Lin Wan'er's first reaction was to pull the silver bell at the head of the bed.

She couldn't speak, so in order to make it easier for her to order the servants around at night, Lu Lingxiao hung a string of silver bells on her.

But her stomach hurt so much that raising her hand would only make the pain worse.

She wanted to roll around on the bed in pain.

She knew that giving birth would be painful, but she didn't expect it to be so painful. Didn't the maids in the mansion say that it wouldn't be painful at first, but would gradually get more severe?

Why do I say something different from them?

After a few breaths, Lin Wan'er's body was soaked in cold sweat. She knew that she couldn't bear the pain any longer and she needed a midwife.

She gritted her teeth, struggled hard, and finally reached the head of the bed.

However, the silver bell that was originally hanging there disappeared somehow.

Who took her silver bell?

Lin Wan'er was extremely angry. She endured the terrible pain in her abdomen and slapped the headboard hard with her hands.

She is about to give birth, so there should be maids and old women on night duty outside.

But she clapped for a long time and it seemed as if no one heard her.

"Green radish... green radish... green radish——"

Lin Wan'er didn't know how many times she shouted when the door creaked open.

Luluo hurriedly walked to the bed, lifted the curtain, and saw Lin Wan'er in excruciating pain. Her face changed instantly: "Madam!"

It was not Green Rose's turn to be on duty tonight, so she went back to her room and slept.

Half asleep and half awake, he vaguely heard some noise in Lin Wan'er's room, so he came over to take a look.

I never thought that the lady would be so uncomfortable.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Wan'er covered her belly and said, "Luolu... I think I'm about to give birth..."

Green Radish was startled: "Now?"

Lin Wan'er covered her stomach in pain.

"I, I'll go find my uncle right now!"

After saying this, Luoluo rushed out. In a panic, she tripped over the threshold and fell out, with a bruised face and nose.

She didn't care about her own pain and rushed out, rolling and crawling.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the yard, she found that it could not be opened at all.

She squatted down and looked through the crack in the middle of the door, and was shocked to see a copper lock.

Someone locked the door from the outside!

"Someone is here! Open the door! The young lady is about to give birth! Open the door!"

However, no matter how she called out or clapped her hands, no one came.

"How could this happen... Who did it?"

"Xiaodie! Is that you?"

Green ivy was very panicked.

The only person she could think of who had a problem with the lady was the orphan girl the general rescued along the way.

"Xiaodie! Open the door!"

"If anything happens to the young lady and her unborn child, the master and the old lady will not let you go!"

"Is there anyone outside?"

Green Lotus was furious. She turned around and looked towards the yard and said, "Is everyone in the yard fast asleep? Hurry up and get up! The young lady is about to give birth!"

No one responded in the yard.

Luoluo stomped her feet hard, turned around and went to the maids' room.

But the strange thing was that all the houses were empty, without a single person in sight.

In the entire Fengyuan, only she and the young lady are left.

Realizing this, Green Ivy covered her mouth in horror.

She returned to Lin Wan'er's room.

At this moment, Lin Wan'er was in so much pain that she was half dead.

"lady……"

She stared at Lin Wan'er blankly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Wan'er heard everything.

Not only was the gate locked, but everyone in the yard also slipped away.

Lock her and Green Radish here to die.

If she hadn't been able to speak and called out to Luoluo, then when Luoluo woke up the next day, she would probably have seen her already cold corpse.

And her death could naturally be blamed on Luluo.

"Ma'am...why is this happening?"

Green radish cried.

Lin Wan'er clutched the mattress tightly and said, "Why... Of course someone wants me dead..."

Luoluo broke down and cried: "Who is so bad that he wants to kill my wife?"

Lin Wan'er once again thought of Meng Qianqian's words: "Be careful of your father-in-law."

Xiaodie and she have always been at odds, but Xiaodie was not bold enough to lock her yard door.

Even if Xiaodie was really bold or crazy enough to get rid of her, Xiaodie was just a maid in Songzhuyuan and she couldn't command so many servants in Fengyuan.

"I'll go call my uncle... maybe he's already back..."

Lin Wan'er closed her eyes in pain: "No, he didn't come back."

Songzhuyuan is neither near nor far, and others may not be able to hear it, but Lu Lingxiao, who practices martial arts, has more than enough hearing ability.

The missing Lu Lingxiao, the vanishing Yin Ling, the locked courtyard door, the servants who slipped away...

No matter how stupid Lin Wan'er was, she could guess who did it.

She really didn't understand why that man did this. Did he realize that she was an imposter?

"Madam, what should I do?"

"escape……"

"escape?"

"There's a ladder in the backyard... go and move it..."

"okay……"

Green ivy wiped her tears and left in fear.

The Lu family's ladder was not as light as the one in the Duke's Mansion. It was big and heavy. It took Lu Luo a lot of effort to put the ladder on the top of the wall.

Then she went back to the house, looked at Lin Wan'er in pain, gritted her teeth and said, "Madam, why don't I go and ask the old lady for help! She...she will definitely not hurt you!"

Lin Wan'er shook her head.

If the person who wanted to kill her was really that person, then Luoluo would never be able to see the old lady.

The only option now is to escape!

Fortunately, the entire Lu family believed that she was a mute and that there was no way she could escape from Fengyuan tonight, so they did not arrange for guards to watch over her.

It's not surprising when you think about it. For something like this that is struck by lightning, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

The two of them climbed up the wall using a ladder and then climbed down along the tree outside the wall.

The wall of Fengyuan was not high, and there happened to be a crabapple tree that Meng Qianqian had planted before, so the plan was a lucky success.

But it is not so easy to climb over the palace wall.

"Found the ladder!"

Green ivy, looking disheveled, brought over a broken ladder.

"The ladder is not solid. I'll hold it. Madam, you go first."

Lin Wan'er covered her aching stomach and climbed up the ladder in a cold sweat.

The ladder was shaking, and she was frightened out of her wits.

But when she got downstairs, she was in trouble.

There is no place to borrow a foot.

If I jump from such a high place, will the child die?

"Madam! Someone is coming! Don't jump yet, wait for me!"

Green ivy climbed up the wall in a few steps, gritted her teeth and jumped down, "Madam, I'll catch you!"

Lin Wan'er looked back at the approaching lantern and jumped down crying.

She cracked her knee and dislocated her wrist, but luckily she didn't land on her stomach.

"who!"

The Lu family's security guard discovered a ladder leaning against the wall.

Lin Wan'er said painfully, "Go!"

Luoluo supported Lin Wan'er and fled into the night in a hurry.

But at this moment, a carriage hit them head-on.

-

Governor's Mansion.

Meng Qianqian had just finished burning paper money by the pond.

Yu Li is here too.

It was Meng Qianqian who asked him to come over.

Meng Qianqian didn't tell him who they were worshipping, but just asked him to worship with them.

"Miss."

Wu Ge'er hurried over and bowed to Yu Li first, "Cousin!"

Yu Li nodded.

"What happened?" Meng Qianqian asked.

Wu Ge'er replied: "Princess Wanping wants you to go to the princess's mansion."

"when?"

"Now."

Meng Qianqian asked curiously, "What's the matter at this hour?"

Wu Ge'er shook his head: "No, just ask the young lady to go over as soon as possible."

Meng Qianqian nodded: "I understand, go and prepare the carriage."

It was strange. Why did Princess Wanping call her over in the middle of the night?
