Chapter 15 Is she a monster?
The sky gradually darkened, and a waning moon hung alone on the treetops.
Due to the small space in the temple and the large number of prisoners, it is impossible for them all to stay here overnight.
So the officials drove some people out to sleep outdoors, including the Xie family.
"You don't have to move." Seeing Shen Wan was about to get up, Hu Dahai hurriedly smiled and said, "The ventilation is good over here, you two can just sleep here."
When Sun saw this, her face turned pale with anger.
Damn ugly girl, it was just a blind cat that caught a dead mouse, and she happened to cure the official's illness. Now she can surpass me in everything!
In anger, Sun paid some money and the officer agreed to let them in.
Shen Wan was quite curious, how much could such a pearl be sold for?
No matter how valuable it is, these fellow prisoners would not be able to offer a high price, after all, they themselves don't have much.
At the rate Sun is spending money, it's likely that the funds will run out soon.
Xie Murong also wanted to go in, but was stopped outside by the officials.
"Third sister-in-law!" She tugged at Sun's sleeve and begged bitterly, "I really don't want to sleep outside."
It was indeed a bit difficult for her, the daughter of a noble family, to sleep on the floor.
Sun was about to speak when she saw Aunt Zhou's face darken: "If you want to go in, you can, but you have to pay for it yourself!"
Where does Xie Murong get the money?
If so, why would she have to gnaw on those hard-to-swallow steamed buns all day long?
Aunt Zhou ignored her and walked straight into the temple.
Sun's eyes turned, and she quickly leaned over to Xie Murong's ear and whispered in a low voice, "My dear sister, it's not that I don't want to help you. But you also know that Concubine Zhou has a bad temper."
"However, you can go and ask that ugly girl for help."
"That ugly woman is now a big hit in the eyes of the officials. If she says a word, it will definitely work!"
"If all else fails, you can always ask your fifth brother. That woman likes your fifth brother the most!"
After hearing this, Xie Murong couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
Now that she and Xie Mubai have become estranged, she doesn't have the face to ask him for help again.
But looking at the hard ground and the red blisters on her body from mosquito bites, she still shamelessly looked at Xie Mubai: "Fifth brother, I'm scared to be out here alone in the middle of the night!"
Xie Mubai seemed not to hear, turned his head and closed his eyes.
"Are you really comfortable letting her sleep outside?" Shen Wan looked at her and asked curiously.
It is written in the book that the villain loves this concubine sister the most.
As long as she opens her mouth, she can even pick the moon from the sky.
Thinking back to the time when the original owner had quarreled with him many times because of this concubine sister.
Xie Mubai didn't open his eyes, his clear voice filled with chilling emotion: "If she can't even endure this little bit of hardship, she doesn't deserve to be the daughter of the Xie family!"
He still cared about his cold-blooded and heartless half-sister in his heart. After all, the blood relationship could never be severed.
But these few short days made him realize a reality.
The Xie family has been defeated, so Xie Murong has to bow to reality and can no longer be a pampered young lady.
The road to the Northwest is still long. If she continues like this, it is unknown whether she can reach the exile place alive.
"It must be that ugly woman who disagrees!" Sun Shi didn't hear clearly what Shen Wan said, but she still didn't forget to sow discord. "Your fifth brother has difficulty walking now, so he has to depend on that ugly woman's mood."
"Murong, be careful. I'll go in first, otherwise Aunt Zhou will scold me again."
Before she finished speaking, she twisted her plump waist and walked into the dilapidated temple.
After hearing this, Xie Murong looked at Shen Wan with a vicious look.
Yes, it’s her!
In the past, the fifth brother loved her the most, but since this ugly girl came, he didn't even let her eat chicken legs, and he never even gave her a good look!
"What are you still standing here for? Go away!" Seeing that she was still standing at the door, an officer shouted impatiently.
Xie Murong had been raised in the palm of her hand since she was young, and had never suffered such grievances.
She turned around helplessly with tears in her eyes.
Although this temple is a bit dilapidated, at least there are tiles to shelter us from wind and rain.
But Xie Murong was different. At this moment, she could only leave it to fate.
There are so many mosquitoes on a midsummer night.
It was inconvenient for Shen Wan to take out the floral water, so she quietly took a handful of herbs from the space and placed them between the two of them.
Smelling the scent of herbs, Xie Mubai couldn't help but open his eyes.
"What is this?" He asked in surprise, looking at the small handful of green grass beside him.
Shen Wan explained: “This is the mosquito repellent grass I picked on the roadside. With it, mosquitoes won’t bite us.”
"Then why didn't the mosquito bite me last night?" A hint of doubt flashed across Xie Mubai's eyes.
He remembered clearly that the woman was picking herbs today.
"That's because I chased away mosquitoes for you all night, okay?" Shen Wan lied without changing her expression or heartbeat, and her crisp voice was filled with a bit of grievance. "Otherwise, with only the two of us in such a big house, wouldn't you have been carried away by mosquitoes?"
Xie Mubai believed it.
He only felt his heart warm slightly, and Hu Dahai's words lingered in his ears again.
"You don't have to be so nice to me." He thought for a moment and said uncomfortably, "I don't deserve you to be like this."
He couldn't give her the love she wanted, and he didn't want to owe her too much.
His voice was so low that Shen Wan didn't hear it at all. She was only busy arranging the straw on the ground.
"Go to sleep." After tidying up, she helped Xie Mubai lie down.
The temple was small to begin with, and there wasn't much straw, so Shen Wan could only lie down next to him.
After everyone fell asleep, she moved closer to Xie Mubai and quietly handed a small pill to his lips.
Xie Mubai swallowed it without even looking at it.
"Why don't you even take a look?" Shen Wan rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously, "Aren't you afraid it's poison?"
The hot air from her mouth sprayed all over his face, making him feel a little itchy.
Xie Mubai turned his head away and ignored her.
Shen Wan was not amused and rolled her eyes in displeasure.
Hearing the sound of snoring in her ear, she quietly moved forward again.
After confirming that the villain was already asleep, Shen Wan quietly slipped into the space.
She took a shower and went straight to the lab.
The poison had been in the original owner's body for too long. If it went on any longer, she seriously suspected that she would become a complete lunatic.
However, this poison is extremely rare, and even she, a professional military doctor, is somewhat helpless.
Shen Wan was busy for a while, but when she saw that it took too long, she had to leave.
As soon as she came out, she saw Xie Mubai with his eyes open, his inky eyes emitting a cold light in the darkness.
Oh no, will this villain find out what just happened?
If he were to be discovered, it would be strange if he didn't suspect that she was a monster!
"Why don't you sleep?" Shen Wan's heart tightened and she asked guiltily.
In the darkness, Xie Mubai's low voice sounded particularly cold: "I just woke up, why haven't you slept yet?"
After hearing this, Shen Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
She patted her chest and pretended to be frightened: "I just had a nightmare and woke up from it."
In the pale moonlight, Xie Mubai clearly saw the little black face with baby fat.
Coupled with her big eyes that were slightly frightened, she looked more and more like a little girl who had not grown up.
He stretched out his long arm and patted her arm gently: "Go to sleep."
Xie Mubai's voice was not loud, but it gave people an inexplicable sense of security.
After running around for so long, Shen Wan was indeed tired.
Smelling the pleasant scent on his body, she quickly fell asleep.
Xie Mubai didn't sleep, but just stared at the little woman in front of him.
In fact, he had not slept at all, he was just lying there dozing off.
When he realized that her breathing had disappeared from his ears, he opened his eyes.
There was nothing around me except for a thin layer of straw with body temperature.
She went out?
impossible!
With his hearing ability, it was impossible for him not to hear someone moving around.
Just when he hadn't figured out all this weirdness, her breathing sounded again, and the whole person appeared in front of him out of thin air!
Could it be that she is a monster?
Thinking of this, Xie Mubai's eyes became more complicated.
