In Wu City Prefecture's yamen.

Wang Dong worriedly looked at the emaciated Su Mu lying on the bed and said, ”You still haven't recovered from your loss, but that sounds too … …” Sir Lin said that they might set off in two days, heading to the next county. From what I see, we shouldn't stay here with them. If we stay here, we can rest for a few more days, so that you can continue to recuperate. ”

Su Mu knew that Wang Dong was worried about her health, but she didn't want to give up on Lin Yi, a ship that was floating in the ocean. Perhaps, she had seized this opportunity to make the Su family look normal.

”I'm fine. I think a lot of people know about our investigation in Wu City. If we chase after the soldiers, it would be hard for us to escape.” Moreover, if we don't go with them this time, we might never encounter such a good opportunity again in the future. Defend, I don't want to give up this opportunity, I want to avenge my parents and brother. ” When Su Mu mentioned this, unavoidably, his eyes became moist.

This was the first time Su Mu told Wang Yu his thoughts in such a straightforward manner.

Wang looked at the young girl in front of him, who had just turned 30 not long ago. Her frame was so thin that it could not fit into her body. Her entire face was no longer as round and glossy as it was in the capital, and it looked like it had lost its shape.

She said lightly, ”Wei Zhi, when I tried that case today, I couldn't help but think that there shouldn't be a person like Zhu Chusheng, who would tolerate the murder of his mother's unfilial son. I also didn't believe that there would be someone as loyal as Mother Liu who would poison himself for their master.”

”However, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in my mind. Like that poison, I imprisoned you, causing you, who was supposed to be married and set up a business, to hide and flee with me like a wanderer …”

”Su Mu, you don't have to say all this. We grew up together, and I treated you like my own sister. I was already on good terms with my father, so how can I stand idly by when something happens to the Su family?” Wang Mu interrupted Su Mu and said, ”I understand what you mean. No matter what you choose in the future, I will definitely help you until the Su Clan goes down the drain. Just take care of your health and don't think too much about it. ”

Wang Dong left the bedroom, leaving behind an independent space for Su Mu to rest in.

His right hand took out the red string jade pendant from his neck and muttered, ”Father, Mother, if both of you are alive, then help You'er find the real culprit as soon as possible and help the Su Clan fight back.”

Wang Yu, who was waiting in the courtyard, paced back and forth.

He came to the courtyard to wait for Lin and Bao to return. He wanted to ask them if he could stay two more days before leaving. He really couldn't bear for Su Mu to drag his sick body along.

In the end, before anyone could return to the residence, a bailiff rushed in from the front yard.

From far away, he shouted towards the king, ”My lord, my lord, there are soldiers at the gates who claim to be from the capital. They say they have come to Wu City to hunt down the suspect.”

Lin Yi had privately disposed of the prefecture overseer's bribes, and had only told the public that the old county magistrate had returned home with an illness, but the new orders from the higher-ups had yet to arrive. The entire yamen fell into a state of helplessness. However, the yamen runners understood that Lin and Bao and the other two had noble backgrounds, so they directly followed their lead, honorably addressing them as' milord '.

Hearing this, Wang Feng was startled. He quickly explained the situation and rushed to Su Mu's residence, ”Let's go to the restaurant to look for Mister Lin first before sending people to deal with it.”

It seemed that it was as Su Mu said. The two of them had already stayed in Wu City for too long and the soldiers had actually found this place. At this moment, leaving was impossible. There were traces of soldiers and officials within a radius of five kilometers.

”Su Mu, the pursuers are here.” Wang Yu went straight to the point, he could not care about anything else.

Su Mujing, who had just fallen asleep for a short period of time, felt light as soon as she said this, suddenly losing all sleepiness. ”Sir Lin, Brother Bao, have you returned?”

”I've already ordered people to search for him. I wonder if we can make it back.” Wang Tong was naturally anxious.
