After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 720: People from the Jin Kingdom?

Yu Wanwan came out holding the crying Pipi, and saw Xia Wanniang also coming out: "What happened?"

Xia Wanniang shook her head: "I don't know. I'll go take a look. You go and comfort Pipi first."

As soon as Pippi saw her, she looked pitiful, with tears in her eyes.

Xia Wanniang walked up to him and touched his little head: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Our Pipi is the bravest."

She walked out after she finished speaking. Halfway through her walk, she saw Chai Song running over in a hurry: "Madam, it's Mr. Qiu. Something happened in North City."

Xia Wanniang hurried to the front gate and saw Mr. Qiu smelling of alcohol, but he was sober. "What's going on?"

"I was watching the moon on the roof today, and I saw a few sneaky people throwing some things into the well." Qiu He looked like he happened to see them.

Xia Wanniang just felt a headache: "Let's go to the well where they threw the things first."

Qiu He took them to the well, which was already guarded by soldiers.

When the soldier saw her, he took the initiative to make way for her: "Madam."

Xia Wanniang looked at the soldiers beside her and said, "No one has ever drawn water from the well!"

"No, we came here as soon as we received the news. Because it was late at night, no one had come to use the water from these wells."

Xia Wanniang nodded and asked Chai Song to fetch a bucket of water: "Qiu He, have you caught the person?"

Qiu He: "All the ones I saw have been captured and sent to the Northwest Military Camp. As for the others I didn't see, we need to investigate further."

"You should go back first. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep today. Find all the spies in the North City." She paused and said, "Are they from the Jin Kingdom?"

Qiu He nodded: "How did you know?"

"Now only the Jin Kingdom will be angry and humiliated. They also came to buy grain, but we sold it to the Prime Minister instead of them. If it were you, wouldn't you also find a way to kill us?" Xia Wanniang said lightly.

Qiu He narrowed his eyes: "They are planning to drag us to death with them."

Xia Wanniang: "Normal. Now that the two countries are at war, food and grass have become the key. The land of the Jin Kingdom is barren to begin with. Even though it has conquered many small countries before, it has only just started to grow high-yield crops. How much food and grass can it supply?"

Qiu He: "I was negligent."

Xia Wanniang: "This has nothing to do with you. North City has opened up to trade, so it's easy for them to come in. Since they want to hide their identities, it's normal that it's difficult for you to find out."

She didn't mean to blame Qiu He. There were so many people traveling to and from the North City every day. If they were to check them one by one, it would be exhausting.

I can only say that these people were very unlucky today. They could have met anyone else but Mr. Qiu.

Qiu He did not stay any longer and immediately went back to check the North City. Now people from other countries are not considered a hidden danger, but people from the Jin Kingdom are definitely a hidden danger.

Chai Song brought up some water from the well and placed it in front of Xia Wanniang: "Madam."

Xia Wanniang took out a lot of bottles and jars from her bag and began to test whether there was any poison in the water.

But she tested it for a long time, and no matter what the poison was, there was no reaction.

Didn't they poison her, or was it a poison she didn't know about?

Seeing her serious expression, Chai Song did not dare to speak out to interrupt her thoughts.

Xia Wanniang looked at the water in the bucket. There were torches lit all around, and the reflection in the water was a little dark and unclear, and even the well water was a little unclear.

She looked at the torches around her: "Move the torch closer and shine it into the bucket."

The soldier and Chai Song both held the torches in their hands closer so that the light could shine into the bucket.

This way you can see clearly what's inside the bucket.

Chai Song saw some white particles in the bucket and asked, "What are these?" He was about to reach out to touch them.

Xia Wanniang quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Don't move."

Chai Song quickly withdrew his hand: "Madam, what are these?"

Xia Wanniang was not sure what it was, so she took out a miniature microscope from her bag and carefully placed the thing in the water onto the glass.

She lowered her head to check the things under the microscope and found that these small white particles were actually alive and were constantly wriggling.
