He Zhiran listened to Mo Jiuye's serious tone and knew that he was also helpless, so he did not intend to continue teasing him.
"When I just went to the kitchen, I saw Li Rou'er fooling around with an official."
Mo Jiuye was not good at talking about such gossip, so he did not make any response.
Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, He Zhiran simply closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Perhaps because Mo Jiuye was by his side, He Zhiran was much less vigilant.
She slept very soundly that night and woke up early.
As soon as he left the room, he saw Ms. Zhao waiting there.
Mrs. Zhao looked around for a while before pulling He Zhiran to a corner.
"Auntie, what happened?" He Zhiran knew that what Zhao wanted to say to her would need to be recited, so he spoke in an extremely low voice.
Mrs. Zhao carefully checked her surroundings again, and after confirming that no one was around, she whispered:
"Auntie got up last night and saw the concubine of the Li family fooling around with an official."
He Zhiran also witnessed this incident with his own eyes, but he didn't seem too surprised.
"Aunt, that's their business, we'd better keep a close eye on it."
"I wanted to be out of sight, but I heard what they said, so I feel the need to remind you."
According to Zhao, Li Rouer must have mentioned herself when she was fooling around with Li Hu, otherwise Zhao would not have come to her early in the morning.
"Aunt, did they talk about me?"
"I was a little far away at the time, and I vaguely heard that the official seemed to have promised Li Rou'er that he would cause trouble for you."
Hearing this, He Zhiran's face looked a little ugly.
Li Rou'er is really capable of seeking death. He sees her acting like a clown all day long and doesn't even bother to talk to her. It's not over yet.
"Thank you aunt for reminding me, I will pay attention to it."
When Zhao saw He Zhiran's understatement in agreeing, she couldn't help but remind him.
"The official wants to cause trouble for you. This matter is not trivial. You should discuss it with Jiu Ye and see how to deal with it!"
"I know, aunt, I will discuss it with my husband later."
He Zhiran promised, pretending to be chatting with Zhao so as not to be seen strange.
After seeing off Mrs. Zhao, He Zhiran came to the kitchen of the inn, intending to borrow a wooden basin to wash up.
At this time, Peng Wang and several officials also came out of their respective rooms.
The officials were busy distributing breakfast to the exiled prisoners, which was still black-faced steamed buns.
Of course, the only recipients they are distributing to now are the He family and the Li family.
As for the Fang family and the Xie family, Peng Wang had figured out yesterday that Mo Jiuye wanted to make friends with them, so naturally he couldn't watch them continue to eat black-faced steamed buns, so he didn't call anyone to pick them up.
Not to mention the Mo family, with such a capable woman, how could she eat black-faced steamed buns?
What's more, people still have money in their hands, so it's not a big deal to buy some food at the inn.
He Zhiran indeed planned to buy some more ingredients from the innkeeper.
However, this time she only gave the boss one tael of silver.
Breakfast doesn't need to be so extravagant, just some rice porridge and side dishes.
Seeing He Zhiran enter the kitchen, the eldest sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law knew that she was going to prepare breakfast, and they quickly followed her.
Breakfast was simple, and neither the eldest sister-in-law nor the fifth sister-in-law had to do anything.
When He Zhiran saw this, he was also happy to be at ease.
When she came out of the kitchen, Peng Wang called her over.
"Today I will send two officials to the city to purchase supplies for the road. You can go shopping with them."
Being able to go out for shopping could not stop the smile on He Zhiran's face.
She has been here for several days and has not visited the market yet!
Now she finally had a chance. Not only did she want to find out some of the market conditions here, but she also needed to make up for the supplies she would need in the future.
"Thank you, Mr. Peng." He Zhiran thanked him sincerely.
"We have to continue our journey in the afternoon, so you can use your time in the morning wisely," Peng Wang kindly reminded.
"One morning is enough." He Zhiran finished speaking and planned to go back and prepare.
She had just taken a few steps when she heard a piercing scream coming from the hut.
"Ah...what's wrong with my son..."
When the officers just handed out the black-faced steamed buns, they disliked the strong smell and just threw a package of black-faced steamed buns away from a distance without even checking it.
Hearing this sound, the officials all ran towards the direction of the hay shed.
He Zhiran thought to himself that this must be Mo Jiuye's handiwork, but he didn't know how badly he tortured the two brothers to make their family scream in such a miserable way.
With a heart full of gossip, He Zhiran followed the officials and ran to the hay shed.
Visible through the gaps in the crowd, two bloody things were lying in an inconspicuous place in the hut.
To be precise, they are the brothers He Ming and He Liang.
The faces of the two of them could not be seen at all at this moment, their faces were all blurred by blood, and their long hair was stuck to their faces.
There were no wounds on their bodies, but upon closer inspection, their wounds were actually on their wrists and ankles.
This scene was so frightening that women and children hid far away, and some people were sobbing softly in the corner but did not dare to come forward.
A woman who looked about fifty years old knelt beside the two of them and cried heartbrokenly.
"Who is this black-hearted person... Wuwuwu... He actually treated my son so cruelly... Wuwuwu...
Our He family is already unlucky enough. We suffered such an unreasonable disaster and our house was confiscated and exiled. Our son was also injured like this... wu wu wu..."
He Zhiyuan didn't cry when he saw the tragic situation of his two sons. Instead, he held his hands and walked back and forth in circles, looking worried.
Seeing the official coming, He Zhiyuan felt like he saw a savior.
He grabbed Peng Wang's sleeve.
"Master, you have to make the decision for my son. Yesterday they were pushing the cart for you vigorously, but this morning it has become like this."
Peng Wang felt dizzy when he saw this scene.
He has been working as an escort officer for so long, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
Who do the He brothers have a grudge against?
Then there are only the Mo family.
But except for Mo Jiuye, who was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed, the rest of the Mo family were female.
Even if He Zhiran has some tricks, she is a weak woman and can still bully others with some fancy tricks.
If He Zhiran made people like this, Peng Wang didn't believe it in his heart.
Just when he was frowning in thought, He Zhiyuan caught a glimpse of He Zhiran who was standing behind the crowd watching the excitement.
He pointed at He Zhiran and said: "Master, it must be her, this poisonous woman who hurt my son like this.
Except for the Mo family, we have never offended anyone. This vicious woman also beat my son last night. Sir, it must be her. You have to make the decision for my son..."
Peng Wang pushed He Zhiyuan away impatiently.
"You can imagine that a weak woman like her could hurt someone like this?"
