"absurd!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin's phoenix eyes were filled with rage, and she slammed her hand on the table.
"He doesn't even know martial arts, how could he possibly be the nameless person you're talking about! Are you going to poison someone based on this mere guess?!"
The culprit, Lin Shuyun, was startled and quickly tried to cover it up, "Could it be that a thief broke into the house? Did that nameless guy come in and steal something, so he left the wooden sign behind? Check if anything is missing!"
She wore the wooden sign to show off, but forgot where she lost it. She never expected that Lu Qiaoqiao would misunderstand her.
Lu Qiaoqiao covered her face and cried, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I thought you were Wuming."
"You deliberately poisoned his bowl, what else could it be but intentional? Why can't you just say what you mean in front of us! We're not even sure if your father is dead or not, aren't you afraid of killing the wrong person and having sleepless nights?"
After saying that, Qin Niangzi saw Xiaoqing looking at her, stiffened for a moment, pursed her lips and stood up, saying, "I'm sorry, what I said was a bit too serious. The main thing is that my mother is afraid that one day she will misunderstand me and poison me without saying a word."
After saying this, Madam Qin went back to her room and closed the door.
Only Lu Qiaoqiao's sobs could be heard at the scene.
Just as Lin Hongzhi was about to kneel down and apologize to Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing grabbed his arm.
Xiaoqing looked at Lu Qiaoqiao and said, "Forget it, since you didn't really want to kill me, I won't hold it against you. Considering we're relatives, let's at least get to the bottom of things before we talk."
"sorry Sorry……"
When Lu Qiaoqiao heard that Xiaoqing didn't blame her, her conscience bothered her, and she cried even louder.
Lin Hongzhi pulled the person into the house, and Lin Shuyun followed.
"Sister-in-law, don't cry. Uncle Lu will definitely be fine. That so-called nameless guy is a fraud. Think about it, if he really killed someone, why would he let you and my brother go?"
Lin Shuyun felt that since she was the one who brought this up, she needed to comfort Lu Qiaoqiao, otherwise, at this rate of crying, she would break herself.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qiaoqiao paused for a moment. Seeing this, Lin Shuyun quickly took out a book from her bosom. "By the way, when I went there last time, Uncle Lu gave me a book."
"Is this what those people are looking for?"
After Lu Qiaoqiao took the book from Lin Shuyun, her expression changed and she immediately closed it.
With red eyes, she anxiously instructed, "So this is what those people were looking for. Sister, you must hide this book well, or it might bring you to your death."
Lu Qiaoqiao had seen this before. Her father forbade her from doing carpentry work since she was a child, saying that women shouldn't learn this. But Lu Qiaoqiao had secretly learned it long ago, and she could recite the contents of it by heart.
I initially thought they were just some small gadgets, but I was wrong...
"These are your father's things. Don't you want them back?" Lin Shuyun asked Lu Qiaoqiao.
Lu Qiaoqiao shook her head. "Since my father has already given it to you, it is yours. What you said before was right. My father probably sensed danger, which is why he left us. In that case, I shouldn't let my father's good intentions go to waste."
She was being stubborn; her father should be alive.
"It's good that you can understand. Brother Xiaoqing and Madam Qinqin aren't petty people. Just apologize to them properly, and they won't be angry anymore."
Lu Qiaoqiao hugged Lin Shuyun tightly, sobbing, "Sister, thank you for not blaming me, thank you!"
Lu Qiaoqiao was much taller than Lin Shuyun, and the pair of giant pandas just covered her.
Lin Shuyun said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, you're supporting me! You should be supporting my brother!"
"Oh dear." One sentence made Lu Qiaoqiao so embarrassed that she couldn't cry anymore, and she even had the urge to punch Lin Shuyun.
Lin Hongzhi, who was standing to the side, also blushed deeply.
……
……
The room door creaked open.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Madam Qin didn't even look up, but frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"You haven't eaten anything, so I've brought you some food." Xiaoqing said, placing a bowl of soup on the table.
Lu Qiaoqiao smeared the poison on the bottom of Xiaoqing's bowl, so there was no poison in the mushroom soup. The mushroom soup smelled so good that it would be a waste not to drink it.
He's already had some; it's delicious.
It gives me a feeling of complete comfort.
Qin Niangzi didn't look up, fiddling with the bracelet on her wrist. "Just leave it there. I don't have an appetite right now."
Xiaoqing glanced at her and was about to leave when Qin Niangzi suddenly pressed a button on some mechanism. A wooden splinter shot out from inside the bracelet and embedded itself directly into the table.
Startled, she jumped up from her chair instantly.
Xiaoqing's expression changed, and she rushed over, "Are you alright?"
"Good heavens! How come Yunyun didn't tell me that there was a mechanism in this bracelet?" Qin Niangzi patted her chest in lingering fear.
Luckily, the mechanism was aimed at the table; if it had been aimed at her, she would be dead by now.
Xiaoqing's face darkened. "Why didn't she say that? She did say it when she was making the bracelet. I heard it all. It's your own carelessness. If you don't understand, don't touch things randomly!"
Qin Niangzi frowned, then suddenly smiled, looking at Xiaoqing with great interest, "Why are you so concerned about me? Are you afraid I'll die?"
"No way, you actually care about me this much?!"
"Who cares about you? I'm afraid that if you die, my sister will be heartbroken. After all, we don't know where our poor widowed aunt came from, and she's finally having a few good days!"
Xiaoqing's expression changed, and she immediately slammed the door and left.
Qin Niangzi looked at the doorway and clicked her tongue twice. "That hypocritical brat, he clearly cares about his old lady, but he just won't admit it."
He smiled and hummed a little tune in a good mood.
Seeing the mushroom soup on the table, he picked it up and started drinking it.
It smells so good!
Wait a minute, she seems to remember not buying mushrooms today?
Qin Niangzi recalled that she had asked Li Shi yesterday, and Li Shi said that there were no pear trees in the house at all, which made her fall into deep thought.
Is Yunyun lying?
……
……
The next day.
Lin Dahai, Li Shi, and the other three were preparing to go home, and Lin Shuyun told them to drive the donkey cart from the backyard there.
Lin Hongzhi knew how to drive, and so did Lu Qiaoqiao.
Lin Dahai refused to accept it no matter what.
Lin Shuyun said, "Anyway, it's a waste of feed to leave it here. We use donkeys more often at home, so let's drive it back and use it. It will be more convenient for you to bring me some things when you come to the county again."
Lin Dahai stopped objecting after he said he was just borrowing it.
"The donkey cart has been delivered, so we don't need to go back to the countryside, right?" Qin Niangzi said while cracking melon seeds.
Lin Shuyun patted her forehead. "That's right. I was so focused on how to make it easier for my mother and the others to get back that I forgot about this. It's okay, we can buy a carriage later and go back faster by carriage."
"also."
As they were talking, a head peeked in through the doorway.
"Um...excuse me, does Madam Lin live here?"
