Chapter 43 Watching the Fun

He Zhiran listened to Mo Jiuye's serious tone and knew that he was also helpless, so he didn't plan to continue teasing him.

"When I went to the kitchen just now, I saw Li Rouer fooling around with an official."

Mo Jiuye was not good at talking about such gossip, so he did not make any response.

Seeing that he stopped talking, He Zhiran simply closed his eyes and continued to try to fall asleep.

Perhaps because Mo Jiuye was by his side, He Zhiran's vigilance was much relaxed.

She slept exceptionally soundly that night and still got up early.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Zhao waiting there.

Zhao looked around before pulling He Zhiran to a corner.

"Aunt, what happened?" He Zhiran knew that Zhao had to say something behind others' backs, so she spoke in a very low voice.

Zhao once again cautiously checked the surroundings, and after confirming that no one was around, she whispered:

"My aunt got up last night and saw the concubine of the Li family fooling around with the official."

He Zhiran also witnessed this incident with his own eyes, but he didn't seem too surprised.

"Aunt, that's their business. We should just turn a blind eye to it."

"I wanted to turn a blind eye, but I heard what they said, and I felt it necessary to warn you."

From what Zhao said, Li Rouer must have mentioned her when they were fooling around with Li Hu, otherwise Zhao would not have come to her so early in the morning.

"Aunt, did they say anything about me?"

"I was quite far away at the time, and I vaguely heard that the officer seemed to have promised Li Rouer that he would cause trouble for you."

Hearing this, He Zhiran's face turned a little ugly.

Li Rouer is really courting death. I see her acting like a clown all day long and I don't even bother to pay attention to her, but it's still endless.

"Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I will pay attention to it."

Seeing that He Zhiran agreed lightly, Zhao couldn't help but remind him.

"The police want to cause trouble for you. This is a serious matter. You should discuss with Jiuye how to deal with it!"

"I understand, aunt. I'll discuss this with my husband in a moment."

He Zhiran agreed verbally and pretended to be chatting casually with Zhao so as not to be noticed.

After seeing Zhao off, He Zhiran came to the kitchen of the inn, intending to borrow a wooden basin to wash up.

At this time, Peng Wang and several officers also came out of their respective rooms.

The officials were busy distributing breakfast to the exiled prisoners, which was still black-faced steamed buns.

Of course, the only people they are distributing money to now are the He and Li families.

As for the Fang and Xie families, Peng Wang had noticed yesterday that Mo Jiuye intended to make friends with them. Naturally, he couldn't bear to watch them continue to eat black-faced steamed buns, so he didn't call anyone to take them away.

There is no need to mention the Mohist school. With such a capable woman around, why would they eat black-faced steamed buns?

What's more, they still have money in their hands, so buying some food at the inn is no big deal.

He Zhiran did plan to buy some more ingredients from the innkeeper.

However, this time she only gave the boss one or two taels of silver.

There is no need to be so extravagant for breakfast, just some rice porridge and side dishes will be enough.

When they saw He Zhiran enter the kitchen, the eldest sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law knew that she was going to prepare breakfast, so they hurriedly followed her.

Breakfast was simple, and He Zhiran didn’t have to prepare anything for the eldest and fifth sisters-in-law.

Seeing this, He Zhiran was also happy to have some free time.

As soon as she came out of the kitchen, Peng Wang called her over.

"Today I will send two officials to the city to purchase supplies for the journey. You can go with them."

Being able to go out purchasing, He Zhiran couldn't hide the smile on his face.

She has been here for several days and has not been to the market yet!

Now she finally has the chance. Not only does she need to find out the market conditions here, but she also needs to stock up on supplies she will need in the future.

"Thank you, Mr. Peng." He Zhiran thanked him sincerely.

"We still have to continue our journey in the afternoon, so you should make good use of the morning time." Peng Wang kindly reminded.

"One morning is enough." He Zhiran said, and planned to go back to prepare.

She had just taken a few steps when she heard a shrill scream coming from the hut.

"Ah...what happened to my son..."

When the officials were distributing the black-faced steamed buns, they disliked the strong smell and just threw a package of black-faced steamed buns over from a distance without even checking them.

Hearing the sound, the officers all ran towards the straw hut.

He Zhiran thought that this must be Mo Jiuye's work, but he didn't know how badly he had tortured the two brothers to make their family scream so miserably.

With a curious heart, He Zhiran followed the officials to the straw hut.

Through the gaps in the crowd, one could see two bloody figures lying in an inconspicuous place in the straw hut.

To be precise, they are the brothers He Ming and He Liang.

The two men's faces could not be seen at all at this moment. Their faces were covered with blood and their long hair was messy and stuck to their faces.

There were no wounds on their bodies, but upon closer inspection, I found that their injuries were only on their wrists and ankles.

The scene frightened the women and children so much that they hid far away. Some people even huddled in the corner, sobbing quietly but not daring to come forward.

A woman who looked to be around fifty years old knelt beside the two men and cried heartbreakingly.

"Who is this black-hearted person... wuwuwu... to be so cruel to my son... wuwuwu...

Our He family is already unlucky enough. We suffered this unexpected disaster, had our property confiscated and were exiled, and our son was injured like this... wuwuwu..."

He Zhiyuan did not cry when he saw the miserable state of his two sons. Instead, he walked around in circles with his hands behind his back, looking extremely worried.

When He Zhiyuan saw the police coming, it was like he saw a savior.

He grabbed Peng Wang's sleeve.

"Sir, please help my son. They were pushing your cart with vigor and energy yesterday, but this morning they became like this."

Peng Wang was also overwhelmed when he saw this scene.

He had been an escort officer for so long, but this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

Who do the He brothers have a grudge against?

Then it can only be the Mo family.

But except for Mo Jiuye, who was seriously injured and unable to get out of bed, the rest of the Mo family are women.

Even if He Zhiran has some skills, she is a weak woman and can only use some fancy moves to bully others.

If someone said that He Zhiran had made people like this, Peng Wang would not believe it from the bottom of his heart.

Just as he was frowning in thought, He Zhiyuan caught sight of He Zhiran standing behind the crowd watching the fun.

He pointed at He Zhiran and said, "Sir, it must be her. It was this vicious woman who hurt my son like this.

We haven't offended anyone except the Mo family. This vicious woman beat my son last night. Sir, it must be her. Please help my son..."

Peng Wang pushed He Zhiyuan away impatiently.

"How could you imagine that a weak woman like her could hurt someone like this?"
