Chapter 12 Space Changes
"Huh? Who is it?" Li Yun'er asked curiously.
"Zhu's Pastry Shop." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Lin Shu's eyes.
Li Yun'er covered her mouth in horror, "Why would they want to kill you?"
Lin Shu snorted coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, it must be my family's newly opened shop that's blocking someone's way."
Li Yun'er trembled all over, and couldn't help but feel anxious. "Then... what should we do now? I heard that the manager of Zhu's shop, Julie, is the sister-in-law of the county magistrate's wife."
After saying that, he looked around and then leaned close to Lin Shu's ear: "That's true, but I heard that Julie's brother is just a concubine, not even good enough to serve her husband. But that status is enough for her to use."
"Hmph~ If that's the case..." Then we have no choice but to strike first and nip it in the bud. However, Lin Shu didn't say the rest.
Li Yun'er thought Lin Shu was scared, so she comforted her, "But don't worry, Lin Shu. We're practically sisters, so I'll definitely help you. Just come to me if you need anything." She patted her ample chest as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shu felt a warmth in her heart. With the kindness emanating from the people around her, Lin Shu didn't even realize that her cold heart had been melting without her noticing.
In the end, they didn't manage to buy any pastries, so they all went home.
Seeing Li Yun'er enter, Lin Shu turned and headed back into the alley. After storing the assassins' corpses in her spatial storage, Lin Shu found a secluded spot and slipped inside.
"Master, Master, waaaaah~ Little Shui hasn't seen Master for so long..."
The mechanical voice was so coquettish it was almost unbearable. Lin Shu raised her hand and pinched her brow, then pointed at the assassins and asked, "Is it okay to put these corpses in the space?"
"No problem, no problem. Master, these things will soon turn into nutrients and dissipate into the space."
"Hmm." Knowing the answer she wanted, Lin Shu decided to leave the space.
"Eek... Master."
Hearing Xiaoshui's hesitant voice, Lin Shu stopped in her tracks: "What is it?"
"That's right...that's right, Xiaoshui also wants to go out and see the outside world with her master. Xiaoshui has been staying here since she was born..." Xiaoshui's voice clearly showed her longing for the outside world.
"can."
Upon hearing Lin Shu's sudden reply, Xiao Shui seemed momentarily stunned. After a while, she weakly said, "Master, I'm sorry. I was trying to trick you into taking me out, but I didn't finish. If... if Xiao Shui leaves, this spiritual spring space will be incomplete. From now on, it can only be used for storage; without the spiritual spring, it won't be able to come in... After Xiao Shui leaves, she won't be able to talk to you anymore. But don't worry, Master, we're connected spiritually, our minds are connected~"
Lin Shu never pinned her hopes on anything else, nor did she think that she could live a lifetime relying solely on the spiritual spring space, so she readily agreed: "It's alright."
Xiao Shui's voice immediately brightened: "Ah! Master, you're so kind, Xiao Shui loves you the most. But don't worry, Master, the things you stored in this space from your past life won't disappear, it'll just revert to the storage space it was in your past life..."
After speaking, it transformed into a cyan jade hairpin shaped like an auspicious cloud, which was inserted into Lin Shu's high-coiled hair. Upon closer inspection, the jade hairpin actually gleamed with a cold light and looked extremely sharp.
"Hurry up and go, Master, let's get out of here!"
Songhua Lane.
A woman who looked like a banished immortal suddenly appeared. She wore a long blue dress, had a cold gaze, and wore a gleaming blue jade hairpin in her hair. At this moment, she stretched out her pale hand to adjust the hairpin. She was exceptionally beautiful, and everyone who saw her would say, "What a graceful and elegant lady!"
As Lin Shu walked out of Songhua Lane, it was completely dark. She arrived at the backyard of "Zhu's Pastry Shop." The yard was too big, and she couldn't find Julie's residence for a moment. Just as she was about to head to the front yard, she suddenly heard voices:
"Has the person returned?" The voice was cold and sinister; one could tell without a doubt that it belonged to Julie, the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, he hasn't come back yet. It's been so long, could it be..." the waitress replied.
"Impossible! I spent five thousand taels of silver and I still couldn't win over a scholar?" Julie interrupted before the second young lady could finish speaking.
"Shopkeeper, they haven't returned for so long, they're probably in grave danger. I heard that Lin Shu has two young and handsome husbands, why don't we start with them?"
Upon hearing that he was young and handsome, Julie's heart stirred. She chuckled and said, "Not bad, go and do it. You'll be rewarded if you do it well."
"Yes."
As soon as the young lady opened the door, she saw a fairy in blue standing at the door. Before she could speak, the jade hairpin in the woman's hair flew into her hand and turned into a cyan jade sword. With a wave of her hand, the woman's head flew off and landed on the ground with wide-eyed stares, looking as if she had seen a demon.
"Hurry up..." Julie heard the noise, went around the screen, and was about to scold her, but she met the terrified expression on the second young lady's face, which looked like she had died with her eyes wide open. She swallowed hard and looked at Lin Shu:
"I wonder who you are?"
"The one who will take your life." Lin Shu stared at her without blinking.
Looking at the man's face, Julie understood immediately. This man had so openly exposed himself; he clearly didn't intend to let her live. She could only try and see if the county magistrate posed a threat to him.
"Do you know who I am? I am the sister-in-law of the county magistrate. If you kill me, my brother will definitely not let you go..." Before he could finish the word "you", he was already decapitated.
Lin Shu walked around the courtyard, collecting all the gold and silver items she could find, and then set it on fire... and the 'Zhu's Pastry Shop' disappeared into the flames.
The fire burned all night and wasn't discovered until the next day. Fortunately, the courtyard was detached and no one else was affected.
It was late at night when Lin Shu returned home with Han Lu. From afar, she saw Su Mu waiting anxiously at the door. Her heart warmed, and she quickened her pace to go forward, taking the man's hand and rubbing it. Her expression was somewhat displeased: "Why are you standing at the door? Your hands are so cold."
Su Mu grasped Lin Shu's hand in return, his voice slightly hoarse: "I saw that my wife hadn't returned yet, so I came out to check. I just came out."
Lin Shu could tell from his voice that this man hadn't told the truth to avoid worrying her, and had clearly been there for a long time. Although she was a little angry that he didn't care about his health, she couldn't bear to scold him, and said helplessly:
"Alright, if you come home late in the future, I'll have someone inform you. Let's go, let's go inside." After saying that, she pulled the man and walked into the house, taking very large strides, so much so that Su Mu had to jog to keep up.
Sitting in the main hall, Su Mu brought out the food that had been kept warm on the stove.
"Have some more with me!" Lin Shu served Su Mu a bowl of mutton soup, which was meant to warm him up.
Lin Shu ate slowly and deliberately, while Su Mu sipped his mutton soup. For a moment, the only sound was the clinking of bowls and chopsticks.
"Father is not fully recovered yet and has already gone to rest. Ah Yun is the same; she's been so sleepy for a long time that she can't even lift her head."
Knowing that Lin Shu was not good with words, Su Mu told her about the interesting things that happened during the day. Lin Shu listened carefully and occasionally replied with a word or two.
"It's getting late, you should rest early." Lin Shu finished eating and slowly wiped her mouth.
