But this was not Hou Liao, it was Great Lin
Qiao Zihua sat on the ground, groaning in pain.
Tang Si, on the other hand, laughed loudly with her hands on her hips.
She had avenged the cold shoulder, and the hatred she felt from Mo Ruo today had lessened somewhat.
Qiao Zihua's nose was sore, and liquid flowed out. He quickly wiped it with his sleeve, and realized it was a nosebleed. His eyes widened in fear, and his face stiffened.
"Blood … blood …" His voice trembled.
Tang Si glanced at him, and said disdainfully, "You're a big man, but you're acting like a girl. Isn't it just a nosebleed? It's not like it's going to kill you. What a coward. "
"You …"
"What about you? I hit you because I think highly of you. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother to look at you. "She was still in the right.
Qiao Zihua felt wronged, and turned to look at the hall, hoping that his second uncle would quickly come out and save him. He didn't want to stay here a moment longer.
Tang Si picked up the slightly shriveled cuju again, and weighed it in her hand. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she approached him with evil intentions.
She hadn't bullied him enough yet!
A figure suddenly stood in front of her, blocking her path.
Blocking her way.
Without another word, Mo Ruo reached out to help Qiao Zihua up, but the latter's spine seemed to have really been broken, and he groaned in pain as he was pulled up.
"It hurts … my waist is broken."
"That's not your waist, it's your spine." Mo Ruo corrected him.
Being uneducated could be quite scary sometimes.
He didn't dare to move recklessly, afraid that he would break in two. He could only borrow Mo Ruo's strength to walk to the stone table.
"Lie down."
"Huh?"
"I told you to lie down." Mo Ruo frowned.
Although he was puzzled, he did as he was told.
His entire body sprawled on the stone table, like a plate of food waiting to be bitten.
Tang Si walked over and tugged at Mo Ruo, "Hey, are you trying to go against me on purpose? We haven't even settled our business, and now you're interfering. Are you doing this on purpose? "
"My business? It's nothing. "
"You mean you won't admit it?"
"If I didn't do it, why should I admit it?"
"You …" She was so angry that her chest hurt. "Fine, we have plenty of time to solve our problems. For now, I won't allow you to help him. He deserves it."
Mo Ruo was helpless. Black lines appeared on his forehead. "Miss Tang, a person's life is at stake. Do you know that if you injure the spine, it's the same as having one foot in the King of Hell? I won't stop you if you want to teach someone a lesson, but if someone dies, you'll implicate us."
So serious?
Tang Si also knew the severity of the matter. After a moment of hesitation, she stomped her feet a few times and sat down on the stone bench at the side.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and treat him. I'll call him again after you're done."
Qiao Zihua expressed that he really felt very stifled!
He had been shot while lying down!
Mo Ruo began to press a few times on his spine. His technique was quite skilled, but he used a bit more force.
With a few cracking sounds, the dislocated spine returned to its original position.
"Get up and twist."
Qiao Zihua shifted his butt and carefully straightened his body. He twisted his waist and found that it was no longer painful.
"I'm really fine now. It doesn't hurt at all. You're really amazing."
"It's good that it doesn't hurt anymore."
"Many thanks, Young Master. May I ask for your name?"
Mo Ruo felt that this guy was quite interesting. No matter how he looked at it, he had nothing to do with that perverted murderer.
Tang Si got up and glared at Qiao Zihua again, preparing to attack.
He instinctively shrank behind Mo Ruo. "Miss, there's no enmity between us. If I've offended you before, I apologize. You've already hit me and scolded me. Shouldn't the anger in your heart be gone now?"
"Not yet!" She shouted loudly.
The next moment, she raised her hand and struck out with her palm.
She had thought that she was going to hit Qiao Zihua, but her palm was actually aimed at Mo Ruo's chest.
Fortunately, Mo Ruo reacted in time and dodged to the side, causing her palm to hit nothing but air. The force could only softly hit the air.
She did not give up. Striking while the iron was hot, she continued to tangle with Mo Ruo.
The two of them fought for a few rounds, unable to determine the winner. Finally, they stopped when their strength was exhausted.
She glared at him, panting. "I'm not done with you."
"I'm not fighting anymore. It's too boring."
Mo Ruo turned and left. Tang Si immediately followed.
In the end, only Qiao Zihua was left standing there alone.
It was as if nothing had happened. He was a little confused.
Mo Ruo circled to the backyard and walked quickly. Tang Si quickly caught up with him and whispered in his ear, "You beast, this is the first time this miss has slept on the same bed with a man. Don't think that just because our clothes are intact, it means nothing happened."
He ignored her.
"Are you deaf? I'm talking to you! "
She continued to ignore him.
"Mo Ruo, this great aunt has formed a grudge with you. If you don't give me an explanation, I'll pester you for the rest of my life. Let's see what you'll do then."
Suddenly —
He stopped in his tracks and turned to face her. He lowered his head slightly to look at the woman in front of him who was fuming with anger.
"Miss Tang, this is supposed to be a small matter, but if you continue to be so thickheaded and make a fuss, who knows if everyone will know that we slept together last night. When that happens, even if we're innocent, it'll be hard to explain. It'll be your reputation that'll be ruined. I'm a man, so I don't care."
The words "don't care" that came out of his mouth sounded like he didn't care at all.
Tang Si's face flushed red. She looked around vigilantly, lowered her voice, and said through gritted teeth, "If this happened in Houliao, I guarantee that you'd already be dead."
"But this isn't Houliao, this is the Great Lin!"
"You …" She clenched her fists in anger.
Mo Ruo had already left!
At the same time, Ji Yunshu sat in the courtyard, standing next to the skeleton, thinking about what Qiao Zihua had said.
An open window!
A fallen screen!
A cup on the ground!
A cat that had been strangled to death!
There was one point that she couldn't figure out.
If Qiao Zihua was knocked unconscious, then it meant that the culprit had been hiding in the house the whole time, and the open window proved that the culprit had jumped out of the window. Since that was the case, then where did the cat that had not appeared when Qiao Zihua went in come in from?
The key point was that cat!
Ji Yunshu thought about it. It seemed that she would have to make a trip to the brothel tomorrow to search for more clues.
Aunty Xie had appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. She was still holding the greyish-yellow cloth bundle as she stumbled in, her eyes fixed on the skeleton covered by the white cloth.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she struggled to walk.
"Ye 'er, Mother is here to see you." She tore open the cloth bundle and took out the rag doll. With trembling hands, she placed it on the white cloth and cried, "Mother knows that you like this rag doll very much. When the truth is revealed, I will burn it for you."
"Aunty Xie, don't be sad."
She wiped away her tears, "Teacher, is the Qiao family here?"
"Mm."
"What did that beast say?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely give Miss Ye 'er justice."
"Then can I stay here and accompany her?"
"Of course."
Ji Yunshu didn't want to disturb her, so she returned to her room.
