Dong Huiying wondered if, after living in this world for so long, her heart had become much harder.
She had once considered it her duty to heal the world through medicine, and she spent most of her time saving people. However, since arriving in this world, her hands had become stained with much blood.
She looked at Liang Shujun, as if seeking her opinion on how to deal with Brother Liubao. Ultimately, it depended on Shujun’s decision, since he was an acquaintance of hers and had treated her well in the past.
Shujun pondered for a moment before rising and walking toward Brother Liubao.
He hadn’t finished speaking when he saw Brother Liubao nodding like pounding garlic, "I understand, I get it, this is the safest way! You treat me like a brother, a friend, but to be honest, even I don’t trust myself sometimes. What if I can’t keep my mouth shut? If I let this slip, it would be bad for you! So, better I forget it! Saves me the constant fear and trembling!"
Shujun’s mouth twitched slightly.
He understood that this was Brother Liubao being considerate.
Though it was difficult to do, he was not willing to risk his wife’s safety.
Such methods were too horrifying, too bizarre, and too incredible.
He had to ensure his wife’s safety!
The more people knew of certain matters, the greater the danger. Conversely, the fewer people knew, the safer it was.
"Brother Liubao, I’m sorry..."
Shujun turned his face away in shame. Brother Liubao closed his eyes resolutely, clenched his fists tightly, but still remembered to roar, "Lady Xiao Dong! For you, Brother Bao has really sacrificed too much! Can you sell me more of those fragrant balms and ointments? I’m almost out of the stock you left behind!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
This man was really a clever monkey, even in such a time, he did not forget to seek his own benefit.
Inside the Sky Blue Building, Brother Liubao sitting on the chair suddenly opened his eyes. He looked around groggily, "Eh? What happened to me? Why am I here? Oh, right!!"
Brother Liubao suddenly stood up, his face pale as he looked at Liang Shujun, "My ancestors, do you have any idea how dangerous Pei Yu is? We should hide quickly!"
Shujun and Lady Dong glanced at each other, barely holding back their laughter. Even Hong Fei’s eyes twitched fiercely.
"He is already dead."
Brother Liubao looked completely confused, his entire demeanor stupefied. "What? When did this happen? How come I know nothing about it?"
Hong Fei was speechless.
The news of Pei Yu’s death in the street had spread throughout Taihang Town.
Everyone said it was immensely satisfying.
But inside He Mansion, those ladies from The Outside left behind were a bit panicked.
They were originally from The Outside, but Nu Woer had sent them to protect Pei Yu, and they had come to Taihang Town with him.
If loyalty was the question, they were loyal to Nu Woer, not Pei Yu.
Now that Pei Yu was dead, they feared they couldn’t explain themselves to Nu Woer. Some of the more resourceful packed their bags, ready to flee.
Others, stubborn as ever, paced like ants on a hot pan; while some, fueled by a sense of vengeance, decided to avenge Pei Yu!
