When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1433 Jin Yue 34
"Your maternal grandmother passed away that winter, and that day was your uncle's birthday. Everyone in the household was celebrating your uncle's birthday, while your maternal grandmother died alone in that little courtyard."

"Apart from the plum tree outside the window, there is nothing else."

“He owes your maternal grandmother a life, and he should repay it. But what has he done all these years? He ignored the bullying your mother suffered in the mansion and plotted to use her as a tool for a political marriage.”

"After receiving huge benefits, he completely ignored you and your son. Such an unkind, unjust, uncompassionate, and unloving person actually has a son to continue the family line."

"God... this is so unfair."

Tan You murmured to herself, "Sometimes, I really want to lift up God's skull and see what's inside."

Just as she finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck outside the window. Unfortunately, it couldn't get close to Tan You; it seemed to carry a sense of impotent rage.

Tan You smiled calmly. Seeing the horrified expressions on Gu Yu's and the others' faces, she casually said, "No matter how angry you are, it's useless. This world has long been corrupt. Kind people endure humiliation and hardship, while evil people live a life of ease and prosperity."

"Anyone would feel it's unfair."

Thunder roared, but lightning wouldn't strike.

Gu Yu was a bit bolder. She looked out the window at the gloomy sky, where thunderclouds were clearly gathering and lightning was flashing within them. But no thunder came down, and Gu Yu immediately felt relieved.

Girl, you are a divine being!

They only dared to listen to these words; they would never dare to say them aloud. The girl was very capable, while they were just ordinary people who wouldn't dare to complain like that.

No matter what, there are gods watching over us. Although we haven't seen any gods yet, it's pretty much the same.

Cheng Sui became serious: "He owes my maternal grandmother a life, he deserves to die."

Tan You: "Yes, he deserves to die. Anyone who has taken a life deserves to die. Your uncle, your maternal grandfather, and your maternal grandmother, they all deserve to die."

"But we shouldn't be the ones to do it, at least not openly."

Cheng Sui understood: "Got it, do it stealthily. The snake-attracting powder last time was good, what will you use this time?"

Tan You said nonchalantly, "It's not about how old the move is, but how effective it is."

Her gaze fell on the dense forest outside the city: "When we go to inspect the countryside, we have to pass through that dense forest, which is surrounded by high mountains on both sides. It's only natural that rocks might fall from the mountains."

The maids understood. If Lin Jinyu were accidentally killed by a falling rock, who would know it was them? They were just travelers who had come to Yuncheng for lodging.

That evening, Tan You and Cheng Sui rested at the inn, while the maids went their separate ways. They went to buy food and various warm clothing, as it would get colder the further north they went.

Nowadays, the maids all have a lot of money in their hands, but they are discussing how to spend it.

The northern lands are harsh and cold, sparsely populated, and have poor harvests. Naturally, the more grain the better, and no matter how much they buy, Tan You can take it all with her.

Secondly, there are various seeds, as well as cold-weather supplies and all kinds of tools, which will be useful when we arrive in the North.

At dawn, the group left the inn in a horse-drawn carriage. The innkeeper stood at the door, watching the departing carriage with a puzzled expression, seemingly lost in thought.

The old shopkeeper tapped him on the head: "Erzi, what are you thinking about? Get back to work."

Erzi scratched his head: "Yesterday, these customers bought several cartloads of goods. When they came back, the ruts on the road were very deep. But just now, when they left, the ruts were much shallower."

Old shopkeeper: "Why are you meddling in the customers' business? Just do your job. Get back to work!"

The two boys rushed inside, while the old innkeeper squinted at the departing carriage, shook his head, and also entered the inn. Once inside the dense forest, everyone's belongings became increasingly sparse. In the end, of the five carriages that had been purchased just yesterday, only the horses remained; the carriage frames had all been stored away in Tan You's spatial storage.

"It's good to have space," Tan You sighed once again. "Those merit points I spent back then were really worth it."

Gu Yu and the others rode their horses into the dense forest. The group rested on the mountaintop, patiently waiting for Lin Jinyu's arrival.

Holding a meat bun, Cheng Sui sat cross-legged on a rock at the top of the mountain: "Mother, could a falling rock really kill him?"

Tan You: "That's not necessarily true, but it can be the finishing blow."

"There's not much else in these mountains and forests, but insects, snakes, rats and ants are the most abundant."

Cheng Sui understood. He ate the meat bun in a few bites and started fiddling with his small porcelain bottles. Cheng Qian still had value, but Lin Jinyu was of no value to him whatsoever.

On the contrary, he harmed his grandmother, so he had to die.

After taking out the snake-attracting powder, Cheng Sui hesitated for a moment, then took out a small bottle containing tendon-softening powder.

Around 7:00 AM, Lin Jinyu and a group of county yamen runners appeared in the dense forest. As a frail scholar, Lin Jinyu's physical condition was not very good, and he was currently traveling by carriage.

The yamen runners walked around the carriage. Putting everything else aside, it still had a certain air of class; at the very least, you could tell it was an official traveling.

Tan You glanced at the two armed constables at the front, and after confirming that they were about to pass through a dangerous area, she made a gesture. Gu Yu and the other maids gave a strong push, and a huge boulder rolled down the mountain.

The constable with the knife was quite capable; sensing something was amiss, he urgently ordered the coachman to speed up. Unfortunately, Tan You had timed it perfectly, and the rocks struck the carriage precisely on its own.

Lin Jinyu let out a scream. Before he could even get out of the carriage or see his enemy, he was crushed under the rocks.

"grown ups!"

"Master Lin!"

"There are assassins!"

The constables immediately fell into chaos, some of the more alert ones drawing their long swords. Others were in complete panic, a true display of the diverse reactions of the common people.

But everyone knows that the frame of the car was crushed, and Lin Jinyu probably won't get away with it.

Just as the constables were searching for the assassins, they suddenly collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Immediately after they collapsed, six people appeared in a clearing in the woods.

Tan You went over and lifted the carriage curtain. After seeing the scene clearly, she couldn't help but smile: "You're quite lucky, you're still breathing."

Lin Jinyu was already on the verge of death; he had only gone out for a routine inspection of the city, yet he had been killed. And the person who appeared at the scene was...

"Second sister?"

Even after several years apart, Lin Jinyu still recognized Lin Jinyue's face at a glance.

Tan You smiled and said, "It's me, big brother, have a safe journey."

The maids, including Gu Yu, were not idle either. They moved or carried the fallen yamen runners to a safe area, because they could not allow innocent people to be harmed.

Cheng Sui silently sprinkled a circle of snake-attracting powder around the rocks, more than twice the amount he used on Lin Jinzhu at the palace banquet.

The thought that his maternal grandmother, whom he had never met, was harmed by that heartless bastard Lin Jinyu filled Cheng Sui with rage. If his grandmother were still alive, would his mother have suffered so much?
