With great difficulty, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a crumpled letter, and handed it over with trembling hands!
Lin Ru took the letter, opened the envelope, and saw Ning Gui's familiar handwriting!
Although the letter contained only a few lines, it still made her feel extremely alarmed!
Hai Jingming has rebelled!
These words made her beautiful brows furrow tightly.
She put the letter under the fire to warm it up a bit, and there was no secret message, just these six words!
Judging from the way it looked, it must have been written in a great hurry!
Lin Ru simply couldn't believe what was written on it. Although this system was somewhat shady, and every time he killed someone it would arouse his bloodlust, the things the system gave him were, to be fair, genuine!
Without these things, perhaps she wouldn't have been able to continue eating people like this from ancient times to the present day!
Moreover, he later investigated carefully. Hai Jingming was acting strangely every day and was devoted to Buddhism. Not to mention that he witnessed the whole process of the extermination of the Shun King, his recent successful prayer for rain was enough to convince him. Why would he betray him?
She just couldn't understand it! In the end, she decided to go and see for herself. If they really had chosen to betray her, then she would personally clean house. If there was some unspeakable reason or they were being coerced, she could also rescue them!
However, the guy in front of me is a bit strange. When he saw her for the first time, his hatred level actually fluctuated by one point!
Although it's just one point, it's a bit strange for someone meeting it for the first time!
She placed the paper back on the flame and watched it burn to ashes before turning to the little boy and asking, "Are you really Ning Gui's son?"
Why did you recognize me?
"Besides, when you're on the road, you have 100 ways to make me stop, so why use the worst one?"
Upon hearing this, the little boy's eyes darted around, as if he were thinking of a solution!
Wu Ling drew a long sword from his waist and held it to his neck!
The little boy was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Goddess! I'll talk!"
"Could you ask this uncle to put the knife aside? I'm afraid if his hand shakes, I'll lose my life."
"I'm still thinking of going back to see my dad."
Lin Ru sneered, "Don't try to negotiate with me here. Whether you are Ning Gui's son or not is still undecided!"
"If you confess honestly, I might spare your life. Otherwise, even if I kill you, what can your father do?"
Upon hearing this, the little boy was about to burst into tears when Lin Ru slapped him across the face!
He was so frightened that he quickly swallowed it back!
"I just want to embarrass you in public, so what? I just don't like you. If my dad hadn't made me come, I would never have come, please!"
"You wicked woman, you always threaten to kill me!"
"You're only slightly good-looking, which is why my dad draws your portrait every day. He stares at your portrait in a daze every day and even insists on making us kneel down and worship you!"
"Moreover, my dad doesn't talk to me or my mom about anything anymore. He talks to his own portrait all day long, acting all mysterious. He's completely changed, and it's because of you that my dad doesn't come home all day long!"
"It's because of you that my father and mother were arrested!"
I hate you!
"I'd rather my dad were still the same mediocre person he was before!"
"I would rather you had never appeared. Even if you were killed by Prince Shun, it would be better than having your family destroyed!"
"I want you to know how outsiders really view stepmothers."
"I'm going to embarrass you in public and make you feel what it's like to be condemned by everyone!"
Lin Ru was speechless when she heard this!
Does this kid have some kind of mental problem?
And then there's Ning Gui, who not only paints her portrait, but also talks to himself while looking at it every day, and even makes his whole family kneel and worship her. It's as if he treats her like some kind of deity!
No wonder this kid hates her the moment he sees her!
She explained helplessly, "I have absolutely no relation to your father."
Do you know who I am?
"You actually thought I'd be with your father and become your stepmother?"
"Your thinking is really clear. Go home and get your brain checked."
The little boy said with a pitiful look, "Who could you be? Aren't you the person in the painting? But even though you're pretty, I won't call you my stepmother! I'll only ever have one mother!"
"And don't think that just because you're some kind of goddess or something, you're so powerful. Even if you become an empress, it won't matter!"
“The entire city of Anrui in Luzhou is covered with your portraits. I’ve run here and found many places with your portraits, except for these few nearby. But it won’t be long! If you dare to go in, you definitely won’t survive the next day!”
Lin Ru: "How many days did it take you to travel from there?"
The child tilted his head back and said, "It took me more than ten days to get to this border! If I hadn't walked fast and met several kind caravans along the way who would have given me a ride, it might have taken even longer!"
"But of course I don't want you to die. My father said only you can save him!"
Lin Ru felt something was off when she heard the time. Even if she had exposed her whereabouts, it was only a few days ago in Xiqing County, and she didn't seem to have told the people in Xiqing County about her destination, Luzhou!
Why did Luzhou make preparations so early?
She suspected there might be a traitor among her, but no matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out who it was. Now she was just taking it one step at a time.
Then, through a combination of threats and explanations, she finally convinced the boy that she truly had no other relationship with his father!
However, after asking around, it turned out that this kid wasn't very clear about the important matters of Anrui City, but he was quite knowledgeable about some inside information!
I heard that a few months ago, when Hai Jingming's daughter went out to burn incense, she was rescued by a man on the way. She then devoted herself entirely to that man and acted as if she would marry no one but him!
It's all over Anrui City!
But Hai Jingming doesn't seem to agree!
There are also many talented women who have their own thoughts on this matter!
This kid knows everything!
She always seemed like a stay-at-home woman who knew a lot about things in the backyard!
This not only made her doubt the boy's gender, but his name was also very feminine: Ning Xuan!
But this kid was filthy, and not only his voice, but his demeanor was no different from that of a man!
