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

Nanny Li stared with her eyes wide open and her mouth half open, looking shocked as she stared at Lin Yushu's back leaning against the tree trunk, muttering involuntarily.

"How can it be……"

The hard and rough tree trunk pressed against her back, causing a rough pain. Lin Yushu pressed against the tree trunk almost in a self-abuse manner, which made her mind clear.

Seeing that Nanny Li remained silent, her face frozen as if covered with frost, Lin Yushu's smile gradually disappeared, "Is Nanny Li lying to me?"

The surprise on Nanny Li's face had not yet faded, and Lin Yushu's slightly cold words pierced her ears. Nanny Li looked at the weak and beautiful woman under the tree from afar, and as if she was summoned, her legs involuntarily walked over.

When she realized that she was kneeling in front of Lin Yushu, Nanny Li regained consciousness a little, and looked up at Lin Yushu in confusion.

Looking down at Nanny Li's dull face, Lin Yushu smiled gently.

"Madame Li is Grandmother's right-hand man. How can I punish her without authorization?"

As she spoke, Lin Yushu raised her hand and patted Nanny Li's shoulder twice as if to comfort her. She then took out a white cotton handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from Nanny Li's forehead. Nanny Li knelt motionlessly with her back to the crowd, looking at Lin Yushu blankly, as if unable to understand what she said.

"But the rules of the General's Mansion cannot be violated..."

Lin Yushu's voice gradually became lower, and she nodded to Nanny Li from time to time, as if asking for Nanny Li's opinion.

The maids behind Nanny Li, who had been indifferent, stood up straight when they saw what was happening. A few of the brave ones even poked their heads out to eavesdrop on what Lin Yushu and Nanny Li were saying.

There were faint sporadic words floating in the air.

"That's good... um... I'll listen to Mammy..."

Lin Yushu waved the handkerchief in her hand, signaling Li Ma to leave. Li Ma changed her usual domineering attitude and stood up obediently behind Lin Yushu.

"You didn't know right from wrong and broke into the young lady's room without permission. Such an outrageous act should be severely punished, but the young lady is kind and considerate. She thought that you were deceived by lies and it was unintentional, so she decided to give you a light punishment but a heavy warning."

Chuntao held her head high and spoke loudly. The old women looked at each other, as if they found Chuntao's words unbelievable and even ridiculous.

"Except for Madam Li, all the maids will be beaten with twenty lashes of the cane, and the gatekeepers and servants will be beaten with forty lashes of the cane, to serve as a warning to others."

After Chuntao finished speaking, silence fell in the courtyard until an old woman burst into laughter. The buzzing laughter and whispers broke the tranquility of the courtyard.

"Madame Li, what do you say?"

A bold old woman asked Li Ma Ma with her neck stiffened.

Nanny Li lowered her head and her expression could not be seen clearly. Her tone was very submissive, "It's up to the eldest lady to decide."

The old women had no time to be surprised before they were pinned to the ground by the servants Chuntao had called in.

Even if the servants took action because of Madam Li's words, Chuntao didn't care at this moment. She pointed at the wailing and cursing maids and said angrily: "Beat them! Beat them hard!"

The heavy boards fell with a crackling sound, and the howling and wailing drowned out the entire Wangshan Village. The blood gradually dyed the clothes of the old women red. The blood spots scattered on the white snow in the yard looked like plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter, which was very beautiful.

Chuntao helped Lin Yushu around the unconscious old women and returned to the main room. In the outer room, Shilan and Cuizhu began to pack their bags so that they could go to Beijing today.

"These bastards who rely on others for power are too lucky to be given only 20 lashes!"

Chun Tao felt even more unsatisfied, "Young lady, why did you let that Madam Li go? She was clearly the culprit... and... why did Madam Li become so obedient to Young lady's orders?"

The hot tea in her hand dispelled the coldness. The warm tea flowed into her limbs and bones, and Lin Yushu's cold face gradually melted.

"Because the Soul-Snatching Powder took away her consciousness, making her obey my orders for a short period of time and unable to resist."

Chuntao nodded as if she understood. Although she didn't understand how Lin Yushu could make such a strange poison, as long as her young lady was safe, nothing else mattered.

Soul-Capture Powder is a strange poison recorded in the Poison Sutra. The medicinal materials needed to refine it are very complex, including extremely precious herbs.

In his previous life, even when Nan Huaishuo was in a high position of power, he was still unable to gather all the medicinal herbs.

At that time, Lin Yushu seemed to have been drugged by Nan Huaishuo and was willing to do anything for him.

She tried countless herbs and failed countless times before she finally found a formula that could replace the Soul-Snatching Powder.

However, the effectiveness of the soul-capturing powder refined in this way is greatly reduced. Not only is it slow to take effect and its duration is short, but the behavior of the poisoned person will also be sluggish and numb.

It is far inferior to the Soul-Captivating Powder in the Poison Sutra. The poison will take effect immediately on the poisoned person, and he will obey the instructions of the first person who speaks to him. His behavior is flexible and closer to the real person.

Lin Yushu took advantage of the moment when Nanny Li's hand was opened to poison her with Soul-Captivating Powder. The Soul-Captivating Powder did not take effect on Nanny Li until the maids finished searching the house.

When she saw that Nanny Li's eyes began to become dull, Lin Yushu spoke to her immediately, letting Nanny Li hear her voice first, to ensure that Nanny Li would be captivated by her.

The old women who had been beaten to pieces woke up one after another. Their curses could be vaguely heard, as well as Nanny Li's puzzled arguments and scoldings.

When the person whose soul has been possessed regains consciousness, his memory is like freshly boiled porridge, and each grain of what happened is still clear, but the impression in their minds is vague.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of these old women, Nanny Li was bribed by Lin Yushu for some reason and tricked them.

The corners of Lin Yushu's lips curled up slightly, like a ray of sunshine breaking through the thick clouds, so dazzling that people could not look directly at it.

After returning to Beijing, she was afraid that every step would be dangerous, so she was happy to accept the opportunity given by her second aunt if she could make arrangements in advance to prevent any accidents.

Even though the maids were seriously injured, they did not dare to delay Lin Yushu's return to Beijing. Not long after, the servants came to report that they could set off.

After a heavy snowfall last night, the official road leading into Beijing was covered with thick ice and snow, making it impossible for carriages to pass.

Seeing that the tasks assigned by the old lady and the second lady had been messed up, Nanny Li put away the little politeness she had shown to Lin Yushu.

Without saying hello to Lin Yushu and her servant, he changed his route, bypassing the official road and traveling along the mountain path.

Chuntao angrily pulled down the cotton curtains, and a gust of cold air rushed into the carriage, causing Cuizhu to sneeze.

"Miss, they changed their route and left without even informing you!"

"What good would it do to inform them? We have never left Qingshan County in all these years. How could we know which road they took?"

"Miss, this road is a shortcut to Beijing, but it is extremely rugged and close to the cliff, so official carriages rarely use it."

Shi Lan was clever and capable. She had been to the general's mansion in the capital once with the old nanny from the other courtyard, so she knew the way.

"Near the cliff..."

Lin Yushu murmured, so that's how it is, if Second Aunt failed to hit the target with her first strike, she must have a backup plan.

But she didn't expect that her methods became more and more violent, and she treated her enemies in the same way. At this time, Lin Yushu was just a niece she hadn't seen for many years.

That’s great. Thank you, Second Aunt. They are still so ruthless and haven’t changed. Lin Yushu can rest assured now!
