But then a bitter smile appeared on her face. Isn't this what she wanted?

But! I don't know why I feel something strange in my heart.

Liu Yueru's gaze fell again on Xie Jingrui's hand that was covering his eyes, and more blood was flowing.

Liu Yueru didn't have time to think about it and raised her hand to grab Xie Jingrui's wrist again, and was about to walk back: "Hua Ge'er will be worried if he sees you like this."

Xie Jingrui paused, looked at her with dark eyes, and asked with a hint of expectation: "What about you? Are you worried about this prince?"

Liu Yueru met Xie Jingrui's dark eyes with complicated expressions and subconsciously avoided them.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Hua Ge'er is still waiting for the prince to return home safely."

Xie Jingrui moved his arm slightly and completely pulled his wrist away from Liu Yueru's hand.

“Madam Liu, don’t worry. Even if I go blind, this matter has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to pretend to care about me for fear of being implicated. I will misunderstand you. Please respect yourself, Madam Liu!” Xie Jingrui’s voice was cold and indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.

But it felt like something stabbed Liu Yueru's heart.

Her face turned pale, and when she came to her senses, Xie Jingrui's figure had already gone far away.

Mother Yan saw this scene not far away, and stepped forward to support Liu Yueru with heartache.

"Madam! Do you want me to go and invite the prince back?" Mother Yan called softly, looking at Xie Jingrui's leaving figure with full of worry.

Liu Yueru raised her hand to stop him, and her eyes turned red without her realizing it.

It turned out that she didn't know when her heart had slowly followed Xie Jingrui.

Seeing how miserable Liu Yueru was, Mother Yan opened her mouth, but then thought of the current situation of Liu Yueru and Xie Jingrui, and then she silently stayed by Liu Yueru's side and kept silent.

Liu Yueru looked at the mess in front of her, quickly calmed herself down, and led everyone to deal with the locusts that fell to the ground. Some of them only had their wings burned, but were not completely dead.

The chickens, ducks and geese that had been released could no longer eat.

There was a thick layer on the ground.

Some farmers smelled the fragrance and someone said, "If these are edible, we can eat meat for a while."

When Liu Yueru heard this, she seemed to be enlightened by that person's words.

She remembered that at the end of the famine in her previous life, someone used the locusts to cook delicious food. No one dared to eat it at first, but later an old doctor and some people who were not afraid of death tried it first.

Nothing.

The news gradually spread, and then people began to catch locusts to supplement their nutrition.

However, the locusts at that time were simply cooked and eaten, which was really difficult to swallow.

Liu Yueru thought about her envoys from Northern Frontier who were about to arrive, and perhaps she could serve them some delicious dishes.

Think about this.

Liu Yueru raised her eyes and said to Mother Yan, "Mother Yan asked someone to collect all the locusts still alive on the ground. It's useful!"

Mother Yan didn't understand what Liu Yueru wanted to do, but she still did it as she was told.

Tell Uncle Fu about this matter.

Uncle Fu is very efficient in his work, so this matter was handed over to him. Liu Yueru thought of the corpse found in Yuexinju a few days ago, and her eyes turned cold.

Take Yan's mother, Lixia Bailu and the others back.

But just when their carriage reached the gate of Yuexinju, they heard someone pointing in their direction and saying, "That's her. She looks weak and fragile. I heard that a female corpse was dug out from her flower bed. The person was already torn into pieces and buried in the flower bed. The method was really vicious. You should stay away from that woman in the future, lest she gets upset one day and breaks you into pieces and buries you in the flower bed."

"Didn't they report it to the police themselves? She doesn't look that stupid to report someone to the police after killing him."

"Who knows if the report to the police was fake? The wall of her house is so high that ordinary people can't get in, let alone hide a body quietly in the flowerbed in her yard."

The two spoke in low voices, but their voices still reached the ears of Liu Yueru and the others.

Liu Yueru turned around with extremely cold eyes, and her gaze was like an ice knife falling fiercely on them.

She opened her red lips and said, "I suspect you have something to do with this matter. Why don't we ask the government to come and take you back for interrogation?"

They were just ordinary women and had never dealt with government officials. When they heard Liu Yueru say this, their faces suddenly turned pale.

He waved his hands and explained: "This lady misunderstood. I, we were talking about someone else, not you. You heard it wrong."

As the woman spoke, she raised her hand and gently patted her mouth a few times.

But Liu Yueru's eyes were still cold, so he hardened his heart and tried harder.

"Pa, pa, pa!" The crisp sound of slapping rang in Liu Yueru's ears.

Liu Yueru frowned and said to them, "If I am guilty, the government will come to find me. If I hear you gossiping behind my back again, I will not let you off easily."

The two women who were originally arrogant were frightened by Liu Yueru's words and immediately knelt down and promised: "Yes, yes, yes, we will never dare to do it again in the future."

The words fell.

Liu Yueru didn't want to get entangled with them any longer, so she turned around and left.

When Mother Yan opened the door of Yue Xin Ju.

There was also a slight smell of blood coming from inside.

Liu Yueru looked at the flower pond with a dazed look on her face.

Mother Yan came forward and carefully served Liu Yueru.

Liu Yueru thought back to the days from when they met, lived together, and then became sisters. When they parted, she felt sad and reluctant even though she thought that they might never see each other again in this life.

But she didn't expect that they would meet again in this way.

Liu Yueru's eyes flushed slightly, and she said with a hoarse voice: "Mother Yan, if I hadn't let her leave at the beginning, perhaps this wouldn't have happened. It's my fault for not protecting her well."

Mother Yan supported Liu Yueru, with a sad look on her face: "My wife, don't be too sad. Everyone has their own destiny. Those people wanted to attack her. Even if you were watching her all the time..."

Liu Yueru sighed softly, her eyes becoming fierce: "Have the government found any clues? Have you found out who attacked her?"

Mother Yan said truthfully: "The government has asked several times, and they said they haven't found the murderer yet. Once they have the result, they will send someone to pass on the message."

Liu Yueru nodded slightly, understanding the hidden meaning of the officials' words.

They were chasing too closely, and Xie Jingrui was putting pressure on them. Those people were now so busy that they had no more energy to deal with other things.

"Don't send anyone to disturb them during this period of time." Liu Yueru warned.

Madam Yan asked, "She died miserably, and her head has not been found yet. I heard that it is difficult for a ghost to be reincarnated. Madam, do you want to go to Wanfu Temple to pray for her?"

Reminds me of Manpukuji Temple.

Ever since the last incident, Liu Yueru has felt annoyed with Wanfu Temple, always feeling that there are some unspeakable secrets hidden there!
