Chapter 163 Save the Girl
The middle-aged lady seemed to have made up her mind. She suddenly pushed her daughter in her arms directly towards Lin Xiyue.
"Mingzhu, you follow them. I'll take care of everything here..." There was a firm determination on the middle-aged woman's face.
The girl named Mingzhu immediately shook her head, her eyes full of panic.
"Mom, no, I can't leave. What will you do if I leave..."
Given her stepfather's personality, he would definitely beat her mother to death.
She couldn't just walk away.
As long as she is around, stepfather Tan Mingwei will treat Mom better because he thinks she is still useful to him.
She can't leave, she has to stay with her mother.
"Mingzhu, be good and listen to your mother. You can't afford this..."
Who are the Zhang family members? They are well-known local tycoons who dominate the area. They are the people that her father tried his best to curry favor with. After being resented like this, he must seek revenge.
Given her grandfather's desire to curry favor with the Zhang family, it is very likely that he will give the pearl to the Zhang family as an atonement.
Mr. Zhang was lustful and cruel. He had 18 concubines, many of whom were beaten and disfigured due to miscarriages. Some of those who came from poor backgrounds were tortured to death.
Sending such a beast to their home is like pushing a pearl into a pit of fire.
When Tan Mingwang mentioned this idea to her before, she rejected it outright.
Tan Mingwang said that Mr. Zhang’s wife had been dead for several years, and now he wanted to marry Mingzhu to him.
It means that after Xuxian got married, she would be tortured by this beast just like those concubines.
Originally, I thought she was standing in the way, but Tan Mingwang had given up on this idea.
Unexpectedly, at this banquet today, he actually hid this photo of the old man in the dark room at home, hoping that he would do something bad to his daughter.
The matter has been settled, and it will be useless for her to stop it.
How cruel!
Thinking of this, the middle-aged lady's fingers clenched instantly.
There was hatred all over his face.
She only has this one daughter, and she will protect her even at the cost of her life.
The two men were still pushing and pulling, and Lin Xiyue walked up and grabbed Mr. Zhang by the clothes.
It was like picking up garbage, he just picked it up.
Perhaps because she was afraid that his blood would get on her, Lin Xiyue raised her arms reluctantly, trying to keep his body as far away from her as possible.
It looked as if he was not carrying a 200-pound fat man, but a light bag of garbage.
The mother and daughter's eyes widened instantly.
Ali standing by also opened his mouth in disbelief.
Lin Xiyue directly carried Mr. Zhang to the balcony and then threw him hard.
Mr. Zhang's body followed her hand, drew a beautiful parabola in the air, and landed accurately in the pool in the back garden.
Several people stared at each other in amazement at the bizarre scene.
"...Sister Xiyue, did you use some magic to make this person's body lighter?" Ali opened his mouth unconsciously, and the expression on his face was a little cracked.
The two people next to him had the same expression.
It was so shocking that it almost broke.
Although this is an illusion, the flowers, plants and other things here all look real.
He was tied up with a rope before and couldn't get free no matter how hard he tried.
"No." Lin Xiyue said and turned to look at the mother and daughter who were already stunned.
"Just clean up the ground and no one will find it."
After reacting, they nodded repeatedly.
"Oh... oh, okay."
He quickly found a rag, wiped the blood off the floor, and put the broken porcelain into the cabinet.
For a moment, there was nothing unusual in the room.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
A middle-aged man stood at the door with a serious expression.
When he saw several people standing in the room, a flash of shock crossed his face, but he quickly concealed it.
The corner of my eye unconsciously drifted towards the secret door inside the house.
The door had been closed by Lin Xiyue, so nothing unusual could be seen.
"Why don't you go out? What are you doing in the room?" The middle-aged man took a look at Tan Mingzhu's clothes, frowned, and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
"What are you wearing? It's so gray and if you don't know, you might think you're a beggar." The middle-aged man's tone was very stern.
Tan Mingzhu shrank back subconsciously.
"Why are you being so harsh? You scared Mingzhu." After Mr. Zhang was dealt with, the middle-aged lady calmed down.
Although she was dissatisfied with Tan's reputation, the middle-aged lady did not show it.
She took Tan Mingwang's hand and pulled him out.
"There are guests downstairs. It would be bad if both of us were not here."
Tan's fame was taken away by the middle-aged noblewoman.
Not long after they left, Tan Mingzhu suddenly squatted down, holding her stomach.
"Oh, my stomach hurts so much...ah..." As he said that, he sat down on the ground.
Something was running down her thighs.
It's blood... bright red blood...
"Are you pregnant?" Lin Xiyue could tell at a glance that the girl was having a miscarriage.
She walked straight over and closed the door.
At this time, Tan Mingzhu's face had turned pale with pain, and blood was flowing out from between her legs.
Lin Xiyue quickly helped her to the bed, and A'li turned around and prepared to go out to find someone to call a doctor.
But he was stopped by two people.
"I can't find anyone..."
"This child can't be saved." Lin Xiyue felt Tan Mingzhu's pulse and found that the child was gone.
However, Tan Mingzhu is not in danger of life and only needs to stay in bed to recuperate.
"Go to the bathroom and get a basin of hot water..."
Lin Xiyue commands Ah Li.
Ali quickly filled a basin with hot water, then opened the door and went outside to wait.
Lin Xiyue quickly wiped the blood off the girl's body and helped her change her clothes.
The girl leaned on the bed with a pale face. She seemed to suddenly remember something and turned over to look for her bag.
She quickly took out a letter from her bag and handed it to Lin Xiyue, but as she moved, her face turned even paler.
It seemed as if I would pass out at any moment.
"Ms. Yu, I know you are good people. Please help me do this last thing..."
As she spoke, she stuffed the letter into Lin Xiyue's hand, and she was too weak to speak.
"Help me... put this letter under the window sill in the back kitchen... there is a piece of wood there... just press the stake underneath." After Tan Mingzhu said this, her lips turned pale from the pain and cold sweat was pouring down her forehead.
Lin Xiyue turned around and poured him a cup of hot water, but she shook her head and urged, "You have to hurry up... otherwise... otherwise it will be too late..."
Then she lay down, talking to herself, "I wonder what that fool will do..."
Just at this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion downstairs.
I don't know who is shouting.
"There's a fire, there's a fire, everyone run..."
Hearing this voice, Tan Mingzhu, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened them.
It was unclear whether the expression on that pale face was joy or pain.
"It's still a step too late..." A sad smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she collapsed completely on the bed.
