Chapter 224 - 224: If I Knock Out Your Front Teeth, You Won’t Say Anything
“All?” Huangfu Lingyao’s expression at this moment was even more like a husky with drooping ears!
Liu Shimei said angrily, “I’m angry at those lousy children. Who raised them without any manners?! Whether others were stupid or not is none of their business. These children’s broken mouths are full of nonsense! If I see them beating people up, I’ll break their legs!”
She was very angry and her tone was very heavy. She even blurted out vulgarities.
Huangfu Lingyao was stunned.
Zhong Lang, who was following behind, was also stunned.
He also understood that Liu Shimei was probably convinced by Silly Second Prince!
However, he also thought to himself, ‘It would be hard to explain if such a foolish Second Prince wasn’t really stupid!’
This matter ended with Liu Shimei bringing Huangfu Lingyao back to Qiyang to apply medicine and had dinner together. Zhong Lang then sent Huangfu Lingyao and Liu Shimei back to their respective residences.
That night, in Dun Yu’s Residence.
There was no moon in the sky and no light in the room. Huangfu Lingyao sat on his bed in his bedroom with a black shadow standing in front of him.
“This subordinate has already asked clearly, Xu Xian did not do anything to Eldest Miss Liu that he should not have done.”
“This morning, Xu Xian had an argument with Du Gong’s apprentice, Jin Tao, outside Du Gong’s consultation room. It was said that Jin Tao had said bad things about Eldest Miss Liu behind her back. Because it was unpleasant, Xu Xian defended Eldest Miss Liu and was slapped hard by Jin Tao.”
Hearing this, Huangfu Lingyao suddenly said, “What did that sl*t say?”
The black shadow replied, “It’s probably because Miss Liu has not been working for days, but Du Gong has been covering for her.”
“Tell me what he actually said!”
These words seemed to be squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth. The black shadow was stunned and said, “This subordinate has also heard rumors. It is said that Jin Tao said… That little sl*t, Zhi Liu, might have already climbed into someone’s bed and can’t get off. That’s why she can’t come to work…”
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became.
That was because the man sitting cross-legged on the bed had a gloomy aura, and the pressure he exude was like a mountain was pressing down on him!
But in the end, Huangfu Lingyao suppressed his temper and asked, “And after that? What did she encounter there?”
The black shadow replied, “The errand boy of the Zheng Medical Hall said that he saw Miss Zhi Liu enter the courtyard of Doctor Du’s consultation room and ran out not long after. Before he saw her run out, he heard a scream. He could only ask about this. He did not know what had happened at that time.”
“It’s broad daylight, and there’s no one in the courtyard of Du Gong’s clinic?” Huangfu Lingyao looked suspicious.
The black shadow replied, “It’s said that Du Gong wasn’t feeling well at that time, so he temporarily didn’t receive patients.” The handymen were also sent away by Jin Xi.
“In other words…” Huangfu Lingyao continued, “You couldn’t find out what happened to her?”
The black shadow replied, “The people outside don’t know the situation, so we can only ask the person involved!”
Huangfu Lingyao fell silent.
After a moment, he said, “That cheap sl*t with a cheap mouth. Knock her front teeth out. She won’t talk much after that. We’ll investigate the other matters later.”
“Yes, sir!” The black shadow replied.
Huangfu Lingyao added, “Just teach her a lesson. Leave that tongue for now. It might be useful in the future.”
The black shadow accepted the order and flew out of the half-opened window, disappearing in an instant.
It was so quiet in the bedroom that one could even hear a pin drop.
Only then did Huangfu Lingyao lie down. He held the sachet sewn by Liu Shimei in his palm and played with it.
His thumb kept rubbing the words embroidered on it. The corners of his lips curled up as he muttered, “It’s not even April yet.. Isn’t the Mid-Autumn Festival too long away? I’ve been waiting anxiously!”
