They were carried along, and soon arrived at a courtyard.
While the man wasn't paying attention, Xiang Wan looked up and saw that it was Aunt Xue's residence!
A courtyard where a murder occurred less than a month ago was first used by Hao Xuan and Hao Yuchun, and now it's her turn. Is this the legendary ill-fated relationship? Xiang Wan sighed inwardly. What wouldn't people who don't even respect ghosts and gods dare to do?
She ordered someone to put her on the bed where Aunt Xue had been lying, and then Granny Shi told the person to leave.
"Hao Xiangwan, Hao Xiangwan, I never thought you'd fall into my hands one day! Don't worry, before you die, I'll let you taste the pleasures of ecstasy, hmph!"
Granny Shi lit an incense stick in the room and then went out.
Xiang Wan immediately sat up and groped her way up to the roof beam in the dark. Just as she stood firmly against the wall, a large hand covered her mouth and nose, and a hurried, deep voice said in her ear: "Don't move, someone's coming."
The hand covering her mouth and nose had calloused fingertips and the base of its thumb, clearly belonging to someone who practiced martial arts regularly. The oppressive presence beside her made Xiang Wan hesitant to move. She calmed herself, silently removing his hand, and held her breath to observe the situation below.
"Young master, young master, you can't go in. This is Aunt Xue's courtyard. There was a murder there not long ago. You can't go there."
"Shut up! If you utter another word, believe me, I'll chop you up!"
The door was pushed open as soon as he finished speaking.
Hao Zheng was unsteady on his feet and staggered as he walked inside. Shi Tou carried the lantern, supporting Hao Xuan's arm with one hand and stretching the lantern out as far as possible with the other, afraid that Hao Xuan might sway and extinguish it.
"What nonsense! Do you think I'd believe in that? If they're so capable, let them come after me. I haven't killed anyone, I haven't harmed anyone, what's there to be afraid of!"
Despite being drunk, Hao Zheng still spoke fluently. Judging from Xiang Wan's opinion, his drunkenness was most likely an act.
"You, get out. Don't stand here. You're an eyesore to me."
The stone was pushed out, and Hao Zheng casually closed the door and bolted it.
"Young master, shall I get you some tea to sober you up?"
"roll!"
The footsteps lingered outside for a while before gradually fading into the distance.
Hao Zheng calmed down, groped his way to Aunt Xue's bed, lay on his back, and stared at the gauze window for a long time without blinking.
The pale moonlight shone in through the window, perfectly shrouding Xiang Wan and the person next to her in darkness.
The incense burned slowly, and soon the entire room was filled with an intoxicating fragrance.
It's an aphrodisiac incense. I never expected that Granny Shi would even scheme against Hao Zheng!
Xiang Wan was prepared and silently put the homemade pill into her mouth. Unexpectedly, a hand reached out from the side, grabbed the hand holding the pill, and pulled it in front of her.
Considering they were both thieves, and that if anything happened to the person next to them, she would be discovered, she reluctantly took out one and placed it in her palm.
The person next to him pinched the pill between two fingers and swallowed it without hesitation.
In the darkness, his face was not visible, but his two eyes gleamed in the night.
Hao Zheng, who had been lying in bed for a long time, began to breathe heavily, his breathing becoming increasingly labored. Xiang Wan's attention was drawn to Hao Zheng's movements, so she stopped looking at the person next to her.
Hao Zheng, who was usually impeccably dressed, was now curled up like a boiled shrimp, groaning intermittently, his clothes gradually coming undone as he writhed. He covered his crotch with both hands, moving them back and forth while muttering to himself.
Xiang Wan was incredibly embarrassed, her face burning with embarrassment. Her original plan was to knock the intruder unconscious, extract the truth, and then kill him to silence him. She never expected that someone would be beside her, and Hao Zheng below was doing something unspeakable. She felt like she was being roasted over a fire, every second an agony.
Who are the people around me? Why are they here?
Xiang Wan asked the system in her mind, but the unreliable system refused to answer, which infuriated her.
Turning her head to look at the person next to her, Xiang Wan saw that the two eyes stared at Hao Zheng for a while, then turned their gaze to her. The light in their eyes seemed to be getting smaller. Xiang Wan had a feeling that the person next to her was laughing.
What's so funny! It's just that she was forced to watch a man's private moments, it wasn't voluntary!
Xiang Wan tried to ignore the stares around her, gradually calming down. She thought about finding an opportunity to leave later and make the culprit lose out instead of gaining an advantage. But right now, the most important thing was to get rid of the people around her.
Xiang Wan conjured an extremely thin ice needle from her fingertip, held her breath, and threw it towards Hao Zheng's sleeping acupoint, but it was blocked by a large hand at the last moment.
With a light step, the man leaped to Hao Zheng's bedside and swiftly knocked him unconscious.
Without further hesitation, Xiang Wan jumped down quickly, climbed out of the window, and hurried towards Granny Shi's residence. The person behind her quickly followed, landing steadily behind her less than ten feet away.
Who is this person, and why are we following her?
In order to get rid of him, Xiang Wan deliberately circled around several times until she could no longer see him before arriving at Granny Shi's house.
He listened closely to the sounds inside and found that the breathing inside was deep and even. He then used a wire to pry open the door latch and slipped into the room.
Xiang Wan reached out and pressed the pressure point on Granny Shi to put her to sleep. As she pondered how to get rid of Granny Shi, someone suddenly appeared beside her. Xiang Wan instinctively reached out to stab, but the person dodged the attack. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the very person she had spent so much time trying to get rid of.
Just as Xiang Wan was about to launch another attack, the man suddenly spoke up: "Shh, I'm here to help you."
