As a result, Ye Muyu became more and more worried about Chu Heng. She used the most superstitious method, burning incense and worshipping Buddha every day.

“Madam, the incense we bought at home is about to be used up. This servant will go to the village entrance to see if there is any incense for sale.” Madam Hu followed Ye Muyu and bowed to the Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures at home. After that, she asked for instructions.

Ye Muyu nodded. She took out some silver pieces from her waist and handed them to her. “Bring some bitter gourd tea for Lilt Jin. It’s hot today. I’m afraid he’ll catch the heat.”

“Alright, Madam, this servant will go now.” Madam Hu changed her clothes and carried the basket out of the courtyard.

Zhang Shu sat under the donkey shed and weaved a bamboo basket. After Madam Hu left the door, he quickly walked to the door and opened it halfway. He sat down and weaved bamboo baskets while watching the situation on the road outside.

Han Zhuang, on the other hand, was busy with his chores at home and did not have much presence. Even the villagers in the neighborhood did not know that the Chu family had an additional servant.

On the other hand…

Madam Hu went to the grocery store at the end of the bridge and asked around. There was no incense for sale.

She was not disappointed. After all, there were very few people in the village who burned incense at home. Basically, they would go to the temple once a year and donate some money to the temple.

However, this way, she would have to wait for her husband to go to the county tomorrow to buy some back.

Madam Hu thought about this matter and did not delay much. She quickly walked out of the grocery store and went to the school.

Just as she reached the school gate, Madam Hu suddenly heard a scream coming from the school. She inexplicably panicked and quickly walked in.

‘What’s wrong? What happened?”

“Ah, Tang Bao is dead!” A group of children screamed.

‘What?” Madam Huts expression changed instantly. She grabbed a child and asked, “Lil’ Jin, ah no, where’s Chu Jin?”

“In the room, sob…

Madam Hu was so frightened that her hands were trembling. She saw everyone rushing out of the dining hall. The child said that Chu Jin was inside.

When Madam Hu rushed in, she saw Chu Jin being pulled behind Teacher Lin.

His hands were trembling and his face was pale. He was obviously frightened. Beside him, her son, Zhang Cong, was so scared that his face was pale. His eyes were blank and he looked frightened.

In the middle of the dining hall, a fat child was lying in a pool of blood. His face was filled with fear as he died with his eyes wide open.

There were still two people fighting at the side.

Both of them were dressed plainly and looked extremely ordinary, so no one had much impression of them.

One of the younger youths was holding a blood-stained knife in his hand. It was obvious that he was the murderer.

When Madam Hu saw this scene, she was so scared that her legs went weak. However, she still went forward and grabbed Chu Jin. She wanted to protect him and bring him home while calling for her son, Zhang Cong.

However, Master Lin suddenly hugged Chu Jin and turned his head to glare at him with a fierce expression on his face. He had a guarded look on his face.

When he saw that it was Madam Hu, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Teacher Lin, this is…?” Madam Hu was shocked by his reaction.

“I thought there was another bad guy here,” Teacher Lin explained.

“Bring Chu Jin back first. By the way, help me report to the authorities that someone has entered the school and killed someone.” Teacher Lin’s face was filled with fatigue, and his eyes were filled with worry as he watched the two people fighting in the arena.

“Let’s go!” Seeing that the young man was desperate, Teacher Lin pushed her, Chu Jin, and Zhang Cong out before Madam Hu could reply..
