Chapter 12 Meng Huaiyan is angry

Chapter Twelve: Meng Huaiyan is angry

Liu Yuniang's whole body went limp as she watched Feng Hu finally leave.

The fear in his heart was finally relieved, and he felt that he could move his body again. He trembled as he tried to straighten the clothes that Feng Hu had torn apart.

Shen Tang was also still shaken, seeing that Liu Yuniang had tried to button up her clothes several times but couldn't.

He hurriedly reached out to help fasten the buttons, then hugged the still trembling Liu Yuniang and gently patted her back to comfort her.

Since it was a woman's bedroom, Meng Huaiyan didn't want to stay long. Seeing that there was nothing else, he left.

After Liu Yuniang calmed down, the two worked together to clean up the bloodstains in the bedroom and put the items that had been knocked over in the fight back in their places.

It was still dark, and after all that commotion, neither of them could sleep.

Liu Yuniang left the bedroom and saw the big yellow dog that had followed her for seven or eight years lying silently in a pool of blood in the yard.

She had raised this dog when her husband was alive, but now he has passed away and her son is missing.

Even the only dog ​​they had any connection with has now left her.

Liu Yuniang felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She squatted down and softly called Ah Huang's name.

Normally, when Ah Huang hears her call it, it will already be running around her happily.

Now it lies quietly on the ground, but it will never respond to her again.

Liu Yuniang gently stroked Ah Huang's head, and a wave of sorrow washed over her. Tears streamed down her face like broken pearls, and she was sobbing uncontrollably.

Shen Tang was affected by Liu Yuniang's emotions and couldn't help but feel sad. He squatted down beside Liu Yuniang to keep her company.

After crying for a while, Liu Yuniang finally felt a little better. She got up, picked up a hoe from the corner of the wall, dug a deep pit at the gate of the courtyard, and buried Ah Huang.

At this moment, the sky gradually turned a pale white, and dawn was approaching.

Seeing the dark circles under Shen Tang's eyes, Liu Yuniang felt ashamed: "Thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I..."

At this point, Liu Yuniang's voice choked with emotion.

Shen Tang didn't want her to recall the sad things from earlier, so she quickly said, "Thanking me is too formal. You've been up all night, go and get some sleep."

Liu Yuniang nodded and replied softly, "You should go and rest too."

"good."

When Shen Tang entered the bedroom, she saw Meng Huaiyan sitting in a chair and asked in surprise, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Meng Huaiyan didn't answer her question, but asked, "Is everything handled?"

Shen Tang hummed in agreement, feeling somewhat tired.

Just as she was about to go to bed, Meng Huaiyan called out to her, "Come here."

Shen Tang asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Your hand needs medicine."

Shen Tang then noticed her wrists. Her skin was delicate and easily left marks if she wasn't careful.

The area where Feng Hu had pinched her wrist was covered with several red finger marks, which looked rather shocking on her fair wrist.

Shen Tang moved her wrist; it was only slightly painful, not to the point where she needed to apply medicine.

She was too tired and just wanted to sleep, so she said, "I don't need to apply the medicine anymore. It doesn't hurt much, so it's nothing serious."

Meng Huaiyan ignored him, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Come here, I don't want to repeat myself."

Seeing Meng Huaiyan's dark and gloomy face, Shen Tang felt inexplicably afraid and couldn't help but think that he was troublesome.

He obediently walked over and sat down opposite Meng Huaiyan.

Shen Tang raised her wrist, and Meng Huaiyan saw the shocking red finger marks covering her wrist.

The violent aura that had been so hard to suppress suddenly surged up again.

The hand applying the medicine unconsciously lost some of its strength.

Shen Tang cried out in pain from the force.

Meng Huaiyan subconsciously loosened his grip a little, but the force he used still caused her a slight pain.

Shen Tang was in great pain and wanted to pull her hand away, but Meng Huaiyan grabbed her hand quickly.

She struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free.

Meng Huaiyan softened his touch, and after a while, he saw that the fingerprints left by the man had been covered up by the new marks he had made.

They finally stopped.

The violent anger in my heart finally dissipated somewhat.

Now, seeing only the red marks he left on her wrist, a secret, satisfying pleasure suddenly rose in his heart.

Shen Tang looked down at her wrist, which was covered in a large red patch, looking even more horrifying than before she applied the medicine.

It's better not to apply any medicine at all.

Shen Tang was speechless and glared at him angrily.

Meng Huaiyan seemed not to notice her gaze, and got up with a normal expression, walking towards the bed: "It's time to rest."

Shen Tang: "......"

After a night of tossing and turning, Shen Tang was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the bed.

She slept exceptionally soundly, and when she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.

Meng Huaiyan was not in the room, so Shen Tang quickly washed up and went out.

Meng Huaiyan was taking a walk in the courtyard.

Liu Yuniang was busy in the kitchen. When she saw Shen Tang wake up, she hurriedly told them to wash their hands and eat.

Last night was too rushed and not the right time, so Shen Tang didn't have a chance to ask.

Seeing that Liu Yuniang was in a calm mood, she couldn't help but ask, "Who was that man last night? How could he be so arrogant, not even putting the law in his eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuniang sighed, her face full of helplessness: "His name is Feng Hu. He is a notorious bully in our village. He is usually domineering and wicked."

“The villagers were all angry with him but dared not speak out.”

"But his sister became the concubine of the magistrate of Fenglin County a couple of years ago. With the magistrate as her connection, she became even more unscrupulous and lawless."

Liu Yuniang's voice choked with sobs: "The daughter of Old Man Liu in our village was targeted and violated by that Feng Hu because she was beautiful."

"When Old Man Liu found out, he went to the county government to report it to the authorities. The county magistrate not only failed to uphold justice, but was instead accused of making a false accusation."

"Old Liu was beaten with thirty strokes of the cane. He did not receive timely medical treatment in prison and eventually died unjustly."

"And Old Liu's daughter couldn't bear the blow and hanged herself."

Liu Yuniang's chest heaved violently as she clenched her teeth and said bitterly, "That Feng Hu and the magistrate are a bunch of beasts! They deserve to be torn to pieces!"

Hearing this from the side, Shen Tang was so angry that her body trembled uncontrollably: "How could they do this!"

"That old man Liu and his daughter were driven to their deaths by them, while Feng Hu is still alive and kicking as if nothing happened."

"That corrupt official treats human life so lightly, he can't distinguish right from wrong, is there no one to stop him?!"

Liu Yuniang frowned deeply, her face full of worry, and sighed deeply, saying, "The county magistrate is the highest official here, so who can control him?"

"Isn't there still a governor? Why don't you sue him?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuniang's sorrow deepened. She shook her head with a bitter smile and said helplessly, "How can we ordinary people like us just meet the governor whenever we want?"

"I'm afraid they'll be imprisoned by the county magistrate's men before they even reach the territory under the governor's jurisdiction."

“We didn’t even have a chance to speak.”

Shen Tang listened with an expression of disbelief on her face.
