Chapter 54: A Shocking Scandal

Bai Ruojiao turned to him, playing with the golden needles in her hand, and gave him a smile that would normally make people’s hearts flutter.

But this time, combined with her words, it only made people feel chills down their spines.

She said, “Your name is Li Fu, right? Do you know, the last one who wanted to make a move on me, he’s already enjoying himself in the pigsty. I wonder if you’re interested in pigs.”

The three of them all widened their eyes in fear and suspicion, looking at her.

“You, you, you’re saying that you’re the one who did that to Zhao Lao San?”

As fellow scoundrels, they naturally had common topics. Even though they were from different villages, it didn’t prevent them from making friends.

He had previously mocked Zhao Lao San for being so desperate that he couldn’t tell humans from pigs. He didn’t expect there to be another story behind it.

Bai Ruojiao didn’t answer him, which was tantamount to admitting it.

She turned to look at Zhao Xiaohui, who was crying uncontrollably, seemingly wanting to say something, her face full of fear and pleading.

“Zhao Xiaohui, have you forgotten how we became a family? They don’t know, but you should know my methods best. Why would you do something so stupid?”

Zhao Xiaohui was truly scared now. She couldn’t speak, so she could only plead with her eyes, her tears flowing even more fiercely.

Lin Qianqian looked at Zhao Xiaohui with disbelief, angry that she knew Bai Ruojiao had such strange abilities and didn’t tell her.

But she quickly lost interest in blaming her, because Bai Ruojiao had already walked in front of her.

She immediately glared at her hatefully, still thinking that Bai Ruojiao wouldn’t dare to do anything to them.

Bai Ruojiao naturally saw her thoughts and didn’t bother arguing with her.

She turned to look at Li Fu, who was trying to sneak out through a hole in the wall.

“You’ve already been poisoned by me. If you want to be sent to the police station by someone in the pigsty, go ahead.”

Li Fu froze when he heard this. Then, he quickly turned around and banged his head on the ground.

“Grandmother, Grandmother, I, Li Fu, have eyes but cannot see Mount Tai. I was forced by them. I have an old mother at home. Please be merciful and let me go. I promise that I will never tell anyone about today’s events.”

Bai Ruojiao sneered, “Actually, it’s very easy to cure the poison. You just need to transfer the poison to another person’s body.”

She said, looking at Lin Qianqian, who was glaring at her fiercely, “Here you go.”

Lin Qianqian’s eyes widened in disbelief. She glared at her, the hatred in her eyes almost overflowing.

Li Fu was also stunned. He turned to look at Lin Qianqian, seeming a little hesitant.

Bai Ruojiao said calmly, “The stage is set. How can the play end without being performed? The plan should go as planned. It’s just that the heroine has changed. What? Is it difficult?”

Li Fu immediately understood her meaning.

He glanced at Lin Qianqian, swallowed, “Uh, if I do it, will you let me go?”

Bai Ruojiao chuckled, watching Lin Qianqian’s eyes go from resentment to anger to fear. She said slowly, “I have no grudge against you. This is all your business. What does it have to do with me?”

Li Fu understood her words. His expression changed again. His fear and dread of her grew.

He immediately stood up, “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll do it. I’ll do it beautifully.”

He said, carefully approaching and carrying Lin Qianqian, who was full of fear, and threw her onto the pile of straw.

Bai Ruojiao looked at Zhao Xiaohui’s frightened, desperate, and pleading eyes. Her smile became even gentler, “I see that little sister seems to be very interested in this kind of thing. Why don’t you stay and watch the show? But take it easy. Don’t mess things up.”

After saying that, she walked past her and went out without looking back.

But she didn’t leave. She thoughtfully closed the door, stood outside, looked up at the sky, and thought idly whether she would be able to make dinner in time.

Sounds began to come from inside the room. She was annoyed by it, so she simply gave herself a needle, blocking her hearing first.

This set of golden needles was a beginner’s gift package from the system. It was called the “Wishful Needle.”

The set had eighteen needles, which could achieve acupuncture treatment effects according to one’s thoughts.

Unfortunately, Bai Ruojiao refused to choose the medical field, so she later used this set of needles as weapons.

As long as they were inserted into any acupoint on the human body, they could achieve the desired effect.

Of course, it could only be some basic human body reactions.

She looked at the sky, calculating the time. When the door was opened and Li Fu came out, his face full of satisfaction and flattery, she restored her hearing.

“Bai, Bai Zhiqing, it’s done.”

“Okay.” She pulled herself back from her thoughts, “Continue doing what you should do. And bring Zhao Xiaohui back.”

“Okay, okay, okay.” Li Fu responded repeatedly. He went in and carried Zhao Xiaohui, who was pale and covered in snot and tears, out.

She looked at Zhao Xiaohui, whose face was full of despair, as if she had seen a ghost, “You can start your work now. Remember, act well. Otherwise… next time, it will be you lying inside.”

She said, using a needle to release her confinement.

Gaining freedom, Zhao Xiaohui’s knees buckled, and she fell to the ground. She reached out to grab Bai Ruojiao’s leg and beg for forgiveness.

Bai Ruojiao took a step back and said calmly, “Hurry up and finish. We still have to go to the Li family. Can you bear it if An’an gets hungry?”

“I, I won’t dare anymore. I won’t dare anymore!” Zhao Xiaohui cried even more miserably.

Bai Ruojiao’s eyes narrowed. She said coldly to Li Fu, “Since she can’t handle the next part, it’s yours.”

“No, no, I can, I can, I really can!”

Zhao Xiaohui heard this and finally regained her senses. She quickly wiped her tears with her elbow and shouted.

Bai Ruojiao just said, “I’m going home first. If I hear any stories or plans that don’t match up, heh.”

She didn’t say what the consequences would be, but it made both of them flinch.

Bai Ruojiao didn’t pay any attention to them. She went into the house and released Lin Qianqian from her immobilization.

Lin Qianqian had fainted. Because she hadn’t struggled, she didn’t look as bad. It was just that she was covered in dirt, which was a bit eye-catching.

She went out, glanced at the two of them, and finally her gaze fell on Zhao Xiaohui, “What excuse will you use later? I believe you’re smart enough to fool everyone perfectly.”

The two of them watched her leave, as if they were sending away a demon.

Bai Ruojiao stayed on the back mountain for a while before slowly returning home.

After all this commotion, it was already time for the workers to get off work. She happened to meet people on the way and casually used Zhao Xiaohui’s lie to explain.

She said that Zhao Xiaohui took her to the next village and ran away. She didn’t dare to go to the Liu family to argue alone, and she was worried about her father-in-law’s injury, so she came back first. She would wait for Hai ge to come home and make plans.

Because of this, she went to the old house.

It was true that Zhao Dani stole money and ran away. Zhao Gensen’s sprained ankle wasn’t a lie either.

She went over to offer her condolences and then left, making an excuse to go home to get medicine and bring dinner.

But soon after she returned home, a shocking scandal spread through the village like wildfire.

And this scandal was related to Nanyang Village.

When they heard the news, the village head and the captain’s minds buzzed.
