Women in ancient times are so scary – chapter 37

“Boss, what did you just say? Can you repeat it?” Li Gaosheng had calmed down a bit, not as agitated as before. However, he was afraid he had misheard, so he asked Meng Xiaoyu again.

“Uh! I said, I might have a way to help your magistrate father clear up this case.” Meng Xiaoyu spoke softly, looking at Li Gaosheng’s eager face.

“Really? Boss, what’s the plan? Tell me quickly so I can inform my father!” Hearing Meng Xiaoyu repeat her words clearly, Li Gaosheng got excited again and reached out to grab Meng Xiaoyu’s hand.

Noticing Li Gaosheng reaching for Meng Xiaoyu’s hand again, Han Rushuang quickly wrapped her arm around Meng Xiaoyu’s waist and dodged, avoiding Li Gaosheng’s grasp. She then coldly said, “Young Master Li, men and women should maintain proper distance. Please show some respect.”

Hearing Han Rushuang’s icy tone, which could freeze a polar bear, Meng Xiaoyu shivered involuntarily. She glared at Li Gaosheng fiercely, cursing him in her heart, “You idiot! Are you trying to get us both killed? Haven’t you noticed the temperature around here has dropped to below freezing? Haven’t you noticed everyone around us has moved far away? And yet, you still try to grab my hand? Can’t you see the two goddesses beside me are already fuming?”

Thinking this, Meng Xiaoyu glanced at the Han sisters. Seeing Han Rushuang’s frosty face and Han Rubing’s inscrutable smile, Meng Xiaoyu felt like crying. She wanted to shout at the Han sisters, “What are those expressions for? It’s Li Gaosheng grabbing my hand, not the other way around! I’m innocent!”

But she didn’t dare. So, she just leaned against Han Rubing, occasionally glaring at Li Gaosheng.

“Boss, what’s the plan? Tell me quickly!” Li Gaosheng was getting anxious.

Seeing Li Gaosheng’s anxious look, Meng Xiaoyu glared at him again, thinking, “Serves you right for dragging me into this mess. I won’t tell you, let’s see how anxious you get.” With that thought, she smiled a vengeful smile.

Seeing Meng Xiaoyu’s bright smile directed at Li Gaosheng, Han Rushuang’s lips tightened, and her crescent-shaped eyebrows furrowed. Her right hand, which was around Meng Xiaoyu’s waist, tightened.

Han Rubing, seeing Meng Xiaoyu’s smile, also felt the temperature drop instantly, but her smile deepened.

“Boss, I beg you. Please tell me your plan!” Li Gaosheng was almost desperate.

Seeing Li Gaosheng jumping in anxiety, Meng Xiaoyu finally moved Han Rushuang’s hand from her waist and slowly walked to Li Gaosheng. She whispered something in his ear, and Li Gaosheng’s anxious expression turned into a big smile.

“Boss, you’re amazing! What a brilliant idea!” Li Gaosheng looked at Meng Xiaoyu with admiration after hearing her plan.

“Hehe, just so you know, I’m not sure if it will work. Don’t blame me if it doesn’t!” Meng Xiaoyu said, feeling a bit embarrassed by Li Gaosheng’s admiring gaze.

“It will work, Boss. I’ll go tell my father right away. You stay here and watch!” With that, Li Gaosheng ran off.

“Yu’er, shall we go back to the inn?” After Li Gaosheng left, Han Rushuang gently hugged Meng Xiaoyu and asked softly.

“Huh? Aren’t we going to watch? We haven’t found out who the culprit is yet!” Meng Xiaoyu said, surprised.

“No, let’s go back to the inn,” Han Rubing said this time.

“Alright then.” Although Meng Xiaoyu wanted to stay and see if her plan would help Li Gaosheng’s father solve the case, she agreed after seeing Han Rubing’s determined look. She followed the Han sisters, looking back every few steps.

This world is full of unexpected events, some are fate, and some are man-made.

As Han Rubing walked ahead with a cold face, and Han Rushuang followed with a similarly cold expression, lost in thought, Meng Xiaoyu, who was walking last and looking back frequently, met with an unfortunate accident.

“Bang!”

“Ouch!”

“Sorry, sorry.”

At this moment, Meng Xiaoyu was lying miserably on the ground, with a ragged little beggar sprawled on top of her. The “bang” was the sound of their collision, and the “ouch” was Meng Xiaoyu’s cry of pain as she fell. The repeated apologies were clearly from the little beggar who had knocked her down and was now “accidentally” pressing on her.

“Little one, are you okay?” Han Rubing, who had been walking ahead lost in thought, immediately turned around and quickly walked to Meng Xiaoyu’s side upon hearing her voice. She pulled the little beggar, who was still apologizing non-stop, off Meng Xiaoyu and helped her up, asking with concern.

“I’m fine,” Meng Xiaoyu said as she was helped up by the Han Rubing sisters, rubbing the back of her head where she had hit it. She then turned to look at the little beggar who had knocked her down.

After staring at the indistinct figure of the beggar for a while, Meng Xiaoyu asked, “Are you okay?” In fact, what she initially wanted to ask was, “Are you blind? There’s so much space around, why did you have to bump into me?”

But seeing the little beggar standing there trembling and speechless, Meng Xiaoyu swallowed her words of reproach and instead uttered a sentence that made her feel very frustrated. She was the one who got knocked down, so why did she have to turn around and show concern for the person who bumped into her?

“Uh, I’m fine,” the little beggar, whose face was unclear, said quickly before running off as if being chased by a wolfdog.

Watching the little beggar run away so quickly, Meng Xiaoyu’s forehead was covered in black lines. She couldn’t help but grumble in her heart, “Am I that scary? And I didn’t even ask you to compensate me for knocking me down. Do you have to run faster than a rabbit?”

After her internal complaints, Meng Xiaoyu said to the Han Rubing sisters, “Sister Rubing, Sister Rushuang, let’s go back to the inn.”

“Okay,” Han Rushuang responded, half-hugging Meng Xiaoyu’s waist and letting her lean against her as they walked towards the inn.

Han Rubing, on the other hand, thoughtfully glanced in the direction where the little beggar had disappeared, then turned and followed Han Rushuang and Meng Xiaoyu towards the inn.

The little beggar, hiding in the crowd at the entrance of the magistrate’s office, only slowly squeezed out of the crowd after seeing the three of them disappear.

She stared blankly in the direction they had gone, then reached into her bosom and took out a transparent crystal fox-shaped pendant strung with a red cord.

The back of the pendant had the character “Yu” engraved in regular script. After gazing at the crystal fox pendant for a while, the little beggar’s lips curled into a bright smile.

However, when she tried to put the pendant around her neck, she realized belatedly that the red cord was broken, and she had cut it herself just now.

Thinking of this, the little beggar smiled and put the crystal fox pendant back into her bosom, then used her Light Skill to disappear in a few leaps.
