After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun

Chapter 49 Investigation
  As soon as Lin Zhiyu stood up, she heard her grandma's voice coming from behind her.

"Big girl, Wicker is here."

Because Lin Zhiyu's back was turned to them, the two nuns couldn't see clearly what she was doing inside. They exchanged glances. One of them handed the wicker to Qiaoxiu, and the other took the opportunity to enter the woodshed to check the situation. .

"Grudge, are you eating all this food for free every day?"

Before he could squat down and take a closer look, Lin Zhiyu suddenly started to get angry.

Grandma was startled, but she didn't dare to make any big moves and just stood there at a loss.

She took a rough look around the woodshed and found nothing out of the ordinary, and then she respectfully replied: "Girl, it's not that we are lazy, it's that this wicker is really hard to find. It's not easy to find it. Why?" When I met an unreasonable person, he insisted on saying that the willow tree was his, so I gave it to him."

Lin Zhiyu turned around to get the wicker and found that the wicker was short and small enough to hold in the palm of her hand.

The unreasonable person in Mammy's mouth is probably Chu Nian.

It was as if he knew what he was going to do every step of the way. Invisibly, he owed him another favor.

Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but become a little curious about Chu Nian's identity.

"It took me a long time to find this, you are fooling a child!" Lin Zhiyu threw the wicker on the ground with a wave of his hand, "Okay, I'm not interested anymore, Qiaoxiu, let's go."

Qiao Xiu agreed, glared at the two nuns, and quickly followed behind Lin Zhiyu.

Seeing them walking away, the nanny in the woodshed spat on the ground and kicked Lin Xiaolian: "Yao Shou's little bastard should be killed by a head-on collision, and he should only be able to breathe and cause trouble to others!"

This kick happened to hit Lin Xiaolian's abdomen. She groaned and curled up involuntarily in pain.

"Oh, okay, I don't live long anyway." The grandma outside the door frowned, and after the grandma in the woodshed came out, she locked the door directly.

Lin Xiaolian was lying on the ground, with the thatch piled under her body making her body tingling. She watched helplessly as the bright gap in front of her eyes became smaller and smaller, until it disappeared.

"Miss, what should we do now?" On the way back, Qiao Xiu couldn't help but ask when she saw that Lin Zhiyu hadn't spoken.

"Go to Xu Xiuyuan's place first." Lin Zhiyu said in a deep voice.

Passing by the fork in the road, Lin Zhiyu took a special look around, only to find that Chu Nian had already left.

He comes and goes without a trace, which is really his style.

There were more and more people coming and going on the road, and it was already late. After Jiang Tongmiao woke up, they would not have time to investigate carefully.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiyu quickened his pace.

After knocking on the door of Xu Jiu'er's room, Liu'er poked her head out, as if she had just finished taking medicine. There were beads of sweat on her forehead. She was startled when she saw it was Lin Zhiyu: "Big girl? Come so early, empress." I’m not awake yet.”

She stepped aside to make room.

"Have you seen Lin Xiaolian last night?" Lin Zhiyu asked straight to the point without any intention of going in.

Liu'er was very puzzled by this sudden question: "No, after the eldest lady left last night, the queen took a rest and no one came again."

Lin Zhiyu asked again: "Have you ever received anything? Or heard anything?"

Liu'er recalled carefully: "I didn't really see anything, but around the first watch, something seemed to have fallen to the ground. I was still sorting out the medicinal materials, so I didn't go out to take a look."

Seeing Lin Zhiyu and Qiaoxiu's serious expressions, Liu'er asked, "But what happened to Xiaolian?"

Lin Zhiyu nodded solemnly and briefly explained what happened this morning. Liu'er bit her finger, a little scared: "This, this is impossible, Xiaolian didn't do anything, why harm her?"

As he said this, a burning smell came from the room.

"It's broken!" Liu'er stamped her foot, "There are medicinal materials boiled in it! Girl, if there's nothing else, I'll go in first."

Lin Zhiyu nodded, Liu'er turned around and closed the door.

Qiao Xiu groaned for a long time and said, "Why does Liu'er look weird today?"

"Because she's lying."

Lin Zhiyu's face darkened: "I just talked about Xiaolian, and her first reaction was to ask us if something happened. This means that she must know something."

"And I didn't say that we met Lin Xiaolian in the woodshed, but she said that someone wanted to harm Lin Xiaolian. How did you know this?"

Qiaoxiu thought for a moment: "But Liu'er doesn't seem to be the instigator. She is even smaller than Xiaolian, and there is no reason to assassinate Lin Xiaolian."

"Qiaoxiu, let me ask you, if one day someone threatens you with my life and asks you to sacrifice your life for her, will you do it or not?"

"So what the lady is saying is that someone is threatening Liu Er with Xu Xiuyuan's life?"

Lin Zhiyu said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Judging from the inference just now, Liu'er more or less saw something, and even played a role in this matter.

"Xiaolian said she smelled the fragrance on the way to Xu Xiuyuan's wing, but she did not completely lose consciousness at that time, and there was only one way to go. In other words, there were at least two people involved. This was not a temporary idea. It’s a game that was prepared for us early on.”

Suddenly, Zhuang Younan's face flashed in Lin Zhiyu's mind.

At that time, she asked about the content of the bet, but Zhuang Younan was trying to be mysterious, saying that the time had not come yet.

Are you trying to make a bet on someone else's game?
  Lin Zhiyu's eyes darkened.

Just as Lin Zhiyu was lost in thought, Qiaoxiu, who was looking for something on the ground, made a new discovery.

"Miss, come and see, is this the food box that Nanny Xu sent to our wing?"

Qiaoxiu handed the pieces of wood in her hand to Lin Zhiyu.

Lin Zhiyu put the rabbit meat into the food box by herself last night, so she was still a little impressed by the pattern on the food box.

"The patterns are the same, but just this small piece doesn't mean much."

Lin Zhiyu lowered his head and turned to study the piece of wood he had just found.

The weather was humid at night, so the soil on the ground would be relatively soft. But when the sun came out in the morning and the weather gradually warmed up, the ground would become dry and solid again. If there was a second person on this road last night, it must have been Will leave footprints.

Sure enough, not far from the broken wood, Lin Zhiyu saw a very shallow footprint.

Qiaoxiu squatted down, observed carefully, and said, "Looking at the length and depth, she must be a woman, and her stature should be taller than Lin Xiaolian."

Lin Zhiyu gestured with his hand to indicate the length of the footprints, as if thinking about something.
