm fine... it's just..."

Just as she saw Xiaoqing bring the soup to his lips, Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly stood up and knocked over his bowl.

"No, don't drink it!!"

The sudden noise startled everyone.

Madam Li hurriedly grabbed a rag and started wiping up the soup and water on the table. "Qiaoqiao, what happened to you?"

"me……"

Lu Qiaoqiao was pale and couldn't say a word.

Lin Hongzhi immediately realized what was happening and his expression changed drastically. "Qiaoqiao, did you put something in this bowl? How could you be so foolish!"

Madam Qin's expression changed instantly. "Why would you poison his bowl for no reason? Are you crazy?!"

Everyone stared at Lu Qiaoqiao in astonishment.

Lin Hongzhi, his lips trembling, explained how the wooden plaque had been found in the room.

Qiaoqiao suspects that Wuming is Xiaoqing, and that Xiaoqing killed her father.
