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

Chun Tao was furious when she heard this and was about to rush forward to argue with Li Erma, but Lin Yushu quickly pulled her back and said, "If you continue to be impulsive, go home!"

Chuntao was like a defeated rooster, with her head hung as she followed Lin Yushu through the crowd and continued walking forward.

Not far from the marriage proposal team was the county government office of Qingshan County.

Lin Yushu beat the drum loudly to appeal for justice, attracting people nearby to come and watch the fun.

"Who complains?"

The county magistrate came out from behind the screen yawning.

"I, Lin Yushu, am appealing for justice." Lin Yushu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The county magistrate knew the eldest daughter of the general's mansion. Qingshan County was not big, and the villa of the general's mansion could be regarded as the residence of the highest-ranking official.

However, Lin Yushu's father did not hold a high official position, and Lin Yushu was not liked by the old lady in the general's mansion, so she was raised on the farm at an early age.

Therefore, the county magistrate never took Lin Yushu too seriously.

"What grievance do you have?"

After all, the second master in the general's mansion was the Minister of Rites, and the county magistrate did not dare to treat Lin Yushu harshly.

"My daughter is suing Li Erma for attempted murder!"

Lin Yushu's sonorous and powerful voice stirred up a huge wave among the crowd watching the excitement.

Only by turning Li Erma's marriage proposal into a murder for money can Lin Yushu completely get rid of the stigma of infidelity in her previous life.

"What? Murder? Li Erma is so bold that he actually dares to kill someone?"

"Just now, Li Erma brought a group of people to the Lin Mansion's other courtyard to propose marriage, and he wanted to marry this young lady from the General's Mansion!"

"Hehe, I guess Li Erma was attracted by her beauty, and this young lady from the general's mansion was..."

"I think that's the case. Otherwise, why would Li Erma go to propose marriage, but Miss Lin comes to complain? She must have been forced, and she even talks about murder."

"Alas, a young lady from a wealthy family is shy. How can she openly express such a thing?"

There was a heated and excited discussion in the crowd. Chuntao was embarrassed and angry. Her face turned red and she bit her lips without saying a word.

Lin Yushu pretended not to hear anything and remained calm.

"Three days ago, I ran into Li Erma by the Qing Lake. Li Erma actually tried to strangle me to death. Because someone was passing by, he pushed me into the lake in a hurry and then ran away."

The county magistrate realized the seriousness of the matter. If Lin Yushu died in Qingshan County, even though she was an unpopular young lady, the general's mansion would never let it go easily for the sake of face.

The county magistrate immediately sent people to detain Li Erma. After a while, Li Erma was brought to the court, still wearing a bright red wedding dress.

After listening to the county magistrate's questions, he pretended to be angry and cursed Lin Yushu.

"Miss Lin, you are so ungrateful. I rescued you from the lake when you fell into the water that day! Not only did you not thank me, you even went so far as to bite Lu Dongbing!"

Li Erma turned to the county magistrate with an innocent look on his face.

"Sir, many people saw me going to the Lin family's villa to propose marriage early this morning. It was because I had physical contact with Miss Lin when I rescued her! If I really wanted to kill her, how could I ask to marry her?"

"I just saw Li Erma go to the Lin Mansion's courtyard to propose marriage in a very happy mood. The scene was as grand as a wedding."

"That's right, if Li Erma wanted to kill someone, why did he propose marriage today? It must be that Miss Lin doesn't like Li Erma, so she falsely accused him of murder after being touched. What a vicious woman's heart!"

"You're right. Look at Miss Lin's vixen-like appearance. She was born to seduce men. She has a high status and high standards. Naturally, she will marry a high-ranking man. There is no way she would fall for a hooligan like Li Erma."

The county magistrate was slightly shaken when he heard the gossip in the crowd.

He had already learned that Li Erma had come to propose marriage, and he looked down at Lin Yushu thoughtfully.

Lin Yushu is sixteen years old, with a slim and graceful figure and a charming and seductive appearance.

This kind of appearance would be considered undignified in a wealthy family and unsuitable for a position as the mistress of the house.

Li Erma was not good-looking and his character was not good either.

Could it be that Lin Yushu had physical contact with Li Erma after being rescued, but did not want to marry him, so she falsely accused Li Erma of murder?

Not far from the yamen gate, two men were sitting in a private room on the second floor of a small restaurant, watching the hustle and bustle in the yamen.

A man stood straight, wearing a bamboo green robe with gold woven on it, with clear features and a very dignified bearing. His slender fingers rested on the lid of a celadon teacup, and he nonchalantly looked at Lin Yushu who was standing in the lobby of the yamen.

Another person, wearing a yellow Suzhou embroidered brocade dress, sat opposite him with a playful smile on his face, teasing the person opposite him.

"Rong Jing, this girl is the one you rescued from the lake three days ago."

"Tsk tsk, last time she was soaked like a chicken and I didn't see her face clearly. I didn't expect that she was actually a graceful beauty. No wonder someone as cold-hearted as you could help her. Or maybe you have a sharp eye... um..."

The tea cake flying over from the other side blocked Shen Mutang's mouth, and the rest of his words were choked back.

Nan Rongjing said coldly, "Why did I save her? Can't you guess?"

Shen Mutang swallowed the tea cake in a hurry, his expression became serious, confused and surprised.

"Is it because of what's inside you?"

Nan Rongjing nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the slim figure again, his tone deep.

"I felt something moving inside me when she fell into the water. I guess she must have some connection to what's inside me."

Shen Mutang looked towards the entrance of the yamen worriedly.

"If that's the case, she can't get into trouble. Do you want to help solve her troubles?"

Nan Rongjing looked at Lin Yushu's sudden appearance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his whole body was indescribably evil and charming.

"It looks like we don't need any help."

In the court, just as the county magistrate showed hesitation, Lin Yushu spoke in a sad voice.

"Sir, if my daughter just fell into the water, then where did this injury come from?"

As she spoke, Lin Yushu pulled off the plain white scarf around her neck, revealing the horrific marks of strangulation on her neck. These were the injuries left when Lin Yushu hanged herself in the morning.

The purple-red marks wrapped around her slender, white neck were very eye-catching.

"Hiss, this..."

There was an uproar in the crowd.

The county magistrate signaled the coroner in the government office to come forward to examine the injuries, and the coroner carefully examined Lin Yushu's injuries.

Lin Yushu felt a little guilty. Three days ago, Li Erma had just grabbed her neck and was scared away by a passerby.

When Li Erma was escaping in a hurry, he pushed her into the lake, so Li Erma only left faint marks on her neck.

The marks on her neck were inflicted this morning. The injuries from three days ago and this morning could not be exactly the same.

However, Lin Yushu had already prepared an explanation, so even if the coroner found a flaw, she could still make sense of it.

She calmly accepted the coroner's examination, but in her heart she still hoped that the coroner was not well-trained and could not find the flaws.

The coroner's eyes froze, and he raised his head slightly while thinking and looking outside the yamen.

In just a moment, he lowered his head to report to the county magistrate.

"Sir, there are indeed marks on Miss Lin's neck from the hemp rope."
