The two of them moved forward cautiously while glancing around with their eyes, for fear of missing any clues.
At this moment, a woman's miserable voice came from a room:
"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go."
Hearing this voice, Lin Xiao trembled all over, stopped immediately, and turned pale!
"Ruoshui! Ruoshui!"
Lin Xiao slapped the door in panic and shouted loudly.
She didn't dare to imagine what Ruoshui had suffered.
"Ruoshui, it's me, Lin Xiao, open the door!"
What came from inside the house was still the woman's shrill and painful scream.
You can still vaguely hear the man's obscene laughter.
Lin Xiao's heart stopped suddenly, and her whole body felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
This is Li Yuxuan’s private residence!
He is now in his prince's mansion, so who is the man in the room?
What on earth did Li Yuxuan do?!
Why did Han Ruoshui fall to this point?!
Zhao Qian was also stunned. Although he didn't know what happened, he could imagine from the woman's miserable and desperate voice what kind of dirty things happened in the room!
Lin Xiao's eyes were red, and she was so filled with anger that she wanted to cut the people in the room into pieces!
She angrily kicked open the closed door and rushed into the room.
Seeing the dirty scene inside, there was a bang in her mind, and she fell into chaos instantly!
She couldn't remember how she kicked the disgusting man away, or how she ran to Han Ruoshui, helped her up, and helped her get dressed.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that Han Ruoshui's face was frighteningly pale, and he looked like a dehydrated fish. His lips were frighteningly purple, his eyes were blurry, and he was already in a coma.
"Ruoshui, how are you...?"
Lin Xiao tremblingly helped the weak Han Ruoshui sit on the chair and asked carefully.
"Ahem. Is that you, cousin?"
Han Ruoshui, who was in a coma, finally regained consciousness. She opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at Lin Xiao standing in front of her. Tears shone in her eyes and she murmured.
"It's me! Ruoshui!"
Lin Xiao nodded, her eyes moist, and she reached out her hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"How could you be...how could you be bullied like this?"
Lin Xiao's heart ached so much that she didn't know where to start with her choked words.
The man who was kicked to the ground got up, pointed at Lin Xiao's nose and cursed:
"Where did this bastard come from and dare to ruin my good deeds?! I spent a lot of money..."
"Boom!"
Before the fat man with big ears could finish his words, a fist hit him hard in the stomach.
The man screamed in pain, covered his stomach and bent over.
He raised his head in horror and saw Zhao Qian's gloomy and terrifying face.
"You bastard, how dare you confront me..."
"Boom!"
Another punch hit the man's stomach. This time, the man spit out two ounces of blood.
Without saying a word, Zhao Qian dragged him by his collar and threw him outside the door.
Lin Xiao helped Han Ruoshui up:
"Ruoshui, let's go, I'll take you home!"
Before leaving, Han Ruoshui weakly pointed to a wooden box placed beside the bed:
"It...it..."
Lin Xiao opened the wooden box, which was filled with broken silver.
"This is?"
Lin Xiao looked at Han Ruoshui doubtfully and asked.
Han Ruoshui bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with resentment.
The man who was thrown out of the door struggled to stand up, pointed at the wooden box, and taunted angrily:
"That's the money she got for selling herself, one tael a time, not cheap. I thought she was some kind of heavenly beauty, but it turns out she's just a lowly thing!"
Lin Xiao's face suddenly turned cold.
Zhao Qian even punched him, causing half of the man's cheek to turn red.
"You bastard, are you looking for death?!"
The man was so dizzy from Zhao Qian's punch that he staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground. It took him a while to recover, covered his face, and cried loudly:
"You dare to attack me? Do you know who I am? My cousin is the first-class maid in the seventh prince's house, Lady Han!"
"Don't say your cousin is a first-class maid, even if she is the seventh princess, I'm not afraid!"
Zhao Qian snorted coldly and punched the man again. The man's face deformed again.
Zhao Qian's punch was not without scruples, it knocked out three of his front teeth.
His face suddenly swelled up like a pig's head and looked funny.
Zhao Qian's punch also scared him.
He looked at the man in front of him who was as terrifying as a ferocious beast. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say harsh words and ran away from the other courtyard in a crawl.
Lin Xiao held back her anger and took Han Ruoshui back to the other courtyard where she lived.
Lan Lian turned pale with fright when she saw Han Ruoshui's miserable appearance.
She rushed to Han Ruoshui, nervous tears welled up in her eyes, and she was speechless.
"Lan Lian, prepare the bath water and wash Ruoshui well."
Lin Xiao calmly ordered Lan Lian to do something.
Only then did Lan Lian react. She quickly went to prepare hot water and took out a brand new set of clothes.
Han Ruoshui was like a puppet on strings, letting Lan Lian clean herself up.
After Lan Lian had finished cleaning up and helped Han Ruoshui go to sleep, she saw Lin Xiao's face became extremely gloomy, and her heart suddenly sank.
Lin Xiao slowly sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Han Ruoshui who had her eyes closed tightly and her brows furrowed, feeling a burst of sadness and anger in her heart.
"The head of the family, Miss Ruoshui..."
When taking a bath for Han Ruoshui, Lan Lian saw that her body was covered with green and purple bruises, which looked shocking!
Lin Xiao looked at her worried and anxious face, forced out a smile, and said with relief:
"fine."
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Lan Lian didn't ask any more questions.
"Master, you can rest first, I'll watch over her."
"Um."
Lin Xiao did not go back to his room to rest, but asked the coachman to go to the seventh prince's mansion to invite Li Yuxuan to Chen's Tavern.
She wanted to talk to him face to face!
Just in case, she even made a special trip to Lovers and invited Bai Zhancheng over.
At first, she planned to invite Zhao Qian, but after much thought, she thought that Zhao Qian's official position was not as strong as Bai Zhancheng's and could not deter Li Yuxuan, so she excluded him.
If Zhao Qian knew the truth, he would probably shed all his tears of sadness, right?
Li Yuxuan, who was drinking in the mansion, heard that Lin Xiao invited him to meet at Chen's Tavern. He immediately beamed with joy, ran to the stables excitedly, took out the horse, and ran towards Chen's Tavern.
When he came to the door of Chen's Tavern, he saw a luxury carriage parked in front of the Tavern. His face froze slightly, then he smiled and walked into the Tavern.
"Seventh Prince, please!"
A store clerk respectfully welcomed Li Yuxuan to the private room on the second floor.
In the private room, besides Lin Xiao, there were also Bai Zhancheng and the Fifth Prince Li Yuchang.
