The second sister-in-law reacted immediately. She burst into tears and ran to Madam Wei to complain, "Grandma, you have to do something for Nifeng! Su Huaiyue teased me. The snake meat was so sour that it made my teeth drop!"
Mrs. Wei's sharp voice gave Old Madam Wei a headache.
She closed her eyes in annoyance and said slowly: "Huaiyue is not that kind of person. Just be calm and stop making trouble."
As the night deepened, the campfire had long since gone out, and everything in the camp was shrouded in dim starlight.
Wei Ersao lay in the tent, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, still worried about what happened that night.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she could think of Su Huaiyue's sarcastic smile.
Although he was angry, the hunger in his stomach could not be ignored.
She lay down on her back and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and quietly got up and walked out of the tent.
She wandered around the camp, hoping to find something to eat.
The night in the desert was extremely quiet. Due to the lack of light, Wei Ersao could only crawl along cautiously.
"Ah-ah!"
The cries of several black crows were heard not far away, which scared Wei Ersao so much that she almost collapsed to the ground.
Just then, she saw a fat figure - Wang Laosan.
He was sitting on a rock stealthily, seemingly thinking about something.
"Wang Laosan?"
Wei Ersao called out softly, then leaned over to look and confirm that he was Wang Laosan.
Wang Laosan raised his head and smiled mysteriously, "It's you, Mrs. Wei, why can't you sleep either?"
"Oh, don't mention it!"
Mrs. Wei Er complained, "Su Huaiyue made it so hard today that I couldn't even eat a single bite of snake meat. Now I'm hungry and angry!"
Wang Laosan rolled his eyes and moved closer, "I have a way to let you vent your anger."
Mrs. Wei looked at him doubtfully, "What's your idea?"
"Do you still remember Xiao Li who was saved from the snake's mouth by Su Huaiyue?"
Wang Laosan lowered his voice, "How about we knock him out and stuff him into Su Huaiyue's tent? Let her take the blame."
Wei Ersao hesitated for a moment, but she knew this official.
But a woman's reputation is more precious than her life.
Under Wang Laosan's instigation, Wei Ersao thought of the situation when Su Huaiyue teased her at night, and the anger in her heart burned again.
With the attitude of going all out, she clapped her hands and decided to do it together with Wang Laosan.
"That sounds good, but can you guarantee that you can take down Su Huaiyue in one go?"
Wang Laosan smiled sideways and slapped his thigh: "Don't worry, when have I, Wang Laosan, ever made a mistake in my work?"
She nodded, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Then let's do this!"
So, the two of them quietly ran to Xiao Li's tent. Wang Laosan skillfully covered Xiao Li's mouth, and Wei Ersao took out the thick hemp rope she had prepared.
After a while, Xiao Li was knocked unconscious by the two of them.
As Wei Ersao tied the man up, her voice trembling as she said, "Xiao Li, please don't blame me. I had no choice but to do this. It was Su Huaiyue who teased me, and I will make sure she doesn't suffer any consequences."
Wang Laosan, who was a little annoyed by what he heard, frowned and said, "Just do it, what are you talking about? Stop dithering."
Mrs. Wei's face suddenly turned ugly, and she secretly complained in her heart, if they were not dissatisfied with Su Huaiyue, she would not cooperate with this short man!
Bah! What the hell!
While cursing in his heart, his hand movements were indeed in perfect sync with Wang Laosan's.
Taking advantage of the night, they quickly dragged the man to Su Huaiyue's tent.
After making sure that no one was paying attention, Wei Ersao hurriedly pulled open Su Huaiyue's curtain and pushed Xiao Li in. Then, Wang Laosan raised the branch in his hand and swept it across the ground vigorously, trying to erase any traces of their presence.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing when they saw that the other was sweating profusely from exhaustion.
After confirming that everything was in order, the two of them hurried away with small steps and hunched over.
As he left, Wang Laosan whispered proudly, "Look, tomorrow morning, Su Huaiyue will have a good show to watch."
Mrs. Wei Er seemed to feel a little relieved. It was her first time doing this, and she was so nervous that she was sweating profusely.
However, the night had already known their whereabouts, and the breeze blowing through the camp brought a hint of unease.
The early morning sun broke through the darkness, and a faint light shone through a corner of the curtain, waking Su Huaiyue from her dream.
A faint noise from outside came to her ears. She sighed slightly, reached out to pull up the quilt, but felt as if there was something extra beside her.
She frowned, turned her head, and caught a glimpse of the familiar figure.
"Xiao Li?"
Su Huaiyue muttered to himself, his heart sinking.
Xiao Li was only wearing his underwear, his hair was a little messy, covering his forehead, and his cheeks were slightly flushed because of the discomfort.
He just lay there on the side of the tent with his body wide open, looking unconscious.
Su Huaiyue's half-open eyes suddenly widened.
This scene seemed to be extremely obvious, and Su Huaiyue understood that this was clearly done intentionally.
Su Huaiyue closed her eyes in annoyance. It was because she was injured again in the battle with the python yesterday. She slept too soundly and didn't notice someone coming in to help her.
She slowly calmed down with each breath and began to seriously think about countermeasures.
Going out like this will definitely arouse everyone's suspicion.
She also understood how important a woman's reputation was in ancient times.
Once you lose your virginity, you will have no choice but to commit suicide and bring shame to your family.
Just like the last time he framed her and Adjutant Cheng, when it failed last time, he continued to use such despicable means.
Thinking of the biting coldness on Su Huaiyue's face becoming more and more acute, it was easy to imagine who wanted to frame her like this.
At this moment, a sudden sound outside the tent interrupted her thoughts. The footsteps outside were gradually approaching, and it sounded as if they were deliberately trying to attract everyone.
Su Huaiyue exhaled slightly and slowly sat up.
While quickly putting on her coat, she gently kicked Xiao Li's leg with her foot.
Xiao Li opened his eyes drowsily, still a little drunk from last night. He raised his hand and touched the back of his head, his brows furrowed.
"Ouch...it hurts."
Xiao Li muttered to himself, slowly sat up, looked around, and when he saw Su Huaiyue, he instantly became more awake.
He stood up suddenly and began to explain incoherently: "Wei, Madam Wei, this is not what I thought. I didn't do anything last night. I just remember someone knocked me unconscious from behind.
And then... then I don’t know anything.”
Su Huaiyue looked at Xiao Li's panic and innocence at the moment and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I know."
She spoke softly, then walked towards the curtain and opened it a crack, allowing the noise outside to become clearer. "Don't make a sound. I'll run out later and attract the attention of whoever's outside. You can take the opportunity to slip away."
Xiao Li felt relieved, but the sweat on his forehead revealed his nervousness.
Su Huaiyue took a deep breath and recalled everything that happened last night. She guessed that all this must be related to Wei Ersao.
