Chapter 452 It Won't Come Again
Chapter 452 Never Again
Wen Luozhi raised the small bow she had just taken out, drew an arrow, and aimed it at He Lingfei's thigh.
With a "whoosh," the arrow pierced through He Lingfei's thigh, its tip firmly planted in the ground, the color of its fletching appearing even more vibrant than when it was first obtained.
Wen Luozhi's pupils widened slightly. She hadn't used much force just now, but she hadn't expected the bow to be so powerful.
And that arrow, it actually pierced the ground?
She calmly put away her bow and arrows, while He Lingfei, clutching her bleeding thigh, leaned against the wall in pain, using a stick to support her body.
"You shameless woman! You actually resorted to dirty tricks!"
He Lingfei cursed angrily, her eyes so red they seemed to be spitting fire.
Wen Luozhi didn't understand where her hatred for her came from; it was just because she had slapped this person last time.
If He Lingfei hadn't struck first, the slap wouldn't have landed on her.
She walked over and looked He Lingfei up and down, finally letting out a soft sigh.
"No breasts, no butt, no shame, even her mouth is foul, and her mind is so vicious."
"I feel like my brother is dirty because you took advantage of him."
Wen Luozhi took a step back and looked at the two wolfhounds on the ground.
My belly is still moving up and down, so it should be nothing serious.
He Lingfei was rendered utterly worthless by her words, and despite the pain, she swung the stick in her hand again, but Wen Luozhi caught it and snatched it away.
She pulled hard and He Lingfei lost her balance and fell to the ground. When she tried to get up, the stick was already in front of her.
"Which hand did Miss He use to knock on the gate? I'm guessing it was this one."
Wen Luozhi raised the stick and struck He Lingfei's right wrist with a force that was neither too light nor too heavy, eliciting a pig-like scream, "Ah!"
He Lingfei didn't know if it was her leg or her wrist that hurt. Her right hand was trembling and she couldn't lift it, so she could only raise her left hand to cover her leg.
Wen Luozhi sneered and didn't feel sorry for her at all. Wasn't her mother the most pitiful one?
According to Wu Yazi, when he brought the silver, he looked several years older, and his straight back had become hunched.
As a result, He Lingfei still came out looking as annoying as ever.
She threw a silver ingot in front of He Lingfei and said, "Who can't see through your little scheme?"
"It's a pity, our family is just an ordinary farming family."
Even so, what we want is an innocent girl.
She pointed to the silver ingot and said, "Consider this payment for the medicine. Don't come again; I can't keep my mouth shut."
After Wen Luozhi finished speaking, she dragged a wolfhound through the gate with one hand. The sound of the gate closing brought He Lingfei back to her senses.
How did that bitch know?!
A flicker of panic crossed her eyes. No one else had seen Li Meng and his brother that night…
He Lingfei endured the pain and quickly got up from the ground. She stuffed the silver into her pocket, leaned on the stick, and limped away.
Wen Luozhi gave the two wolfhounds some antidote, and they woke up soon after. They excitedly jumped around her, as if they knew that this person had saved them.
Wu Yazi asked about what was happening outside, and Wen Luozhi only told him and Wen Zijin that He Lingfei probably wouldn't dare to come again from now on.
It's something that concerns one's innocence, so this person probably wouldn't take it lightly.
She learned about this from Bai Qinghuan, who was walking behind Xie He when Xie He came to the city to visit the estate last time.
The Li brothers, who were initially hired to do the work, not only didn't get the money they were asked to do, but were also punished and had to pay back the money.
The two of them must have been angry and then found an opportunity to lure He Lingfei out.
Bai Qinghuan and Bai Qingyu bumped into each other after having dinner outside, but it was too late.
Just as Li Meng raised a stone to kill the struggling He Lingfei, Bai Qinghuan called for someone hiding in the shadows to stop him; otherwise, He Lingfei would have lost everything.
"It's good that they're not coming. I don't know where else to move if we have to," Wu Yazi sighed.
Moving takes a lot of time, so why not use that time to read a book?
The next day, when Wen Luozhi saw Bai Qinghuan, she knew who had given Wen Zijin that sachet.
Look, the sachet on this girl's waist is the same style as my fifth brother's.
Her eyes darted around, and feigning surprise, she pointed to Bai Qinghuan's sachet and said, "My fifth brother has one just like it too, what a coincidence!"
Bai Qinghuan blushed and awkwardly tried to cover the sachet, but that seemed a bit off, as if she was trying to hide something.
Wen Luozhi noticed her embarrassment and nervousness, chuckled, and simply said, "Qinghuan, could you make one for me when you have time?"
Bai Qinghuan now knew she was teasing her, but she still nodded and smiled, saying, "You little rascal, I'll give it to you next time we meet."
Xia Chan, standing nearby, covered her mouth and chuckled. She thought to herself, "My young lady and the fifth young master of the Wen family are destined to be together!"
After resting for two days, Wen Luozhi embarked on her journey home. Before she left, Wen Zijin repeatedly warned her not to do anything so impulsive again.
Upon arriving in Shanquan Town, she went straight to the small house where Jiang Shuqian lived.
Jiang Shuqian, who was taking a walk in the courtyard, saw that her eyes were red.
"You brat, why did you just run away like that? I was terrified when Dad and my older brother told me!"
She gripped Wen Luozhi's wrist tightly, wanting to say something blaming but unable to bring herself to do it.
Wen Luozhi knew that she had indeed gone too far this time, so she hugged her sister-in-law, comforting her and apologizing.
When she looked up, she saw Xie He standing at the entrance of the main hall.
However, Xie He didn't come over. He saw her expression was indifferent, and then turned around and went back into the house.
Wen Luozhi's heart skipped a beat, and she helped Jiang Shuqian into the house first.
"This time, Mother is truly angry and heartbroken, you..."
Jiang Shuqian smiled wryly and said, "You can decide for yourself." After saying that, she went into the house.
Wen Luozhi stood there, scratching her head and face.
What should I do? How can I comfort her?
She walked to the door of Xie He's room, took a deep breath, and mustered her courage to knock on the door.
"Mom, I'm back! I missed you so much!" she called out from the doorway, her voice filled with grievance.
There was no sound from inside the house. She knocked on the door again and called out, but still there was no response.
She pursed her lips and simply sat down by the door, which was expected anyway.
Xie He thought she had left when she saw that she was not at the door. Just as she was about to scold her for not showing any remorse, she heard someone muttering outside the door.
"I saw Sixth Brother! He's alright and even more powerful than before! He even gave me a trophy he got from killing an enemy, hehe."
"I also saw Fourth Brother; Master Xia went with him."
"The four of them even sparred with Sixth Brother. They're all so amazing, I..."
Xie He listened intently inside, and couldn't help but worry, thinking that she was probably squatting or sitting by the door.
"I'm sleeping. Don't make a racket in front of my door, go back to your room and rest."
She said loudly, and Wen Luozhi outside the door heard her energetic voice; she didn't sound like she was sleeping at all.
However, she didn't expose her, and stood up happily outside the door, replying, "Then, Mom, let's go home together tomorrow morning. I'll come find you again in a little while."
She hummed a little tune and ran off, and Xie He, listening from inside the house, couldn't help but smile.
What to do? I'm not angry anymore, but I have to keep pretending.
