Chapter 53
The Eighth Old Zhou saw that He Zhiran was furious and suddenly felt guilty.
At this moment, he no longer had the dignity a government official should have when facing a criminal.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean? I've made it so clear, what more do you want?" He Zhiran was really angry now. The thinking of these "ancient fossils" was really stubborn and ignorant. If she didn't take a stand, she would definitely be angered to death.
He Zhiran's loud shout immediately silenced the Eighth Old Zhou.
The Eighth Old Zhou looked to Peng Wang for help, hoping his boss could help him at this time.
Who knew, Peng Wang didn't help him either.
It was a case of outsiders see more clearly. What He Zhiran had explained so clearly, the Eighth Old Zhou was indeed latching onto a trivial issue.
"Old Zhou, He is your lifesaver. If you want to repay her kindness, tell those ill-intentioned people clearly that He did not kiss you. I was the one who really woke you up."
After saying this, Peng Wang felt that even his dead heart was revived.
However, compared to a woman's reputation, he felt this was nothing.
The Eighth Old Zhou did not object to this, and also felt that this was what he should do.
But as a man, he was worried that Mo Jiuye would dislike He Zhiran because of this. If that was really the case, wouldn't he become a sinner?
Thinking of this, the Eighth Old Zhou said solemnly to He Zhiran:
"I will find time to explain the misunderstanding to everyone. If Mo Jiuye still dislikes you because of this, I can be responsible for you..."
Without even thinking, it was clear what the Eighth Old Zhou wanted to say.
He Zhiran did not want to hear anything about being responsible or not. She just saved someone, and she had already explained it clearly that there was no physical contact between them.
Although the Eighth Old Zhou said this out of kindness, He Zhiran just didn't like hearing it.
The Eighth Old Zhou instinctively raised his hands.
"Ok ok, I won't say any more, I promise I won't say any more from now on..."
This woman was definitely a tigress reborn. He was really a little afraid of provoking her.
"It's not enough to not talk about it, don't even think about this matter from now on." He Zhiran warned domineeringly.
At this moment, she had completely forgotten that she was still an exiled prisoner.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost diffused, Peng Wang hurriedly stepped in to mediate.
"Alright, alright, I'll bear witness to this. Let's pretend it never happened.
Also, He's method of saving people is not bad. If possible, take some time to teach us carefully. In case we encounter any danger on the road, we can also save ourselves."
"No problem. Chief Peng can come to me anytime if you want to learn this life-saving technique."
With the matter resolved, He Zhiran didn't want to stay here a moment longer. She bid farewell to Peng Wang and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, several guards collapsed into the room.
If He Zhiran hadn't been in such a temper just now, she would not have failed to notice that there were people eavesdropping at the door.
Seeing these sneaky guards, He Zhiran angrily stomped on their bodies as she walked out of the room.
Peng Wang was also very helpless seeing the miserable state of his subordinates. He waved his hand.
"You guys, hurry up and get some steamed buns with white flour for the Mo family."
The guards looked at each other in dismay.
It was obvious that the boss was trying to appease He here.
Could it be just to learn that life-saving technique?
This was really the first time the guards had ever taken the initiative to appease an exiled prisoner...
Seeing that they were still in a daze, Peng Wang said impatiently, "What are you staring for, go quickly!"
As the guards were about to leave, the Eighth Old Zhou called out to them, "Also, He is my lifesaver. Her reputation cannot be ruined like this. You must make it clear to those people that He did not have any intimate contact with me."
Hearing this, Peng Wang added, "I heard this rumor was spread by Li Rou'er. Don't forget to teach her a lesson too."
"Yes, yes, we'll go right away." The guards brushed the dust off their bodies and rushed off in a streak.
Only Peng Wang and the Eighth Old Zhou were left in the room.
The Eighth Old Zhou had a bewildered expression.
"Boss, tell me, was there anything wrong with what I just said?"
Peng Wang was speechless.
This Eighth Old Zhou was usually so clever and slick, how did he get stuck on such a trivial matter today?
"Didn't we agree earlier? Don't bring up this matter again in the future."
Although the Eighth Old Zhou felt aggrieved in his heart, seeing that even Peng Wang had started reprimanding him, he could only swallow his words resentfully.
He Zhiran walked back furiously and met Li Rou'er leading several women from the Li and He families.
Li Rou'er's contempt was obvious in her eyes.
She crossed her arms to block He Zhiran's path.
"He Zhiran, after doing such a degrading thing today, you still dare to show your face. If it was another shameless woman, she would have already smashed her head to death."
He Zhiran was in a bad mood right now and was too lazy to engage in a war of words with Li Rou'er.
She raised her hand and slapped Li Rou'er hard several times, then looked at her scornfully.
"Li Rou'er, today I'm teaching you on behalf of your parents how to behave. In the future, if that dirty mouth of yours dares to speak nonsense again, watch out for your tongue."
Li Rou'er was caught off guard by several slaps. By the time she reacted, she saw that He Zhiran had already walked away.
She hurled abuse at He Zhiran's back.
"He Zhiran, you are a cheap whore, a worthless woman. Just for a little benefit, you didn't even let go of a dying official..." Ah...
She hadn't finished cursing when she let out a scream, then quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
Seeing her daughter at a disadvantage, Zhu hurried over and asked with concern, "Rou'er, what's wrong?"
Li Rou'er slowly lowered her hand, revealing a bloody tooth in her palm.
Zhu was timid in front of the guards, but in front of He Zhiran she was like a different person.
"He, you are simply lawless, actually daring to attack people in front of so many!"
In fact, He Zhiran was really wronged. She had walked so far away, how could she have hit Li Rou'er?
At this moment, she was truly infuriated by these scum from the Li family.
He Zhiran strode back to stand in front of Li Rou'er.
She didn't even bother using her hands, just lifted her leg and kicked Li Rou'er flying.
"Who do you think you are?
Don't think I don't know about your disgraceful affairs with Li Hu.
But ah, I really can't understand, Li Hu has already been sent to the government, who gave you the courage to still strut arrogantly here?"
"He, shut your mouth!" Hearing her own daughter being slandered like this, Zhu pounced at He Zhiran, clawing at her.
Of course He Zhiran would not let a powerless woman injure her.
She didn't even dodge, just lifted her foot and kicked Zhu in the lower abdomen.
Zhu yelped in pain, clutching her stomach as she sat on the ground crying.
"Officials... Hurry and see... He is simply lawless!"
The women of the Mo, Fang and Xie families were in the backyard preparing dinner with the ingredients He Zhiran had bought back today. Hearing He Zhiran's name being cursed, they put down what they were doing and rushed over quickly.
"Little sister, who is cursing you? Watch your second sister-in-law deal with them."
As she spoke, the second sister-in-law raised the ladle in her hand to stand protectively in front of He Zhiran.
The other sisters-in-law also stared fiercely at the few women across from He Zhiran.
Mo Hanyue quickly ran to He Zhiran's side.
"Sister-in-law, Hanyue will beat up the bad guys for you."
Although Old Lady Mo didn't say anything, the cleaver in her hand already said it all.
The Xie and Fang family members were also glaring fiercely at the group Li Rou'er had brought, just waiting for the Mo family's order to take action...
He Zhiran's angrily beating heart instantly felt warmth.
"I didn't suffer any losses." To keep her family from worrying, He Zhiran told the truth.
At this time, the guards who had been ordered to bring steamed buns to the Mo family arrived.
Without a doubt, no matter who was right or wrong in this matter, it was definitely the Li and He families who were at fault.
Their boss had also told them to fix up Li Rou'er, so they could just take care of it all together.
He Zhiran was someone even the boss had to cover for. How dare they offend her?
Without hesitation, two guards raised their whips and started beating. The screams of the Li and He families' women pleading for mercy filled the air.
