Chapter 158 Lian'er is dead
"What is your purpose?"
Yu Jinhuai looked at the woman on the ground and spoke.
Without waiting for anyone to react, Lian'er took out a small pill from her sleeve, stuffed it into her mouth and laughed: "You want to know? I won't tell you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth, as if he was out of control. The unwillingness in his eyes could not be ignored, and then he fell to the ground: "Just wait, the cavalry of Liang will avenge me, they will raze this place to the ground!"
Her angry eyes were wide open, but unfortunately she could no longer make a sound.
Song Weiwei was stunned by her appearance. She took a step back and hid behind Xu Miaomiao, with a little shock in her tone: "She, is she dead?"
Yu Jinhuai took a step forward, put his finger on the tip of her nose, and nodded to Song Weiwei: "There is no breath anymore."
On the other hand, Xu Miaomiao had a frown on her face, and the emotions in her dark eyes were even more unpredictable.
The few of them returned home early without staying for long, and happened to meet Gu Yuan's mother who had just returned from picking up the child.
After hearing about this, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "A spy from the enemy country? Then why are you following us? We have no power or influence, so what's the point of following us?"
"Then you'll have to ask our Sixth Prince."
Xu Miaomiao looked at Yu Jinhuai and spoke.
Being called suddenly, Yu Jinhuai touched his head a little embarrassedly: "They want to find me to go back, but this Lian'er must have other intentions for appearing here, why don't I go back to Liang Country to take a look."
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Okay, if the affairs between you royal family are not something we common people can get involved in, then I will not send you off."
With her hands clasped together, Xu Miaomiao respectfully saluted the man in front of her, as if she couldn't wait for him to leave.
Song Weiwei on the side bit her lower lip and stared at Yu Jinhuai with bloodshot eyes.
"Don't worry, Weiwei, I will definitely come to find you."
Yu Jinhuai blinked at Song Weiwei, smiled playfully, packed a few convenient things to wear, and turned to leave.
After the man passed by, Song Weiwei stood at the door like a woman waiting for her husband to leave, staring blankly in the direction he left.
It was not until Gu Yuan's mother called out that it was time to eat that Song Weiwei came back to her senses and began to pick up the food absentmindedly.
"You used to be the most active when it comes to eating. What's wrong with you now? You don't even want to eat for a man." Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Weiwei while eating and said, "Why, have you forgotten the lesson you learned before?"
Thinking of Xu Shan before, Song Weiwei couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly defended herself: "Yu Jinhuai is not that kind of person."
"He's not that kind of person?" Xu Miaomiao angrily threw the chopsticks on the table. "He knew that Lian'er was not right, but he kept it a secret from you. That's one thing. He can come and go as he pleases. That's another. If he really cared about you, how could he act so casually? He asked you to wait for him so casually, and you really waited for him?"
Song Weiwei couldn't argue with Xu Miaomiao, so she was as obedient as a quail, eating the rice in her bowl honestly.
Realizing that what she said was a bit too much, Xu Miaomiao softened her tone and said, "Who is he? He is the Sixth Prince of Liang Country. He is different from common people like us. He may seem simple, but how can a prince of a country be simple? Don't have too high hopes for him. That's all I have to say."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao turned and left.
For a moment, only Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei were left at the dinner table.
Gu Yuanniang tried to persuade her, but she also agreed with what Xu Miaomiao said. Yu Jinhuai was not a simple person.
He looked at Song Weiwei comfortingly and patted her hands: "Miaomiao also means well."
Unable to hold back her tears, Song Weiwei burst into tears and fell into Gu Yuanniang's arms, sobbing.
The scorching sun gradually faded away, and was replaced by a dim moon occupying the sky.
Xu Miaomiao gently patted little Erbao's chest and coaxed her to sleep.
When Gu Yuanniang saw this scene, she just looked at it and destroyed the lamp post.
"Stop making trouble?"
A light greeting came from the air.
Gu Yuanniang nodded: "It's okay once you think it through."
The expressions of the two women flickered under the light, but only their frowning brows were clearly illuminated.
"If this Lian'er is real, this matter cannot be underestimated." Gu Yuanniang said.
"Perhaps we were wrong from the beginning. We should have told Yu Jinhuai about this when we first met him."
Xu Miaomiao stared blankly ahead, already having a plan in mind.
"Maybe even if I tell you, no one will believe it. A prince has condescended to stay with us for such a long time, and brought a spy with him. Anyone who hears it will think it's a joke."
"No, Liu Niang." Xu Miaomiao looked at Gu Yuanniang firmly and said, "There is one person who will definitely believe it."
"The person you're talking about is Song Wushao?"
Gu Yuanniang said as she looked at Xu Miaomiao who was writing a letter.
Xu Miaomiao raised her head slightly to show her agreement and put the envelope away: "He will definitely believe it."
"He will believe me, but you have forgotten one thing." Gu Yuanniang pulled Xu Miaomiao to sit aside and said, "Song Wushao has just entered the official career, so he can't show off too much. Besides, he is now in the capital, and distant water can't quench nearby fire."
"So I have to go see the county magistrate."
The identification revealed in his eyes was obvious. As soon as the sky brightened the next day, Xu Miaomiao set off for the capital.
When he arrived at the yamen, the county magistrate had not yet finished his breakfast, so when he saw Xu Miaomiao, the guy who disturbed his meal, his anger was ignited.
"What are you doing here?"
"Miaomiao came here this time because I want to see you about something important." Xu Miaomiao said with a bow.
The county magistrate was stunned by her serious expression, so he dismissed his attendants and said, "Okay, you can talk now."
Xu Miaomiao told the man everything that had happened in the past few days, but the man suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahahahaha, you said that the Sixth Prince of Liang Kingdom lives in your house, and he brought in some spy?"
The man asked again with a smile.
Xu Miaomiao didn't like his nonserious look and nodded in agreement.
"Madam Xu, I'm afraid you may have slept too much and couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams."
"Everything Miaomiao said is true. If you don't believe me, you can go and verify it." Xu Miaomiao knelt on the ground and looked at the man, continuing to speak.
The county magistrate waved his hand and said, "Okay, today I will just treat it as a joke you played on me. Go back quickly and I will not punish you."
Xu Miaomiao was unwilling, but she still stood up, bowed to the man, and prepared to leave.
She really didn't think that the county magistrate would believe her, but she still wanted to give it a try, but ultimately failed.
Gu Yuanniang was waiting for her at the door, and when she saw Xu Miaomiao's lost expression, she knew that the plan had not been successful.
