Chapter 2304: Chapter 2304: Soone Died
This doesn’t seem normal no matter how you look at it. It’s simply unreasonable.
“Dong’er, here’s what you’ll do. Go in secret and invite an alchemist to co and take my pulse,” she instructed the maid by her side.
“Yes, Madam.”
Dong’er accepted the order and prepared to head out to find an alchemist.
“Wait a mont.”
The City Lord’s wife called out to stop her again.
“Madam, do you have any other instructions?” Dong’er turned back and asked.
“Don’t bring the alchemist into the mansion. Do it outside.”
The City Lord’s wife thought about it and realized that directly bringing the person into the mansion would likely draw attention.
It would be better to et outside at a safe location. That way, the person taking her pulse wouldn’t know her identity as the City Lord’s wife.
“Understood, Madam. This servant will take care of it right away.” Dong’er glanced up at her, then stepped out of the room.
…
In the inn, Sui Zimo had gone to the Lin Residence to et Lin Baizhong. Feeling a bit hungry, Lin Caisang ca downstairs, ordered a whole table of dishes, and prepared to eat while waiting for Sui Zimo to return.
“Enjoy your al, guest.”
The waiter brought over the dishes and, with polite words to Lin Caisang, quickly left.
Looking at the table full of food, Lin Caisang took a deep breath, picked up the chopsticks beside her, and began to eat.
“Not bad, just a bit too salty. Baby, bear with it, alright? Once Mommy finishes eating and rinses her mouth, it won’t be salty for you anymore.”
Baby: “…”
If he weren’t still just a baby, not yet born and unable to speak, he absolutely would have scolded this irresponsible mother of his.
Rinsing your mouth afterward? Really? Isn’t the issue clearly that these dishes are too salty?
But then, his mom’s taste was always this peculiar—probably spoiled by his dad. He had no choice but to endure it.
Even if he dared to complain, he’d probably have to worry about his dad coming after him to settle the score.
“Hey, soone—soone! Is there an alchemist among you here?”
As she was eating, a loud and aggressive voice suddenly echoed from outside the inn.
“What’s going on?”
“Did soone die? Why is there so much blood?”
“Heavens, soone actually committed murder in Sky City? That’s horrifying.”
“Is that person really dead? Where’s the murderer? Aren’t they afraid of being captured by the City Lord’s Mansion and torn to pieces?”
People dining in the inn all stood up and rushed toward the entrance to watch the commotion.
Each spoke their mind, but no one dared step forward to intervene. Likely, they didn’t want to get themselves into trouble—after all, with all that blood, it seed highly likely soone had died.
If they got involved, who knew if those people might try to pin the bla on them?
“What’s going on?”
Lin Caisang also set down her chopsticks and swiftly stashed the entire table of dishes into her Gold Pearl Space.
At a ti like this, everyone’s attention was focused on the scene outside in the street. No one noticed her quietly storing the food into her spatial storage.
After securing everything, she casually strolled to the entrance, squeezing through the crowd, and asked as she looked toward the commotion.
“Soone’s dead,” ca the reply.
The person next to her shrugged helplessly and said.
Then, catching a whiff of her scent, he lowered his gaze and gave her a quick once-over. Noticing her pregnant belly, he decided to remind her.
“Madam, I sll a strong dicinal scent on you. You must be an alchemist, right?”
“Hm?”
Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
