Chapter 428: 428: Remove the Firewood from Under the Pot (Part 3)_1
"I’ve thought this matter through carefully," said Dong Huiying. "He Su wields significant power and wealth in Taihang Town and has close ties with the Jun City Tie Family. Last night I attempted to sneak into He Mansion, but she was not there. I suspect she’s either been held up by sothing or she’s intentionally hiding."
Dealing with soone like her, if you kill her directly, Dayuan’s laws are not to be trifled with, murder demands a life in return. And if you resort to other thods...
"Undermine the foundation!"
Though it was only four words, she managed to imbue them with a ruthless, iron-blooded ferocity.
The brothers exchanged glances before Dong Huiying pointed at a wooden chest and said, "This contains a good number of herbs, all of which we bought from the town previously. Zhi Chen, after I left ho, Shujun went back to Sky Blue Building to sing, and there Brother Liubao treated her well. That’s our breakthrough point. First, we start here!"
At the sa ti.
Within Qingfeng Prefecture, in a desolate and impoverished area.
"My lady, forgive this old woman for her incompetence, but I truly cannot diagnose your husband’s illness," said a woman in her fifties, slinging a wooden dicine chest over her back, bowing to He Su before standing up to take her leave.
He Su looked exceedingly haggard.
"Phoenix Blood..." She looked towards the person on the bed, who was none other than Liang Shujun, the woman the Liang family pined for.
Aunt Zhao frowned and glanced at Liang Shujun, surprised it had co to this.
Liang Shujun had been abducted by Aunt Zhao, but this was not on He Su’s instruction; Aunt Zhao had taken matters into her own hands.
Seeing He Su constantly worried over a man, especially one who was so unappreciative, Aunt Zhao thought to herself, perhaps it’s true that the unattainable is the most desirable.
Was the Owner’s preoccupation with Phoenix Blood perhaps for this reason?
Aunt Zhao used a knockout drug to subdue Phoenix Blood and abducted her. She did this to fulfill He Su’s heart’s desire, but who could have foreseen that despite inhaling the drug, the person woke up sooner than expected.
Initially upon waking, because the effects of the drug hadn’t worn off, she was too weak to exert any strength.
She must have realized what had happened and tried to escape, only to be discovered by Aunt Zhao.
An accident occurred during the process; Phoenix Blood’s head struck a stone, and since then, she had been continuously unconscious.
"Owner..."
Aunt Zhao hesitated at first but finally, gritting her teeth, she blurted out quickly, "It’s been half a month, but this person is like a living dead. We can’t neglect our business in Taihang Town forever, and you can’t keep watching over a ’living dead,’ can you?"
"Living—dead—person—?"
He Su seed provoked by the words, reacting with a backhanded slap that sent Aunt Zhao staggering several steps backward.
"Who allowed you to take the initiative?"
"And who allowed you to abduct him?"
"Get out!!"
He Su pointed towards the door, her voice fierce and eyes bloodshot, "If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t be like this, it’s you who ruined him!!"
Aunt Zhao panicked, but she was also annoyed, "Owner, I did all these things for you! You’re always worrying over him, but he not only is ungrateful, but he also ignores you. It’s not my fault he’s beco like this, how can you bla
like this?"
"You don’t understand, you simply don’t understand anything!" shouted He Su. "Do you think I just wanted his body, to spend one amorous night with him? If that were true, when he was in Taihang Town, I had plenty of opportunities to make a move, it wouldn’t have co to this, let alone let you overstep your place!"
