Chapter 41 Driven Out of the Village

Yu Jinzhen snorted. "You'd better not have. Otherwise, I'll go tell the village head. Denying the girls in the family water is just like premeditated murder, and murder is a capital offense. You all better think carefully about that."

Mrs. Zhu asked in panic, "Murder? Is it really that serious?"

Yu Jinzhen replied, "Of course. If you don't believe me, go ask the village head. If you become murderers, I certainly won't sell water to you."

With that, she turned and left.

"We share one handle with two brush heads; the one with the light blue decorative ring is mine, and the dark blue one is his," Lewis said, while silently marveling at Zong Ming's meticulous control over details—last night, Zong Ming had thrown away his toothbrush and given him one of his own spare heads to use, claiming it would look more authentic.

"Thank you, Manager Su." He Yu bowed slightly to Su Yu, left Su Yu's office, and went off to find Zhuang Yi and Ye Jun.

Sang Han opened his phone and, sure enough, found that the Wi-Fi had no signal. He called out to the retreating figure, "Just reboot the main power supply, it should be..." Mid-sentence, he suddenly felt something was amiss—why was even the cellular network signal cut off?

Tang Yi remained completely oblivious, walking with his head down toward the subway platform. A glimmer of crafty delight surfaced in the man's turbid eyes. He shoved the stolen phone into his sleeve and turned to leave, only to crash hard into a solid chest.

I tried to coax Xinran into a good mood, but she didn't seem to pay much attention to me, still looking at me with that terrifying gaze.

"Something happened at the school, so we need Elder Brother Chu's help, but will this cause any trouble for you?" Murong Xue asked.

"The Heart-Devouring Soul-奪命 Powder? Are you the Toxic Maniac Qin Wujie?" Lin Tianya asked, staring at the black-robed figure opposite him with extreme horror.

"I..." Hearing Li Xiangjun's voice, Lin Tianya's willpower instantly collapsed, and the hand gripping Li Xiangjun's wrist subconsciously relaxed.

Yue Tong spoke with an expression of absolute trust, finally fixing her gaze upon the visibly conflicted Feng Yuanbin.

After listening in silence for a long moment, Yue Tong drew a deep breath and nodded fiercely, as if regaining her courage and strength.

He sighed with lingering emotion: Being an emperor, there were simply too many temptations, and he had yet to learn what true love meant, which was why it ultimately led to such a huge tragedy.

"I'm fine!" Mei Yinxue shook her head, yet the strange, lingering feeling deep within her heart refused to fade away.

After gauging his wound with a glance, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve and applied all the herbal hemostatics she was carrying directly to his injury.

Liu Fan's expression, however, changed slightly, for he had already deduced why his great-grandfather would act in such a manner.

Xuanyue felt somewhat puzzled; the dispute seemed rather bizarre, but it had nothing to do with her. She only needed to acknowledge herself as Ye Caicheng's fiancée.

It has nothing to do with wealth, reputation, status, or identity... No matter how destitute you may be, there will always be someone willing to step forward for you.

Without so much as a glance at the others, the gray-robed man hoisted Mei Yinxue onto his shoulder and strode into Yushui City.

"Yay!" Hearing that they were going to make clothes for Xueqiu, Niannian's eyes lit up instantly, and she completely forgot about going to the amusement park.

With just a few steps left, she couldn't help calling out to him in advance, taking out the items from her basket one by one and placing them beside Elder Dong. She ran over herself and took out her handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his brow.

Zhu Si led his men and began searching the city for the whereabouts of Zhu Yi and the others. From time to time, Zhu Si blew a loud whistle—this was the signal used by the Secret Service to call for companions. Even if Xia Qing didn't understand it, Zhu Yi and Zhu Er would definitely respond with a return signal.

"Good grief, still talking tough, you absolute moron. Even in a state like this, you still think I'm on Earth?" Uchiha Qi uttered a soul-deep retort.

The two of them thus made their stance clear. They were loyal to Shen Zhiming; while they wouldn't dare actively help her harm the imperial heirs, if any pregnant concubine attempted to harm her, they would obey her commands and launch a counterattack.
