C79 Facts Deceived

Linn Changxi's house.

Mrs Zhao was lying on the bed with a bowl of sugar water placed on top of her bed. Mrs Zhao's elder sister, Zhao Xiaowan, was sitting beside her, chewing on a melon seed and asking: "What exactly did that nephew from Old Linn Family say? Would the Pi Xiu be willing to give it to you? "

"I haven't let up yet!" Mrs Zhao closed her eyes and said, "This baby is usually quite easy to pinch, why is he so concerned about a broken piece of jade?"

"Hmph, did that fox spirit tell him something? "The two of them spend their days together sleeping in the same bed. Then when that woman blows the wind by the pillow, who knows …"

Mrs Zhao's eyes suddenly opened wide, spitting towards the ground. "No, that won't happen! That damned woman didn't have the guts! She dared to say that? "Let her have ten guts!"

"But maybe …" Zhao Xiaochang muttered.

"Third Sister, you don't need to worry about this matter." Mrs Zhao didn't want to see her sister not trusting her, so she felt that she was meddling in this matter. "Why did you come here today if you don't have any business?"

Isn't it because of that girl He Miao!" Didn't you say you want me to find you a rich man in the town? I found it! "He's a bit old.

"External? "How rich is he?" Mrs Zhao's eyes lit up with a silver light.

"Extremely rich …" Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Doctor Xu!" The voice outside the door responded in a deep voice.

"Hey, the doctor is here. Hurry up and open the door!" Mrs Zhao urged her sister.

"The doctor is here." Zhao Xiaochang opened the door and greeted Xu Jiang as he saw him outside.

"Yes." Xu Jiang nodded, and scanned the inside, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Three days later, Liulang came back from town with news about Xiu Er.

There was no household register of Xiu Er in the town, but according to the women's appearance provided by the Liulang, it was similar to a brothel girl named Hong Yue.

The Liulang told Hemai about the information she found. Amongst them, there was one other thing, namely that the so-called gambling house was in debt, and that it was fake.

It was unknown what method Hong Yue used to deceive a poor scholar, but she actually teamed up with the shop assistant of the gambling house and had Helin stupidly pay back the debt he owed Xiu Er.

Knowing this news, Linn Hemai couldn't suppress her anger and rushed out of the room towards the small cottage where Helin lived.

Xiu Er was not in the Mao Courtyard, but was squatting in a sunny place in the courtyard, washing the clothes of two women.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Facing Hemai who had suddenly barged in, Helin wiped the water droplets off his face, feeling so stunned that he did not know what had happened.

"Where's Xiu Er?" Hemai asked.

"Oh, oh …" Helin stood up and shook his wet hands, "Today … Today is the day of repayment. She went to town. "

Hemai's heart tightened, "She went to town? Did she go to the town to pay her debts? "

Helin nodded, sighing in melancholy: "Right, we should be relieved to know about this as soon as possible."

"Then where did you get the silver from?" Hemai stared at Helin, "Don't tell me you are..."

"I gave the Pixiu to Xiu Er and let her go to pawn it first," Helin replied softly, not daring to look Hemai in the eye. "Wait until we have plenty of money in the future before we redeem it …"

"Redeem my head!" Hemai shouted angrily, "You've been tricked, you big idiot!"

"What?" Helin looked at Hemai in a daze, "Little sister, you …"

"Do you know who Xiu Er is?" Hemai looked at Helin with both exasperation and amusement, "You don't know anything at all, the name and identity of Xiu Er, are all fake!

"How could that be?" Helin scratched his head in embarrassment. "That's impossible, didn't I tell you before …"

"She said that she was an orphan girl, yet you didn't even check her words before believing her?"

Helin coughed lightly, "She wouldn't lie to me. Little sister, I know that you have a huge prejudice against Xiu Er. Now that we have moved to another place, she's still not used to it, so she's too angry and lazy. Didn't I already do all the things that she should have done? "Right now, the two of us have also moved to Mao Courtyard. As long as it doesn't hinder your eyesight, you …"

"It's not a question of whether she's an eyesore or not," Hemai felt helpless facing the unchanging Helin, "Your woman, everything is fake. Even the name that you call her every day is fake. Let me ask you, she said that she owed money, but was the person chasing after the debt a gambler? You saw Xiu Er go to the gambling den with your own eyes? "

Helin was startled, "This … No. After being together with me, Xiu Er had naturally changed his attitude. I advised her not to go to that kind of place where fish and dragons mixed together, and she would listen to me. "

Hemai coldly snorted from her nose, "Idiot! From the beginning to the end, this has been a trap, you've been deceived! "

She gritted her teeth and asked: "How long did Xiu Er walk for?"

"About an hour." Helin replied honestly.

Hearing that, Hemai was about to head out immediately, but when she turned his head back, he saw Helin standing in the courtyard, holding onto a piece of clothes that had been wrung dry, and not moving at all.

"Why don't you go when she goes to a pawnshop in town?"

"She said this is something she caused. She can solve it herself, but she won't let me go." Hemai stammered.

Hemai was furious, "You … Forget it! Just you wait, she won't come back! "

Linn Helin watched as Hemai quickly turned around and headed to the east, and before long, she was riding on an oxcart with Liulang and the other two, heading out of the village.

A cool breeze brushed against his face, causing Linn Helin to shiver. He raised his head and looked at the burning sun in the sky, feeling dizzy.

"..."

"..."

Xiu Er had never been to the pawnshop in the town before, but there were no movements from the Linn Changxi's house in the village either. On the four sides of the pawnshop, Hemai had asked around for the small vendors by the side, but none of them had seen Xiu Er pass by.

Hemai frowned, "Where can this woman go? Could it be that once I took the Pixiu, it would be simple on the roadside? "

"Impossible," Yang Liulang firmly shook his head, "According to the Jadeite Pi Xiu's value, the possibility of her doing this is very small, and the risk is too great. She must have found somewhere else to hide, and we can go to the pawnshop after the rumors have passed."

Seeing that Hemai still had a face full of difficulty, he comforted: "Don't worry, Dacheng and Ma Er, these brothers are all in town, there is no problem taking care of one person. We will also find a day to go back first. If there is any news, we will come to deliver a letter. "

Hemai naturally believed in the Liulang's words, she dispiritedly sighed for a while, then sat on the oxcart and returned the Xiaoqing Village.

Time was of the essence, the moment that the front foot knew of Xiu Er's identity, the back leg Xiu Er cheated Pi Xiu of her identity and ran off without a trace.

Could it be … She didn't leave the village at all?

Hemai shuddered and sat up, believing her own judgement: If Xiu Er left the village, she would definitely attract the attention of the villagers. But no one had seen Xiu Er's figure. Perhaps, she hadn't even left the village!
