Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

They had just fallen asleep and were still dreaming when they heard someone knocking on the door and shouting outside.

Lin Shuyun got up after putting on her coat, and Old Man Xu had already opened the door.

"Village chief, what brings you here so late?"

The village chief stood under the moonlight, his face grave. "Changtian's wife, people from our village have come. Who do they want? Hurry up and get dressed and come to the village entrance. Those people are coming aggressively. Call everyone in your family, quick!"

Find someone?

After the village chief finished speaking, he went to notify the next household. Jiang Changtian's house was the furthest away, so he was the first to be notified.

His son also got up to inform others, sensing that something big was about to happen in the village.

"Girl, hurry up and fix my face!"

Old Xu thought they might be looking for him, just in case.

Lin Shuyun glanced at it, quickly applied makeup to Old Man Xu and Xiaoqing, and then went to wake up Madam Qin.

Qin Niangzi put on her most tattered and worn clothes, yawning as she went out.

Lin Shuyun: ...

She guessed that these people must be looking for the great beauty.

When Lin Shuyun and her group arrived, almost everyone in the village had come.

There were more than twenty people ahead, riding tall horses, their torches illuminating the entrance to the village.

The village chief counted the number of people and nervously stepped forward to speak.

"Sir, everyone in our village is here except for those who are working in other places. May I ask who you are looking for so late at night?"

The middle-aged man who was leading the group had his face covered so that his appearance could not be seen, and he did not answer the village chief's question.

A moment later, two more masked men approached the middle-aged man.

"Sir, the village has been searched one by one, and no one is hiding."

The middle-aged man scanned the crowd. "Has anyone in your village rescued a suspicious woman these past few days? She was dressed in plain clothes and was extremely beautiful."

A woman with stunningly beautiful features?

Sure enough, they came for the beautiful woman.

This must be the enemy of the beautiful woman and her husband.

As Lin Shuyun was secretly observing this person in the crowd, someone suddenly spoke up.

"I've seen him before, sir. My mother and I have both seen him before!"

Everyone turned around in surprise to see Jiang Shuixian.

Jiang Shuixian had injuries on her face, had lost a lot of weight, and looked disheveled. It was hard to tell what she had gone through in the past two days. She was very agitated.

Jiang Shoutian panicked and hurriedly pulled Xu Shi and Jiang Shuixian away, saying, "Shuixian, what nonsense are you talking about? When have we ever met? Don't cause trouble for the family."

"I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth. Sir, if I tell you, could you give me a hundred taels of silver?!"

She'd had enough of this life. Chunfenglou wanted her to pay one hundred taels of silver to redeem herself, or they'd make her continue serving the lowest-class customers.

She would have to take on so many disgusting and ugly men to earn a hundred taels of silver; now is a perfect opportunity.

"Are you crazy for money? Come back now!" Jiang Shoutian urged anxiously to persuade him to return.

The masked middle-aged man pointed at Jiang Shuixian and said, "Speak up. As long as the information you provide is valuable, I can give you not just one hundred taels, but two hundred taels."

Jiang Shuixian's eyes lit up with excitement. With this money, she could redeem herself and live a life of luxury.

"Narcissus, what do you know? Don't talk nonsense and offend this important person."

Upon seeing someone draw a knife, Jiang Shoutian was immediately too frightened to speak.

"It's her. If the adults are looking for someone, ask her. She often takes in all sorts of shady people. The woman next to her, surnamed Qin, is the one she took in from who-knows-where! She's an absolute beauty, and many people have their eyes on her!"

As Jiang Shuixian pointed in that direction, the villagers made way for her.

Qin Niang was spitting out a mouthful of phlegm, picking her nose, and rubbing the phlegm with the sole of her shoe.

Seeing that everyone's attention was suddenly focused on her, she stopped picking her nose.

"What happened? What's wrong with me?"

Lin Shuyun mentally gave her aunt a thumbs up; she was absolutely brilliant.

Zhang Xiucheng looked her over carefully and saw that the woman was the right age, her appearance was acceptable, and she was a bit taller than Guan Suyi. Her rude behavior made him want to vomit.

How could this be Guan Suyi?

Having never seen any beauties in such a remote and impoverished place, Zhang Xiucheng felt disgusted that this kind of appearance could be considered stunning.

"Are you kidding me? Are you tired of living?"

Zhang Xiucheng's gaze was gloomy.

Jiang Shuixian panicked, wondering why it wasn't this one, when she suddenly saw Lin Shuyun.

He immediately pointed at Lin Shuyun and said, "Sir, even if this isn't it, you still need to arrest this Lin family member. His family lives at the foot of the mountain, so he must know something!"

"Just arrest her and interrogate her, and you'll see she's a ruthless and vicious woman. She even poisoned my mother, making her mute. If you don't believe me, ask my mother. All sorts of shady people are always coming to her house! She definitely knows!"

When Xu recalled Lin Shuyun that night, her eyes widened in fear, but she still mustered her courage and nodded.

With so many people around, would Lin dare to do anything to her?

Zhang Xiucheng's gaze fell on Lin Shuyun, who immediately put on a terrified expression.

Her voice even carried a lip, "Sister-in-law, even if we've separated our households, you can't do this to me! You're even pinning the crime of poisoning my mother-in-law on me."

Zhang Xiucheng sized up Lin Shuyun, "Where's your man?"

"My husband went to school after the Mid-Autumn Festival." Lin Shuyun looked very scared.

The village chief stepped forward to explain, "Sir, don't listen to this family's nonsense. They treated Jiang Changtian and his wife badly, and they've separated their households. Everyone knows that. This is a deliberate attempt to take revenge!"

The Jiang family members are really crazy; they dare to talk nonsense at a time like this.

"I didn't, I'm telling the truth! The husband next to her isn't my mother..."

Before Jiang Shuixian could finish speaking, she tripped and fell flat on her face, hurtling straight out and crashing into the knife of the person closest to her.

Blood splattered on the spot.

"Ah! Dead!"

Someone screamed, and Xu's eyes rolled back and she collapsed.

Jiang Shoutian was being held tightly by Jiang Laosan.

"Shut up! You're just a stupid idiot who's asking for death!"

When they saw these people pull out their knives, everyone immediately fell silent, and even the mouths of the children who were crying in fear were covered.

Zhang Xiucheng's gaze fell on the village chief.

"If you dare to divulge even a single word of what happened today, not a single person in your village will live!"

The village chief's face turned pale with fright. "Yes, yes, sir, don't worry, we will absolutely not reveal a single word. She's a prostitute from Chunfeng Tower. She asked for it! She's not from our village at all."

Zhang Xiucheng sized up the villagers whose eyes were filled with anxiety.

"I'll ask you one more time: has any suspicious woman come to the village? If I find out that anyone is hiding something, they'll suffer the same fate as this wretched woman on the ground!"

For a moment, there was complete silence; no one dared to speak.

The third aunt in the crowd gripped her daughter-in-law Tan's hand tightly.

Ms. Tan trembled with fear, clenching her teeth tightly.

She and her mother-in-law saw it; the morning before last, Jiang Changtian was carrying a woman on his back, clearly coming down from the mountain.

These people are probably looking for that woman.
