Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

Lin Yushu was a little dazed as she looked at the crimson purse in her hand. She only remembered that in her previous life, after the Cao couple passed away, their son left the capital very soon.

It turned out that they actually had a daughter who was already married.

However, in her previous life, when Lin Yushu asked Chuntao to secretly help Mrs. Cao's son with the funeral, she had never heard of their daughter.

So, why didn’t their daughter come back to mourn when their parents died?

Lin Yushu hesitated and was about to ask about her daughter.

The little maid came in and reported: "Madam, the master has sent someone to pick you up."

Mrs. Cao nodded, turned around and patted Lin Yushu's hand kindly.

"It's such a coincidence that I met you today. If it were an hour later, I wouldn't be here anymore."

"Where are you going, ma'am?"

"My master went to Beijing to report on his work not long ago. I packed up the things in the old house and also went to Beijing. It was fate that I met you passing by here. If you return to the general's mansion, please remember to come and see me."

Lin Yushu nodded and agreed with a smile. Not daring to delay Mrs. Cao any longer, she quickly got up and said goodbye.

After leaving the inn, Lin Yushu did not walk back home, but turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

Chun Tao hurriedly followed, "Miss, this is not the direction to return home."

Lin Yushu kept walking, "I'm going to buy tofu."

“……” Chuntao was speechless.

It is already early winter and today is particularly cold. There are not as many pedestrians on the street as usual. People are walking hurriedly in the cold wind wrapped in thin cotton clothes.

Qingshan County is not very large, with two main streets crisscrossing each other. Occasionally, pedestrians stop in front of the scattered shops on the streets.

Lin Yushu tightened her thin clothes, walked quickly through the main street, and then walked around in the alleys, stopping and starting for about half an hour. Finally, Lin Yushu found her target in a small alley.

There were a few pieces of white and tender tofu on a small table, covered with several layers of thin gauze, and the fresh fragrance of tofu could be faintly smelled.

There was a small stool next to the table, and a sign that read "Chen's Tofu Shop" was leaning crookedly next to the stool.

Chuntao shouted towards the tightly closed door behind the table: "Is the owner here? Give me two pieces of tofu."

There were footsteps behind the door and a woman greeted them warmly.

"I'm coming."

The wooden door creaked open, and a round-faced middle-aged woman walked out from behind the cotton curtain. She was wearing a dark blue jacket and looked plump.

"Miss, you have good eyesight. My tofu is ground fresh every day. It is very fresh and delicious. How many pieces would you like?"

Lin Yushu walked past Chuntao and came in front of the woman, lowering her head as if she was picking tofu.

"Huh? You are..."

Lin Yushu looked up in confusion: "Do you know me?"

The woman smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Miss Lin was at the government office before... I happened to be nearby."

Lin Yushu didn't care: "It's just that some villain wanted to murder me, but I made you laugh."

The woman rubbed her broad palms, weighing Lin Yushu's expression, and felt a little nervous.

"Miss Lin is a lucky person, so the bad guys will not succeed, but..."

She hesitated and stammered, but Lin Yushu was not in a hurry. She just waited for her next words with a smile on her face.

"Hey! To be honest, my mother's family and Li Erma's family are neighbors. I watched him grow up. Although Erma has bad behavior, he is not very courageous. It is not his idea to kill people..."

"This is just a joke!"

Lin Yushu interrupted the woman harshly.

"Li Erma's crime was determined by the county magistrate. Do you think the county magistrate made a wrong judgment?"

“No, no…I didn’t mean that…” the woman stammered.

Lin Yushu changed the subject, as if she was chatting with a woman, with a hint of hesitation.

"But I don't know Li Erma, so naturally we have no grudge against each other. It's useless to kill someone without any grudge..."

The woman's eyes lit up slightly, and she quickly replied, "That's right. If you want money, it's fine, but if there's no grudge, why would you easily take someone's life?"

Lin Yushu nodded as if she was thinking.

"That being said, the case has already been decided, and Zhaodi's mother, Wang Pozi, hates Li Erma very much. This cannot be false. If Li Erma had not caused Zhaodi to be imprisoned, how could she have done this?"

After a pause, Lin Yushu said as if she suddenly remembered something: "Wang Po is going to the county magistrate to sue Li Erma again. She wants to increase his sentence and will definitely implicate Li Erma's family to relieve her hatred."

The woman was shocked when she heard this, her face turned pale, she hurriedly took two pieces of tofu for Lin Yushu, and left in a hurry.

Chuntao weighed the tofu in her hand and looked at the woman who left in a daze.

"This woman is so strange. Even Li Erma's family can't be implicated. Why is she so panicked?"

Lin Yushu looked at the woman's round back, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.

"Because she and Widow Jia were close friends, she naturally cared about her friend's life and death."

"They actually have such a relationship. I have never heard of it before."

Chuntao was extremely surprised and wondered how the young lady knew everything.

Lin Yushu smiled but said nothing. This was the news she had accidentally obtained in her previous life. However, she did not know the relationship between Widow Jia and Li Erma at that time, so she did not take it to heart.

The memories of the previous life were complicated and confusing, and it took Lin Yushu a long time to remember such a subtle thing.

The master and servant carried two pieces of fresh tofu and walked through the streets towards the villa. Lin Yushu's face looked pale due to her frail body, but she smiled with satisfaction in the cold wind.

She has done what she should do. Let's see what happens in the general's mansion and the villa in the capital in the next few days.

Just as Lin Yushu had expected, that night, Widow Jia paced back and forth in the dim and dilapidated little house, at a loss.

Ever since she heard what her good friend Chen said, she felt as if she had thorns on her body and was uneasy.

Just when Widow Jia was panicking, the leaky wooden door in the room made a creaking sound, as if someone was strangling her neck.

Widow Jia ran to the door in two steps and looked at the person wrapped in black clothes who had just walked into the room. She was so anxious that she almost bit her tongue.

"You're finally back, something big has happened!"

The man showed only a pair of rat eyes. He raised his hand to remove the black scarf covering his face, revealing a sickly face covered with pockmarks and pitted wounds.

Li Erma said impatiently: "Aunt, why are you panicking? I just went out to get some information. What big deal can happen?"

Since being rescued from prison, Li Erma has been hiding in the shabby house of the man that Widow Jia used to love.

The man who had an affair with Widow Jia was away on a business trip these days, so Li Erma stayed there with peace of mind.

In recent days, Qingshan County has been peaceful and no one knows that he and Zhaodi had escaped from prison long ago.

Seeing that his wounds were almost healed, Li Erma remembered what the man who rescued him from prison said. He was worried that the master behind Wang Po would hunt him down, so he went out to Qiaozhuang to gather information for the past two days.

Unexpectedly, the county was still so peaceful. Li Erma couldn't help but think that maybe Wang Po's master had forgotten him.

Unexpectedly, Widow Jia's next words completely shattered Li Erma's hope.
