As if sensing the wariness in Li Wei's eyes, the young man in the blue gown gave a gentle smile, a smile as serene as a gentle breeze on a clear moonlit night.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm here just to take him home."
"Take him home? Are you his relative?" Li Wei relaxed. Mainly because this young man was so good-looking that he didn't seem like a bad person at first glance.
"He's been very self - conscious since he was disfigured as a child. Recently, he even became a live - in son - in - law. His family doesn't want him to ruin himself like this, so they sent me to bring him back. But his fat wife found out I was coming and ran away with him. I don't know where they've hidden."
Hearing the words "fat wife", Li Wei no longer had any doubts. He said with a troubled look on his face, "They helped us this morning. I can't lead you to break them up."
The young man in the blue gown's eyes lit up, but his face showed a sad expression. He sighed and said, "Actually, we never meant to break them up. His family just wants to stand up for him so that he won't be left helpless and bullied."
"I see. Then you should clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible. Son, take this young master to Dr. Lin's place and ask." Aunt Li, who was standing by, said.
Li Wei nodded in agreement.
Dr. Lin's house wasn't far from Li Wei's. Just as Li Wei led the young man near Dr. Lin's house, they saw two men in cloth clothes coming out of Dr. Lin's.
The two men in cloth clothes were walking straight towards them.
"That doctor is lying. He must have seen him. Why don't we force the doctor to tell us where he is?"
"No need to ask. He's so badly injured. He's probably hiding in this doctor's house. Let's go around to the back and check."
As they passed by Li Wei and the others, they glanced at them and then walked away.
Li Wei was a bit worried that something might happen to Dr. Lin. He quickened his pace and rushed into Dr. Lin's house. But he found that Dr. Lin wasn't in the front hall. Obviously, Dr. Lin had gone to the backyard.
"Aren't you going to check the back? Those two might kill Dr. Lin to cover their tracks." The young man in the blue gown stood beside Li Wei and whispered.
Li Wei's heart skipped a beat. Afraid that something might happen to Dr. Lin, he rushed to the backyard without thinking about whether it was too hasty.
As soon as he rushed into the backyard, he saw Dr. Lin coming out of the narrow path leading to the small courtyard at the back.
"Li Wei, why are you here again? Is there something new with your mother?" Dr. Lin frowned when he saw Li Wei barging into the backyard.
"My mother is fine. I'm bringing this young master here to look for Ensign A Man. He's Ensign A Man's relative." Li Wei quickly pointed at the young man in the blue gown beside him and explained.
Dr. Lin's eyelids twitched. He said, "He left this morning. This is the inner courtyard. My wife is resting. You two should come with me to the front hall to talk."
The young man in the blue gown squinted his eyes and said, "Just now, two men said they were going to check your house from the back. We were worried that something might happen, so we barged in. Please don't misunderstand, Dr. Lin."
"From the back? Oh no!" Dr. Lin turned around and ran towards the back.
The young man in the blue gown curled the corner of his mouth slightly and immediately followed Dr. Lin.
Just as Dr. Lin reached the back, he locked eyes with the man in cloth clothes who was about to jump down from the wall.
The man in cloth clothes froze. Seeing the three people coming, he immediately jumped over the wall.
"Why did you come out?" a voice asked from outside the wall.
"Hurry up and run! There are several people inside!"
There was no more sound from outside the wall.
Dr. Lin patted his chest, still feeling scared.
Suddenly, he remembered there was still one person to deal with. He turned his head and was almost scared out of his wits. He saw that the young man in the blue gown had already reached the door of the thatched cottage and was raising his hand to push the door.
"What are you doing..." His words of protest came too late.
The young man in the blue gown had already pushed the door open.
"Zhen Xiaoyu, you've made me search far and wide." The young man in the blue gown said something with an ambiguous meaning.
Dr. Lin's eyes widened. This man was actually looking for Miss Zhen the Second! Could he be a bandit?
He immediately rushed forward to stop the young man in the blue gown, but the man had already stepped into the room.
The room was so small that you could see all the furnishings at a glance as soon as you entered.
Because the room was so small, Zhen Xiaoyu had nowhere to hide.
"Who are you? Get out quickly!" a panicked voice came from inside the room.
Dr. Lin's heart sank. This was Zhen Xiaoyu's voice.
But it was too late. The man had already entered the room and seen everything clearly.
Any bandit who had been to Jingou Village must have known that there was a scar - faced man beside Zhen Xiaoyu. There were very few people with scars on their faces like A Man. You could easily identify his identity at a glance.
Miss Zhen the Second couldn't escape this time!
He wondered if it was still too late to go to the inn to call for help.
Just as he was hesitating, something unexpected happened - the young man in the blue gown actually backed out of the thatched cottage.
"Sorry, I mistook you for someone else." The young man in the blue gown politely closed the door.
"Don't think you can just barge into someone's room just because you're good - looking. My husband is much better - looking than you!" Zhen Xiaoyu's unyielding voice came from inside the room.
"Ahem, sorry to disturb you. Carry on." The young man in the blue gown took a few steps back.
Dr. Lin blinked his eyes. He looked at the thatched cottage in confusion. What on earth was going on inside?
"Dr. Lin, may I have a word with you? I'd like to ask you about my younger brother, A Man." The young man in the blue gown turned to Dr. Lin and said.
A Man was right inside... Dr. Lin was completely bewildered. He took a look at the thatched cottage and then went to the front hall with the young man in the blue gown and Li Wei.
Inside the thatched cottage at this moment.
On the shabby wooden bed.
Zhen Xiaoyu, who was curled up under the thin quilt, was sweating profusely from the heat. After hearing the people leave, she let out a long breath.
"They're gone. Aren't you going to get down?" a cold voice came from above her head.
Zhen Xiaoyu looked up and was once again visually shocked.
"A gentleman should only be seen in paintings. Only I know the secret here."
These two lines from Su Shi suddenly flashed through her mind. Only these two lines could describe her current mood.
She never imagined that just because she had a wild idea and used the beauty pill on the big villain after the system upgraded the spatial bracelet, she had created such an incredibly good - looking man that made people's noses bleed!
She raised her hand to cover her nose and quickly rolled off the man. She didn't forget to cover his body with the quilt.
Just now, in order to deal with the sudden attack of the bandit leader, she had taken off the big villain's upper clothes and lay on him wrapped in the quilt, pretending to be doing something indescribable.
Zhao Zongying sat up and frowned as he watched Zhen Xiaoyu covering her nose and mouth and rummaging around in a hurry. What did this mean? Did she despise him so much?
"What are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for a mask for you." Zhen Xiaoyu pretended to be rummaging through the package, but actually exchanged a common silver mask from the system mall with ten points of killing intent.
These words sounded particularly harsh to Zhao Zongying.
"If you're worried about being found because of me, you can just leave me behind." He said coldly.
Zhen Xiaoyu walked over with the mask and explained, "I'm not giving you the mask because I'm afraid of that. I'm afraid you'll scare Dr. Lin later."
These words were even more unpleasant! Zhao Zongying's expression turned extremely cold.
