The moon was at its zenith, but Linlang still hadn't returned. Ronglou was getting a little impatient and simply got up and went out to look for her. However, he met her outside the yard. She was walking towards him with her head down, so Ronglou simply stood there and waited.

Until she got close to him, Linlang still hadn't noticed him, which made Ronglu even more dissatisfied.

"Didn't you say you'd be back before dark?"

The sudden voice scared Linlang. After seeing who it was, she wanted to go up and tear his mouth apart.

"What are you doing so late at night?" Linlang covered her heart and patted it, comforting herself for a long time before she came to her senses.

It was too dark, and Linlang couldn't see the expression on Ronglou's face at the moment. Not wanting to argue with him any longer, she walked into the yard. Ronglou tried his best to control his temper, turned around and walked into the yard with her.

After returning to the room, Rong stepped forward and grabbed Linlang who was about to go to the inner room, saying impatiently, "Where have you been? You've been gone for two hours."

Linlang was also very impatient with him. She shook off his hand and deliberately lowered her voice, "I didn't do anything bad. It won't affect our situation. What does it have to do with you? Why are you so annoying?"

No wonder she was so tired. She had already been out for two hours. But fortunately, her efforts were not in vain. Thinking that she would be able to settle Fang Xiaotian tomorrow and fulfill her promise to Chu Min, Linlang was still very happy. She finally did not let Chu Min down.

Rong Lou frowned fiercely. He could tell that Lin Lang was very tired, but he still didn't want to give up.

"This trip is full of dangers. We are in the dark and our every move may be monitored. Can you please stop fooling around?"

Linlang glared at Ronglou. She was already regretting choosing him as her husband. She didn't expect that he was even more annoying than she thought.

"We have to face each other head on. There's nothing wrong with exposing ourselves early."

This sentence completely angered Rong Lou, and he immediately shouted: "I don't care about your nonsense on weekdays, but this time it won't work. If someone is hurt because of you, I will not let you go."

"Are you done?" Linlang was so tired that she had no temper left. Now she just wanted to go back to bed and sleep. "Shut up when you're done. I said no one found out, so no one found out. I still want to ask, are you being so timid and hoping that the young master of the Shenji Sect will smell the scent and come to you, or are you hoping that the people of Xiling will have a change of heart and throw the young master in front of you?"

"You'll have to face it sooner or later anyway, so why should you be so cautious? Aren't you afraid that someone will get there first?"

"Acting rashly, recklessly."

"Being indecisive and acting like a mean person."

Neither of them gave in, and they eventually parted on bad terms. Linlang went back to the inner room to rest, while Ronglou sulked at the table in the outer room. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He got up and went in to continue arguing with Linlang, but seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he became even angrier.

When Rong Lou appeared with a pair of dark blue eyes, Tang Mumu and Rong Yan were stunned. Linlang just glanced at him, snorted coldly, and continued to eat the steamed bun in her hand, not intending to make room for him.

Rong Lou didn't want to sit with her, so he walked over to Rong Yan and sat down.

"Brother, your eyes...did you two fight again last night? Are you injured?"

"Nothing, I just didn't get enough rest last night."

Tang Mumu's gaze shifted back and forth between Linlang and Ronglou. In the end, he just said "oh" and tactfully stopped talking.

"I have to go out for something today."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and the two parties looked at each other tacitly. Rong Yan and Rong Lou first looked at the two people with well-behaved faces, then looked at each other again, and then looked away tacitly.

"But is there something important?" Rong Yan was worried and asked what it was.

Tang Mumu looked at Linlang, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, she replied, "Nothing, I just met an annoying person yesterday, and I couldn't help but teach him a lesson. Today I went to see how he was doing and give him the antidote."

"You also poisoned?" Thinking of Tang Mumu's methods, Rong Yan couldn't help but take a breath.

"It's just some ordinary powder. It's no big deal. I'll give him the antidote today. It won't cause any trouble. Linlang and I will go together later."

The two of them felt relieved. After breakfast, Tang Mumu and Linlang went out together.

"Fang Hai should not be at home. You can go to the gambling house and try your luck. I have something else to do, so I won't go with you."

After Linlang finished speaking, she quickly stepped forward, and as expected, Tang Mumu followed.

"Are you going to see Xiaotian and her mother? In fact, you still care about their life and death. Your indifference yesterday was just an act, right?"

Hearing Tang Mumu's words, Linlang suddenly laughed, as if she had heard a joke.

"I feel like you don't know me very well. Although I'm not an unforgivable villain, I'm definitely not a saint with good intentions. Your Madam Chu is not doing well herself, so if she dies, it would be a relief. I really don't care whether she lives or dies."

"What about Xiaotian?" Tang Mumu's words made Linlang stop again, and then she continued, "I do feel that I don't know you very well now, but I believe in myself and you. You are not the kind of person who sits idly by when things happen. Last time you met Jiang Yu, you didn't abandon me and Achu. During this period of time, we have been together day and night. Even if I don't know the real you, I can feel that you are a kind person."

Tang Mumu didn't know why Linlang suddenly became different from before, but she was certain that no matter how she changed, she was still the loyal, chivalrous and open-minded woman she knew at the beginning.

"The incident with Jiang Yu happened because you guys got into trouble just to accompany me. I naturally can't just ignore it. I have only told you some of my inner thoughts during this period of time. I think you are a person worth making friends with, but this does not mean that you can interfere in my affairs and judge me as a person."

Tang Mumu noticed that Linlang was angry. Although she didn't know the reason, she was still unwilling to give up. She had taken the risk to follow them just to help everyone, and she didn't want to be separated from a woman like her.

"You are a little emotional now, you should calm down first. I suddenly feel that what you said makes sense. Fang Hai must still be in the gambling house. I will go to the gambling house first and see you later. We will meet at Xiaotian's house."

Tang Mumu smiled, turned around and walked away in the opposite direction. Watching her walk away, Linlang breathed a long sigh of relief. She raised her hand and saw blood on her palm seeping into the gaps between her fingers. Linlang frowned, walked to the water vat beside her, wet her handkerchief with water and wiped it clean. She tried hard to calm herself down before walking away along the same path as yesterday.

Tang Mumu walked around Shifang Pavilion but didn't find Fang Hai, so she had to go to Shifang Pavilion to ask.

Before Linlang entered the yard, she heard a child crying. Her heart tightened and she ran in quickly. Seeing that the wooden stick thrown by Fang Hai was about to hit Xiaotian, Linlang spun on her toes and flew quickly in the direction of Xiaotian, but another person got the child in his arms and dodged to the side.
