After the educated youth finished celebrating, they looked at Shen Mu Ning, and then at He Xiao Lan, who was now standing there timidly, as if she had been bullied.
They knew that Shen Mu Ning was probably going to settle scores with He Xiao Lan.
After all, when Shen Mu Ning first arrived at the educated youth settlement, she had a conflict with Wang Zhu and Hu Mei Ling.
This fully demonstrates her vengeful nature; she never lets things linger overnight.
Anyone who provokes her will retaliate on the spot.
So the educated youth resumed their usual routines and went about their business.
However, judging from their inefficiency and the fact that they kept glancing at Chen Mu Ning, it's clear that they were inefficient.
They wanted to secretly watch Shen Mu Ning deal with people.
However, they were all very sensible and didn't act too openly, lest they be discovered by He Xiaolan and resented.
Shen Mu Ning looked at He Xiao Lan, who was far away from her, anxiously twisting her clothes with her fingers.
He couldn't help but sneer: "He Xiaolan, are you scared now? What were you doing before?"
Shen Mu Ning picked up a thin, long branch that she had casually broken off on her way back to the educated youth settlement.
Ever since He Xiaolan jumped out in the square to testify, she has wanted to beat her up.
I only made her suffer a little in a verbal way before, it seems she doesn't learn her lesson.
Then I must make her feel what it's like to experience excruciating pain.
He Xiaolan watched as Shen Mu Ning, holding a rattan cane, walked step by step toward her, and then she turned and ran.
Would Shen Mu Ning give her a chance to escape? What a joke.
Shen Mu Ning quickly stepped forward, grabbed He Xiao Lan's wrist, and hit her fleshy parts.
"Since you don't want to live a peaceful life, then let me show you what a hard life is like."
With the force of Shen Mu Ning's strong lashes, He Xiao Lan felt as if her buttocks had been bruised and battered.
"Oh, you can't hit me. I just told a lie, I didn't do anything to you."
He Xiaolan screamed, startling the educated youth.
They originally wanted to watch Shen Mu Ning beat someone up, but now they're all making excuses to stay away from where Shen Mu Ning is.
I didn't dare peek anymore; it was too scary.
Hu Meiling warned herself again that she should not hang around Shen Mu Ning unnecessarily in the future.
I will help Shen Mu Ning in any way I can.
Judging from Shen Mu Ning's attitude, as long as he and she had even a little bit of kinship, it would be enough for him to live a stable life in the Xinshan Brigade.
"Why can't I hit you? Since you dared to frame me, you should be prepared to be punished."
With a few strokes of the rattan cane, Shen Mu Ning left He Xiao Lan's buttocks covered in red and swollen welts.
She knew she couldn't go too far; even though she was in the right, she couldn't cripple the person.
Just a few slaps will suffice, but that's only the surface punishment.
The seeds of the Bloodthirsty Vine were planted in He Xiaolan's body the moment Shen Mu Ning struck her for the first time.
That's why Shen Mu Ning hit so hard the first time, so that He Xiao Lan's attention would be focused on the pain.
Ignoring the seeds of the Bloodthirsty Vine, which seeped into her blood vessels from her mouth and reached her heart.
He Xiaolan, who had been brutally beaten, lay on the ground, too afraid to move.
Once she had recovered a little, she looked up, and the pained expression on her face suddenly turned as cold as an iceberg.
Hatred for Shen Mu Ning spread like wildfire through her heart.
Her eyes were like those of a venomous snake peeking out of a cave; they held no beauty, only resentment.
She stared intently at Shen Mu Ning's back, her fingers clenched tightly together, seemingly oblivious to the scratches her nails were getting into her palms.
Once she was able to stand up on her own, she limped back to her dormitory.
After He Xiaolan left, the educated youth in the backyard peeked out from the corner of the wall.
Hu Meiling whispered, "My God, this is terrifying!"
"It's alright, I only beat her up."
Lin Siqi's cold voice came from behind, making Hu Meiling's heart tremble again.
Patting her chest, she calmed her racing heart.
Hu Meiling looked at Lin Siqi with mixed feelings, never expecting that the girl who looked like she was next door could be so fierce.
The day Lin Siqi arrived, she was wearing a beautiful and expensive dress.
The older educated youth knew her immediately; she was someone's pampered daughter.
They were initially worried that she was the kind of spoiled, arrogant little princess who didn't know the ways of the world.
They intended to keep their distance from her and try to avoid getting involved with her.
However, after spending more than ten days with her, they felt that Lin Siqi was still trying to adapt to life in the countryside.
I usually get along with them fairly well, and nothing bad has ever happened.
I never expected her to say such cruel things. She's just as ruthless as Shen Mu Ning.
Lin Siqi knew that Shen Mu Ning's previous image as a strong woman was probably deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Coupled with He Xiaolan's screams just now, it was truly shocking.
That's why Hu Meiling felt that such a punishment was harsh.
However, they didn't connect the dots regarding the fact that Shen Mu Ning was framed.
Lin Siqi explained it to her in detail: "If you were in this situation today, what would be the result?"
Hu Meiling thought about it, even if there was no substantial evidence.
Based solely on Cao Jindi's words and He Xiaolan's testimony, the issue cannot be resolved so easily.
Hu Meiling subconsciously shook her head. Even without any connection to Cao Jin, the rumors and gossip were enough to cause her a lot of trouble.
"Moreover, judging from He Xiaolan's appearance, she probably did more than just this one thing."
Lin Siqi always remembered that He Xiaolan had seemingly entered Shen Mu Ning's room before.
Since Cao Jin said today that the two of them wrote love letters to each other, then He Xiaolan must be the one who put the love letters in Shen Mu Ning's room.
She had reminded Shen Mu Ning that day, which is why Shen Mu Ning didn't fall for it in this matter.
