Chapter 58 Tong Li betrays Xu Jiashu and calls him a beast

Prince Yu's Mansion.

In addition to being injured in his left arm, King Yu was also hit by an arrow in the thigh and was finally carried into the courtyard.

The atmosphere in the yard was depressing and no one dared to make a sound.

Xu Jiashu was quietly taken out of the Xu Mansion by the secret guards, taken to Prince Yu's Mansion and thrown into the yard.

Several of King Yu's trusted guards took turns to fight. Even Xu Jiashu, who had been unharmed before, was no match for them, not to mention that he was now seriously injured and had to face several secret guards in turn.

After a while, Xu Jiashu was beaten and lying on the ground covered in blood.

As miserable as a dog.

"Xu Jiashu, you should clean up the people around you. If it happens again, you will commit suicide and apologize."

King Yu only brought a few trusted secret guards with him on this trip, and they all kept their mouths shut. He originally wanted to bring Xu Jiashu with him, but Xu Jiashu was injured yesterday, so King Yu ordered him to recuperate at home.

But unexpectedly, Xu Jiashu gave him a big surprise.

Xu Jiashu propped himself up and stood up, assuring King Yu: "Your Highness, there will definitely not be a next time."

King Yu did not respond, and several guards stepped forward again.

Xu Jiashu was beaten so badly that he couldn't utter a word, but King Yu spared his life.

Drunk in the breeze.

Although Tong Li wore a veil at the poetry gathering yesterday, some rumors still spread that the woman who was boating with Xu Jiashu was the courtesan whom Xu Jiashu embraced a few days ago when he was investigating a case in Zui Qingfeng.

When Tong Li came back yesterday, she looked calm as if nothing had happened. She had practiced pipa in the piano room all day and was preparing to go back to her room after dinner in the afternoon.

As soon as I opened the door, I found that there was an oil lamp lit inside and the light was dim.

The time she calculated was correct, Xu Jiashu is here.

There was a strong smell of blood in the room.

Tong Li slowly closed the door, and Xu Jiashu walked out from behind the curtain, his body covered with scars and unbandaged, much more serious than yesterday's.

Xu Jiashu looked weak, staring at Tong Li with a dark face: "Why?"

Tong Li couldn't help but take a step back, "You...Jiashu, I don't know what you are talking about?"

Xu Jiashu slowly approached Tong Li and slowly grabbed Tong Li's slender neck with his hands:

"I was at your place the night before the poetry gathering. I was so stupid. Thinking we hadn't seen each other for years, I blurted out King Yu's itinerary. Li Li, why did you betray me? If I had gone with His Highness today, would you have killed me too?"

Tong Li's breathing became increasingly difficult. "Jiashu... I really... I don't know. Your injury needs treatment. Can I go get a doctor for you?"

Xu Jiashu threw Tong Li to the ground: "Don't be hypocritical, Your Highness doubted me, and I only told you, who else could it be besides you?"

Tong Li touched his neck, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and he stopped pretending. He just stared at Xu Jiashu coldly without saying a word.

Xu Jiashu gradually collapsed. He was now bearing the blame for Tong Li, even though they were such good friends...

Tong Li's lips curled up slightly: "You really don't know? Xu Jiashu, are you really so innocent?"

The string in Xu Jiashu's mind suddenly broke, "What do you mean?"

"Jiashu, you really had nothing to do with my being abducted back then?"

There was a flash of panic in Xu Jiashu's eyes, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.

"Back then, your sister used her maid to find the kidnappers from Luohan Mountain. They hijacked the Xu family's carriage in the bamboo forest. The horses got spooked and ran away, dragging Madam Xu with them. To save your mother, Jing Yang chased after them. She jumped onto the carriage, turned it around, and crashed it into a tree. The force of the force threw her off the cliff."

"And what about Xu Yinlin? Xu Yinlin conspired with the kidnappers to sell me away so they could pin the blame on Jing Yang."

Xu Jiashu panicked, "Tong Li, that's not the case. Yinlin was unconscious at the time and she didn't know anything."

Tong Li smiled. "I saw the whole thing clearly. Xu Yinlin was pretending to be unconscious. She let the kidnappers lock me up in that old woman's country yard. You came to the yard at that time. You could have saved me. Why didn't you?"

Xu Jiashu suddenly covered his head: "Stop talking!"

Tong Li sneered: "Why can't you say it?"

Tong Li's tears slowly flowed down her face. "Jiashu, I was locked in the woodshed. I saw you through the crack in the door. Why didn't you come in? Why didn't you come in?! You're afraid! You're afraid that everything will be related to Xu Yinlin, and you're afraid that the woman was instructed by Xu Yinlin!"

"You're afraid Xu Yinlin will be branded a murderer. For Xu Yinlin's sake, you've not only ignored me, but you've also pinned the entire blame on your own sister."

"Xu Jiashu, you are a beast!"

Xu Jiashu swung his sword and directly cut the table in half, roaring: "I told you to shut up!"

"You're a coward. Jing Yang and I are innocent! My father couldn't find me and eventually died of depression. You, like Xu Yinlin, are murderers!!"

"No, it was Xu Jingyang's letter that walked out of that bandit. She's the one with the problem!" Xu Jiashu took deep breaths. "It was Xu Jingyang who did it. It was Xu Jingyang who did it."

Tong Li burst into laughter. "From your grandfather to the maidservants beside Xu Yinlin, Jing Yang has written prescriptions for them. It's just imitation writing on letter paper. Who can't do it?"

"You're just deluding yourself. You can't stand the condemnation in your heart, so you're putting it all on Jing Yang. Jing Yang cured my mother's cold and rescued her from the King of Hell. But in the end, he was pissed off to death because of my disappearance. You should die with Xu Yinlin!"

Xu Jiashu suddenly dropped his sword, half-knelt beside Tong Li, and held Tong Li's shoulders tightly. "That's not the case, Li Li, let me explain."

"I thought about going back to look for you, but I couldn't find you. Lili, I searched all over the capital, even the northwest and the south, but I couldn't find you."

Tong Li stood up and slowly took off her outer robe, revealing her shoulders and arms, which were covered with scars.

Xu Jiashu seemed to be struck by lightning and stood there motionless.

"I saw you through the crack in the door at that time. Do you know how lucky I was? I was afraid that you would give up on me. But you left, Xu Jiashu. It was you who left me first. The woman's son tried to violate me, but I injured his penis. The woman hated me so much that she beat me until my body was covered with scars. She then sold me to a brothel in Jiangnan. I didn't want to receive any customers, so I jumped from the second floor and broke my leg. In the end, I was dragged back by the pimp..."

"Now, I have been sold to the capital."

Xu Jiashu picked up the clothes and put them on her. "I'm sorry, Li Li, I'm sorry. I really have my reasons."

Tong Li took a deep breath, "So, what right do you have to blame me now?"

Xu Jiashu wiped his face and said, "Li Li, tell me, who is behind you?"

Tong Li said nothing. He turned around and twisted a handkerchief for Xu Jiashu, handing it to him: "I won't tell. He saved me, and a life is more important than heaven. Even if you kill me, I won't say a word."

Xu Jiashu: "Is it King Zhou?"

Tong Li looked at him without saying a word.

Xu Jiashu gave Tong Li a last deep look, said nothing, and turned away.

Tong Li threw the handkerchief back into the basin with a sneer on his face.

There is a knock on the door.

Tong Li: "Come in."

The madam came in cautiously and asked, "Miss, are your injuries serious?"

Tong Li shook his head, "How long will it take for him to arrive?"

"About fifteen days."

Tong Li nodded, and the madam retreated cautiously.

Xu Jiashu rented a carriage and returned to the Xu Mansion in a daze.

I ran into Xu Suyuan who had just finished his shift at the gate of Xu's house.

Xu Suyuan looked disgusted and frowned, and ordered the doorman to find someone to carry Xu Jiashu, who could hardly walk steadily, in.

Xu Suyuan continued to walk inside. Xu Jiashu called out to him from behind, "Brother, now that Yinlin is back, will you stay in the mansion from now on?"

Xu Suyuan turned around and said calmly, "Of course."

That night, after Xu Shibing returned home, the Xu family members discussed and decided to treat Xu Yinlin at all costs.
