Qiao Youyou stared at Wenren Yuebai's eyes for a long time, and suddenly said:
"No, you are hiding something from me."
Wenren Yuebai lowered his eyes, as expected he couldn't hide it from her.
He sighed softly, and looked at Qiao Youyou again, his tone actually carrying a hint of pleading:
"Youyou, trust me. I'll tell you everything after this is over."
…
The next day, Lao Yan took Wenren Yuebai and left Jinxiao Pavilion early.
Qiao Youyou finally agreed to Wenren Yuebai's request and stopped asking any further questions for the time being.
She changed into a black robe embroidered with gold, exuding a strong aura. In a moment, the managers of Jiangzhou would be here.
At this moment, a waiter suddenly brought a message saying that one of the managers, named Zhang, was accidentally hit by a carriage on the way and had just been sent to the clinic for treatment.
Qiao Youyou was shocked and asked quickly which hospital to send him to.
The waiter said: "The Xinguan, the one opposite Chunyilou!"
…
Qiao Youyou visited the injured Manager Zhang in the Xinguan Hall. Fortunately, he only had superficial injuries and no bone damage.
Qiao Youyou paid for the medicine and arranged for the servants of Jinxiao Pavilion to deliver many precious supplements, so that Manager Zhang could rest assured and recuperate first, and it would not be a problem to postpone the reconciliation of the accounts for a few days.
After leaving the Xin Pavilion, Qiao Youyou subconsciously looked towards the Chunyi Building opposite, but was somewhat surprised to find that -
The Chunyilou on that day was not open.
Is it possible that Xiaobai didn’t come here?
She felt curious and couldn't help but stop and watch for a moment.
At this time, the small door on the east side of Chunyi Tower was opened, and several women walked out hurriedly, holding basins of water in their hands.
Among them was the pipa-playing girl named Xiao㩙.
Outside the small door was an abandoned lot. Several girls poured the water in the basins onto the ground and then hurried back.
Qiao Youyou's eyes narrowed - she saw that the white silk cloths draped over the basins were stained with a dark blood color!
Just as Xiao Xiao was about to pour out the dirty water in the basin, someone suddenly grabbed his wrist.
The moment she raised her eyes and saw Qiao Youyou, a flash of panic appeared on her face.
"Xiaoyou, what's going on? Is Xiaobai in there?" Qiao Youyou asked anxiously.
"He, he's not here..."
Xiaoyou's words were evasive and she was obviously lying. Qiao Youyou didn't wait for her to finish and stepped into the yard.
"Hey, Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao, please don't hesitate--" Xiao Yu hurriedly chased after her and shouted.
Qiao Youyou rushed into the yard and immediately saw Shi Yan standing outside the door.
When Shi Yan saw her, he was also stunned for a moment.
At this time, the door behind Shi Yan opened, and several girls carrying basins of water walked out quickly.
This time, Qiao Youyou saw more clearly, the basin was filled with blood!
Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and she asked Shi Yan where Wenren Yuebai was.
"Miss Qiao, calm down and listen to me—"
After she finished speaking, Qiao Youyou was about to rush back into the house, but she didn't expect Shi Yan to be so strong that he dragged her back.
Shi Yan's expression was extremely serious:
"Mr. Wenren, please be sure to go in. My master is currently healing his wounds and must not be disturbed.
Don’t you want Master Wenren’s leg disease to be completely cured? "
Qiao Youyou's mind was filled with the basins of blood that were poured out. Her mind was in a mess and she clutched Shi Yan's wrist tightly.
"Weren't we applying medicine before? Why...why was there so much blood today?"
Shi Yan looked at her. If he didn't tell her the truth now, she would probably go crazy.
"Such a long-standing disease, do you think it can be completely cured by applying a herbal remedy? Those are just preparations for the future."
Shi Yan sighed.
"Have you ever heard of scraping bones to cure poison?"
