The head guard was getting angry at their reaction!
"What's with the arrogance?"
"You'll get what's coming to you later!"
After uttering that harsh remark, they left!
The people in the trees watched the farce unfolding below as if they were spectators at a play!
After these people left, he slowly closed his eyes again!
I've drifted off to sleep!
Just as these people walked out of Lin Ru's courtyard, someone rushed over in a panic!
"Boss! Boss! The prefect has been murdered!"
"And all the brothers who stayed in the courtyard are dead!"
"You should go back and check on things!"
"An assassin has also entered the madam's quarters!"
"It's a woman!"
"And it seems like there were two groups of people!"
"The lady knows that the master is dead, and she is currently raging in the main hall!"
"What should we do?"
"Has Bian Du been caught?"
This man spoke rapidly, like a machine gun, explaining the current situation in detail!
The leader looked on incredulously!
"What did you say? The master is dead!"
"He was perfectly fine when we left!"
"How could he die!?"
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
The man shook his head repeatedly!
"Boss! Come back with me quickly! If we get back any later, the rest of the brothers might be executed by the Madam!"
Although the man was extremely reluctant to face the lady, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back for the sake of his men!
Inside the house, Bai patted her chest, still shaken!
"These people are too fierce!"
Lin Ru smiled and took her hand, writing words on it!
Don't worry! It's all done.
Only then did Mrs. Bai smile and take her daughter's hand in return!
"Then let's get some rest!"
Lin Ru: "Yes, hurry up and continue to rest!"
"Get enough rest and energy!"
So the three of them took off their outer garments and all crawled into bed!
Lin Ru then channeled her consciousness into the space, first using the spiritual spring water to gently clean Bian Du's wounds, and then controlling the bottle of sleeping pills, opening the cap and placing it under his nose!
That way, I won't have to worry about him suddenly waking up!
Now every breath he takes is laced with sedatives!
Once these things are done!
She then began to examine the 500 mid-grade spirit stones in the corner!
What made her happy!
These spiritual stones are all natural!
To her disappointment, her current physical condition was not suitable for absorbing the spiritual energy inside!
If you wear this on your body for a long time and are constantly nourished by its spiritual energy, you might have another chance!
So she controlled the things in the space, punched a small hole in the light blue spirit stone, and tied a rope to it!
After withdrawing consciousness, put this thing on your body!
Once all of this is done!
She then placed the spirit stone in a special box, and using her spatial manipulation skills, she even designated a specific spot for that box.
Only she can touch this box!
She did this because she had often read novels where the heroine's hard-earned items were eaten by her spirit pet!
Moreover, he never learns his lesson; he not only eats her food, but also other people's food!
This means that the female protagonist spends most of her time raising her spirit pet!
Lin Ru didn't want that; she only wanted to live for herself!
When they woke up the next day, everything outside was in chaos!
Afterwards, Lin Ru went outside and stretched. While stretching, she looked at the big tree, but the person in the tree was nowhere to be seen!
And even the guards at the gate are gone!
Lin Ru shouted from outside!
"Someone come here! I need to wash up and have breakfast. Quickly bring me water and food!"
"Guards! Guards! If you don't come soon, I'm going to complain to the prefect!"
"Someone come here!"
She stood outside the door and called for ages, but no one came!
They did manage to call Wu Ling over!
"Miss! All the guards and maids who were with us outside have left!"
Lin Ru: "Oh, you ran fast! How's the situation outside now?"
Wu Ling respectfully replied, "Last night, the Prefect's wife summoned Prefect Shi and then had him killed!"
"Now, Magistrate Shi's wife has come looking for us with her children!"
Lin Ru was extremely surprised!
"The prefect's wife acted so quickly, killing that Prefect Shi in the middle of the night!?"
"My goodness! All my hard work yesterday was worth it!"
"Now that he's the leader of the group, we need to quickly send a message to Brother Ji and ask him to bring his men back!"
"I wonder which secret passage they took?"
"A day and a night have passed since Prince Shun besieged the city! We must act quickly and let the people in!"
Wu Shui suddenly stepped forward from the side.
"Chief! I know where that secret passage is!"
Lin Ru looked delighted!
"Then take Wu Yun and go inform Brother Ji!"
"I'll go and meet the Prefect's wife first!"
Upon hearing Wu Yun's name, Wu Shui's ears instantly turned red, and even his steps as he left became hesitant!
Lin Ru found it rather amusing from behind!
"Wu Ling! Look at your men! How can they be so naive!?"
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Wu Ling, only to find that Wu Ling's ears were even redder, and even the corners of his eyes were tinged with red! It was quite alluring!
When he met Lin Ru's eyes, he lowered his head shyly!
"I...I don't know either..."
Lin Ru patted his shoulder helplessly!
He went to find his mother!
After the two of them finished getting ready, they headed towards the main hall!
And right now, they're arguing fiercely!
"Madam Shi! What are you doing here at my house with your children?"
"What makes you think you can say that Prefect Shi is with me! You're just trying to smear me!"
Madam Shi: "Whether he's in your house or not, you and I both know perfectly well! If anything happens to my husband, you can forget about having a good life!"
"If you don't hand over my husband today, I won't leave. I'll make a scene at your door and let everyone see what a wicked woman you are!"
"Not only did they call my husband over in the middle of the night, but they also detained him and wouldn't let him leave!"
The governor's wife was furious!
"How dare you speak to me like that?! Do you have a death wish?! Guards! Drag this bastard and his illegitimate child away and beat them to death!"
"How dare you come to my house and cause trouble! You really have a death wish!"
Mrs. Shi plopped down on the ground!
Crying and screaming to the heavens!
"Good heavens! Look! Someone's trying to kill someone to cover it up!"
"Just because he's a high-ranking official, he thinks he can do whatever he wants!"
"Anyway, before I came here, I told my brother that if I didn't return within an hour, he should bring his men and break in!"
