Ma Qingyi frowned and looked at him in confusion, "Asan would never do such a thing!"
Mo Yufeng unconsciously increased the strength of his hands. Ma Qingyi hummed softly, then looked at Mo Yufeng, "It can't be his!"
"..." Mo Yufeng looked at her expressionlessly, but he still couldn't hide the hint of suppressed anger in his eyes. "Then ask him why he ran out of the city after getting the money?"
"My hometown is not in the capital. Do I have to tell you when I go back home?"
"Then why are you running?"
"I'm...being chased by a man on a horse. Shouldn't I run?"
"Where were you the night before yesterday?" Mo Yufeng pressed on. Suddenly, Ma Qingyi beside him shook off his arm and shouted at him angrily, "Mo Yufeng! I know who he is better than you. It can't be him. My father was so good to him, how could he repay kindness with hatred! Do you think everyone in this mansion has problems? Do you think I am also the murderer?"
"...What nonsense are you talking about!" Mo Yufeng growled angrily, clenching his fists tightly.
Ma Qingyi looked down at his fist and sneered, "Do you want to hit me?"
"...What if I must kill him today?" Mo Yufeng looked at her and pressed on, his tone dropping to freezing point.
"I won't let you accidentally kill anyone here! Unless you kill me first!" Ma Qingyi pushed him hard, walked in front of Asan to block him, with a cold look in her eyes.
"Okay!... Come here, blindfold him and put him in jail! No one is allowed to enter without my permission!" Mo Yufeng looked at her angrily, then said coldly, turned and left.
Ma Qingyi stared in shock as Asan was dragged away, then looked at Mo Yufeng's departing back, and stood there with a frown.
Ah San was blindfolded and had no idea where he was being taken. It took a long time to get here. There seemed to be the sound of water nearby. Could this not be a prison cell? Then where did Mo Yufeng take him?
As he thought about it, Ah San became a little scared, "Mo Yufeng! Come out!"
As soon as he shouted the first word, countless echoes were heard. Asan became even more frightened, and the defenses in his heart gradually disappeared. Where on earth is this place?
“Roar~Roar~Roar~”
What...what's that sound...
Asan stood up quickly, his hands were tied and his eyes were covered. He didn't feel safe at all in this unknown place!
And the sound just now, is there a monster here?
Ah San's legs were shaking, and he was covered in cold sweat. He stood straight, as if he could see through the blindfold to see what was outside! But he couldn't see!
"No, someone come... take me away from here, where is this..." In the empty cave, there was only the echo of Ah San's voice, the echo of fear!
Three days later.
Slow and heavy footsteps were heard in the cave. Asan curled up in the corner and shivered. When he heard the voices, he hid in the corner even more fearfully, as if he didn't want to be seen!
"Asan!" Ma Qingyi called softly.
"Miss...Miss!" Ah San heard the familiar voice and crawled to Ma Qingyi's feet. "Let me out! Let me out...Please!"
"Dad once said that the most frightening thing for people is having their psychological defenses destroyed bit by bit! The most terrifying person is someone who repays kindness with enmity! I really didn't expect you to be such a person!" Ma Qingyi's tone became colder and colder as she spoke, looking down at him.
"...Miss..." Asan called her blankly.
"Do you remember the first day you came to the Ma Mansion? You are only five years older than me, but your face shows a maturity that does not appear at that age. Your father trusts you, everyone praises you, and I admire you. Although you have been working in the kitchen, you are right. You were indeed an honest person before! But how can I face the you of the past now!" Ma Qingyi suddenly shouted.
"Did the prince say that or..."
"It's because of what you said!"
“…What did you say?”
"You came here because you were homeless! How come your hometown is outside the city?" Ma Qingyi said in a cold voice.
“…I’m sorry, Miss!” Asan knelt on the ground, his voice choked with sobs and unable to speak.
"Asan, raise your head!" Ma Qingyi squatted on the ground, looked at him calmly, and then took off the blindfold on his eyes. What she saw were a pair of bloodshot and lifeless eyes!
"I hate everyone who betrays me, and I hate those who repay kindness with enmity even more! Why, why do you do this? What do you want the silver for?" Ma Qingyi pinched his neck cruelly and asked coldly.
"No, it wasn't me. I just killed the cat and then wrote. It was that group of people who threatened me. I didn't kill Lanlan and Fatty, and I didn't kill the master! Miss, you have to believe me!" Asan grabbed Ma Qingyi's hand madly and said crying.
"Why are they threatening you? What are they threatening you with? Who are they?"
"I don't know. They all wore masks and spoke incoherently. It seemed like they were not from here. They said if I didn't create this chaos, they would kill me! I'm a coward and useless! But I didn't hurt anyone..." Asan kowtowed and hit his head against the ground, making a thud. Soon blood came out of his forehead.
"Asan, I won't kill you, but remember, from now on, we no longer know each other! I let you leave today, but your life or death in the future has nothing to do with me!" Ma Qingyi stood up and turned away without hesitation.
Ah San fell to the ground, eyes open, motionless. He knew this place so well! It was the place where the master had brought him back! He had been hunting here when he accidentally rolled down a cliff, unable to move. It was then that the master, clad in black armor, saw him and brought him to the Ma Mansion, where he had family and a place to stay. He no longer had to risk everything just to eat and survive! How ironic it was now!
Sometimes the beginning is also the end!
Suddenly, footsteps were heard again. Asan slowly raised his head and saw Mo Yufeng. After looking at him, he lowered his head again.
"Are you willing to tell it?" Mo Yufeng asked lightly, his tone even colder than Ma Qingyi's!
"Go ask the lady, I told her everything!" Asan said in a low voice without raising his head.
Mo Yufeng was stunned for a moment. No wonder the eye patch on his eyes fell to the ground. He thought he had torn it off himself!
Mo Yufeng glanced at him, took a few steps, then stopped without turning around, and said calmly, "Just because she didn't kill you doesn't mean you won't die in the future!"
Ah San's body suddenly stiffened, not because Mo Yufeng's words were so scary, but because it was the truth. Those people might not let him go!
"Take good care of the young lady! I believe you will take good care of her..." As San watched his figure about to disappear at the entrance of the cave, he shouted to him.
