This isn't the fragrance of plum blossoms; the forest has been filled with hallucinogenic drugs.
Jiang Mingyun didn't drive Jiang Yanwan away; she simply sent her away to lure Jiang Mingyun into the situation alone. What was she planning to do?
Or did her grandmother ask her to do something?
Lin Qingwan walked to the front of the thatched hut, reached out to push the door open, and was suddenly grabbed by the wrist and dragged inside. The smell of incense and candles made her body tremble.

The old lady cherished her own son, so this method must have been conceived by Madam He.
She's gone mad, not even sparing her deceased husband for her son's sake.
