Chapter 83 - 83: An Arm Was Broken Last Night
The next day.
Liu Shimei went to Zhong Lang’s place and left the medicine before going to work at the Zheng Medical Hall.
After yesterday’s incident, the shop assistants in the medical hall could not help but take a few more glances at her, but they all kept their mouths shut.
Zhang Two and Zhao Four were both troublemakers caused by their big mouths. That young girl attacked a man with the things in her hand. This was extremely valiant!
They could not afford to offend her!
However, after Liu Shimei left, they started discussing again.
She entered Du Gong’s treatment room to report. Because it was still early, Du Gong had not come yet. Jin Xi and Jin Tao were there. The two of them were cleaning the treatment room. When they saw her come in, they did not throw a rag or feather duster to her as usual.
More or less, they were still a little afraid of what had happened yesterday.
Liu Shimei did not mind and went to find work.
She did not want to speak, but Jin Tao could not hold it in and said, “Zhi Liu, you are really vicious!”
Liu Shimei looked at her in confusion, not understanding where these words came from. Yesterday’s incident, there was no need to use the word ‘vicious’, right?
She pursed her lips and said, “Yesterday, I beat up Zhang Two. Although I’m the one taking the blame, I also helped you vent your anger, right? He spoke ill about you too!”
Thinking of her own matter, Jin Tao choked and said, “Don’t you know what you’ve done?”
“What did I do?” Liu Shimei recalled that when she came in from outside, those people seemed to be talking about something. However, when they saw her coming over, they all shut their mouths tightly.
She originally thought that it was because she had transformed into a violent demon yesterday and subdued them.
Looking at it now, could it be that it was not?
“Someone chopped off Zhang Two’s arm last night. Didn’t you do it?” Jin Tao explained.
This news was really out of Liu Shimei’s expectations!
“What did you say?” Liu Shimei was shocked.
“You’re still pretending!” Jin Tao snorted.
She did not want to talk to Liu Shimei anymore, but Jin Xi said, “Zhi Liu, isn’t it bad for a lady to be so vicious?”
Liu Shimei wanted to deny it, “I didn’t…”
However, when she met Jin Xi and Jin Tao’s eyes, she knew that no matter what she said, they would not believe her.
Zhang Two had always been living well. Recently, he had a conflict with her. After being kicked out of the Zheng Medical Hall, he went straight back to his own home. That night, he had one of his arms chopped off!
If it was not Liu Shimei, who else could it be?
Even though this matter was suspicious, it was unrealistic for a weak woman like her to barge into a man’s house and chop off his arm.
However, how should he explain this?
It was the government’s responsibility to find evidence to convict her. The common people only needed to open their mouths to increase their conversation.
People were more willing to believe that she was the one who did it. It was better than not knowing who the real culprit was!
Not long after, Du Gong arrived. The Zheng Medical Hall also started to receive patients. Liu Shimei did not think too much about it and was busy for the whole day.
After work, she returned to the Liang family. Due to her doubts, she did not return to her own courtyard and went straight to Liang Yi’s place.
Liang Yi was also shocked when he heard this. “What did you say? You fought with someone yesterday! So the wound on your face was caused by someone? Why didn’t you tell me yesterday?!”
Liu Shimei,
Why was she so stupid?
She had been working in the Zheng Medical Hall without anyone knowing, and only Liang Yi knew about it. Her brain went blank, and she actually thought that no one else would help her stand up for her except Liang Yi!
Today’s incident was too puzzling, so Liu Shimei forgot to cover up the wound on her cheek this time!
It was like walking into a trap voluntarily!
