Chapter 75: Seeing Injustice

In early autumn, the wind is not so hot anymore.

The sun was shining brightly, and the wind was a bit cool in the morning.

They walked in the mountains and forests, one in front and one behind. The one in front walked faster, while the one behind walked much slower.

Jiaoran waved at him with his stick, and after walking a few steps further, he stuck the stick into the ground and said, "Come on, reach for this."

Panting, Mu Jin walked a few steps and stopped, "You're walking too fast. Wait for me. I'm not good enough for that. What a shame."

Jiaoran agreed with this and pulled out the stick stuck in the soil and threw it far away. "Go, get this back."

Mu Jin was so angry that she bent down, picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it at her, "Are you training the dog?"

Don't say, it really does look like that. Jiaoran chuckled a few times, "It was the doctor in Chai Che's courtyard who told you not to lie there for too long. You need to move around."

Mu Jin said this, but her feet involuntarily walked to the stick and handed it back to her, "Are you still leaving?"

Jiaoran nodded. He was tired after walking for only a short while. How lazy.

"Go back. I think the wound has opened again."

Jiao Ran was surprised for a moment, and took a few steps forward to rip open his clothes. "Oh, no, that was an illusion. It's fine, not torn, and there's no bleeding."

He looked around, "This isn't good."

Jiaoran said, "Okay, okay, I won't do that next time." He straightened his clothes and said, "When you get better, remember to serve me."

Seeing his puzzled expression, Jiao Ran explained, "I came to the Governor's Mansion three years ago to serve you. Now that I'm back, I'm still serving you. I wasn't born to serve others. Tell me, don't you want to serve me back?"

Before this, they had entered this puppet show, each playing a role: he was responsible for playing the role of a noble and frail young man, while she was the clever maid who had just entered the governor's mansion. Although he knew that she also had ulterior motives and bad intentions, he was happy to play that masked game with her.

Now they are back to square one, he still likes to play various games with her, it seems that three years have passed and they have not changed at all.

Jiaoran handed him the stick and said, "You'd better walk on your own."

"You won't hold my hand anymore?" He felt a little regretful.

Jiaoran said, "You need to walk more on your own."

"I don't like walking alone, Jiaoran."

Jiaoran walked faster, turned around and smiled at him, "But when people grow up, everyone has to walk alone."

Seeing her walking faster and faster on the steep mountain road, he was anxious to catch up with her, but the arrow wound was still irritating his chest, and he was afraid, not because he was afraid of falling off the cliff, but because he would never see her again if he looked up.

"Jiao Ran!" His voice echoed along the mountain road.

She was so flexible that even with her vagina blocked, she was still more agile than an ordinary woman, just like a butterfly whose wings were only temporarily wet by the rain, but as long as she wanted to shake her wings, she could still fly.

The first thought that came to his mind was to break her wings, but he immediately rejected it. If she was unwilling to stay for him, then all his means would only destroy himself. If she left and went to a distant place unknown to him, he would feel at ease.

So what should he do when she leaves?

He looked at the bottom of the cliff. There was fog between the cliffs. If he disappeared there, he would leave no trace.

He sighed, helpless.

"Hey, I'm here. You called me." Jiaoran grabbed his shoulder. "What are you looking at? Is there anything interesting?"

Following his gaze, I could only see clouds and mist floating around. "There's nothing there."

He looked away, smiled, and said, "I saw a fairy in the cloud, smiling at me."

Jiao Ran pulled him away from the cliff, "There's no fairy here, you're dazzled."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't hold my hand and let me go alone?"

Jiaoran said, "Although sometimes you have to walk a distance alone, some roads are better walked together!" She grinned and said, "Let's walk a few more steps and then return to Siyu Garden."

"good."

Passing by the tree, Jiaoran regained his composure and pointed at it, saying, "Look, that day I stood on that branch and drew my bow at you."

He said, "I know. I saw it."

Jiao Ran said, "Then you said last night it wasn't me. How did you know it wasn't me?"

"I just know that you don't have the guts to kill me."

Jiaoran was a little unconvinced, "I'm very brave."

Continuing to look upwards, she was really upset that night, and perhaps she was not as sensitive to her surroundings as usual. It was possible that someone followed her and shot arrows at Mu Jin.

"Who do you think it will be?" she asked Mu Jin.

Mu Jin shook her head. "For now, I haven't figured out who did it and what their purpose is."

Killing someone doesn't need a purpose, it's just a desire to kill. Jiao Ran said, "There are plenty of people in the mansion who don't like you."

"Who do you think it is?" he asked Jiaoran.

"The firewood is destroyed."

Mu Jin was a little jealous, "Haven't you always been good friends with him?"

Jiao Ran glanced at him and said, "He likes to follow me around. He's young, so it's okay to play with him. I just treat him as a younger brother. Are you jealous?"

"What would you do if it was Thatcher who said he was in love with you?"

Jiao Ran didn't know why he asked this. "Of course he should get out as far as he can. I'm afraid it's too late for him."

"What about Chai Hui?"

"Um?"

"He must have told you countless times that he loves you, and he loves you so much that he doesn't know what to do."

Jiao Ran said yes, "So I beat him up and he came to his senses."

He let go of her hand. "You don't understand at all."

"Hey, why are you angry? Didn't you say you couldn't walk that fast? Wait for me!"

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

Chai Hui had been waiting here for quite a while. Seeing him coming, Mu Jin said coldly, "Let's go."

He blocked Jiaoran's way and asked, "Do you really want to serve him in Siyu Garden?"

Jiaoran was held by his arm, and he was furious when he saw the two of them coming back together.

His movements were not fast. In the past, she would have slapped him in the face. But now it was no longer possible. The situation had changed. She could only let him hold her and could not break free.

Biting people with the upper mouth doesn't seem to be a good idea either.

Let's see what he said first, "What are you doing here?"

She actually asked him what he was doing here, "If I hadn't come, your child would have been born in Siyuyuan."

Jiaoran thought about it and felt that Yuyuan was about to have a child. Although Chai Hui was not very smart, he was quite clever with his mouth.

Mu Jin suddenly slapped him on the chest. Chai Hui let go of Jiaoran and struck back with a palm strike. He used all his strength in this palm strike, and it was a very brutal blow. Jiaoran turned around and stretched out his hands, "Stop!"

She turned around and raised her hand to stop both of them.

Chai Hui had been holding a grudge against him for a long time. He quickly jumped up, his five fingers like hooks, and tried to grab Mu Jin's head, but Mu Jin blocked him and took a few steps back.

It didn't work out well.

Jiao Ran was afraid that Mu Jin would suffer from his injuries, so he quickly threw himself into his arms and said, "You go back first, I'll be back soon."

He could no longer calmly deal with this brat, "Unless you come back with me."

Chai Hui walked up to Jiao Ran, his teeth itching with hatred, "Do you really want to be with this pretty boy?"

Jiao Ran was about to scold him, but when she turned around, she saw tears welling up in his eyes. "Are you crying?"

They really made me cry. Jiaoran felt a little embarrassed and said, "Mu Jin, you go back first. I'll be back in an incense stick of time."

"I don't believe it." He said. He knew Chai Hui too well. If Jiaoran showed any softness in his heart, he would cling to her like a vine.

"If I hadn't returned after that incense stick, you would come looking for me. He couldn't have immediately taken me out of the Governor's Mansion and hidden me in just one incense stick of time, right?"

Before they could agree on anything, Chai Hui grabbed her wrist again, refusing to give in. "If I had known that my second brother was going to cripple your martial arts in order to send you to Siyu Garden, I would have..."

Jiaoran understood immediately, "So it was you who tipped off the person."

He immediately covered his head, fearing that Jiaoran would hit him severely. After squatting for a while, he suddenly remembered that Jiaoran's acupoints had been sealed and he could not use force for the time being.

He said with some regret, "Aren't you going to hit me?"

Mu Jin and Jiao Ran were stunned and looked at each other. Mu Jin then pointed to his head and shook his head.

Jiaoran pulled him up and said, "I'm so tired after walking for a while now, how can I have the energy to hit you? Besides, we won't see each other often in the future. I decided to be nice to you and not hit you anymore. Even if you are annoying me again, I won't hit you."

After Jiaoran finished speaking, he was overwhelmed with grief and regret. He felt that a day without being beaten by her was an incomplete day. Since she left, Jinlin Garden was empty and no one scolded him.

What he wanted was to irritate Jiaoran. Her slap on his face would feel a little painful but also a little pleasurable. He wanted Jiaoran to grab his arm, push him to the ground, and then point at his nose and tell him to get out.

Those beatings made him feel that Jiaoran still cared about him very much.

But now that Jiaoran is here, the sharpness in her body has suddenly decreased a lot. She also said that she would be nicer to him. Is this obedient and gentle Jiaoran still herself?

He didn't like her like this, it was not interesting at all.

I should have known better than to come up with that bad idea and let my second brother seal her martial arts.

Seeing him leave with a cold snort, Jiao Ran still hadn't reacted, "He's leaving now?"

Mu Jin said, "He's a little mentally unstable, so leave him alone."

In the middle of the night, when she was half asleep, Jiaoran heard some slight noises. She tiptoed up, but as soon as she turned over, Mu Jin woke up.

"You weren't asleep?" he asked her.

"I need to relieve myself."

"There's a chamber pot, don't go out."

Jiaoran agreed, "I'll go outside to drink some tea. I'm very thirsty."

"Well, go ahead, don't take too long."

Jiaoran agreed to everything, put on his coat, and went out to open the door. He saw Shaofeng and Susu keeping watch. Shaofeng had fallen asleep, but Susu was still awake. Jiaoran sighed, "I'm going out."

Su Su suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly, "What are you going out for?"

Jiao Ran said, "I'm going to the toilet."

Su Su said, "Isn't there a chamber pot?"

Jiaoran shook his head and said, "I'm going to the toilet."

She whispered helplessly, "I'll go with you with the lamp, don't step in."

Jiaoran took a lamp and said, "No, don't wake Shaofeng up, I'll go by myself."

"How can that be?" she said.

Jiaoran had already passed them and walked away with the lantern.

At this time, the room on the other side was almost a fierce battlefield.

Cheng Yuan's mouth was blocked by a handkerchief, and she bit Chai Lie's lips until they bled.

He lifted her wrist with just one hand and tore her apart without hesitation.

She was too presumptuous. In his eyes, he felt like he was not a man in front of her. As soon as Mu Jin came back, she became completely different.

To do so would be a betrayal in his eyes.

A woman who betrays a man should be taught a lesson.

He bit her shoulder like a wild animal. Cheng Yuan was terrified and unable to control her fear. She heard him declare in her ear, "Between you and me, it's not your intention that counts, it's mine. Don't you understand? If I don't stop, you have no right to ask me to leave."

He pinched her chin and kissed her, his lips covered in blood. "Don't you know how sincere I am? How well I treat you? If you change your mind, I can't guarantee that your beautiful face will be fine again."

She gave up the idea of ​​resisting, closed her eyes and prepared to endure it silently.

At this moment, Chai Lie suddenly stopped.

Cheng Yuan heard a voice, "Let her go."

The voice was very cold, but it did not allow anyone to hesitate for a moment. Her dagger was placed at Chai Lie's throat. He was too engrossed and too relaxed in his vigilance just now. He was always defenseless in front of her.

So Jiaoran was given a chance.

Looking at her bruises, Jiaoran pushed the knife deeper, cutting her skin. "Although the owner of Siyu Garden is a guest of the Governor's Mansion, it's not kind of you to do this. Didn't you hear her say to let her go?"

Chai Lie could no longer smile. His cold expression made him look more like his father. "You dare to kill me?"

Jiao Ran said, "You can try."

He and she were in a stalemate for a moment, then he put on his clothes, stood up, and left angrily.

Outside the door were maids who followed closely. They were all Cheng Yuan's personal maids. Seeing the scene inside, they did not dare to step forward for a moment.

Jiao Ran said, "Now that he's gone, what are you afraid of?"

Jiaoran pulled the handkerchief out of her mouth and said, "Next time, remember to call for help louder, otherwise no one can hear you."

When she slipped back into bed, Jiaoran heard his steady breathing, which meant he must be fast asleep.

After getting into bed, he suddenly asked, "What did you do?"

"When you see injustice, draw your sword and help."

He didn't look surprised. "Don't mind other people's business. In this mansion, the more deaf and blind a person is, the longer they live."

Jiao Ran was a little unhappy, "You knew it a long time ago, didn't you?"

Only then did she realize that she had just returned to Siyu Garden recently. If Cheng Yuan and Chai Lie had already been in love, then the first person to know would definitely be Mu Jin.

"You're not angry?"

Mu Jin asked back, "Why should I get angry over someone who has nothing to do with me?"

"But Cheng Yuan is very pitiful. She is covered in wounds. As for that bastard Chai Lie, I must find a chance to teach him a lesson and make him afraid."

Mu Jin rubbed her wrist. She was feeling unlucky right now. She must have used a weapon just now, which was why her wrist was so stiff. "Love and affection are their pleasure. Why are you meddling in their business to this extent?"

Jiao Ran said, "This is not a love story between a man and a woman. Cheng Yuan is too pitiful. I can't just sit back and watch."

He placed his fingertips on her eyelids, letting her experience the feeling of complete darkness with her eyes closed.

"What for?" Jiaoran was puzzled.

He said, "Cheng Yuan is not the submissive weak woman you think. She almost blinded one of Shao Feng's eyes before."

Jiao Ran then remembered Shao Feng's eyes, which had just healed. "Isn't it you?"

Mu Jin was choked and speechless. She turned over and ignored her angrily.

"Am I so cruel in your heart?"

Jiaoran said no, no, "I thought you lost your temper and beat her up like that. Oh, it's my fault. I thought too badly of you."
