Chapter 55: It must have been that corrupt official who did it

On the night Lin Jiaojiao set up the clothing tomb for Bai Zhi, there was a heavy autumn rain.

She stood alone by the door, watching the autumn rain pouring outside, lost in thought. The bean-sized raindrops knocked down the withered leaves, and while they hit the ground, they also hit her heart.

A month ago, when she traveled through time and gave birth after a car accident, from giving birth to the postpartum period, she couldn't do without Bai Zhi's careful care. If it weren't for Bai Zhi, she might have been sick and weak, without the strength to stand here and grieve.

For her, Bai Zhi was the first friend she made in this world.

Even though there were class differences in this world, she had never treated Bai Zhi as a servant.

Now that she and Bai Zhi had finally escaped the control of the Pei Mansion and were about to live a good life, a fire destroyed the future she had been looking forward to.

She felt incomparable regret. She regretted that she shouldn't have swapped Bai Zhi into the prison, and she hated those people who were always watching her in the dark and wanted to put her to death!

Even though Lu Zhenting had advised her today, Lin Jiaojiao still couldn't forgive herself, and even more so, she couldn't forgive those who caused Bai Zhi's death!

In the flickering candlelight, Guo Shi actually saw a ray of silver light reflecting out.

Guo Shi had heard before that people would turn white-haired overnight when they were sad. She had never thought that such a scene would appear before her eyes, "Lin Guniang, your hair...?"

Lin Jiaojiao turned her head, her wide almond eyes already filled with tears, but she tried her best to bite her lower lip to keep herself from crying out, and her lips had already been bitten and broken.

"It must have been that corrupt official who did it!" She cursed with hatred.

A clap of thunder cracked, and the scalds on Lin Jiaojiao's face looked particularly striking.

Even someone like Guo Shi, who had seen the world, had never seen such a determined and desperate expression on anyone else.

"Lin Guniang..." Guo Shi stopped speaking. She knew that no matter how she advised her at this time, it would be useless. In the depths of Lin Jiaojiao's eyes, the flames of revenge had already been ignited.

Before, no matter how much Lin Jiaojiao hated the Old Madam of the Pei family, she would curse people every day. When those unspeakable persecutions fell on her, she wasn't afraid. Only this time, Lin Jiaojiao was truly afraid.

She was afraid that the one who died today was Bai Zhi, and maybe the one who would have an accident tomorrow could be Zhu Geer, Guo Shi, and even Lu Zhenting, Song Shijie...

What if everyone related to her had their lives at stake?!

She already understood what she should do.

Guo Shi knew that no matter how she comforted her, it would be pale and powerless. Even she herself couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart: Bai Zhi was such a good girl, and she actually met such a disaster.

If the one who was burned to death was Lin Jiaojiao, she didn't dare to think further. Finally, she sighed, "Bai Zhi was a good girl."

At this time, Zhu Geer was smacking his little mouth in his sleep. Guo Shi knew that the child was hungry in his sleep, so she walked to the bed and picked up Zhu Geer to feed him milk.

Lin Jiaojiao walked out of the room while she turned to feed the milk, disappearing into the night sky in the pouring rain.

When Guo Shi looked up again, Lin Jiaojiao's figure was already gone from the room!

"Oh no, oh no!" Guo Shi slapped her thigh, "Could she be going to take revenge!! No, I must hurry to call General Lu!!"

In this rainy night, many people tossed and turned, unable to sleep, only Xu Xiao was carefree.

For one thing, he solved the trouble of Lin Jiaojiao and completely extinguished the possibility of the Wang family overturning the case.

For another, there would be no new favorite concubine in the Emperor's place, and his daughter could still sit firmly in the position of Imperial Concubine, and being crowned Empress was just around the corner.

But suddenly, with a clap of thunder, a pale white light flashed in the room. In that light, there seemed to be a figure standing!

Xu Xiao woke up from his dream all of a sudden, and even his breathing became rapid. After panting ten or so times, he finally calmed down.

Another clap of thunder flashed, and that white-clothed figure was still there!

And it had moved dozens of steps closer to him!

"Who!" Xu Xiao shouted, wanting to get up and pick up the sword by the bed, but the other party was faster!

He didn't even know what happened, and he couldn't move!

When the thunder flashed again, he finally saw the face of the visitor: it was a melon-shaped face with scalds on the left cheek!

"It's you!" Xu Xiao couldn't imagine that Lin Jiaojiao would appear in his room in the middle of the night!

"It's me," Lin Jiaojiao lowered her voice, speaking like a ghost, "Corrupt official, I've come to take revenge for Bai Zhi."

"Just by you?" Xu Xiao sneered. He even forgot how a woman could enter the Xu Mansion!

"Yes, just by me. Just by me alone, I can take down everyone in your mansion," Lin Jiaojiao let out a cold laugh, "Including you, this corrupt official."

"You...!" Xu Xiao glared, his eyes wide. He wanted to pick up his sword to hack Lin Jiaojiao again, but he still couldn't move even a finger. He only felt that his meridians were paralyzed, as if thousands of insects and ants were crawling over him.

"Someone! Someone!" He opened his mouth to call for people, but because his throat was in a semi-paralyzed state, he couldn't shout with his usual momentum.

"No need to shout," Lin Jiaojiao opened the door and windows, and a cold wind mixed with raindrops blew in. In the courtyard, there were corpses lying horizontally and vertically in the rain.

"You?!" Xu Xiao never expected that everyone in the entire mansion would fall under Lin Jiaojiao's hands!

Lin Jiaojiao lit the oil lamp, then pulled out a stool and sat down, talking to herself while picking her fingernails, "Don't worry, they didn't die, but you, this corrupt official, wouldn't care about their lives, would you?"

"Do you know? Where we are, there is a kind of punishment called lethal injection."

"When performing lethal injection, the executioner will give the death row prisoner three injections, one of which is called a muscle relaxant."

"When the dosage is small, it can make people's limbs weak and disobedient."

"When the dosage is large, it's hard to say. After all, it's something used for death row prisoners, who can control the dosage?"

"Just like you now, you've already had incontinence, haven't you?"

"You?! If you do this, you will definitely die without a burial place!" Xu Xiao's lower body clothes were stained yellow, dripping with unknown liquid.

At this moment, his dignity as a person was completely gone!

He was extremely humiliated and just wanted Lin Jiaojiao to go to hell immediately! ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
