Seeing that the monkeys scatter when the tree falls, and even his wife and children are in such a miserable state, Hong Xian wants to die. He takes half a breath and lies gasping for breath in the simple house, with no one to take care of him.
When Zhuang Yu'an found the residence, he was so disgusted by the dilapidated, dirty and small house that he almost vomited.
If she didn't want to get information out of Hong Xian, why would she, the daughter of a wealthy family, condescend to come here?
After opening the door and entering, Zhuang Yu'an smelled a mixture of medicine and other pungent smells, and almost turned around and left.
"Huh..." She covered her mouth and nose with her hands, frowned and looked inside. Finally, in a dimly lit room, she saw Hong Xian lying on the bed and breathing slowly.
A man who was once full of vigor and vitality, now has gray hair, a face full of stubble, and a pale and miserable look in just a few days.
"Hey!" Zhuang Yu'an called out tentatively and kicked the man on the bed a few times, waking him up.
Hong Xian's sunken eyes slowly opened, and he saw a beautiful angel suddenly appear before him. She had fair skin, red lips, and white teeth, and she was smiling as she descended from the sky...
"you……"
"Uncle Hong, are you okay?" Zhuang Yu'an suppressed his nausea, pulled the corners of his lips stiffly and smiled.
"Who are you?" Hong Xian was half awake and half confused.
"I'm here to save you." Zhuang Yu'an smiled slightly, his smile was pure and beautiful, but there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
Hong Xian's cloudy eyes sparkled, "Oh! She's truly an angel!"
"Save me...save me..." Hong Xian stretched out his hand and tried to sit up from the bed excitedly, but fell down weakly.
"Okay, I'll save you!" Zhuang Yu'an stood with her back to the light. Her beautiful face was in the shadows, and her sparkling eyes gleamed with coldness. "First, tell me why you became like this. Then I'll know how to save you."
"I..." Hong Xian's pupils dilated instantly as he heard this, and a boundless darkness of fear swept over him. "No, I can't say..."
Zhuang Yu'an stared at him with a cold smile. "Do you want to live? Or do you want to die on this bed, with no one to find you, no one to collect your body, and no place to even get a grave?"
"No! I don't want to die, save me!" Hong Xian's hands were shaking. To fall to this point and die without a burial place was not what he wanted.
"Then tell me why you became like this." Zhuang Yu'an's voice became soft and coaxing.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Hong Xian nodded excitedly and started talking, but there was uncontrollable fear in his eyes.
"That day I took Xing'er to Ye Jiuye's Jin Garden. We took out the painting 'Yishan' and thought Xing'er would be able to attract his attention, but Ye Jiuye didn't say anything and just gave him the check."
"But Ye Jiuye didn't give Xing'er any chance at all. He just kicked her out. But when we saw... saw that girl."
When talking about the "girl" that Hong Xian mentioned, his eyes flashed with a strange light. Even Zhuang Yu'an, who had been listening nearby, clenched his hands nervously and stared at him.
"What happened to that girl?" There was a hint of coldness in Zhuang Yu'an's voice, and his beautiful face became gloomy.
"That girl is very beautiful. She exudes a pure and beautiful aura. Her eyes are as clear as crystal. She is as beautiful as a forest elf that has descended to the human world."
"Master Ye Jiu held her in his arms with a tenderness I had never seen before, cherishing her like a baby, but Xing'er hurt the girl."
"Master Ye Jiu was very angry and threw Xing'er into Ziyuan. I was so scared that I didn't even dare to save Xing'er, so I came back."
"Later, everyone knew that I had offended Master Ye Jiu in Jinyuan. They all... all..." Hong Xian reached out and grabbed Zhuang Yu'an's hand, "Save me, save me!"
