Zheng Yunwan's tears fell like beads from a broken string: "But the officials said this crime isn't serious. That Liu Xiucai still has a degree. Will they be released soon? If I die, will they be sentenced more severely?"
She seemed to be caught up in a terrible memory: "I knew what they wanted to do. I wanted to die, but I didn't have time. That person was so strong. He grabbed my hair and dragged me back. I couldn't resist. For a moment, I really wanted to say that I wasn't Xiao Yunying..."
Xiao Yunying was taken aback: "Then why didn't you say so? Why did you assume that you were me?"
Zheng Yunwan shook her head: "I can't say that they are all bad people. Sister Yunying didn't look down on my background and treated me so well. She is my benefactor who saved my life."
They only asked me to stay and look after Luo Xin. That was my only request. I don't know if they've caught Xin'er or if she's safely returned to the restaurant. I'm afraid if I tell them, they'll hurt her.
Xiao Yunying's eyes stung with tears, and she hugged Zheng Yunwan.
"Don't worry, those people have all been arrested. I won't let them out easily. Leave everything to me. No one else will know about this. You can live a good life as before."
Xiao Yunying let her cry for a while, venting her emotions.
Xiao Yunying only let go of Zheng Yunwan after she gradually stopped crying.
"Sister Yunying, I'm alright now."
Xiao Yunying wiped away her tears: "Then I'll go heat up your food and you can eat some more, or I'll make you whatever you want to eat."
"No need, this is fine with me, it's still warm."
Zheng Yunwan sniffed and ate her food in small bites.
After she finished eating, Xiao Yunying went to the kitchen and brought out some warm calming medicine.
She thought for a moment, took a pill from the pharmacy, went back to her room to get some ointment for external injuries, and delivered them together.
"Yunwan, this is a calming medicine. Drink it and go to bed early tonight."
Zheng Yunwan obediently picked up the bowl and drank the medicine. Xiao Yunying poured her a glass of water and gave her the pills.
"And this medicine."
"What kind of medicine is this?"
Zheng Yunwan didn't suspect Xiao Yunying of wanting to harm her; she was just curious because she had never seen medicine like this before.
Xiao Yunying didn't want to hide this from her, as telling her might bring back bad memories, but it was also to ensure she wouldn't have any other worries.
"This is... an emergency contraceptive pill, which is a pill that will temporarily prevent you from getting pregnant."
Zheng Yunwan was slightly taken aback; she hadn't thought of that yet.
She calmly picked up the pill and swallowed it with water.
Xiao Yunying habitually popped a pine nut candy into her mouth to remove the bitterness.
"Yunwan...would you like to take off your clothes so I can see if there's anything that needs medicine?"
Zheng Yunwan immediately shrank back nervously: "No need, I'm fine."
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I don't necessarily have to see it."
Xiao Yunying placed the medicine bottle on the table: "Then I'll put the medicine here. If you're badly injured anywhere, you can apply it yourself. If you can't reach any of the wounds, Xin'er can apply it for you."
"I can do it myself."
"Then you should go to sleep early. I'm going out now."
After Xiao Yunying packed her things, closed the door, and left, Zheng Yunwan went to bed by herself.
She lay on her side facing the wall, silently shedding tears.
She still remembered that on her first day here, it was Sister Yunying who applied medicine to the whip marks on her body that had not yet healed.
I blushed with embarrassment when I found out.
But now... I'm truly filthy...
Fortunately... Sister Yunying still didn't dislike her.
But she really didn't want Sister Yunying to see these dirty marks on her body.
Zheng Yunwan closed her eyes tightly and buried her face in the pillow.
On the other side, Xiao Yunying came out and estimated that it was about time, so she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
The two dogs came back first, rushed into the kitchen, and kept circling around Xiao Yunying, wagging their tails.
Xiao Yunying was forced to stop what she was doing because of the commotion: "What are you all doing? Why are you making such a racket today?"
Only then did they realize that Songzi had a rabbit in her mouth.
"You arrested him?"
Xiao Yunying squatted down in surprise to take a look. The rabbit wasn't very big, its fur was stained with blood, and its neck hung limply to one side.
"So you guys were just trying to take credit, no wonder you were so excited."
Songzi put the rabbit on the ground and nudged it forward with its nose.
Xiao Yunying saw that the rabbit's belly was still rising and falling slightly, indicating that it had not completely died.
But given its current state, it probably won't survive.
She pointed at the rabbit and said, "This rabbit isn't big enough. Next time, remember to catch a bigger one. Don't catch this kind that's neither big nor small; there's too little meat on it."
The two dogs couldn't understand what she was saying, so they squatted down on the ground and looked at her, like children waiting for praise.
Xiao Yunying gently patted each of their heads: "You're only a few months old, but you're already very capable. You'll be even more amazing when you grow up."
The two dogs were wagging their tails happily when they suddenly stopped, perked up their ears, and then rushed out of the kitchen.
I guess the children have returned.
Xiao Yunying looked at the rabbit on the ground: "What should I do? I don't know how to kill it."
Or should I take it back to my parents' home and let my older brother handle it?
"I'll do it."
Xiao Yunying looked towards the doorway leading to the reception room. Luo Sheng was standing by the door, having arrived at some unknown time.
Xiao Yunying stood up, and suddenly everything went black before her eyes, and she swayed.
Luo Sheng instinctively came over and helped her up.
Xiao Yunying braced herself against the stove with her other hand, and after a while, she felt much better, only to find that Luo Sheng was supporting her.
