After leaving the Lu family, Bingtong looked back at the Lu residence in the night, and Jiang Xue Ning followed her and looked back.

Bingtong said softly, "I sense an unusual aura."

Jiang Xue Ning narrowed her eyes and said nothing. With a lot of experience, she could sometimes sense danger by intuition.

"Go back first."

They left, and in the night a woman sighed, "What a pity..."

On the carriage back home, Bingtong took out a colorful insect that had fallen into a deep sleep after being wrapped in her magic power.

"Gu insect?"

"Yes, I found it in Lu's house when I entered the Lu Mansion."

Both of them had suffered great losses from poisonous insects, so she had always been very sensitive to them and had also been practicing illusions against them.

Jiang Xue Ning sneered, "Sure enough, you have bad intentions."

In the purse she carried with her was an anthelmintic that she had bought at a high price, which was specifically for poisonous insects. Generally, poisonous insects could not get close to her.

"I don't know what kind of force is coming this time..."

Halfway through the journey, the carriage suddenly stopped. There was a sound of fighting outside, which ended quickly.

Du Yishui lifted the car curtain and said, "It's Meng Jiuan, the lover of Madam Lu Si."

Then he handed her the note that Meng Jiuan had slipped during the fight. She opened it and saw only three words on it, "Changsheng Temple."

Jiang Xue Ning frowned slightly. Ji Ying chose this method to deliver the message to her. It seemed that the Lu family was indeed not peaceful.

The next day, the carriage that Jiang Xue Ning usually rode in left the city and headed towards the military camp.

In fact, she took Du Yishui and Bingtong to disguise themselves as maids in the mansion and went out to buy groceries with the servants.

They went to a private house to change their makeup and dress up as a beautiful girl. Du Yishui and Bingtong dressed up as maids, and then they changed two carriages to Changsheng Temple.

Ji Ying's identity was too secretive, and she was afraid that both of them were being targeted, so she was extra careful.

The carriage went straight into the backyard of Changsheng Temple. She got off with her veil on and entered the room that had been booked in advance.

Du Yishui went out for a walk and came back soon, saying, "I didn't see any sign of Madam Lu Si."

Jiang Xue Ning was not in a hurry. She waited patiently while calmly reviewing and analyzing the current situation.

It was not until the afternoon of the third day that Ji Ying brought people to burn incense and light lamps for her deceased husband.

Jiang Xue Ning did not act rashly, but waited for Ji Ying to come to her.

But when Ji Ying came out after burning incense, she passed by her with Bingtong.

Ji Ying found a white hair on her arm and her eyes moved slightly.

That night, she found a note in the steamed bun she was eating, asking her to meet at Changshengpo.

Jiang Xue Ning glanced out the window and said, "Let's go."

She is protected by secret guards, so there is no trace of her along the way. If there is any fish that slips through the net following her, the secret guards will deal with it.

They wore black cloaks and walked in the dark.

After reaching Changsheng Hill, an old nun holding a lantern came out from behind a thousand-year-old tree and said, "Donor, please follow me."

They followed him quietly, and it turned out that there was another cave under Changsheng Hill. The old nun took them to the tree house, opened the door and left without permission.

Ji Ying said anxiously and excitedly, "You are finally here."

The tree house is small, and the light on makes people feel warm.

Du Yishui reached out and closed the door. "You guys talk, I'll be guarding the door."

Ji Ying looked a little frightened. She was a very courageous woman, and it was no small matter that could make her so uneasy.

Jiang Xue Ning sat down and said gently, "Don't panic, what happened?"

Ji Ying said with a pale face, "The people from the Snow Tribe have appeared, and my mother has been controlled."

They had been hiding in Xiangchu for so many years, and had thought that everything was fine, and had gradually forgotten about that past. But the people of the Snow Tribe came to haunt them again, and it was like a nightmare all over again.

"What do they want to do?"

Ji Ying's eyes swept across her face, and she said in a slightly cold voice, "Kill you!"

The answer was expected. Since she had appeared in Xiangchu, how could they let her go with their ambitions?

She tapped the table with her fingers. "It's so easy to get them. I was just worried about not being able to find them."

After hiding in the gutter for so long, it’s time to come out and see the sunlight.

Ji Ying's face still didn't look good. "If my mother is taken back, she will definitely not have a good ending. Please, Your Majesty, save my mother."

After all, running away with them was, in a sense, a betrayal.

Jiang Xue Ning asked softly, "Didn't they come to see you?"

"I did. Maybe they disliked me because I was a widow who had just lost my husband and had no say in the mansion. So they just warned me to be obedient, but they didn't make it too difficult for me."

But she dared to kill her husband, so she was no ordinary person. In addition, she had been married to the Lu family for several years and was sensitive to the subtle changes in the Lu family.

She sensed an inexplicable sense of strangeness and danger, so she took the risk to find her.

Jiang Xuening lowered her eyes and expressed her guess, "The Lu family has been invaded, or they have formed an alliance with them."

That's why Lu Zhen suddenly became so tough. Maybe he wanted to keep her life in the Lu residence that night.

But no one expected that Bingtong would bring people in when the banquet was halfway through.

The people who protected her were naturally powerful ones. They were intimidated and unsure, so they watched them leave.

After all, if they couldn't kill her with one blow, they would be the only ones doomed.

Ji Ying spoke slowly, "My mother once said that the people of the Snow Clan are best at using their identities as descendants of gods to deceive people. Especially the women of the Snow Clan, most of them will receive unified education after the age of ten."

They were taught how to seduce and control men, and after learning, these women would be sent to specific men. They would use their beauty and intelligence to lurk around men, and could become wives, concubines, or beauties.

They will try their best to gain power and complete the orders and tasks of the Snow Clan.

When the Snow Clan needs him, he will play his best role, and usually he will hide very well.

After Jiang Xue Ning heard what she said, she felt a little headache and asked, "So who do you suspect?"

She really didn't know much about the Lu family's backyard. The only person she had come into contact with a few times was Mrs. Lu.

Ji Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Before this, I never doubted anyone in the Lu family, but after this, I doubted everyone."

She felt terrified whenever she thought about the fact that someone from the Snow Clan was in the Lu Mansion with her.

Jiang Xue Ning's eyes flickered slightly, "In other words, that person may have known your true identity all along, but kept silent?"

"I don't know." Ji Ying said with a tired face, "If they knew that I leaked the Snow Clan's affairs to you, they would definitely not let me go."

"It's okay. I've been fighting them for a long time." Jiang Xue Ning comforted him, "Since they want to get involved in the world, their identities will be exposed sooner or later."

Ji Ying frowned, "Who could it be?"

"There are too many women in the Lu family, and it's impossible to tell the difference."

"It doesn't matter who it is." She sneered, "As long as the Lu family is finished, they will have nowhere to hide."
