Lu Zheng and Gu Xin weren't the kind of people willing to cooperate with her and play the role of a loving mother. However, Madam Lin herself was having a great time acting, regardless of whether the two cooperated or not. Anyway, she wasn't putting on an act for these two people.
After she finished her performance, she left the inn with her maid.
"Tsk, my sister is absolutely right about something," Gu Xin remarked, watching Lin's retreating figure.
"What?" Zheng Qiu and Fatty Wang asked curiously.
The case happened, and Fatty Wang couldn't get there immediately, but he arrived around noon and was helping out with some things. He happened to be nearby right now.
"As long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed," Lu Zheng answered their questions for Gu Xin.
Zheng Qiu was taken aback.
Fatty Wang clapped his hands and said in deep agreement, "Princess Nian Nian's words are well said, wonderfully said!"
The woman in white suddenly appeared out of nowhere: "What's even more wonderful is our Lady of the State!"
The four looked at the man in white.
The man in white glanced around at the other people in the room.
Gu Xin understood immediately and dismissed everyone, leaving only the five of them in the room.
"Third Miss, have you made any progress?" asked the woman in white.
“Of course we have a lead. The murderer will definitely be caught before dark. This case is quite simple,” Gu Xin said without hesitation, then frowned and asked the man in white, “I told you to gossip, why are you bringing this up?”
"Let's ask first! If we find the murderer before dark, then this gossip will be over. I think it's best if you delay, Third Miss, until after midnight." The man in white smiled meaningfully.
"What did Lin say to Lu Ni?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Well, if the Third Miss finds the murderer before dark, then Madam Lin's words were just a waste of time, and her plan will have to be postponed. I just don't know if she can still do it with her current abilities." The woman in white had really whetted everyone's appetite.
"Bai Yi, if you don't say anything, the third girl and General Lu will team up to beat you up!" Fatty Wang liked to hear gossip the most, so he started to threaten him.
"Do you think it would take the Third Sister and General Lu to join forces to beat up the white-robed man?" Zheng Qiu asked.
Gu Xin and Lu Zheng didn't speak, but they looked at the man in white with a dangerous glint in their eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'm scared. I'll tell you, alright?" Under the threat in his eyes, the man in white begged for mercy.
Then he recounted the conversation between Lin Shi and Lu Ni, the mother and daughter, that he had overheard while lying on the roof.
Gu Xin and the other three were shocked after hearing this.
This truly lives up to the reputation of the Lin family!
She actually managed to come up with the idea of asking her daughter to do something like this.
Lu Zheng revealed a sarcastic smile. What, now that the Lin family is gone, has the Lin family started poisoning their own daughter?
You should know that in her past life, she never used those medicines on her own children.
"Brother Yuanyuan, should we give them their blessing?" Gu Xin immediately sensed that something was wrong with Lu Zheng's demeanor and turned to ask.
"Of course we'll grant her wish. Neither of them are good people anyway. Since Lu Ni can cause trouble, let her cause trouble! We'll help her marry into Dongzhe, and after she marries, we, as her older brother and sister-in-law, will back her up and let her make a scene! This 'Frog Prince' deserves some suffering." Lu Zheng said with a smile, coming back to his senses.
He changed his mind almost instantly. He hadn't originally planned to let Prince Tiantian return to Dongzhe safely, but since the Lin family and Lu Ni had this up their sleeve, he decided to let him go back safely!
