Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

"He seemed to not want to waste time talking to me. He said I had to listen to him. He had already fed me poison, and if I didn't do anything, I would die."

"If I do a good job, he will naturally give me the antidote and keep me to do things for him next time."

"He knocked me out and threw me in the carriage and left the yard."

"When I wake up again, I will be at the entrance of the village."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded: "The other party probably doesn't want you to know the location of the yard."

"You've lived in the yard for half a month, so you should be familiar with the area around it, right?"

"Recall the buildings, flowers, trees, sounds, and anything else you can remember around the yard, no matter if you think it's important or not. Talk about it."

Liu said, "I was locked in the room and not even allowed to go to the toilet."

"I can't see anything around the yard."

"Only when the mute old lady came in to deliver the meal could I see a big tree in the yard, and under the shade of the tree was a stone table and four stone benches."

"There's a broom standing behind the door."

"The gate has never been opened, and you can't see anything outside the yard."

Lin Shuangshuang asked: "What kind of tree is that big tree in the yard?"

Liu thought for a moment and said, "I don't care. It's just a tree."

"All trees look the same. Even if I look carefully, I can't name them."

Lin Shuangshuang said in a serious tone: "Think about it carefully, and don't let go of any clues."

“Maybe that tree is the key.”

"How tall and strong is the tree? What are its leaves and branches like? Does it bear flowers and fruits? What does the fruit look like?"

Liu recalled carefully: "The trunk of that tree is very thick, but it is not a whole trunk. Instead, it has many small branches wrapped around the main trunk. The crown of the tree is very large and not very tall. The leaves are the size of a palm, and the shape is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom..."

As Lin Shuangshuang listened to Liu's description, the Bodhi tree came to her mind.

Bodhi trees are usually planted in temples. Who would plant one at home?

"Wait a moment, I'll draw it for you to see."

Soon, Lin Shuangshuang used charcoal to sketch a Bodhi tree on white paper.

Although simple, it captures the key features and is very realistic and vivid.

"Is it this way?"

Liu was full of admiration. She didn't expect that Lin Shuangshuang could draw it out of thin air just by saying it, and it was so realistic and so fast.

Liu nodded rapidly, "Yes, yes, it is this kind of tree. It is exactly the same."

"What kind of tree is this?"

It is basically certain that the tree planted in that yard is a Bodhi tree.

"The Bodhi tree."

"Linden tree?"

The Bodhi tree sounds very sacred. Everyone has heard of it, but no one knows what it looks like.

Most farmers would plant pomegranate trees, pear trees and persimmon trees in their yards, but I have never heard of anyone planting a bodhi tree in their yard.

According to what Liu said, the yard is not big, it is a small yard with only one tree and a stone table and stone benches, so it should not be a wealthy family.

Since you are not a wealthy family, who would plant a Bodhi tree in the yard? Is there any saying behind planting such a tree?

"Shuang'er, what's so special about this Bodhi tree? Is there any legend about it?"

"The Bodhi tree is regarded as a sacred tree by Buddhists. The Buddha attained enlightenment under a Bodhi tree. It is said that the Bodhi tree can purify the mind and help with spiritual practice."

"The Bodhi tree is nothing special to ordinary people like us, but it is the favorite of those who practice Taoism and cultivate immortality."

"Most houses only plant ornamental trees that can bloom or bear fruit, and there are not many people who plant Bodhi trees."

In her memory, Su Mubai's father liked to plant bodhi trees in the yard.

She was also wondering at the time why Su Changgong, who was not a cultivator, liked to plant Bodhi trees in the yard. Moreover, as long as it was the prime minister's property, no matter whether it was a big house or a small yard, he would plant one.

But Su Mubai didn't like her at that time, and she couldn't say a word in front of her parents-in-law.

So, she was just curious, and no one could answer her questions.

It was not until today when Liu mentioned the Bodhi tree again that she remembered this incident.

Could it be that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to assassinate her?

But why?

She has never had any connection with the Prime Minister's Mansion in her life, and Su Mubai no longer bothers her. Why would the Prime Minister's Mansion target her?

Lin Shuangshuang was puzzled, but the matter must be investigated as soon as possible, otherwise the assassination could come at any time and how could she live in peace.

Afterwards, Lin Shuangshuang asked many more questions, such as whether Liu heard any sounds around the yard, was it quiet or noisy?

This helped her judge and narrow down the area to the yard with the banyan tree.

Then, Lin Shuangshuang drew a map of the courtyard based on Liu's memories, making it easier for Li Bingwen to find it.

After sending the Gu family away, Lin Shuangshuang wrote a letter to Li Bingwen, tied it to the leg of a pigeon and sent it to him.

In this era, there was no such thing as carrier pigeons. Only a few people around her knew about it, and it had not yet become popular.

So even if someone is watching, no one will pay attention to a pigeon.

After the pigeons were released, Lin Shuangshuang has not left the yard, and people outside don’t know what is going on inside.

Three days later, Lin Shuangshuang received a letter from Li Bingwen via carrier pigeon. He personally led people to search secretly and finally found the yard with the Bodhi tree.

The layout of the yard is the same as in the picture, so it’s basically that yard.

The yard was empty. Li Bingwen did not evacuate people in time. Instead, he sent people to find a teahouse nearby and booked a private room on the second floor. He used the telescope that Lin Shuangshuang had given him before to observe every move in the yard.

He actually discovered something.

It was probably the third day after he found the yard that someone finally entered.

She was an old woman with a hunched back, probably the mute woman that Liu mentioned.

But the mother-in-law never came out after she entered the house, and when she came out again, she was actually a man.

And the man had a large black birthmark on his face.

He is not sure now, is the man with birthmark who came out of the house the mute old woman in disguise, or has the man with birthmark been hiding in the house, with no door for three days and three nights, and only came out when the mute old woman went in?

Li Bingwen told Lin Shuangshuang about the situation in the yard through a letter, and said that he would have people continue to monitor the yard.

We must find out the relationship between the mute old lady and the man with the birthmark. Are they one person or two?

After Lin Shuangshuang received the letter, she saw the man with the birthmark mentioned in the letter and the location of the birthmark, and basically locked down the other party's identity.

Fu Bo?

The chief steward beside Su Changgong?

In her previous life, she had been the daughter-in-law of the Su family, so she was very familiar with this person.

Uncle Fu, the man with a big birthmark on his face, is Su Changgong's confidant. It is said that he grew up with Su Changgong and is now an old man around him.

This time, Su Changgong actually sent Fu Bo to assassinate her. It seemed that he had spent a lot of money.

But why did Su Changgong insist on killing her?
