Chapter 57: Your Excuses Are OK
Chapter 57
Mo Jiuye was not without thoughts of these things, but he cherished the friendship between Nan Qi very much.
Just because of this, he instinctively wanted to ignore these negative reasons.
Now, as He Zhiran carefully told them out, Mo Jiuye had to face reality again.
"I have suspected that the one who instructed Old Mrs. Liu to poison the well was Eldest Prince Nanheng. From this matter, the suspicion of Nan Qi cannot be ruled out either.
Although I still can't think of his real reason for doing this for the time being, we still have to be very vigilant in the future.
If you do too many things, sooner or later you will reveal your tricks."
Although the two talked so much, they still couldn't figure out Nan Qi's original intention.
However, they were both aware that there was one more person to guard against in the future.
Unknowingly, the sky outside was already bright. Although both of them had not slept all night, they could not sleep at this time.
Mo Jiuye was still better off. In the eyes of outsiders, he had serious injuries and could take a nap lying on the cart.
On the contrary, He Zhiran would probably have to spend the whole day on the road tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Mo Jiuye finally began to look carefully at He Zhiran, intending to show some concern.
As a result, he was surprised to find that He Zhiran's clothes, which were covered in dust, were now very tidy, although they were still patches upon patches.
And her slightly oily hair had also become shiny and faintly exuded a light fragrance.
Seeing Mo Jiuye staring at her, He Zhiran thought there was something wrong with her.
Her hands instinctively touched her face, and then asked.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"
Because she had been worried about Mo Jiuye, who had not returned for a long time, she ignored the fact that she had taken a bath in the space.
"Did you wash your clothes?"
Mo Jiuye still wanted to ask, did you take a bath?
However, with his modest character, he always felt embarrassed to ask a woman if she had bathed.
Asked like this, He Zhiran only noticed her own changes.
She had indeed been careless just now, thinking only that washing herself clean would be more comfortable, but ignoring that people would question this.
"You went out to do something, I couldn't sleep, so I just washed up simply."
Although the reason was a bit far-fetched, this was all He Zhiran could say.
This time Mo Jiuye did not intend to let her off.
After thinking about it, He Zhiran decided to make a little use of Peng Wang.
She went up to Peng Wang and first pretended to gossip and asked, "Master Peng, how could He Liang suddenly die?"
Peng Wang didn't seem to have any doubts about He Liang's death. After all, he saw that his injuries were serious yesterday.
"He must have died from his heavy injuries!"
He Zhiran shook her head regretfully, "It's really a pity that he died so young."
After a pause, seeing that Peng Wang had no reaction, she continued, "Master Peng, I'm soft-hearted. Why don't we help check He Ming's injuries before we set off?"
Peng Wang was not simple-minded either. Hearing He Zhiran's words, he guessed that she must have some purpose in voluntarily going to help He Ming with his injuries.
However, he was still very polite and did not expose it.
"If you are willing to help He Ming with his injuries, it would be a good thing, saving us from having another burden on the road ahead."
With that said, Peng Wang took He Zhiran to He Ming.
The He family became vigilant when they saw He Zhiran come over.
Many people in the He family had seen with their own eyes her ruthless beating of Li Rou'er yesterday.
If it wasn't for the lingering fear in their hearts, they would have scolded her long ago.
Peng Wang ignored the He family's expressions.
"I finally persuaded the lady He to help He Ming, so we don't have another death in our exiled team."
Although his words were unpleasant to hear, this was also what the He family feared most.
Now that He Zhiran was willing to help He Ming with his injuries, they couldn't ask for more.
Everyone tacitly made way to give He Zhiran space to treat He Ming.
In fact, He Zhiran had already seen He Ming's wounds from afar yesterday, and was already aware of his condition.
However, to hide from people's eyes and ears, He Zhiran still pretended to roll up He Ming's sleeves.
The wound was suddenly exposed to air, and He Ming's arm instinctively shrank back.
The He family stared at her closely, waiting for the result.
He Zhiran did not immediately announce the results, but asked the He family,
"Were He Liang's wounds the same as his?"
He Zhiyuan thought her question was related to treating He Ming, and answered without thinking.
"I personally used clear water to treat their wounds yesterday, and they looked exactly the same."
