The county magistrate was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stood up, pointed his finger at Zhang Yi, and said with gritted teeth: "You are still stubborn! Now everyone suspects you, do you think you can get away with it? You'd better tell me the truth. If you are found to be related to this case, I can't save you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi anxiously defended himself, "Uncle, I really didn't do it! I don't feel guilty. I just believe that they can find evidence to prove my innocence. Those people must have made a mistake. Maybe the murderer is someone else."
Although his tone was urgent, his eyes were firm because he firmly believed in his innocence.
The county magistrate felt angry and helpless when he saw Zhang Yi like this.
He glared at Zhang Yi fiercely and said, "Go back here and stay at home for the next two days. Don't cause any more trouble for me! If anything goes wrong again, I can't protect you! When the time comes, you can just wait to be beheaded!"
The county magistrate's voice was a little distorted. He had been so angry at Zhang Yi that he had lost his mind.
Zhang Yi was panicked when he heard this, but he still said, "Uncle, I understand. I will stay at home. Please help me. I really have been wronged."
After saying this, he lowered his head, turned carefully, and left the back hall in small steps, fearing that he would anger the county magistrate again.
Su Huaiyue was busy in the Beauty Pavilion, concentrating on checking the new batch of rouge.
I saw her gently pick up a box of rouge, open the lid, carefully observe the color of the rouge, dip a little with her finger, and gently apply it on the back of her hand, feeling its texture and fineness.
As she inspected the product, she said to the female worker beside her, "The color of this batch of rouge can be slightly adjusted. A lighter color will make it look more natural. Please take the trouble to adjust it."
Just then, Wei Yunrou hurried into the Beauty Pavilion.
She looked around, and when she saw Su Huaiyue, she quickly walked over. "Sister-in-law!"
Wei Yunrou's voice, with a hint of urgency, interrupted the conversation between Su Huaiyue and the female worker.
Su Huaiyue raised her head and saw that it was Wei Yunrou. She was slightly startled and asked, "Yunrou, why are you here?"
Wei Yunrou walked over to Su Huaiyue, took her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother is feeling better now, but he's still a little weak. I want you to go see how he's doing. I thought you were busy, so I came here to tell you that I'll take over your duties at Meiyan Pavilion. You can go see my brother."
When Su Huaiyue heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and the ambiguous and awkward scene between her and Wei Che last night instantly came to her mind.
Her face flushed slightly, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse: "Yun Rou, since your brother is feeling better now, he should be fine. There's nothing to see. I still have a lot of things to do here."
As she spoke, she pointed to the rouge on the table.
Wei Yunrou, however, refused to give in. She pulled Su Huaiyue's arm, gently shaking it, and said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law, just go and take a look. My brother must be really eager to see you right now. If you don't go, he will be so disappointed. Don't worry about the Meiyan Pavilion and leave it to me. I promise I can handle it."
As Wei Yunrou spoke, she looked at Su Huaiyue expectantly with her big watery eyes, her eyes full of earnestness.
Su Huaiyue was a little embarrassed. She bit her lip and said, "But..."
Before she could finish her words, Wei Yunrou hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, just think of it as doing this for me. My brother is always so nice to me, and I want him to be happier. Go see him, and if he's in a better mood, maybe he'll recover faster."
Su Huaiyue looked at Wei Yunrou's eager eyes and couldn't bear to refuse.
She sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, there's really nothing I can do about you. I'll go see your brother right away. But you have to be more careful in the Beauty Pavilion. If you have any problems, come to me in time."
Seeing that Su Huaiyue agreed, Wei Yunrou immediately smiled and nodded quickly, saying, "Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry! I will definitely take good care of this place. You can go quickly and come back soon!"
Su Huaiyue came to Wei Che's house alone. As soon as she walked into the yard, she saw Wei Che walking into the yard by himself, holding on to the wall.
After he was drugged, his body felt a little weak and powerless, and his hand was injured, so he could only use his arm to hold on to the wall with difficulty. Every step he took seemed very strenuous, and he looked very pitiful.
Su Huaiyue saw Wei Che holding on to the wall and moving towards the yard with difficulty. His weak appearance made her feel a trace of pity in her heart.
She couldn't help but sigh, a complex emotion spreading in her heart.
On the one hand, she was still frightened by the ambiguous and thrilling scene last night, and she didn't know how to face Wei Che; on the other hand, seeing Wei Che in such a mess, she really couldn't turn a blind eye.
After a brief hesitation, she walked forward quickly.
The moment she stretched out her hand, her fingertips trembled slightly, as if what she touched was not Wei Che's arm, but a ball of burning flame.
When her hand really grabbed Wei Che's arm, the familiar touch made her freeze instantly. She seemed to be back to last night. Wei Che's arm seemed to be still so hot, and the heat passed through his clothes to her palm, making her heart feel a little flustered.
At the same time, Wei Che's lustful eyes from last night kept replaying in her mind uncontrollably. Those blurred eyes, with a passion she had never seen before, seemed to set her whole body on fire.
Her breathing became rapid, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart was pounding in her chest, as if it was about to burst through her chest.
Wei Che noticed something strange about Su Huaiyue and turned his head slightly to look at her.
This glance made Su Huaiyue lower her head in panic, not daring to look him in the eye.
She tried to calm herself down, and kept telling herself that now was not the time to think about these things, Wei Che needed her help.
The two of them walked towards the stone table in the yard in silence, and no one spoke along the way.
What happened last night was like an invisible membrane, lying between them, making the air a little heavy.
With every step they took, the scenes of last night kept replaying in their minds.
Wei Che was also troubled by the memories of last night. He felt guilty about his behavior under the influence of drugs and didn't know how to face Su Huaiyue. He could only lower his head slightly and try to avoid meeting her eyes.
The cobblestone road under their feet seemed to become particularly long, and the footsteps of the two people were particularly clear in the silent courtyard.
Occasionally a breeze blew, blowing Su Huaiyue's hair, but she was completely unaware, her mind full of what happened last night.
Every breath Wei Che took seemed to echo in her ears, making her more nervous.
After a lot of effort, they finally reached the stone table. The silence along the way made both of them feel an invisible pressure, as if they had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.
