Gu Qinlan stared at the tombstone, pursed her lips gently, lit the incense, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the tombstone several times, and then said:

"Mother, I want to find out the truth. If it is a lie, I am willing to kowtow and admit my mistake. If it is the truth, I will not let the murderer escape easily. Please forgive me for my unfilial behavior."

After he finished speaking, Gu Qinlan stood up, motioned Xiang Zhu to stick the lantern on the tree, and then said in a firm tone:

“Get digging!”

The three worked together, and along with the smell of soil, the tomb was gradually uncovered...

Soon, a scarlet coffin appeared in front of everyone!

"what!"

Xiang Zhu let out a terrified scream, then quickly covered her lips, a look of fear in her eyes, and pointed at the coffin with trembling fingers.

The coffin was covered in blood, and its surface was covered with mysterious yellow talismans. It was tightly bound by a string of sturdy iron chains. On the coffin lid, there were actually six soul-calming nails nailed into it to suppress the soul!

Gu Qinlan's eyes fell solemnly on the coffin, and her steps stumbled a few steps involuntarily. Wocan quickly reached out to help and asked with concern:

"Miss, are you okay?"

Gu Qinlan's eyes were already bloodshot. In fact, she didn't need to see it with her own eyes, she already knew in her heart - there must be something strange behind her mother's death!

If there is nothing unusual, why use the soul-soothing nail? The soul-soothing lock? The soul-soothing talisman?

How frightened must the person who killed her mother be to take such triple protection?

Gu Qinlan's body trembled violently with anger.

She had known nothing about this for all these years!

Watching my mother being suppressed underground like this, my soul cannot be liberated!

Gu Qinlan's body trembled. She tightly grasped Wocan's arm and gritted her teeth as she gave the order:

"Smash it open! Smash it all!"

Wocan and Xiangzhu looked at each other, with helplessness and heartache in their eyes, but in the end they did not go against Gu Qinlan's wishes.

"Miss, please don't move. Xiang Zhu and I will start right away."

Gu Qinlan did not refute what Eye Bag said.

It's not that she was unwilling to do it herself, but at this moment she felt a rush of blood to her head, her whole body was trembling, and her limbs were weak, so she was unable to help at all.

Wocan swung his sword and quickly cut the chain. Then he hurried forward and tore off the yellow talismans one by one.

After the two of them worked together to pull out the soul-suppressing nail, the coffin lid finally loosened.

When Wocan and Xiangzhu worked together to open the coffin lid, their faces had turned pale. They turned around and saw Gu Qinlan slowly walking to the edge of the grave.

Xiang Zhu and Wo Can quickly helped her down into the pit.

Gu Qinlan looked inside the coffin.

The body was already decayed, and only a skeleton remained.

however……

The skeleton was completely black and emitted a disgusting stench.

Gu Qinlan's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she fell directly to the ground.

"Miss!"

Wocan and Xiangzhu hurriedly wanted to help Gu Qinlan up, but she raised her hand to stop them. Her body trembled continuously and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Miss! What's wrong with you?"

"Miss! Don't scare us!"

Wocan and Xiangzhu were horrified when they saw this scene. Their eyes were red and they held onto Gu Qinlan tightly, their faces full of anxiety.

Gu Qinlan knew her own situation and was so angry that her heart was breaking.

How could she not be angry?

"Do you know? That is a poison called Acacia Heartbreak Powder. Mother was poisoned by it!"

Gu Qinlan held Wocan and Xiangzhu's hands tightly, her voice trembling and sad.

After hearing this, Wocan's face suddenly changed, and he said in surprise:

"Love-breaking Heart Powder? People who are poisoned by this kind of poison will feel weak all over and feel as if they are being bitten by thousands of ants! The tendons and veins in the body will break inch by inch, and the internal organs will rot bit by bit, but there will be no abnormality on the outside..."

The three of them fell into silence.

This Acacia Heartbreak Powder is the most cruel poison in the world! Even compared to the Patchouli Wolfsbane that Xinyi Shewu was poisoned with, it is even worse.

All poisons in the world are intended to take life.

But this lovesickness powder is completely different!

Its main purpose is to make the poisoned person suffer.

The poisoned person suffers unimaginable pain day after day, and his life is consumed bit by bit until he dies miserably.

What kind of deep hatred could make the murderer commit such a cruel crime against her mother?

"Qinlan, you must grow up healthily and happily."

"My daughter Qinlan is so beautiful that she is a match for any outstanding man in the world."

"I am willing to exchange the blessings of three lifetimes for Qin Lan's smooth life."

"Qin Lan..."

My mother's advice seems to still echo in my ears, and every word is permeated with her endless love for her.

Gu Qinlan's eyes became red and tears gradually overflowed. Even breathing made her feel heart-wrenchingly painful.

The grief in her heart was not only because someone had poisoned her mother, but also because, even though her mother had suffered from the poison, she was still gentle and considerate to her every time she came.

How did that seemingly fragile woman’s body manage to endure the physical torture with such strong willpower without showing any sign in front of her?

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom"!

A thrilling flash of lightning streaked across the sky!

In an instant, the sky and the earth became as bright as day!

Immediately afterwards, with a "crash", heavy rain poured down.

Gu Qinlan finally couldn't hold back anymore, threw herself on the coffin and burst into tears.

She has the ability to dissolve that lovesickness powder!

But why did she learn the truth too late?

Why did fate allow her to be reborn but not before her mother's death?

In the pouring rain, Gu Qinlan let her tears flow like a flood.

Wocan and Xiangzhu felt heartbroken when they saw this scene.

The eldest daughter of their family has been dignified, polite and extremely intelligent since childhood. It seems that there is nothing in the world that she cannot overcome.

Even after marrying into Prince Duan's Mansion and facing a completely unfamiliar environment, the eldest lady was still able to remain calm and composed.

She respects her elders, cares for her juniors, and is dignified and virtuous, which is praised by everyone in the world.

However, such a seemingly strong woman was so sad at the moment that even when she was crying, she had to use the sound of rain and thunder to cover it up!

Thinking of this, Wocan and Xiangzhu felt as if their hearts were being cut by a knife. They couldn't help but shed tears in their eyes and stayed silently by Gu Qinlan's side.

After a while, Gu Qinlan slowly stood up and weakly instructed Wocan and Xiangzhu:

"Restore the coffin and grave to their original condition."

"Restore it to its original state? Miss, don't you plan to rebury the lady's body? Those iron nails..."

Xiang Zhu looked at Gu Qinlan with some surprise and asked cautiously.

"No, I have to restore everything to its original state. I can't alert the murderer. I will make the murderer treat my mother the same way. I will dig her out of the mud bit by bit myself!"

Gu Qinlan returned to Prince Duan's Mansion in a carriage.

As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw two yellow lanterns hanging in front of the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion swaying slightly.

On the steps under the lanterns, Zheng Dinglian sat in a wheelchair with Zheng Huiyi in his arms.

Zheng Fenghui and Zheng Fengyun sat on the steps nearby, supporting their heads with their hands, dozing off in a daze.

"Mother is back!"

Zheng Huiyi was the first to discover Gu Qinlan. She immediately jumped off Zheng Dinglian's legs excitedly and pounced on Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan's clothes were soaked by the rain. Seeing Zheng Huiyi rushing towards her, she quickly stretched out her fingers to gently cover her forehead and said in a hoarse voice:

"Don't hug me, my mother is wet..."
