Chapter 138 Lure the snake out of its hole
"You little bitch, come back, come back!" Cui Shi was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, he saw Lin Xin's graceful figure walking away. He quickly jumped up and chased after her.

"Ziyuan, what's going on?" Gao Yong stared at the scene in amazement, then turned to look at Mo Ziyuan blankly.

Mo Ziyuan smiled and said, "Maybe he found something during his trip into the mountains yesterday and wanted to show it to Elder Cui!"

Thinking of the two ginsengs that saved Meng Yixuan, Gao Yong suddenly felt that his guess made sense.

Looking at the person who was fooled, Mo Ziyuan raised the corner of his mouth in an unfathomable manner.

At this time, a burst of noise from villagers was heard outside the door, and then faded away.

"What's going on outside?" Chu Yu didn't get up earlier than the other two. As soon as he walked out of the room, he heard the noisy noise outside and asked curiously.

"I don't know," Gao Yong shook his head in confusion.

As they were talking, the rest of the people also stood up. Mo Ziyuan's eyes darkened, "Brothers, I have something to tell you. Let's go inside first."

"What's the matter? Why are you being so mysterious? Can't you just say it directly outside?" Gao Yong complained as he followed him into the main room.

After everyone entered, Mo Ziyuan closed the door, looked at them sternly, and slowly spoke, "Yesterday at noon, someone placed a drugged five-step snake outside Miss Lin's house. At the time, Miss Lin was home with Elder Cui, Lin Nan, and Lin Tao."

As soon as the last two words came out, everyone's expression changed.

"Five-step snake? And it was drugged?" Fu Jing repeated subconsciously.

Mo Ziyuan looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Before they found the snake, the two sisters, Lin Duo and Lin Zhi, had visited Miss Lin's home. But they stood at the door and exchanged a few words before entering."

Fu Jing's face changed drastically.

Gao Yong yelled, "Could it be that those shameless sisters placed that snake in front of Miss Lin's house? This person is too mean! If it bites someone, won't it be a dead end?"

Mo Ziyuan stared at Fu Jing straight in the eyes. "Don't you have anything to say?"

"I..." Fu Jing licked his lips. When he found that everyone was looking at him strangely, his expression became even worse. Finally, he closed his eyes and said, "It was indeed me who asked the two sisters to go, but I didn't ask them to put the poisonous snake in front of Miss Lin's house."

"What? Why would you do that?"

"Why did you ask Lin Duo and Lin Zhi to go find Miss Lin?"

Everyone's eyes became strange. Fu Jing couldn't stand such a stare and shook his sleeve vigorously. "Lin Duo and Lin Zhi both hate her deeply, so I found them. I just don't want Lin Xin to have an easy time and want to make her look bad. But I really didn't ask them to release the snake. Why are you looking at me like that?!"

The more Fu Jing spoke, the more he felt that everyone was looking at him with suspicion, and by the end his words almost turned into growls.

Mo Ziyuan looked at him quietly for a long moment before saying, "After we found the snake, Elder Cui pointed out that it had been drugged. It was a very common drug, so there was no way to find it. Later, we kidnapped Lin Duo and forced her to reveal that it was you who asked her and Lin Zhi to cause trouble for Miss Lin. At that time, I suspected that you had found the snake, drugged it, and then handed it over to them."

As Mo Ziyuan continued his story, everyone looked at Fu Jing with increasingly strange eyes. He chuckled softly, "But Miss Lin firmly told me that while you were the one who bribed Lin Duo and Lin Zhi, you definitely weren't the one who set the trap. She said that while she hadn't had much contact with you recently, she could tell you were an honest person. Bribing Lin Duo and the others was probably the limit."

As he finished speaking, Fu Jing's eyes suddenly turned red. He didn't expect that when even his brother, who had been through thick and thin with him, thought he was trying to harm someone, the person who believed him the most was Lin Xin, whom he had always targeted. This made him feel very special, as if he was a little aggrieved, but also a little happy. In short, it was a mixture of various emotions.

"Well," Gao Yong scratched his head, "that makes sense. Fu Jing is indeed not that kind of villain."

Although the others didn't say anything, they agreed with Lin Xin's words in their hearts. After all, no one wanted the person they lived with day and night and had shared life and death with to want to kill their brother's sweetheart, let alone want to kill the only offspring of the current emperor.

"Okay, now let's analyze who released the snake and who it was targeting." Mo Ziyuan waited until everyone had digested the news before speaking again.

Among this group of people, Fu Jing was the best at thinking. He quickly proposed several possibilities:
First, it was a villager who released the snake, and it was probably Lin Xin who was being targeted. Everyone knew that Lin Xin was not one to take offense. Those who took advantage of others and talked behind their backs were almost always punished if they provoked her. It was likely that they took advantage of the fact that there were so many strangers in the village to attack her.

Second, the one who released the snake was a member of the Third Prince's family who had escaped the net, with the intention of poisoning the young grandson.

Third, the one who released the snake was a family that wanted to be the heir. As long as the little grandson died, a child with their family bloodline would have the possibility of becoming the heir.

Fourth, the one who released the snake was sent by the family who wanted to marry Lin Xin to Mo Ziyuan, in order to bite her to death and take her place.

"This is all I can think of for now. If anyone else thinks of anything, please add it in." Fu Jing said.

"I think this is quite comprehensive. The most urgent task now is to find this person. Miss Lin and I both tend to believe that it was done by one of the guards who came with me this time."

"I also think that the person who did it is among the guards who came here, but this person is not easy to find." Zhou Qi said thoughtfully.

"Even if it's difficult to find the person, we have to find him. Otherwise, there is someone hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to take action, and we really can't defend ourselves against him." This is what Meng Yixuan said.

"I do have an idea, but it's somewhat dangerous." Meng Yichen said in a low voice, touching his nose.

"What's the idea?" everyone asked in unison.

"Lue the snake out of its hole."

"Lure the snake out of its hole? No, it's too dangerous. I don't agree." Meng Yixuan was the first to express his opinion.

"I don't think it's a good idea either. This bait is really too dangerous." Chu Yu was the second one.

"I think this method can work, but now we have two goals. We still need to discuss who will be the bait." As soon as Fu Jing finished speaking, he immediately attracted a lot of eye rolls.

"Don't look at me like that. Let's think about the plan first. I'll talk to Miss Lin later and see what she means. If she is willing to be the bait, it should be more effective." Fu Jing added.

"What if something happens? Who will be responsible? You? Or you?" Mo Ziyuan's eyes were red, and he stared at Fu Jing and Meng Yichen.
