Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

"You still dare to quibble. I checked yesterday and found that the grave was overgrown with weeds. If you didn't look closely, it would be hard to find the holes. Moreover, the inner wall of the hole was smooth. It was clearly poked out by a stick."

The village chief's face turned bitter when he heard this. "My Lady, how dare I lie to you now? I really didn't dig that hole, and I wasn't the first person to discover the weasel's den."

"Oh? Who is that?"

Su Xuqing raised her eyebrows. This matter has not yet ended with the village chief.

The village chief quickly replied, "Your Highness, the first person to discover the weasel's den was Da Zhuang from our Stone Village."

"Who? Who do you say?"

Su Xuqing's eyes turned cold, and even Yinhuan was surprised.

"It's Da Zhuang. If you don't believe me, I can bring him here to confront you."

At this point, Su Xuqing noticed something was wrong. "You mean Da Zhuang was the first to find the weasel's den, and then told you, and you got greedy and found a witch to help you cheat money?"

The village chief nodded guiltily, "Yes, I swear to heaven that I never lied to you."

Hearing this, Su Xuqing was silent for a moment and said, "I understand. You go back first."

The village chief was stunned for a moment. The Crown Princess actually let him go like that?

After a brief moment of surprise, the village chief was overjoyed, "Thank you so much for your forgiveness, Princess! Thank you so much for your forgiveness, Princess!"

After the village chief left, Yinhuan said with a bitter face: "Madam, I can't figure it out. Why did Brother Dazhuang do this?"

Su Xuqing's eyebrows sank slightly, and she murmured, "If what the village chief said is true, Da Zhuang first tampered with your mother's grave, spreading rumors that a weasel lived in the grave and attracted evil spirits, but why did he do this?"

"If it was for profit, he could have just cooperated with the village chief and defrauded money together. Why wouldn't he be willing to travel hundreds of miles to the capital to tell you about this?"

Yinhuan felt like her head was a mess and shook her head.

Taozi's eyes turned slightly and she guessed, "Maybe it's for the reward money."

"No, something's wrong."

Su Xuqing suddenly remembered a detail and said in a cold voice, "The people in Shitou Village only know that Yinhuan is a maid in a wealthy family in the capital, but they probably don't know which family it is. But how did Dazhuang find the Zhennan Palace? He must have someone behind the scenes to guide him."

Yinhuan covered his heart with his hands, showing a frightened expression.

"Ma'am, is there someone trying to harm you?"

Su Xuqing frowned and thought for a moment, "I came out this time at my own request, so I don't know whether this is a coincidence or a trap that has been designed."

Yinhuan felt more and more uneasy after hearing this. She said hurriedly, "Madam, why don't we return to Beijing as soon as possible? We can put my mother's matter on hold. Anyway, the village chief doesn't dare to start any more construction now."

"It's probably too late to leave. If this is really a trap, how can we safely reach the capital after the 200 miles? The best plan now is to send a message back to the capital and ask the prince to send someone to pick us up."

Yinhuan hurriedly prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, "Madam, please write the letter quickly. Commander Hu brought a carrier pigeon with him this time. It's in a cage on the horse's back."

Su Xuqing nodded slightly, picked up the pen and wrote a letter and sealed it in the small bamboo tube.

Taozi came in with a birdcage, took the pigeon out, tied a small bamboo tube to it, and then let it fly away.

After the pigeon flew away, Su Xuqing withdrew her gaze and said, "Let's go out less often from now on. We can hire someone to repair the tombs. If anything unexpected happens, you two can run for your lives and don't worry about me."

"lady!"

Yinhuan suddenly became anxious, "Yinhuan wants to be with Madam even if she dies. How can we abandon Madam and escape by ourselves?"

After hearing her words, Su Xuqing smiled gently, "Silly girl, Madam, in addition to curing illnesses and saving lives, I have also studied a lot of poisoning skills. No one can easily take my life. As long as we hold on until the prince sends someone to help, this matter will be fine."

Yinhuan still felt scared after hearing this and grabbed Su Xuqing's sleeve tightly.

At this moment, Su Xuqing didn't know that the carrier pigeon she had just released fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string not long after flying out of the village. After struggling for a few times, it stopped moving.

The evening breeze was cool. Su Xuqing took a nap on the rattan chair in front of the door, looking harmless.

In fact, the courtyard was already full of poisons and poisonous insects. Without the protection of the Hundred Poison Pills she made, anyone who dared to step into the courtyard would die.

Su Xuqing was on the verge of life and death on Chaomu Mountain before, but she did gain something. She found a book of poisons on Zhao Qiankun's body, which recorded various poisons that killed Yu Wuxin. She often read it when she had nothing to do.

Under normal circumstances, she would not poison anyone, but at this moment when her life was at stake, she could use it to defend herself.

As the sun set, the small mountain village gradually became quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs.

Although it was already autumn, there were still more mosquitoes than in the capital because it was close to the mountains. Yinhuan lit a mosquito repellent incense and placed it next to Su Xuqing, with lingering worry in her clear eyes.

She regretted letting Su Xuqing follow her back to the village. She would rather find a way to deal with the grave issue herself than put her wife in danger.

The moonlight cast a layer of bright silver in the farmyard, and Su Xuqing's delicate cheeks were as white as mutton-fat jade.

"Go to bed."

Stretching, Su Xuqing stood up from the rattan chair, and Yinhuan quickly fetched hot water for her to wash.

At three o'clock in the night, flowing clouds covered the sky.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, it was a murderous night.

Outside Qingshui Village, dozens of men in black quietly entered the village. They threw poisonous meat buns into the guard dogs of each household. The dogs did not even have time to whine before they were poisoned to death in an instant.

"Enter."

The leader made a gesture and said in a deep voice: "We must kill the Crown Prince's Consort today."

"Who do you want to kill?"

As soon as the leading man in black finished speaking, he heard someone talking beside him. He frowned and turned his head to find a broad figure standing there.

"Who is meddling in other people's business?"

Bai Zhu squeezed his joints until they crackled, grinning with a cruel expression.

"Kill your people."

Oh oh oh~

Early in the morning, the big rooster in Qingshui Village crowed loudly, waking up the village that had been silent all night.

The villagers got up yawning, and then found that their dog was dead. They were so angry that they jumped on the spot and cursed.

The sunlight shone through the window, a little dazzling. Su Xuqing woke up with a frown.

Su Xuqing sat up and was about to get out of bed when she found a letter next to her pillow. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she looked up at the closed doors and windows, her heart pounding.

She clearly locked the doors and windows last night, so who put the letter in?
