Meanwhile, at the City Lord's Mansion.
Lin Rou walked out of her room and headed straight towards her sleeping quarters. She had just gone to see the City Lord and requested that he have Liu Zheng sent away.
"What are you waiting for? Get him out of here!" Lin Rou said to the guards behind her.
The guards, following orders, immediately dragged Liu Zheng out by the arms.
...
In Lin Rou's sleeping quarters.
A maid knelt on the ground and said, "Miss Lin Rou, I have brought the person to you as you instructed!"
"Mhm, you've worked hard," Lin Rou replied indifferently, a strange smile on her face.
"It was no trouble," the maid shook her head and said, "I shall take my leave."
Having said that, the maid respectfully bowed and turned to leave.
Once the maid had left, Lin Rou walked over to the table, flipped it over, revealing a wooden box underneath.
Lin Rou opened the wooden box, inside lay a black pill.
