Madam Li's smile was insincere: "I don't mind at all. It's a blessing for the Li family that the county princess can stay here."
"Besides, my wife and I have been longing for a grandson for a long time, and we can't wait for Weiwei's baby to be born safely."
"Your Highness is truly blessed. Weiwei became pregnant as soon as you arrived. We are so grateful to you that we would never mind."
Su Yujiao smiled politely and said, "Then thank you very much, Madam Li."
Two days later, Li Rongheng, who had not shown up until now, finally appeared.
When he returned, he excitedly hugged Lu Ziwei and spun her around, and then he was gentle and considerate, taking care of her in every way.
Looking at the polite and upright man in front of her, Su Yujiao found it hard to connect him with the scumbag in the original book.
No wonder my aunt trusts him so much; he certainly has a face that can deceive people.
Li Rongheng also treated her with great courtesy and politeness.
He even went to the inn in person to kneel and kowtow to Zhou, apologizing and reassuring her.
The next few days passed peacefully, and the pregnancy-preserving medicine that Li Rongheng brought each time was fine.
Su Yujiao felt that Li Rongheng was moving too slowly. If he didn't send her away, when would he dare to make a move?
"Jiaojiao, it's been several days and we haven't found any problems. Are we just overthinking it?"
"With me here, naturally no one will dare to tamper with the medicine, and as for any accidents, they can't be too obvious."
"I have a feeling that the person behind me is about to find a way to get me away."
"Or, I can find a way to leave on my own, pretending to go back to the capital with my mother, then those people will dare to make a move."
Lu Ziwei thought for a moment and said, "Jiaojiao, you should find a reason to leave yourself. If those servants really want to harm me, they are not of high enough status to get rid of you."
"The only people who can get you out of the house are the heads of the household, like my parents-in-law or my brother and sister-in-law."
Su Yujiao nodded: "Okay, I'll go for a walk in a bit. I'll just tell them that I'll be away for a long time and I have children at home to take care of."
Just as the two finished their discussion, Li Rongheng's voice rang out from the doorway, and Su Yujiao wisely left.
About half an hour later, Lu Ziwei found Su Yujiao and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Jiaojiao, it seems you really have to leave now."
"What's wrong?"
"Your brother-in-law said that a series of murders has recently been discovered in town. The thief specifically targets women, raping them before killing them."
"Your brother-in-law means that for your and your mother's safety, you should return to Beijing as soon as possible."
Su Yujiao gave a sarcastic smile: "I was just thinking of an excuse to leave, and now I have one. Brother-in-law, your timing is too perfect."
Lu Ziwei didn't catch the hidden meaning in her words; after all, she would never suspect her husband.
"Yes, it is quite a coincidence, but you should leave as soon as possible, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
"It's okay to put my matter aside for now."
Su Yujiao shook her head: "No need. This is a rare opportunity. Maybe they'll make their move after I leave."
"Since Mo Feng and Mo Ying haven't shown their faces, let them continue to monitor them from the shadows."
"They will report any unusual activity to you immediately."
"As for my mother and me, we'll head back first. If anything happens on your end, please let us know immediately."
"And you also need to protect yourself."
Lu Ziwei nodded: "Don't worry, with Mo Feng and Mo Ying protecting me in the shadows, I'm not afraid of being harmed by thieves."
"But you and your mother must be careful on the road."
"Um."
"Sister-in-law, please tell your parents-in-law that I won't be going."
"I'll pack my things and leave."
After sending Lu Ziwei away, Su Yujiao called out Mo Feng and Mo Ying, explained some things, and then left the Li family.
Knowing she was being followed, she left the inn with Zhou Shi and a large group of servants in a grand procession.
The Li family followed them for three days before returning.
“Mother, you take the others and continue back to the capital. I will go back to Lin’an County with Mo Feng.”
When Su Yujiao left the Li residence, she only left Mo Ying behind to protect Lu Ziwei, while Mo Feng secretly protected them.
After all, the so-called serial killer that Li Rongheng mentioned was just a fictitious existence, so there was no need to leave too many people to protect his aunt.
On the contrary, she needs more protection because of the back-and-forth travel.
Mrs. Zhou was a little worried: "Jiaojiao, could it be that someone really wants to harm Weiwei?"
Why did you go to such lengths?
"Mother, we must always be wary of others. We'll find out if anyone is trying to harm my aunt."
“My aunt is healthy, but she keeps having miscarriages for no reason. Someone must be harming her.”
"I have a feeling they'll make their move very soon."
Zhou's face paled, her expression filled with worry: "What about your aunt?"
"It's alright, Auntie has Mo Ying protecting her, she'll be fine."
"I'm just afraid that my aunt won't be able to accept reality once she finds out the truth."
Zhou's eyes widened suddenly: "Jiaojiao, do you have someone you suspect?"
“Your father said you have the ability to foresee the future, otherwise…” Zhou looked around, trying to lower her voice, “How could you have known about the dragon robe in advance?”
"Do you know who's trying to harm Weiwei?"
"You didn't come here to help Weiwei get pregnant, but to save her life. Someone is trying to kill her?"
Seeing that her mother-in-law had already guessed, Su Yujiao didn't hide it anymore, but she couldn't say it, so she just nodded.
Zhou was so frightened that her face turned pale. She grabbed Su Yujiao's hand tightly and said, "Jiaojiao, you must save Weiwei."
"Don't worry, I won't let the bad guys succeed."
After seeing her mother-in-law off, Su Yujiao disguised herself as a traveling doctor and returned to Lin'an County.
Without a carriage, she walked for five or six days before reaching Lin'an County.
To her surprise, she received a message from Mo Ying as soon as she arrived in Lin'an County.
Li Rongheng has already taken action, adding an abortifacient ingredient to Lu Ziwei's pregnancy-preserving medication.
"Did you tell Miss Six?"
Mo Ying shook his head: "Not yet. This subordinate dares not inform the Sixth Miss rashly, after all..."
Su Yujiao sneered: "After all, she trusts Li Rongheng so much, how could she believe that her beloved husband has been harming her all along?"
"Go tell your aunt that I want to see her."
That afternoon, Lu Ziwei went to the teahouse: "Jiaojiao, why didn't you leave?"
"I was worried about you, so I disguised myself and stayed behind. That serial killer only targets women, right? I'm a man now."
Where is Mother?
"Mother has already returned to the capital."
"Mo Ying said you wanted to see me?" Lu Ziwei asked curiously.
Su Yujiao instructed Mo Ying, "Tell Sixth Miss what you saw."
"yes."
"I've noticed that these past two days, Lord Li has been taking the medicine bowl from Xiao Huan and personally delivering it to you."
“He would secretly add some white powder to the medicine bowl during the delivery, stir it, and then personally feed it to you.”
Lu Ziwei's face turned pale, her body swayed violently, and she shouted without thinking, "This is impossible!!"
