Lin Fu reached out and wrote on Ji Xiu's palm, "Someone inside might be trying to kill me."
Ji Xiu didn't react this time, revealing a silly smile. If you looked closely, you would see his hand shaking slightly.
The news shocked Lin Fu.
But he quickly figured it out and patted his head as if to lighten the mood, "I got it!"
The two exchanged a tacit understanding with their eyes.
Lin Fu also realized it abruptly, thankful that Fu Xing had told her that morning; otherwise, she might have truly been caught off guard this time.
Since the Old Duchess was unwilling to hand over her power, it was impossible for her to remain indifferent and wait for Lin Fu to seize power. Had she been in the Old Duchess' position, she would have had to do something—either ruin her arranged marriage with Fu Xing or directly eliminate Lin Fu, the obstacle in her path.
Given that her marriage to Fu Xing was stable, she would naturally choose the latter.
