Chapter 33 I’ll beat you up if you’re blind
In the pale moonlight, Zhao was seen sitting under a haystack in disheveled clothes, with Scarface sitting next to her on one side.
He didn't say anything, but just handed over a blue bundle, and no one knew what was inside.
Zhao's eyes were red, as if she had just cried.
Seeing the bundle handed to her, she bit her lip, snatched it away, and stood up to leave.
Seeing her coming towards her, Shen Wan was so scared that she quickly hid in the corner, but fortunately she was not discovered!
After Scarface left, Shen Wan poured out the remaining water and hurried back to the room.
"Why is your face so red?" Xie Mubai looked at him and asked.
Shen Wan touched her face and smiled awkwardly: “Maybe it’s hot.”
She didn't want to spread the story of Zhao and Scarface's affair, after all, Scarface was nice to her.
Although Xie Mubai knew the ugly woman was lying, he did not expose her: "I heard from Hu Dahai that we might have to stay here for a few days and wait until everyone feels better before leaving."
"That's fine." Shen Wan nodded, "But we've wasted too much time on the road, and I don't know if we can reach the Northwest on time."
"Do you really want to go there?" Xie Mubai's eyes moved slightly.
What’s good about the Northwest?
There were only bare hillsides, cracked soil, and yellow sand all over the sky.
Shen Wan nodded and said truthfully: “Compared to rushing on the road every day, I prefer a stable life.”
Who would be willing to run around!
Xie Mubai has been weak since childhood and is not suitable for long-distance travel.
If the incident at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had not happened, he might not have set foot out of the capital until now.
"Do you regret it?" He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his smooth face. "If I hadn't entered the Duke's Mansion, you would still be the second daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang's Mansion."
"Why should I regret it?" Shen Wan smiled. "Just put your mind at ease. I will never leave until I send you safely to the Northwest."
After hearing this, Xie Mubai's beautiful brows frowned slightly.
What does this ugly woman mean? Is she going to leave after arriving in the Northwest?
No, it won’t!
This must be another angry remark she made!
She had finally married him, so how could she bear to leave him?
It was already late, and the night watchman's call could be heard outside.
Like other inns, there was only one bed in the room, so Shen Wan and Xie Mubai had to squeeze together.
Although they were sleeping in the same bed, Shen Wan stayed close to the bed, trying to keep a safe distance from someone.
Fortunately, Xie Mubai slept soundly and didn't kick her away.
Early the next morning, Shen Wan greeted Hu Dahai and wanted to use the kitchen.
Since the convicts were all poisoned, the cook had a hard time just boiling the medicine and didn't pay much attention to their meals.
Shen Wan was fine, but the sickly pretty boy needed nutrition.
If his legs could recover sooner, she would be much more relaxed.
Hu Dahai naturally would not refuse this request.
The cook had gone to deliver the medicine, and the kitchen was empty, without a single person in sight.
So Shen Wan took out the beef she had collected from the Duke's Mansion kitchen from the space, made two bowls of fragrant beef noodles, and served them with a plate of vegetables.
Just as he was about to take it to Xie Mubai to eat together, a young prisoner walked in.
He looked to be in his twenties, with a pair of peach blossom eyes. Although not as handsome as Xie Mubai, he was definitely handsome and suave.
"It smells so good!" He smiled frivolously, his eyes glued to the beef noodles. "By the way, Miss Shen, I heard that Xie Mubai is completely useless and can't be human. I wonder if you have thought about the future?"
"What are you considering?" Shen Wan pretended to be confused.
She remembered this scoundrel.
This lecher was a well-known playboy in the capital. He relied on his handsome face to do bad things to molest decent women.
Of course, the original owner's shocking face still did not catch his eye.
"Consider remarrying!" The prisoner laughed lustfully upon hearing this. "To be honest, I've long admired Second Miss Shen, but it's a pity that that sickly fellow got there first."
"Although I'm not as prominent as Xie Mubai, I'm from an official family after all."
"The most important thing is that I'm in good health. It's better than you being a widow with that sickly guy!"
Chen Wan was not at all happy about this sudden bad peach blossom, but rather felt very disgusted.
Among the fugitives, there were many young and beautiful women.
The reason why this guy came to bother her was simply because he was interested in her relationship with the officials and the food in her hand.
"Get out of here!" Shen Wan said coldly with a sullen face.
The prisoner was greatly surprised to see that the ugly woman dared to refuse.
The Marquis of Xiangyang's Mansion must be so poor that they don't even have a mirror. This ugly woman doesn't even have any self-awareness. No wonder she dared to covet Xie Mubai.
"My dear sister, are you really so cruel?" His eyes rolled and he reached out to pull her arm. "Do you know how much I miss you?"
"Come, let your brother hug you!"
He just couldn't believe it. This ugly girl was in her prime, how could she bear the loneliness?
Shen Wan was not a good-tempered person to begin with, and this action completely stimulated the long-suppressed toxins in her body.
She kicked him viciously in the abdomen.
The prisoner was caught off guard, and his tall body flew out like a broken rag doll and fell heavily on the cold ground.
Shen Wan rushed forward and kicked him hard in the face.
"Listen to me!" She gritted her teeth and threatened viciously, "If you dare to have any improper thoughts about me again, I will kill you!"
Before she finished speaking, she left proudly.
Back in the house, Shen Wan served the noodles to Xie Mubai.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Xie Mubai asked calmly, "What happened?"
"If I tell you, will you stand up for me?" Shen Wan transferred all her anger to him and said angrily.
Seeing that she was so angry, Xie Mubai stopped talking.
He wanted to protect her for the rest of her life, but not now.
“Forget it, let’s eat quickly.” Seeing that the villain remained silent, Shen Wan said impatiently.
She was in a bad mood and Xie Mubai had no appetite.
Looking at the two bowls of fragrant beef noodles in front of them, no one picked up their chopsticks.
Suddenly, there was a sound of messy footsteps outside.
When Shen Wan looked up, she saw Scarface walking in with a bruised prisoner.
The criminal was none other than the lecher who had just molested Shen Wan.
"Sir, she beat me up!" The prisoner pointed at her nose and immediately started complaining. "I saw this ugly woman stealing something in the kitchen just now, so I went up to her and asked her about it. She beat me up!"
"If you don't believe me, just look at my face and my arms. She hit me there!"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves.
Sure enough, the fair skin was covered with blue and purple patches, looking extremely scary.
Xie Mubai's eyes moved slightly.
It turned out that it was this bastard in front of him who provoked the ugly woman.
"Is what he said true?" Scarface asked coldly with a gloomy face.
Shen Wan disagreed and smiled coldly: “I want to know, what is he doing in the kitchen?”
The prisoner looked a little flustered and uneasy, he stammered, "I... I was just passing by..."
"Passing by?" Shen Wan said with disdain, "The male prisoners all live in the front yard, and the kitchen is in the backyard. It's really a coincidence that you passed by."
Scarface's eyes turned cold.
Although he guessed that the criminal might have instigated the incident, he didn't want to delve too deeply into it.
Hu Dahai is now in poor health, and the detoxification work is not going smoothly. He is solely responsible for the affairs of all the fugitives.
At the end of the day, he was already exhausted and had no energy to care about these trivial matters.
"You are not allowed to go to the kitchen from now on!" He thought for a moment and said with some displeasure.
Seeing Scarface being given fifty lashes, Shen Wan was a little unhappy.
Xie Mubai smiled slightly, reached out and patted her shoulder: "I told you not to worry about it, the medical staff will definitely be able to do it."
"You are not the only one in this world who knows medicine, and you are not the only one who can remove the residual toxins in everyone's body."
"Listen to me, don't go to the kitchen anymore, and don't worry about the antidote."
Upon hearing this, Scarface's eyes suddenly lit up.
