Lin Yushu looked down at the four patellae and a large pool of blood scattered on the ground and smiled slightly. This man was able to help her deal with the two assassins, so he was quite reliable.

Fortunately, she had done many chores in the villa with Chuntao over the years, so she didn't care about the dirt at the moment. She simply cleaned up the mess and lay on the bed to rest.

The turmoil that night caused her to have nightmares one after another, and she had a very hard time sleeping that night.

Early the next morning, before the cocks crowed, Nanny Li came with several maids and banged on the door aggressively.

"Miss, Miss! It's time to leave. We can't delay returning home!"

Nanny Li's roar became louder and louder, trying to drown out the chaos behind her.

Behind Nanny Li, Chuntao's face turned red with anger. She and Cuizhu were arguing with the old woman who was blocking the door. Shilan was trying to persuade them to reconcile, somewhat helplessly.

Lin Yushu calmly got up and dressed, tidying up her hair meticulously. She sneered in her heart, thinking that Nanny Li couldn't wait to see her injured.

The door opened, and Nanny Li couldn't hide the gloating in her eyes, "Did something happen to the young lady? She doesn't look well."

After saying that, he reached out and touched Lin Yushu's back.

Lin Yushu raised her hand and quickly opened Li Ma's hand. The fragrance of magnolia emanated from her sleeves. Li Ma immediately cried out "ouch" and fell to the ground, looking at Lin Yushu in disbelief. She obviously didn't expect Lin Yushu to hit her so hard that her whole arm was numb with pain.

Lin Yushu looked at Nanny Li in confusion, and said with gentle concern, "Nanny Li, what's wrong? Did my hand hurt you?"

A pair of snow-white, slender hands were spread out in front of everyone. No one believed that such weak hands could hurt Nanny Li.

Chuntao rushed over seriously, gave Nanny Li a cold look, and blew breath on Lin Yushu's hand, as if Lin Yushu's hand would break if it touched Nanny Li.

Nanny Li had no words to express her grievances. She brushed off the dust on her body and stood up, but she did not forget her business.

"A servant reported that he saw two assassins in black sneaking into the backyard last night. The servant was knocked unconscious by the assassins before he could make a sound."

Nanny Li hinted, "The servant said that the two assassins were heading towards the main house in the backyard..."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the old women started talking at once.

"That's not just for the young lady."

"The General's Mansion has always been famous, how could there be such a foolish thief to provoke it? It must have been the eldest lady who brought him here!"

"Everyone knows what she did in Qingshan County..."

"Look, there's a hole in the window!"

Several people exchanged a knowing look, and then looked at Lin Yushu, with undisguised contempt in their eyes. They believed that the assassin last night was looking for Lin Yushu to meet her privately, just like Li Erma who was rumored to have an ambiguous relationship with Lin Yushu.

"What are you talking about!"

Chun Tao's voice was trembling with anger.

"Which eye of yours saw the assassin enter the young lady's room? If you slander the master like this, I will report it to the old lady and I will sell you out!"

Shi Lan pulled Chuntao's hand soothingly, and together with Cuizhu, she protected Lin Yushu with a firm gaze.

Lin Yushu looked at the group of old women coldly, her tone quite authoritative.

"I didn't run into any assassins last night, and this window was already broken when I moved in yesterday. If anyone saw an assassin break into my house through the window, please come out and tell me in detail!"

He glanced over with sharp eyes, and the old women were so frightened that they shrank their necks and lowered their heads.

Nanny Li was stunned for a moment. She had heard the servants in the other courtyard say that this young lady was timid, dull and stupid.

He was very easy to fool yesterday, but today he seemed like a different person. The aura of a superior was so intimidating that they couldn't even raise their heads!

Nanny Li gritted her teeth and said, "Young lady, why do you have to threaten us servants? If you are a decent lady, let us search you. I am afraid..."

He looked at Lin Yushu with disdain and said, "I'm afraid they'll find some dirty stuff and your reputation will be ruined!"

In front of so many people, Lin Yushu actually repeatedly stopped them from entering the house. Nanny Li was certain that the assassins last night had succeeded. After all, the two assassins were people around the Second Madam and were very skilled in martial arts. Lin Yushu was just a weak and frail girl, and there was no way she could escape.

Nanny Li believed that Lin Yushu was just pretending to be strong in front of everyone, so it didn't matter if she couldn't touch her injured back. As long as she entered the house, she would definitely find clothes and bedding stained with blood. By then, Lin Yushu would have no choice...

Chun Tao rolled up her sleeves angrily and was about to rush over to fight with Nanny Li, but was held back by Shi Lan who was beside her.

Lin Yushu turned and nodded to Shi Lan in appreciation, then looked at Nanny Li, her calm tone mixed with curiosity.

"Although I haven't been in the mansion for many years, I still remember that the general's mansion has strict rules. I wonder who taught Li Ma to slander the master's rules without any evidence?"

Nanny Li's face tightened unconsciously. She felt confident again when she remembered her master's instructions and straightened her old waist which was almost bent by Lin Yushu's words.

"I am only concerned about the safety of the young lady. As long as she is safe and sound, you can do whatever you want with her afterwards."

Although the words were polite, how could a young lady who had no favor and no power deal with the old nanny who was a prominent figure in the mansion?

But since that was the case, Lin Yushu said without hesitation, "In that case, I'd like to trouble you all to come into the room and take a look. That will put your minds at ease."

Although Lin Yushu's words sounded meaningful, Nanny Li still breathed a sigh of relief. She kept wondering in her heart how a dull and stupid young lady could scare her so much that she dared not enter the house.

Before Nanny Li’s raised foot touched the ground, Lin Yushu suddenly seemed to remember something, “But…if nothing is found, Nanny Li will have to let me deal with you.”

Nanny Li turned her head sharply, almost spraining her neck. She stared at Lin Yushu in disbelief, and a fierce look appeared on her face, as if she was biting Lin Yushu between her teeth. She gritted her teeth fiercely, "Humph, of course!"

Lin Yushu led three maids and waited in the yard. Hearing the sound of rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the house, Chuntao was so angry that she was shaking all over. Lin Yushu kept comforting her.

After a whole incense stick of time, Nanny Li came out with a few other maids with bad faces. Nanny Li could not hide her surprise. She was still convinced that Lin Yushu must have a wound on her back, but she didn't know what means she had used to leave no trace of blood.

Lin Yushu smiled faintly. Nanny Li and the others only looked at the bed and clothes, and of course they could not find any clues. Who would have thought that the assassin last night was lying on the ground with a pool of blood, and the rag used to wipe the blood was thrown into the copper furnace by Lin Yushu last night and turned into ashes.

Feeling Nanny Li's eager gaze, Lin Yushu guessed that she was still not giving up, so she twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, pretending to be exhausted, and leaned her back against the tree trunk behind her, scaring Chuntao into a fuss.

Lin Yushu wiped the sweat from her forehead pretending to be weak while looking at Nanny Li's face which was distorted with disbelief, and the corners of her mouth could not hide the joy.

"Then what should I do with Nanny Li now?"
