Attacked
"Are you going to report this to the authorities?" Qin Yurong was stunned.
Immediately, she sternly reminded him, "If your parents were murdered by someone else, it would be reasonable for you to go to the government to seek justice for them, but..."
She picked up the teacup in front of her and drank the remaining tea in one gulp. After putting the empty teacup down, she became even more solemn. "If this matter were to become public, your parents' revenge would be avenged, but your Tan family's reputation would also be ruined."
"To me, my parents' blood feud is greater than heaven. I would rather destroy my own family than not avenge them!" Tan Linshuang was determined.
Qin Yurong understood, picked up the teapot, and filled it for the two of them. "You are a good child."
"The spirits of your parents in heaven will surely be pleased."
She suddenly thought, if she had had a child with Tan Mozhu, she wondered what would have happened later...
Tan Linshuang took a sip of tea and continued, "If my parents are still alive, they would also hope that I would use the law to avenge them and the other women who were victimized."
"Other victims?" Qin Yurong paused while sipping her tea. "Has he harmed anyone else?"
Tan Linshuang frowned and nodded, "According to what I've learned, four women were persecuted by him. One of them suffered a miscarriage and, in despair, nearly drowned herself."
Qin Yurong's hand holding the teacup trembled, and the terrible memory of being strangled by Tan Mozhu that night came to her mind again, making her back cold, and she inadvertently touched her neck.
"He is simply... worse than a beast!"
After trembling for a long time, she finally squeezed out these words from between her teeth, already out of anger.
Tan Linshuang took another sip of tea and looked at her meaningfully. "If you hadn't divorced back then, perhaps he would have suppressed his evil thoughts. After all, he's still quite wary of your identity and family background, Aunt Qin."
"Ha!" Qin Yurong laughed when she heard it.
"Are you blaming me?" Her hands stopped shaking and she continued to sip her tea.
Tan Linshuang smiled without saying anything. He raised his teacup and gestured to her, then said, "Although your father has retired, he still has a heart for justice. I'm sure he would agree with my approach."
Qin Yurong lowered her head and smiled.
When she raised her head, her smile was gone, and her expression returned to seriousness. "You've endured humiliation and hardship over the years. It must have been difficult, right?"
"But I'm still alive." Tan Linshuang also put on a serious expression.
…
"Master, did Miss Qin agree or decline?"
After leaving Qin's house, Ayun looked at Tan Linshuang hesitantly, not having figured out Qin Yurong's attitude from their previous conversation.
It feels ambiguous.
"We'll know when the time comes." Tan Linshuang put his hands behind his back.
Qin Yurong did not give a positive answer. After all, this matter was not as simple as it sounded. Once she appeared in court as a witness, she would mention her past with Tan Mozhu, which would be tantamount to exposing her own scars.
but……
"She hates Tan Mozhu. Although her hatred isn't as deep as mine, I know from the fact that she never remarried that Tan Mozhu caused her considerable harm, especially the experience of being strangled by Tan Mozhu that night. It still scares her to this day."
Tan Linshuang recalled her subconscious action of touching her neck.
"Tan Mozhu has really caused so much harm!"
He couldn't help but feel pity for Qin Yurong, but at the same time he also thought that even though she was the daughter of a wealthy family, she couldn't escape the harm of Tan Mozhu, let alone those girls from ordinary families.
The women who were persecuted by Tan Mozhu were definitely more than the four people who were found out.
Now that Xu Qiaolian has escaped from the devil's den, who will Tan Mozhu target with his evil claws?
"Master, be careful!"
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Ayun's urgent cry beside him. When he looked up, he saw a carriage rushing across the street, as if out of control, speeding towards him and Ayun.
The speed was too fast, and he had no time to dodge. He only heard a "ah" sound, and at the same time that Ayun pushed him away, Ayun was also knocked away...
"Ouch!"
Xingzi's hand trembled, and the erotic picture book fell to the ground. Meizi, who was standing next to her, lowered her head curiously to take a look. When she saw the two naked bodies entangled together, she immediately turned her face away in shame.
Xiaozhu quickly picked up the pornographic picture that had fallen on the ground.
Zhao Mingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Is it really that scary?"
Kyoko blushed and nodded, "Scary."
Zhao Mingyan took the erotic painting that Xiaozhu had picked up, pointed at the scene of lovemaking, and said to Xingzi, "This is the boudoir pleasure between husband and wife. If it can be completed harmoniously, both parties will soar to the sky."
Xingzi seemed to understand but not quite, her face still flushed.
"Why...why does the young lady want to show us this?" she asked bravely.
Zhao Mingyan said, "I want you to learn so that you can satisfy your young master in bed in the future."
Hearing this, Xingzi and Meizi looked at each other, and then lowered their heads at the same time.
Zhao Mingyan gently stroked her slightly swollen belly and said softly to the two, "I'm pregnant, so it's no longer convenient for me to take care of your young master's sexual needs. But don't be afraid. You haven't reached the age of marriage yet, so I won't rush you into serving the young master right away. First, familiarize yourself with the erotic paintings and understand the sexual relations between men and women, and then come to my room to serve your young master."
"Yes! Madam." The two nodded obediently.
Although Ah Tao did not emphasize the matter of serving Tan Linshuang to them, they were more or less aware that being a maid in a wealthy family meant that they would inevitably have to warm the bed for the male master.
As long as the mistress doesn't mind, it would be a good thing. If she becomes pregnant with the master's child, she might even be promoted to a concubine.
Thinking of this, the two of them were no longer shy. When Zhao Mingyan handed them the erotic picture again, they took it calmly.
Zhao Mingyan was about to tell them about Tan Linshuang's daily habits when she saw Li Yuzhu hurrying over. She turned to greet her and asked, "Mother, what's the hurry?"
"But what happened in the shop?"
She hadn't been to Mingyuezhai for a long time, and seeing the panic on Li Yuzhu's face, she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Are my third uncle and his gang trying to make trouble again?
"No, no!" Li Yuzhu waved her hands quickly.
After approaching, she glanced at Xingzi and Meizi who were standing by with their heads bowed, then pulled Zhao Mingyan and turned away. "It's Mr. Mei. He seems to be missing."
"Missing?" Zhao Mingyan was surprised.
"Could he have gone back to the countryside to visit relatives?"
Li Yuzhu said, "I've asked Madam Li to write to his relatives and friends in the countryside, and the letter says he hasn't returned."
"He hadn't shown up at the private school for several days. Some of the students' parents couldn't find him, so they came to our house to inquire. It was then that Madam Li discovered he had been missing for nearly half a month."
"So, she took the parents of those students to his house. She found no one there, not even Uncle Lin. So, Nanny Li immediately wrote a letter to his relatives and friends in the countryside."
"I received a reply today and felt something was wrong. I went to the Mei Mansion again, but still no one was there."
"As a last resort, Madam Li had to call two tall servants from the shop and climb over the wall into the Mei Mansion. Guess what happened?"
She spread out her hands, placed the back of her right hand on her left palm, and looked at Zhao Mingyan with a frown.
Zhao Mingyan narrowed her eyes, "Mom, this isn't storytelling."
Li Yuzhu slapped her palms and backs again, frowning, "Not only is there no one in the room, but the room is also completely messed up."
"We suspect that the thieves saw that no one was home and went in to steal, which is why they turned the house upside down."
Zhao Mingyan still narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze sharp. "It's also possible that a thief broke into the house and messed it up while fighting with Mr. Mei and the others, and Mr. Mei and Uncle Lin..."
She stopped abruptly, her expression becoming more serious.
"You mean... they were robbed by thieves..." Li Yuzhu was stunned and gasped on the spot.
"Has Madam Li reported this to the police?" Zhao Mingyan asked hurriedly.
"not yet……"
"Call a doctor!"
Before Li Yuzhu finished speaking, she heard a commotion outside. She immediately took Zhao Mingyan and Xiaozhu to check.
When they saw Tan Linshuang, with dirty clothes and messy hair, accompanied by two servants carrying Ayun back, the three people were suddenly stunned.
"Ayun!"
Xiaozhu was the first to come to his senses and stumbled forward.
"How did you get hurt?"
Li Yuzhu then helped Zhao Mingyan over.
"Brother!"
Ah Tao, who rushed over after hearing the news, was so frightened when she saw Ah Yun who was unconscious that she turned pale and almost fainted.
"What's going on? Didn't you say you were going to buy me some snacks? Why is Ayun injured?"
After entering, Zhao Mingyan first checked Tan Linshuang and found that he was not injured. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ayun who was being carried into the house.
A quick glance revealed no wounds on Ayun's body, only a scratch on her face that was bleeding.
"Ayun blocked the oncoming carriage for me, and he probably suffered internal injuries." Tan Linshuang frowned.
"Carriage?" Zhao Mingyan instinctively felt something was wrong when she heard it.
She then pulled Tan Linshuang to the side and asked quietly, "Did the carriage stop after it hit Ayun?"
"No." Tan Linshuang shook her head, her eyes sharp. "If the driver didn't intend to avoid punishment, then he did it on purpose."
"It's aimed at you!" Zhao Mingyan's eyes also became burning.
"Could that person have ordered this?" she asked in a low voice.
Tan Linshuang thought for a moment, "Until now, I have never made any enemies outside."
"Then it must be him!" Zhao Mingyan became more and more certain, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Tan Linshuang didn't jump to conclusion. "Let's go see Ayun first."
"Wait!" Zhao Mingyan grabbed his hand. "Mr. Mei has been missing for half a month, maybe even longer."
"Mr. Mei?" Tan Linshuang was puzzled. "How could he, a teacher, disappear inexplicably?"
Zhao Mingyan briefly recounted what Li Yuzhu had told her.
"The house was ransacked...were any valuables stolen?" asked Tan Linshuang.
"I haven't heard my mother mention it." Zhao Mingyan shook her head. "But Mr. Mei is not rich. Even if there is some money stored at home, it won't be much."
"Hmm..." Tan Linshuang stroked his chin, his eyes turning from bright to deep. "How well do you know this Mr. Mei?"
