"Crazy?" Xiao Yixuan only knew before that Ye Wanxing's adoptive parents had passed away one after another when she was young, and then she had been living alone in Dongli Town. He never expected that her adoptive mother was actually a crazy woman.
Ye Wanxing said, "Yes. When she went crazy, she almost threw me to my death. Father had no choice but to separate us. He locked her in the house and wouldn't let her get close to me. So I didn't see her much. Then, when I was five, she accidentally caught a cold and passed away."
"After Mother passed away, Father was in low spirits. He also passed away when I was fourteen."
Xiao Yixuan already knew all this, but he still felt something was off. However, he couldn't get anything out of Ye Wanxing, and there were no flaws to be found.
Patting her hand, Xiao Yixuan said, "It's late at night. Have a good rest. The building was burgled today. I've already ordered to strengthen the guard. I'll send two more people to guard your door. You don't need to worry about a situation like last night happening again."
After saying that, he didn't care about Ye Wanxing anymore and turned around to leave.
When the door closed, Ye Wanxing let out a soft breath and found that her back was covered in a cold sweat.
The successive incidents recently had already made Xiao Yixuan and Ye Huan lose patience with Dongli Town. She couldn't stay here any longer, and now she couldn't wait for Master Huaihai from Ling'an Temple.
So, she could only choose to take that step.
Ye Wanxing clenched her fists, her fingernails digging deeply into her flesh.
After returning to his room, Xiao Yixuan didn't go to sleep. He sat in the room, waiting for news from the guards.
The theft in the building and the loss of such an important thing made the uneasiness in his heart more and more obvious. He always felt that something big was about to happen.
The guards he sent out to track down the thief didn't return to Liuxiang Tower until almost midnight.
"Your Highness, this lowly one found Prince Ning's underpants in the east of Dongli Town."
"Your Highness, this lowly one found them in the west too."
"Your Highness, there are also some in the south..."
In front of him was a pile of the stolen underpants of Xiao Wuchen that the guards had retrieved. Xiao Yixuan's face grew more and more ugly.
Xiao Wuchen's underpants were all over every corner of Dongli Town, as if the thief had run around Dongli Town non - stop after stealing the things and thrown them while running.
Could there be more than one thief?
But if it was a gang crime, why didn't anyone in Liuxiang Tower see a single person?
Could these thieves fly through the sky and hide in the earth?!
Meng Zhao asked Xiao Yixuan what to do next. Xiao Yixuan could only say, "Guard Liuxiang Tower well. Don't let anything go wrong here again!"
...
Dongli Town quieted down after nightfall.
In the backyard of Huichuntang, after dinner, Ye Wanmian carried the medical records she and Mo Zhizhang had written respectively today and钻进 her room to ponder over them, as if she never got tired.
On the other hand, Mo Zhizhang gave Li Zhao the second acupuncture treatment to suppress the poison in his body.
Mo Zhizhang's acupuncture process was completely different from Ye Wanmian's. Every time a silver needle was inserted, it would cause an indescribable pain. By the end of the acupuncture, Li Zhao was already sweating profusely.
However, Li Zhao could clearly feel that after the last needle was inserted, his body felt a little more relaxed than yesterday.
After pulling out the needles on his body, Mo Zhizhang said gently, "Uncle Li, how do you feel today?"
Li Zhao answered truthfully, "I feel much more relaxed."
"That's good," Mo Zhizhang said. "Although Uncle Li was poisoned, fortunately, Uncle Li has a good physical foundation. If it were someone else, they might have already died."
Supported by Mo Zhizhang, Li Zhao sat up and looked at the handsome young man in a green shirt in front of him.
Even Li Zhao had to admit that Mo Zhizhang was like a beautiful jade, exuding a gentle luster.
With such good looks and bearing, could he be an ordinary wandering doctor?
Remembering what Qi Wen had mentioned inadvertently today, Li Zhao asked casually, "Did your master teach you this detoxification technique?"
The smile on Mo Zhizhang's face remained unchanged as he said, "No, I came up with it on my own, hiding it from him. When it comes to medical skills, with my senior brother setting such a high standard, I won't be able to catch up with him even if I study for another twenty years."
After all, the other person had helped him detoxify. Although he had doubts about his origin, Li Zhao didn't point it out at this time.
No matter who Mo Zhizhang was, as long as he didn't harm Ye Wanmian, Li Zhao could pretend not to know anything.
Li Zhao said, "Whether one is good at medicine or poison, as long as one can cure the sick and save the dying, it's a good thing."
Mo Zhizhang just smiled and didn't say anything more. After leaving Li Zhao's place, he was about to return to the backyard when he bumped into Xiao Jingcheng, who was lifting the curtain to enter.
Both of them stopped in their tracks.
The smile on Mo Zhizhang's face deepened. "Brother Gou Dan, it's so late. Why aren't you resting?"
Xiao Jingcheng's glazed pupils glanced at him lightly. "What? Does Dr. Mo still want to compete with me again?"
Mo Zhizhang just smiled, and there was a faint look of eagerness in his eyes.
The yard was too small. When they fought in the morning, they were restricted and didn't fight to their full satisfaction. Moreover, the fact that Xiao Jingcheng had taken a palm from him in the morning had always bothered him. He could tell that Xiao Jingcheng hadn't used his full strength, so even though he had won, he didn't feel very happy.
"Forget it. We have no grudges against each other. We should value harmony," Mo Zhizhang said softly, putting away his thoughts. "We don't want to worry our niece again. After all, we still have to continue the free medical consultation tomorrow."
Hearing him call Ye Wanmian "niece" all the time, Xiao Jingcheng sneered in his heart.
No matter what, he was closer to her than Mo Zhizhang, having once slept in the same bed with her.
Mo Zhizhang yawned. "I've been tired all day today. I'll go and rest first. I won't bother Brother Gou Dan."
Xiao Jingcheng watched him leave and then continued walking forward.
Li Zhao had just put on his clothes and tied his belt when he heard someone knocking on the door again. He got up and opened the door. "Did Dr. Mo forget something..."
It wasn't Mo Zhizhang who had returned, but Xiao Jingcheng standing outside the door.
What did Xiao Jingcheng want from him at this time?
Li Zhao was puzzled and asked, "It's so late. I wonder what important matter Your Highness has?"
Li Zhao was standing against the light, making it hard to see his expression. However, from his posture of blocking the door, Xiao Jingcheng could tell that he wasn't welcome.
Remembering that when he woke up a few days ago, he had choked Ye Wanmian's neck without hesitation, leaving marks on her neck, he felt extremely remorseful.
If Li Zhao and Ye Wanmian really had a closer relationship, it was no wonder that Li Zhao didn't like him.
Xiao Jingcheng put away his arrogant look from a few days ago and bowed respectfully to Li Zhao. "I've come here at this time because I really have something to discuss with Uncle Li."
Since he had said so, Li Zhao couldn't stop him anymore and stepped aside to let him in.
