Compared with Ah Zhu, who practiced martial arts since childhood, Ah Kui, who studied medicine and calligraphy when he was young, is much more delicate and timid.
Not only does she not know martial arts, she also doesn't know how to swim.
When the man saw her falling into the lotus pond, he grabbed the long stick he had prepared and held down her head as it struggled to come out.
One end of the long stick was tied with a thick coarse cloth, obviously not wanting to leave any scars on Aoi's body and arouse suspicion later.
Akui could only raise her hands with all her strength.
The man by the pond was extremely powerful and took the initiative. He saw that things were about to happen, but he knew that he was doing something risky, so he couldn't help but look around.
At this moment, a flash of light blue suddenly flashed in her sight.
Before he could react, he was kicked hard in the heart.
The old woman screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
Ah Zhu caught the long stick and stretched it into the water, letting Ah Kui grab it and climb up.
"Why did you come out... I was about to drown alive!" Akui was lying half-lying on the edge of the pond soaked to the skin, choking so hard that she couldn't open her eyes, couldn't speak clearly, and only felt terrified.
God knows how unwilling she was to look back when she fell into the water. She thought that Ah Zhu would appear to catch her at that time, but who knew that half of her life would be lost? Will Wuwu be able to be good sisters who trust each other in the future?
!
Azhu, who has always been a man of few words, did not explain much.
After all, we have to wait until the woman actually takes action before we can truly catch him.
If she showed up too early and turned around and the woman didn't acknowledge her fault and just said she accidentally knocked the person into the water, wouldn't all her previous efforts be wasted?
Grabbing the woman who was sitting up and trying to escape, Ah Zhu punched her in the face.
The moment the fist fell, a kick hit the knee at the same time. The woman was hit up and down, with almost no chance to fight back.
The shrill screams continued to spread in all directions.
"Spare my life..."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the woman, who was covered in wounds, with a bruised nose and face, fell to the ground and groaned with difficulty.
This maid didn't say a word, didn't ask anything, just grabbed her and beat her like this... She didn't even have time to say something stubborn - what kind of thing was this!
"Azhu, stop beating...if you continue to beat me, the girl won't be able to ask questions."
Ah Kui, who had been sitting on the ground without daring to take a closer look, grabbed one of Ah Zhu's hands.
As sisters who grew up together, she didn't know that Ah Zhu's motto since childhood was to take action whenever she disagreed.
It was only because he had grown older over the years and stayed by the girl's side that he suppressed his violent nature.
I also bumped into this woman today...
"Don't worry, you won't die. After you subdue the person and then bring him over, it will save you effort when you ask questions. This is exactly what the girl said." As Zhu spoke, he picked up the woman - girl
She was very happy to have such an idea, and she sincerely hoped that there would be more such errands in the future.
Akui opened her mouth.
The mother-in-law, whose eyes were so swollen that she could hardly open them, was about to cry without tears.
I don’t know if it will lead to death, but she really accepted it...
Beside a pavilion not far away, the young man who witnessed this incident while leaning on the pavilion pillars fell into deep thought after the initial shock.
It will save you more effort to ask again after you are convinced...
The girl's confession.
There seems to be only one girl in the Duke's mansion in this town, right?
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind, which is indeed interesting.
A servant woman who has evil thoughts and harms others is not worthy of pity.
It’s just...don’t ask again until you’re convinced—these words were still echoing in the young man’s ears.
He looked up at the silent night sky.
It seems I can't wait tonight.
The young man turned around and left, and couldn't help but start to speculate as to the real reason why Duke Zhen Guo chose to marry him - was it really that he had to marry him, or was it because the girl in the mansion was too arrogant and fierce, and no one in the capital dared to marry him, so he had to choose someone I don't know.
Are the basic outsiders going to fill this fire pit?
The so-called marriage is just a formality, will it be just a delaying tactic?
And, if this marriage happens accidentally, will it be... in the future?
The husband is disobedient - go and get beaten?
My husband came home late today——I went to take a beating...
Thinking of the possible deep meaning behind Xu's elders' move to check whether his body was strong when he was asleep, the young man suddenly felt a dull pain all over his body.
It’s because he is young and energetic, and has no experience in the world...
And since he accidentally bumped into this scene tonight, it may not be because God wanted to kill him and gave him a timely reminder.
Therefore, even if he can still withstand the attack, he has to reconsider at this time.
…
In the front hall, Ah Zhu threw the unrecognizable mother-in-law on the ground.
Liu Yide, who was hiding not far outside the hall, turned pale instantly when he saw this scene.
No wonder……
No wonder Xu Mingyi and the others look strange in everything!
After her expression changed several times, she suddenly turned around and disappeared into the night very quickly.
"...It was this woman who took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and the slave girl was unprepared, so she pushed the slave girl into the lotus pond! She was trying to drown the slave girl to death!"
In the hall, Akui had already told the story.
The Duke of Zhenguo's face was extremely serious.
Zhao Zhao was in Xiyuan today and informed them of the secret plan to lure the murderer to come forward.
Aoi is the most important part of this plan——
It's just that after hearing this, he didn't think there would be a result tonight. However, it was Zhaozhao's idea after all. Seeing that the child was serious and decent, of course he, as a grandfather, had to support him, so he has been waiting patiently here.
.
And if he had half-doubts about his granddaughter's poisoning before, now he is almost convinced.
There really is someone who is deliberately trying to harm Zhao Zhao!
Xu Jin and others' accidents were no less unexpected than the old man's.
"Tell me! Who ordered you?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
The frightened woman was kneeling on the ground. Although she did not dare to argue, she was so frightened that she just begged for mercy and could not say anything useful.
"This is the person from Aunt Ruan's yard." Mrs. Cui looked at it carefully, her eyes were very cold.
