He had suspected Mingzhu before, but was not sure about Mingzhu's purpose.
But this time, he felt that Mingzhu's purpose was related to him.
Is it really such a coincidence?
Did it just happen that the people who came to the yamen and were chasing the people were heading in this direction?
Moreover, Mingzhu was the only one who saw it.
The Cheng family believed Shanshui's words, and the old couple followed Cheng Minhong in cursing the group of people who were being chased by the government office.
Soon, Cheng Wen prepared dinner. The family was not as happy about the meal as before. Everyone was still worried about Cheng Yue.
After the meal, everyone waited for Cheng Wu and Cheng Jinxing for a while, but when it was midnight, no one had returned and everyone went to sleep.
Shanshui asked He Gui's wife to keep the food in the stove lit to warm the food and medicine, and then let her go to sleep.
Cheng Yue slept soundly in the room.
It was midnight when Cheng Wu and Cheng Jinxing returned. Shanshui was in the kitchen and when he heard the noise, he called them over.
The uncle and nephew had not eaten yet, so I left some food for them.
"Did you catch up?"
Shanshui asked.
"No, they escaped. Even the unconscious one ran away. They beat up that damned girl Mingzhu. Her face was swollen. It was completely unbearable to look at!"
"Uncle, you don't know, these people are so cruel, they even beat women! That girl Mingzhu is so pitiful!"
Cheng Jinxing said.
Although Shanshui guessed the result, he didn't expect Mingzhu to be injured. Could it be that his suspicion about Mingzhu was wrong?
"Starting tomorrow, none of us can take any leave. Lord Ji has ordered that we can only take leave after we capture these people. Lord Ji suspects that these people are from Prefect Xu's group. They hold a grudge against Lord Ji because of the incident at Zhuiyun Tower, so they deliberately came to Taoyuan County to cause trouble."
Cheng Wu said.
"We chased her all day today, and only Mingzhu saw her. But after we caught up with her, she was lost again. It's so embarrassing!"
Cheng Jinxing looked disgusted.
This was the first time he disliked himself.
"Jin Xing just said that A Yue is pregnant and she's bleeding. Is she okay?"
Cheng Wu asked.
"It's okay. I took the medicine to maintain the pregnancy, and my parents asked us to live here from now on. The doctor told Ayue to rest at home for half a month and wait until the pregnancy is stable before going out."
Shanshui replied.
"As long as they're saved, that's good. I've caught these bastards and I'm going to make them pay. They even dared to hurt my sister and brother-in-law. Do they really think Cheng Wu of Taoyuan County is just a decoration?"
Cheng Wu slammed the table and said angrily.
"Uncle, even my uncle can't do anything to them, can you?"
Cheng Jinxing rolled his eyes at Cheng Wu.
You can barely beat me, yet you still want to beat that group of people?
"Didn't you say your uncle was poisoned? Thieves are thieves, using such despicable means!"
Cheng Wu retorted.
"Indeed, there was a smell at the beginning, but I didn't think about putting the noodles there at the time."
After Shanshui woke up from his coma, Cheng Jinxing had already told him.
"Uncle, you're amazing. Mingzhu said that ordinary people would faint immediately or become weak and unable to fight if they smelled that smell, but you were able to stand up to them for so long. Your nephew really admires you!"
Cheng Jinxing clasped his fists towards the mountains and rivers.
Shanshui raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
After he knew about Cheng Yue's palm water, the water Cheng Yue gave him to drink every day was pure palm water.
Maybe it was because of this reason that he was not poisoned immediately, but slowly!
