Susu sat back on the bed and buried her face in her arms. Xiaowan came over to her and asked softly, "Susu, are you angry?
"How could he be angry?" Susu voice was like a fly, he reached out his hand and grabbed Xiaowan's arm, "But like I said, you can't laugh at me, and you can't look down on me."
Xiaowan nodded her head again and again. Susu's eyes were rimmed red as tears glistened in her eyes, "Ever since I met him on the road the day before, and met him everyday, I have been feeling especially at ease. Actually, I didn't dare to tell you guys that I was afraid to walk this far by myself in the early morning. Since you told me not to come so early, I'm happy. After all, the sky is bright, and there are a lot of people on the road. But I couldn't meet him if I was late, so I come early every day. "
"Susu?" Xiaowan blinked her eyes, "Are you …"
The two sisters had similar thoughts, Xiaowan had already understood. Susu cried like the rain, and said, "A person like me is not qualified, and in the end, something like this even happened. He saw me in such a sorry state yesterday, Xiaowan, I really can't live anymore. I thought maybe I could keep it a secret and just assume, just assume, that I was a dead man, from somewhere else. "
Xiaowan hugged the trembling person.
Susu cried: "But now, there's no need to even lie, there's no need."
Xiaowan wiped her tears, not knowing what to say to comfort her.
If it really was Yue Huaiyin who sent people to rape Susu, she would definitely hate Susu for leaving the Rouge Shop Transfer Inn. She clearly wanted to make sure that Susu would not have a difficult life, and maybe there would be a next time if she didn't succeed this time.
As for Ling Chaofeng leaving the Baisha Village and heading straight to the Baisha County Yamen, it was said that the county magistrate had lost his mind and gone mad.
As everyone had said that he was the one who had released Ling Chaofeng and locked him up in the prison, and was then forced back to his own home by everyone, even his wife and concubine had said this to him, the county magistrate was a little dazed.
He couldn't remember anything about what happened last night, not even a dream. If he wasn't possessed, or if he had run into a ghost, this Ling Xiao Inn really had a lot of origins.
It was the Constable Li that Ling Chaofeng was familiar with. He followed Master Liang and went to the Li Prefecture, and when they met again, he was still very polite, saying that Master Liang had asked the Prefecture Lord to make a trip.
The magistrate did not dare disobey, he looked at Ling Chaofeng and waved his hand: "Let's go, if there is anything else I can send people to find you, these few days, you are not allowed to go far, trafficking in human beings is a capital offense, you just have to be careful."
Outside the yamen, Ling Chaofeng said his goodbyes to the Constable Li, who said: "Manager Ling, don't worry, anything is up to Lord Liang, Lord Liang listened to your words and did not explicitly mention anything to this pus, but there is someone installed inside the yamen, if there is anything, it will be known by the yamen very quickly, and it will not affect you at all."
The Constable Li was even more polite than before, and before they left, he added, "Furthermore, when we arrived at the Li Prefecture, we found out a few things. Last year's newly opened Rouge Shop, the boss there seemed to have some background, Lord Liang had not completely figured it out yet, but I heard that she was related to Master Meng before. I heard that you guys are interacting with each other, so just take it that I'm being overly cautious. Manager Ling, be careful. "
Ling Chaofeng cupped his fists and said: "Thank you Big Brother Li, Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao are very concerned about you. After a few days, we will come to Li Prefecture to pay our respects."
After the two said their goodbyes, magistrate also rode on his palanquin and headed towards the Li Prefecture. Ling Chaofeng left the yamen and galloped his horse over to a familiar infirmary. After sitting in the infirmary for a while, he headed over to the Siyun Pavilion.
The neighbors around them seemed to know that Susu was sick. Although they didn't understand what had happened, they still came to visit enthusiastically and gave pickles and pickles to the First Mother. The Eldest Aunt had no choice but to talk to them in the courtyard.
Xiaowan was having lunch with Susu inside the house. Susu didn't have much appetite and only had a few mouthfuls of rice soup.
At this moment, he heard his aunt say, "Miss, why have you come?"
Susu did not expect that Yue Huaiyin would actually trick her, but the Xiaowan had already treated this person as the same as the Madam Xu, to the point that they would never forgive him.
Auntie Chen led Yue Huaiyin in as she walked in, her body radiating with spring light. Her beauties wore the black garment with the skirt tied to her chest, and the light yellow muslin dress fluttered in the wind as she walked in, each step gentle and graceful, with the usual fragrance.
This kind of goddess-like person, made the neighboring women unable to leave and followed over to take a look. Auntie Chen invited Yue Huaiyin to sit, then went to welcome them.
"So Xiaowan is here as well. What's wrong with Susu, are you sick? Your complexion is so bad." Yue Huaiyin asked in concern, and she said, "I just happened to pass by here today, and knew that you all were staying here, so I wanted to take a look. I thought that you would just see the aunt, but didn't expect that all of you would be here. I even thought that Susu should be working in the tavern right now. "
Susu bowed respectfully without saying a word. Xiaowan said lightly at the side, "Susu is not feeling very well today, let me accompany her."
In her heart, she really wanted to charge forward and tear off Yue Huaiyin's face so that she could tear off her skin and let others see the rotten feeling in her heart, but she couldn't be impulsive.
Although the Jade Ring had told her who the culprit was, she didn't have any evidence. She acted blindly and recklessly, but if Yue Huaiyin got into trouble, she was afraid of nothing else, she was afraid that Susu might be humiliated again and her Baisha Village wouldn't be able to hold up any further.
She gradually realized that the more capable a person was, the more they would not be able to do as they pleased. It was because they could plan everything out well and control the general situation that they could do so much. And to be impulsive was just a moment of being straightforward. After that, it might be endless trouble.
Wasn't it just a moment of passion that she had impulsively sent Susu and Auntie Chen to the dock? So far, so many troubles had been involved.
Xiaowan calmed herself down and said gently, "Miss Yue, Susu's health is not good, I'm afraid I cannot accompany you to chat more. Wait for her to recover, we …"
Yue Huaiyin said: "Then let's change the day. I'm at the inn, ever since I've eaten the food made by the Uncle Biao, the rest have become tasteless."
Xiaowan did not say anything, but Yue Huaiyin moved closer and asked with concern: "Susu, why are you injured, who hit you?"
Susu curled up her hands and feet, shook her head forcefully, and hid in Xiaowan's embrace. Xiaowan said, "Miss Yue, you saw wrong."
Yue Huaiyin nodded: "Perhaps I was mistaken. Whatever, since I know that you and Auntie Chen are doing well, I can relax." She got up and took a look at this tile room. It was plain and ordinary as she smiled, "The two of you should still be careful of the door if you want to live here. "Alright, I'll be going. In a few days, I'll have the people in the shop send you some things."
Susu laid in the Xiaowan's embrace as she protected him. She did not say anything as she endured her anger, but at this moment, there was the sound of hooves outside the door. Not long after, Ling Chaofeng's figure appeared outside the door.
Yue Huaiyin sashayed out and looked at Ling Chaofeng: "Manager Ling is here too? "Coincidentally, we met each other here."
Ling Chaofeng had been worried that Yue Huaiyin would go to her home, and as expected, he was worried that the Xiaowan would not hold back, and would even start a fight with Yue Huaiyin.
He never thought that everything would go on as usual after rushing over. Seeing that Xiaowan was accompanying Susu, he heaved a sigh of relief, and was even more relieved. He knew that Xiaowan was not stupid.
"Evening. I'll send Boss Yue off." Ling Chaofeng stood in front of the door and said, "Wait for me here."
The corners of Yue Huaiyin's eyes hooked up to a touch of coldness. With a cold smile, she lifted up her skirt and walked out, then went back to her carriage, and instructed the servants to move forward. She didn't care about Ling Chaofeng at all, whether or not she wanted to follow along.
But on the way, the sound of unhurried horse hooves could be heard from behind. Yue Huaiyin sat in the car and proudly smiled as she took out a small paper bag from her chest pocket and held it in her palm.
Returning to the Baisha Town, Yue Huaiyin alighted from the carriage and saw that Ling Chaofeng was behind him. The shop assistant in the carriage was very enthusiastic: "Manager Ling, you've come, are you here to buy rouge powder for my wife?"
Yue Huaiyin casually walked in and instructed everyone: "You guys do not need to be busy. Manager Ling and I have some business matters to discuss in the rear courtyard. You guys just have to take care of the business outside. If someone comes looking for me, tell them to come back another day. "
Everyone agreed, and Yue Huaiyin did not deliberately lead the way, but instead, she followed her. When they reached the side room, the servant girl gave them tea and ordered them to leave, the back yard immediately became quiet, as though there was no one there.
Yue Huaiyin walked to the door and locked it as if nothing had happened, then returned back to the table and brought a cup of tea in front of Ling Chaofeng, "Manager Ling, have some tea."
"I'm not busy." Ling Chaofeng said, "Since I have come, I naturally have something to ask, so it's better for everyone to get straight to the point."
"We are all businessmen, we don't beat around the bush." Yue Huaiyin looked at him with a smile and asked, "Manager Ling, what do you want to talk about?"
Ling Chaofeng remained calm: "Miss Yue, do you come from the capital?"
Yue Huaiyin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked coldly: "How is it?"
Ling Chaofeng said: "In the Green Tower in the capital, I have to visit the Immortal Pavilion. I only met Hua Kui in the Immortal Pavilion whom I haven't seen before, and I heard that he has disappeared for the past two years."
"Visit the Immortal pavilion …" Yue Huaiyin lowered her head to fiddle with the teacup in front of her, and faintly said, "What a familiar name."
"It is the place where Miss Yue was born and raised. You are naturally familiar with it."
"You've already investigated carefully?" Yue Huaiyin's sharp gaze surrendered to Ling Chaofeng, and pounced in front of him, "Since that's the case, then you should know as well …"
Yue Huaiyin did not know what came out from his palm, but it struck right at Ling Chaofeng's nose and mouth. The fragrance was strange, as it rushed towards her head.
With a loud bang, the tall and big man fell from his chair. Ling Chaofeng's eyes were tightly shut, and he was completely unconscious.
