Chapter 662 Incident (1)
Huaisheng opened the door, and as soon as he entered, he was hit by an extremely strong smell of alcohol. Even with a scarf tied around her face, Shen Miao couldn't help but frown slightly. Seeing Shen Miao frown, Huaisheng seemed a little embarrassed. He trotted over and took out a diesel lamp from the other end, found a tinder and lit it.
The light flickered and lit up, making everything in the room a little brighter. Then a middle-aged man was seen lying on the bed. The man was very thin, and even his skin was a waxy yellow color. He was snoring at the moment.
Huaisheng looked at the two people in front of him anxiously. The woman said, "Wake him up."
Huaisheng nodded, walked to the man, gently shook the man's arm, and whispered: "Dad, Dad, someone is coming."
The man didn't react at first, as if he was getting annoyed by Huaisheng's shaking. He subconsciously slapped him and cursed, "Why are you howling in the middle of the night?"
Huaisheng instinctively closed his eyes, but before the slap could land, he cautiously opened them, only to be met with his father's terrified gaze. Following his gaze, he saw the handsome young man, who had been looking at him coldly and indifferently, already standing in front of him, his slender hands gripping the man's throat.
"Immortal, Immortal!" Huaisheng was anxious, afraid and worried, but in the end he suppressed his fear and said, "My father didn't mean to offend you! Please spare his life!"
Shen Miao glanced at the man who was so frightened that all sleepiness disappeared instantly, and then she said calmly: "Let him go."
Only then did Xie Jingxing let go of his hand.
Huaisheng was a little scared.
His father knelt on the ground, looking at the two people in front of him, his body shaking uncontrollably. He probably instinctively sensed the dangerous aura from the other party, especially the seemingly handsome man.
Shen Miao said, “Are you Tian Li?”
Tian Li nodded and said, "That's right."
Shen Miao glanced at Tian Li. Rumor had it that back in Liuzhou, Tian Li was also a handsome scholar with immense talent, which was why he won Chang Zaiqing's heart and the two became husband and wife. However, after failing the imperial examinations repeatedly, he gradually developed a sense of self-loathing and simply became a frequent gambler and tavern dweller, drinking and gambling. Chang Zaiqing, disgusted with such a life, left home. Looking at Tian Li's appearance now, she could understand a little more why Chang Zaiqing left home. Tian Li no longer had any trace of his former dashing demeanor; the man before her was clearly a frustrated and downtrodden man.
“Is Chang Zaiqing your wife?” Shen Miao asked.
Hearing this, Tian Li's body trembled violently, and he raised his head to look at Shen Miao. Even though he had tried his best to hide it, Shen Miao could still see the anger and humiliation in his eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’m not Chang Zaiqing’s friend. If you have any ideas, feel free to speak up.” Shen Miao said.
Tian Li looked at Shen Miao seriously again, as if to confirm whether what Shen Miao said was true. Shen Miao looked at him frankly. After a while, Tian Li spat on the ground and said, "That lowly woman ran away with my money! Shameless!"
Huaisheng shrank back, his eyes looking somewhat sad.
Shen Miao's gaze fell on Huaisheng and she said, "Huaisheng, go to the yard. Your father and I have something to talk about."
Huaisheng glanced at Shen Miao, then at Tian Li, but in the end he said nothing and silently took a blanket and went out.
After Huaisheng left, Shen Miao asked Tian Li to explain the whole story.
It was similar to what the people sent by Shen Miao had found out. Chang Zaiqing's husband was actually Tian Li. When Tian Li and Chang Zaiqing got married, it was a beautiful story. Chang Zaiqing was a talented woman from Liuzhou, and Tian Li was also a talented scholar. Tian Li's family also had several shops. Although they were not extremely wealthy, they could be considered a well-off family.
