Ji Wenxuan: Shall we go on a night raid on the prefect's mansion tonight?

Lin Ru nodded!

Lin Ru: Wu Ling, how many skilled fighters does the prefect have around him?

Wu Ling: There are four in the shadows, and six in the open!

Lin Ru looked at Wu Ling's reply and cursed inwardly: This old fox is really afraid of death! He actually brought so many experts to protect him in secret. Luckily, they didn't act immediately when they came in. If they had tried to kill the governor as soon as they came in, they would have been subdued as soon as they made a move!

Moreover, if the commotion becomes too loud, it will be very disadvantageous for them!

Seeing the worried look on her face, Wu Ling wrote again: Don't be afraid! I can handle everything! And Wu Juan and the others are also very capable!

Lin Ru naturally believed in their skills, but she had to deliver a fatal blow to this old fox!

Who knows if he has a backup plan!

Therefore, we cannot reveal our intentions yet!

After they finished their discussion, all the food on the table was gone!

This was the most peaceful meal they had eaten in the past few days!

After finishing our meal, we naturally need to go back to our respective places to rest!

They lived in the same courtyard!

But Ji Wenxuan is the only one with a separate room!

The other person slept on a large communal bed!

Men and women should sleep separately!

Moreover, the prefect placed a servant in each of their rooms, ostensibly to make it easier to take care of them!

But anyone with eyes can see that this is a form of surveillance!

Lin Ru also has a maid in this room!

There was only one person guarding the outside!

Perhaps it's because they are all women!

And there were only four people!

So I let my guard down a bit!

But what they didn't know was that these four women were all skilled in martial arts!

The little maid looked at the four women who had entered!

His face was full of disdain!

He was saying things to test the waters!

"Ladies and gentlemen! You must have had a long journey!"

"You must have gone through a lot of hardships! It must have been really difficult to get here! I wonder where you started from?"

"How lucky I am! I ran into Magistrate Ji halfway there!"

Following their previous agreement, Madam Bai smiled and said, "Miss, what kind of ladies or young ladies are we? Please don't say that! We are just a group of ordinary people!"

"They originally escaped from Linjia Village!"

"I was so thirsty and hungry along the way!"

"We originally fled here with the villagers!"

"But we met Magistrate Ji on the way! We didn't know he was the magistrate at the time! We just thought that everyone was having a hard time, and we should save as many lives as possible!"

"So we rescued him!"

"The villagers, seeing our determination to save him, were afraid we would hold them back!"

"They just abandoned us!"

“My husband and mother-in-law wanted to abandon him, but my daughter stopped them, so they abandoned us too!”

"If we hadn't met my brother from my maternal family on the way, and if my brother hadn't been so strong, we probably would have been killed by those refugees too!"

When she got to the point of being sad, she even started crying while holding a handkerchief!

Why is my life so miserable?

"What's wrong with just wanting to save someone?"

"They actually abandoned us so heartlessly!"

"And they took most of our food!"

"If we hadn't come here, we probably would have starved to death!"

Although Bai was very beautiful, she was the kind of gentle beauty, and her face was the kind of weak and easy to bully, and she had a very honest face. Now her face was covered with soot from the bottom of a pot!

So now all that's left is honesty, kindness, and vulnerability!

The maid didn't feel any pity for Bai Shi's crying, nor did she feel any goodwill towards Bai Shi because of Bai Shi's respect and politeness. On the contrary, she felt even more contempt: You are all starving to death, and you are still thinking about saving others. It's good enough that you haven't been sold off. You still have the nerve to cry here. I don't know how you are so lucky that you saved a county magistrate in one go!

She was quite annoyed by the crying and, thinking there was nothing more she could get out of it, casually comforted him, "Alright! Now the hard times are finally over!"

"You've all had a long day out, and it's getting late, so hurry up and pack up and get some rest!"

"Remember to call me if you need anything!"

"Don't wander around at night. We have a rule in our compound: if you see anyone loitering around at night, kill them on the spot!"

"You all know how dire the situation is right now!"

"So please cooperate!"

Bai wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and quickly nodded!

"Don't worry, girl, we definitely won't wander around."

"We're completely unfamiliar with this place, and we don't know what to do if we go out. Besides, we haven't had a proper rest in a long time, so naturally we need to rest early!"

"If you need anything tonight, you can call us!"

The little maid was getting impatient with Bai Shi's nagging!

She climbed onto the large communal bed, took off her coat near the door, and then crawled into bed, closing her eyes to rest. She didn't reply to Bai's words at all!

Bai didn't care at all, and continued to sob quietly to the side, then wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and tried to clean them!

Lin Ru hugged her mother tightly, feeling extremely distressed, and silently cried out!

The maid was originally lying on her back, but she was so annoyed by the noise that she turned around and turned away, trying to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed!

The two people who should have been crying their hearts out showed no sadness at all, not even a few tears, and they couldn't help but smile!

Lin Ru took out something that looked like a tinderbox from her bosom!

Under Wu Juan and Wu Yun's cover, the lid of this thing was opened! Sparks immediately started flying out again, accompanied by puffs of smoke!

Without prior arrangement, the women all covered their mouths and noses with the handkerchiefs they were about to use to wipe their tears!

This thing is a sleeping pill made by Lin Ru, inspired by Zhezi! As long as you open the cap of this sleeping pill, the sleeping drug inside will burn and turn into sleeping smoke!

Moreover, this thing looks exactly like a tinderbox!

Moreover, the smell is not pungent, it's similar to the smell of candles, so it's very suitable for indoor use!

Even if someone sees it, they won't think of it that way!

She stared at the wisps of white smoke rising from inside, her eyes filled with icy coldness!

She wasn't actually afraid of the sleeping potion, and Bai Shi had also taken the antidote, so she wasn't afraid of these kinds of weird things anymore, but the two of them still had to put on an act!

A moment later, the maid's tense body relaxed instantly!

Lin Ru took the sleeping powder and walked to the little maid's side, gently nudging her shoulder!
