Jiang Zhixu and Jiang Shuyan rushed to the third room. When they arrived, everyone in the third room had a solemn look on their faces, and Yinhuan's body was lying on the ground.
Jin Linlin and Cao Jiao sat slumped on the ground, like statues, lost in thought. Their faces were vacant and their expressions were uglier than ever.
Jiang Zhixu and Jiang Shuyan each picked up their wives from the ground and gently placed them on both sides of the Arhat bed, then signaled to the secret guards to deal with Yinhuan's body.
Cao Jiao glanced at Jin Linlin, her heart full of self-blame. She must have sensed the danger and insisted on sleeping on the same bed with her. She had just arrived in this world and should have thought of her helplessness and fear.
Jiang Zhixu frowned and asked softly, "What exactly happened?" Cao Jiao's lips trembled as she told him the whole story in detail.
Jiang Shuyan's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. "Someone must have deliberately plotted to kill me. This matter must not be let go so easily."
Jiang Zhixu looked at Jiang Shuyan and said in a deep voice: "The most urgent thing is to find out the mastermind behind this." Jiang Shuyan nodded and immediately sent secret guards to track down the clues.
At this moment, a secret guard hurried in to report that he had found an unfamiliar jade pendant in the courtyard. Jiang Zhixu took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. "The material of this jade pendant is very special. It must have come from a famous family."
Jiang Shuyan thought for a moment, "It seems that the identity of the person behind this is quite extraordinary. We must start our investigation from this jade pendant."
Jin Linlin remained motionless, like a walking corpse. Everything in the outside world was just a passing cloud to her, and she turned a deaf ear to it.
She had always relied on the original owner's wishes and believed that everyone around her was trustworthy. However, all the incidents that happened in the past two days were all caused by the people around her betraying her. Yesterday's chrysanthemum oil and jade hairpin were obviously given to Jiang Shiwei by her people, as well as today's silver ring.
Relying on her knowledge of the book and subsequent events, she underestimated these ancients, believing she could stay out of it. Unexpectedly, she was already trapped. Can this deadlock truly be untied?
The people around him are all harboring evil intentions, like ghosts and monsters, making it difficult to distinguish between human and ghost. He holds a huge fortune, but knows that his end is approaching, but instead of cleaning up the people around him, he brings danger to Cao Jiao.
Jin Linlin knew clearly that she had traveled back to a feudal dynasty, but she still naively fantasized that she could live in peace with others.
She knew full well that human life was worthless here, yet she always wished to avoid bloodshed, always trying to make a big deal out of a small matter. At this moment, she was filled with regret, as if it were pierced by thousands of arrows.
At this moment, Cao Jiao gently held her hand and said in a soft voice, "Linlin, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault. Let's work together to find the mastermind behind this."
Jin Linlin slowly raised her head with a gentle expression. After gently comforting Cao Jiao, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Seeing this, Cao Jiao was frightened and exclaimed, "Linlin!" Jiang Zhixu and Jiang Shuyan also hurried over.
Jiang Zhixu immediately felt Jin Linlin's pulse, his brow furrowed. "She's just been so angry, and she was frightened earlier, that's why she's like this."
Jiang Shuyan made a prompt decision and said, "Call a doctor quickly!" Soon, the doctor came hurriedly and prescribed medicine after a diagnosis.
Jiang Zhixu quickly ordered someone to boil some medicine. Cao Jiao stayed by Jin Linlin's bed, holding her hand tightly. Her eyes were red and tears welled up in them. "Linlin, you must get better soon."
Jiang Zhixu stared at the jade pendant on the ground, his eyes growing colder, as if he could freeze it. "No matter who is behind this, I will make him pay a heavy price."
Jiang Shuyan nodded, "With this jade pendant, we can always find some clues." The secret guards continued to search the mansion, not missing any clues. Meanwhile, Jin Linlin frowned in her coma, as if she was experiencing a terrible nightmare.
Cao Jiao called her name softly, hoping that she would wake up soon so that they could work together to catch the sinister and cunning mastermind behind the scenes.
Jiang Zhixu carried Jin Linlin back to Zhiyuanju with a gloomy face, carefully placed her on the bed, and gently stroked her temples:
"Since you discovered the danger, why didn't you come to me? Is the sense of security I gave you not enough? I'm sorry, I just took office these days and have been busy handling government affairs. I haven't paid attention to you and didn't notice the danger around you."
Jiang Zhixu kept muttering in her ear. He knew in his heart that Jin Linlin was kind-hearted and tolerant to everyone, so he should pay more attention to her.
Jiang Zhixu selected two female secret guards from the secret guards to take care of and protect Jin Linlin. One was called Chunxue and the other was called Qiuyu! Before Jin Linlin woke up, Jiang Zhixu did not allow anyone to get close.
He put all of Jin Linlin's former maids and servants under surveillance, sent secret guards to search their homes, and also sent people to investigate their backgrounds.
Before Jin Linlin wakes up, he wants to point out all the problematic people around her and let her make her own decision.
At this moment, Jin Linlin was disoriented in a dark dream. Suddenly, the original owner appeared in her dream. The original owner looked worried and a little anxious. He said to Jin Linlin:
"Don't blame yourself anymore. The people in this mansion are very complicated. You just arrived, so it's inevitable that you will suffer. I was also confused before, which is why I ended up like that. Now that you are here, live well for me."
After saying this, the original owner's figure slowly disappeared. Jin Linlin tried to catch her, but she couldn't. Suddenly, she returned to the modern era. Now, it was Linlin in ancient times, who was already sitting at her desk and started working. She turned around and said to her.
"I've come to your world, and I really like it here. I've loved doing business since I was a child, but unfortunately I'm a girl and can't go out and show my face. It's different here. I've already sent your half-brother to prison, and I've also managed the family business in perfect order, so you can rest assured."
"You must live a good life with me and find the lifestyle you love. Since we can't exchange, let's each work hard and live a wonderful life."
At this moment, Jin Linlin felt a familiar voice calling her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiang Zhixu's worried face.
When Jiang Zhixu saw her wake up, the surprise in his eyes was as brilliant as fireworks. He hurriedly handed her a cup of warm water and whispered softly:
"Finally you're awake. Don't let your imagination run wild. I've already taken control of that suspicious individual and will definitely uncover the mastermind behind this." Jin Linlin nodded slightly, her voice as weak as a candle in the wind. "Thank you very much."
At this time, Cao Jiao also rushed over. Seeing Jin Linlin wake up, her eyes instantly turned red, "You are finally awake, you almost scared me to death."
Jin Linlin looked at them, and a warm current seemed to flow in her heart. She secretly made up her mind to work together with everyone to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and protect everything she had in this mansion.
