When Mitui learned that Song Jinyu was going out, she asked an extra question and originally wanted to stop her.
Because the prince disliked her meeting other men very much. But... she was also an eyewitness to the tragic massacre of the Lin family. Therefore, she had no choice but to follow her.
He Shuyi, wearing a black veil hat, watched sinisterly as Song Jinyu got into the carriage and headed out of the city. "Song Jinyu, today is your day of death!"
"Miss... don't you think it's a bit strange?"
Mitui finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She was very worried that if Prince Yu found out, he would be extremely angry.
Song Jinyu smiled faintly. "I know..."
First of all, Lin Yijun wouldn't dare to write her a letter. Of course, it was not impossible that he did. But there were too many loopholes in this letter. Although she had never seen Lin Yijun's handwriting, Song Jinyu knew that ordinary men wouldn't use the delicate "Zan Hua Xiao Kai" calligraphy style.
Even if this was not the real "Zan Hua Xiao Kai" but a deliberately changed font.
Mitui was greatly shocked. "Then why did you still come out!" She wanted to say that if the prince knew, he would probably be unhappy again.
Song Jinyu said indifferently, "I just want to see who that person is. Whoever dares to use the Lin family to lure me deserves to die..." She shook the bottle of knockout powder in her hand, and her eyes became even more fierce.
Lin Ziyu died so innocently, yet she was still used by someone with ulterior motives! After ruling out many people, Song Jinyu gradually became clear about who was the one trying to set a trap for her.
This time, she didn't want to forgive certain people easily anymore.
Cheng Song drove the carriage on the narrow mountain road. There were wild grasses all the way, and there was no sign of human habitation. The weather was cold, and most people had already huddled in their houses and refused to come out.
Niaoniao calmly took out the crossbow and rubbed it carefully. Mitui felt a bit uncomfortable. At first, she only thought that Song Jinyu was going to the meeting.
But she didn't expect that she was actually setting a trap to lure the enemy. She couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. This was also something the prince didn't allow!
"Get out of the way... get out of the way..." A group of horsemen appeared in front of the road. Cheng Song made way expressionlessly.
Unexpectedly, after they rode past, they didn't go far but surrounded the carriage instead!
"People in the carriage, stop!"
Song Jinyu didn't say a word. Niaoniao said seriously, "How dare you! We are the family members of the governor of Liuzhou and the general of the Tiger Guards..."
"Which fool dares to block our young lady's carriage!"
The leader of the bandits leered and said, "I've long heard that Miss Song is as beautiful as a celestial being. Why don't you come out and let us feast our eyes."
Song Jinyu played with the medicine bottle in her hand. This medicine was very precious, and it was a bit of a waste to use it on a few petty thieves.
Before the bandit leader could finish laughing, Cheng Song immediately took action. Within five moves, he dislocated the arms of several bandits.
"Those who dare to be disrespectful to the young lady deserve to die!"
Seeing this, the black - clothed person not far away didn't dare to step forward anymore. How could the people around Song Jinyu be so powerful?
She vaguely regretted it. She originally wanted to capture Song Jinyu today and ruin her. But unexpectedly, these bandits were one stupider than the other.
Just as she was about to sneak away, she found that her escape route was blocked.
A majestic voice sounded, "Where do you think you're going?"
Prince Yu, why was he here? He Shuyi stared wide - eyed in disbelief.
Song Jinyu's carriage also arrived. Qingfeng used his sword to knock off He Shuyi's veil, leaving a bloody mark on her face. "Ah..."
Zhongli Mingye didn't waste any words on He Shuyi. He walked straight towards Song Jinyu and complained, "You don't need to handle this kind of thing yourself."
"I just want to see who dares to use the name of the Lin family to set a trap for me." Song Jinyu looked at He Shuyi coldly, as if looking at a dead person.
"So it's you?"
He Shuyi looked at them nervously. The temperature was extremely low on this winter day, and she had been waiting for a long time, so she was shivering all over. But the current situation made her tremble even more.
"He Shuyi... Lin Ziyu died so miserably... Your actions are really hateful!" Song Jinyu's gaze was far - reaching. She remembered that cute and innocent girl who was only in her teens when she was killed.
She was still used by others after her death. It was really unforgivable.
He Shuyi was speechless and slumped to the ground. "It's all because of you. You took away everything that belonged to me! You made me unable to hold my head up in Liuzhou City!" The hatred in her words was even stronger than the cold winter.
Song Jinyu suddenly laughed.
"Every person who harms others will always find a bunch of reasons to convince themselves."
"But they just refuse to admit their own inherent meanness!"
She gently took out a handkerchief and waved it in front of He Shuyi. "Since that's the case, go to hell!" He Shuyi's eyes gradually lost their focus.
Just as Song Jinyu was about to take action herself to end He Shuyi, Zhongli Mingye grabbed her. "Be careful. Don't dirty your hands. I'll take care of it."
Seeing that she was in a very bad mood, Prince Yu first asked Mitui to take her away.
When he got the news about Song Jinyu today, originally he didn't want to come himself. But in the end, he was still worried. Although he knew that there were many capable people around her.
After much thought, he arranged, "Put them all in jail and execute them immediately. Leave no roots of trouble!"
Then he seemed to remember something. "Send the body back to the He Mansion..."
In the evening, He Shuyi's body appeared in the back yard of the He Mansion. Mrs. He saw with her own eyes that her daughter, who was lively and kicking yesterday, was now a cold corpse.
She was immediately driven crazy!
He Shuda was so frightened that his legs were shaking. Only Lord He remained calm. He took out a letter from the body.
In this letter, it was clearly written that He Shuyi had befriended the mountain bandits and planned to lead them into Liuzhou City to ruin the innocence of other noble ladies one by one.
Lord He slumped to the ground. "Oh, God! What did I do wrong?"
He cried and howled crazily. Others thought he was crying for his daughter, but they didn't know that he was mourning the fate of the He family!
Thinking of Lin Ziyu, Song Jinyu was in a very bad mood. The next day, she went to offer a stick of incense to her to console Lin Ziyu's spirit in heaven.
Coincidentally, Lin Yijun also came to the ancestral hall to offer incense to his family.
"Thank you, Miss Song..."
The woman in front of him had a brief acquaintance with him. Although they had no fate, she was the white moonlight in Lin Yijun's heart.
Song Jinyu lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in them. "Mr. Lin, you're welcome." After saying that, she bid farewell and left.
When they passed by each other, Lin Yijun closed his eyes. Maybe this was their closest encounter.
