If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Mrs. Lu opened her mouth, but her throat was so hoarse that she couldn't speak.

She stared at Shen Suian, motioning Shen Suian to bring her tea.

Unfortunately, Shen Sui'an was like a blockhead, standing there blankly, just looking at Mrs. Lu with concern.

"Ma'am, you are awake, how do you feel?"

Mrs. Lu's throat was dry and hoarse, and she glared at her hatefully.

Hong Xing hurriedly brought the tea over and fed it into Mrs. Lu's mouth bit by bit.

Shen Sui'an spoke softly, "It's good that Madam has woken up. My daughter-in-law was just discussing with Miss Hong Xing whether someone should take the severed arm to report to the police. I think the Zhenfu Division will investigate the case faster..."

"However, Hong Xing doesn't trust the Pacification Office and seems to want to report to Jingzhao Prefecture."

Hong Xing's face turned pale in an instant.

"Madam, I didn't do that. I said I can't report it to the authorities." Hong Xing said hurriedly.

Mrs. Lu coughed a few times and swallowed. Her throat was no longer so dry. She said hoarsely, "No need to report to the police."

"How can that be? The criminals are so rampant that they chopped off a person's arm and sent it to the ancestral temple in the middle of the night to scare you. What if the next time they send you a human head?" Shen Sui'an said hurriedly.

Hong Xing said softly, "Madam, please don't say such things again or you'll scare the Madam."

I had such a big fright yesterday. If I get scared again, I don’t know what disease I will get.

Shen Sui'an sighed, "I'm telling the truth."

"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Lu asked angrily.

She didn't want to see Shen Suian at all.

Shen Sui'an said, "I heard that the wife was frightened and sick, so my daughter-in-law rushed over to take care of her. I didn't expect it to be such a serious matter. The wife didn't want to report it to the authorities, so she asked someone to tell her husband. He is the commander of the Pacification Division, and he will definitely be able to find out who sent the severed arm."

Mrs. Lu's eyes twitched uncontrollably, and the bloody broken arm beside her pillow yesterday appeared in her mind.

Although she had changed rooms, she still felt a disgusting smell of blood beside her pillow.

"If I say it's not necessary, then it's not necessary!" Mrs. Lu's tone was already very bad.

Shen Sui'an didn't understand. What was the first wife afraid of because she refused to report to the police?

Does she not want others to know that she became sick because of the broken arm, or does she not want people to find out how she got the broken arm?

Perhaps, he was afraid to let people know who the broken arm belonged to.

"Go back. I don't need you to take care of me." Mrs. Lu drove Shen Sui'an away.

She was so frightened by the broken arm yesterday that she was still terrified, but now she has been able to force herself to calm down.

This severed arm must have been sent by Lu Yuan. He did this because he knew that it was the Bai family's assassins who wanted to assassinate him.

What a great Lu Yuan!

Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth in hatred, but she couldn't show it in front of Shen Sui'an.

But she couldn't let anyone know that the Bai family had hired assassins, and she couldn't let anyone know that the assassins entered the city at this time to kill court officials.

She cursed Bai Shaohong as an idiot a hundred times in her heart.

He couldn't even do such a simple thing, but he chose to kill Lu Yuan in the city and even mobilized his assassins.

"Madam, are you okay?" Shen Sui'an felt that Mrs. Lu's complexion seemed to be worse.

"It's okay." Mrs. Lu said coldly.

She didn't want to see Shen Sui'an. Once she saw her, she would remember that it was her insistence on canceling the engagement that led to Lu Heng being given the marriage and suffering the retribution he is facing now.

She wanted to kill Shen Sui'an, the culprit, immediately.

"In that case, I won't bother you here, Madam." Shen Sui'an sighed softly.

He turned around and frowned at Hong Xing, "Hurry up and have someone deal with the broken arm, and don't scare the Madam anymore."

Hong Xing was angry but dared not say anything, she just lowered her head and agreed.

Shen Sui'an said a few more words with great concern. In the increasingly impatient eyes of Mrs. Lu, she stammered, "Madam, I shouldn't have said that."

"The old lady wants to give my father-in-law a concubine, hoping that he can give birth to another child for the Lu family..."

Mrs. Lu's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Shen Sui'an with anger.

"Madam, you should take good care of your health." Shen Sui'an sighed.

After saying this, she left with her head shaken helplessly, not even trying to see if Mrs. Lu would be so angry that she would vomit blood.

Mrs. Lu let out a strange sneer from her throat.

"You still want to have a son? Forget it!"

……

……

After leaving the ancestral temple, Shen Sui'an got on the carriage and left.

She called Fuqiu over and said, "The eldest wife has a courtyard in Yueer Mountain. Song Xiuzhi may be hiding there. Tell Concubine Yao about it."

This was a manor that the eldest wife had kept secret, and Shen Sui'an discovered it by accident in his previous life.

It is not easy to find if you don't look carefully.

I believe that Concubine Yao must have begun to suspect that Princess Guangning’s humiliation was related to Song Xiuzhi.

Song Xiuzhi almost died at the hands of the princess, she definitely wanted revenge.

After the incident at the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Mrs. Lu completely took off her mask of being indifferent to the world.

No matter how you look at it, they are suspicious.

"Yes, young lady."

"By the way, Madam, in addition to Concubine Yao's people, there is another group of people also looking for the whereabouts of Song Xiuzhi and her daughter." Fuqiu said.

Shen Sui'an chuckled, "That must be Lu Heng. He was afraid that his daughter would be murdered, so he wanted to take her away."

"Let Concubine Yao find Song Xiuzhi before Lu Heng's people do." Shen Suian said.

Fuqiu responded in a low voice.

When Shen Sui'an returned to the Lu family, it was already late, so she did not go to the West Market again, but went to the upper room to tell the old lady the cause of Mrs. Lu's illness.

The old lady frowned and said, "She must have offended someone again."

Upon hearing this, Duke Lu said coldly, "The ancestral temple is a sacred and solemn place. She cannot do whatever she wants there."

"Third brother's wife, please ask the third brother to investigate this matter."

With a dark face, he said to the old lady, "You should discipline your daughter-in-law and stop being busy with unnecessary things."

"I am now busy with the Lu family's top priority." Old Madam Lu said righteously.

Shen Suian brought up the point, and the other matters had nothing to do with her.

After returning to Danboyuan, she immediately called Shi Qing.

"When the young master came back last night, was there blood on his body?" Shen Sui'an asked.

Shi Qing replied, "Madam, the young master encountered an assassin on his way back, but he was not injured."

Shen Suian pursed her lips. Lu Yuan didn't say anything to her.

"Go to the Pacification Office and ask the young master to come back tonight." Shen Suian frowned.

Seeing that Shen Suian seemed a little angry, Shi Qing did not dare to waste time and immediately went to the Zhenfu Division in person.

However, he did not find Lu Yuan in the Zhenfu Division.

Lu Yuan was invited by the Southern Dynasty envoy He Jingyao to drink at Yipinlou.

"Who else did the Southern Dynasty envoy invite to go with him?" Shen Sui'an asked.

"There is also the second prince, Marquis Jingning." Shi Qing replied.

Shen Sui'an nodded gently and took out a bottle of pills. "Go and serve the young master. These are the pills prepared by Doctor Zhou. Just give them to the young master."

Could it be a hangover pill? The young master never seems to get drunk when he goes out drinking.
