"Old Zhang, what's going on? Where are you rushing off to?"

In the crowd, someone asked this question.

Lin Xue stopped in her tracks, wanting to hear what had happened.

"Hey! You guys don't know yet, do you? A husband was murdered in our town!"

"The town mayor has already arrested the man and plans to send him to the county magistrate for processing!"

The short man surrounded must be Old Zhang, the one being called out from the crowd.

"A case of murdering one's husband? Good heavens, this is terrible! How could something like this happen in our Huangjia Town?"

Someone couldn't help but let out a sigh!

Having a murder case can tarnish the reputation of your town.

The mayor must be in a bad mood right now.

No wonder no one has come to collect the stall fees so early in the morning.

The highest-ranking official in Huangjia Town is the town mayor, who handles most of the town's affairs.

Only when a problem cannot be solved will it be sent to the county, where it will be handled by the officials in the county government.

The reason this case of murdering her husband was sent to the county must be because there are many mysteries involved.

Lin Xue figured she had nothing else to do, so she decided to go and see what was going on.

"Don't crowd around me, I need to go see what's going on!"

"A murder case! This is a case that happens only once every few years!"

Old Zhang pushed hard against the crowd surrounding him. These people were taking advantage of his short stature, which prevented him from watching the commotion, and they were also blocking his way.

"We can let you go, but when you come back you have to tell us the details of this murder case!"

The crowd made their demands, and only after Lao Zhang agreed did they clear a path for him to leave.

Although Lin Xue knew the general location of the mayor's office, she didn't know its exact location. So she followed the short man named Lao Zhang all the way to the outside of the mayor's office.

By this time, the area was already surrounded by layers upon layers of onlookers. These were people who loved a good spectacle and were there to see what would happen next in the murder case.

Lin Xue didn't hold back her strength at this moment. She used all her brute force to quickly squeeze to the front of the crowd.

Lin Xue's actions also aroused dissatisfaction among many people. Wherever she passed by, many people uttered harsh and angry curses.

However, Lin Xue ignored the people's impotent rage and crossed her arms to watch the commotion inside.

At this moment, a woman was forced to kneel on the ground, her hair disheveled and hanging down her body, clearly indicating that she had been pulled or dragged.

Kneeling beside her was an old woman with triangular, slanted eyes, a hooked nose, and sunken thighs.

He looked like a mean-spirited person, but Lin Xue wouldn't judge a book by its cover and didn't think he was a bad person.

The woman seemed to have been severely affected; she had probably cried and made a scene, but eventually she had no strength left and let people force her to kneel in the street.

“Mrs. Zhao, after my investigation, it has been confirmed that only the stewed old hen in the breakfast this morning was poisoned. You were the only one in your family who went into the kitchen to cook. What do you have to deny now?”

The town mayor frowned as he looked at the young woman kneeling in front of him. According to his investigation, the young woman and her husband were very much in love, and under normal circumstances, she would not have killed her husband.

However, the mother-in-law insisted that her daughter-in-law had killed her son.

And they did indeed find toxins in the chicken soup.

This poison is the same type as the one the deceased was poisoned with.

"My lord, I really didn't poison my husband! I'm just an ordinary peasant woman, where would I find such a strange poison?"

"Pah! If it weren't for you, how could my son have died? You say you didn't poison him, but why didn't you drink the chicken soup?"

Before the young woman could finish speaking, the old woman beside her couldn't help but start cursing.

"Mother, you have to believe me, I really didn't poison her!"

"If you want me to be buried with my husband, I'm naturally willing, but I can't admit to the crime of killing my husband!"

“We’ve been in town for years, everyone knows how loving we are, how could I possibly kill my beloved husband?”

As the young woman spoke, tears streamed down her face again. She was truly innocent. They had eaten breakfast together that morning, but she was experiencing morning sickness due to her pregnancy and therefore did not want to drink the chicken soup.

My husband only drinks some of the chicken soup I stew in the morning!

But she really didn't expect that the chicken soup would be poisoned.

"You vicious woman, you still refuse to admit it even now? Don't you know that my family has only had one son for three generations? You only have this one son, are you trying to wipe out the Chen family line?"

The old woman started crying as she spoke.

She used to think that her son and daughter-in-law were deeply in love, so she let the young couple do business in town without worry, while she lived in the countryside with her husband.

She had just come to town to see her son and daughter-in-law when she unexpectedly found her son's corpse as soon as she entered the door. How could she bear this?

"Mother, it really wasn't me who poisoned it! I just didn't have a good appetite this morning, so I didn't drink the chicken soup. If I had known there was poison in the chicken soup, how could I have let my husband drink it!"

Thinking of this, Zhao felt a deep sadness welling up inside her.

This feeling of sadness completely overwhelmed her.

Lin Xue noticed that the woman's emotions were off. If she had really harmed her husband, the woman shouldn't be behaving like this.

Moreover, when Lin Xue probed the woman's belly with her spiritual power, she discovered that the woman was already pregnant.

The couple is harmonious and in love, and she is pregnant; there must be another reason for this.

"You bitch, you're the one who killed my son!"

The old woman was also extremely angry, in pain, and couldn't help but hit the young woman.

"Don't hit her, ma'am! Your daughter-in-law is pregnant!"

Lin Xue disregarded everything else and shouted it out loud.

Fortunately, the crowd was in disarray at the time, and no one immediately realized that it was she who shouted those words.

After speaking, Lin Xue continued watching the show with a blank expression. If it weren't for the people standing next to her who heard it clearly, no one would have known that those words had just come from her mouth.

"You're pregnant?"

The old woman stopped hitting Zhao Shi immediately, looking at her daughter-in-law who was crying bitterly in disbelief.

"Mother, I'm over three months pregnant!"

"How could I poison my husband at this time? We'll be having our own child soon!"

As she spoke, Zhao cried even more bitterly!

The old lady was stunned for a moment, unsure how to react.

If the daughter-in-law is really pregnant, then she definitely cannot harm her son.

After all, the Chen family has only had one son for three generations. If the child in the daughter-in-law's womb is harmed, then the Chen family line will truly be cut off!
