"Ahem, since we have taken off our veils and shown our true faces, we are old acquaintances. Could you please stop calling me "dog official"? It affects our relationship..." Zhu Ping'an coughed and smiled innocently.
"Bah! You are shameless. Who is familiar with a little official like you? It even affects our relationship. Who has any feelings for you? You are even more shameless than before." The evil woman Ruonan spat.
"The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. This is the third time we meet, how can we not be acquaintances? Besides, I once saved your life." Zhu Ping'an curled the corner of his mouth and continued to try to get close to him.
"You really know how to flatter yourself. You know clearly whether you were saving someone's life or taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
The evil woman Ruonan gave Zhu Ping'an a cold look.
"Don't accuse a good person. I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others in distress..." Zhu Ping'an cried out in injustice.
"You still think you are a good person? Haha, you are a corrupt official who doesn't care about the lives of the people!"
The evil woman Ruonan rolled her eyes in disdain and sneered at Zhu Pingan.
"When you were recovering in my room, you called me little benefactor. Now that you are healed, you call me little official... ... Alas, people's hearts have changed recently, and the world is in decline. What can I do..."
Zhu Ping'an curled the corners of his mouth and spoke softly.
The demon girl Ruonan felt goosebumps all over her body. She knew Zhu Ping'an did it on purpose, so she rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an and interrupted him. "Young Master, you are being too sarcastic. A corrupt official like you is worth killing. Even if you are an acquaintance, I will kill you for the sake of justice. Otherwise, if you are left alive, you will be a big cancer! I don't know how many innocent people will be harmed by a corrupt official like you who has no humanity. Besides, when I left, I told you in advance that if you are lucky enough to get a position, don't do anything wrong, otherwise the knife in this girl's hand will not recognize any relatives, so you can take care of yourself. But I didn't expect that you really got a position, and I didn't expect that you would become a corrupt official who didn't care about the lives of the people! You didn't listen to my words in advance, so I can only kill my relatives for the sake of justice and get rid of you, a dog official, for the people. After all, my knife doesn't recognize any relatives."
“When I think about the fact that I had two chances to kill you, but I was careless the first time and showed mercy the second time. I didn’t kill you before you could become an ordinary official, causing hundreds of thousands of people in Jingnan to suffer at your hands, my heart is pounding like crazy to kill you. Hahahaha… I can’t do it again and again. I was careless the first time and showed mercy the second time. I will not make the same mistake the third time. I will definitely cut off your head to commemorate your short and sinful life.”
The demon woman Ruonan giggled, her foxy face smiling like a flower, but there was no warmth in her smile.
Smiling on the face, but wanting to kill you in the heart.
What kind of feelings!
That's about it.
Hua'er, who was lying on the bed with her ears propped up, felt relieved when she heard this. It turned out that this bad woman and her son-in-law had this kind of relationship. This bad woman had met her son-in-law twice, and each time she wanted to kill him. Now I feel relieved. Bah, bah, bah, why should I feel relieved? This bad woman wants to kill my son-in-law!
Hearing that this evil woman named Ruonan was not going to give in at all and was determined to kill her son-in-law, the chubby little maid Huaer became nervous, her pretty face turned pale, and her heart was in her throat.
Zhu Pingan was speechless, and said seriously, "I say it again, I am not a corrupt official. I raised the grain price for the people of Jingnan. Now there is a flood in Jiangnan, and there is a serious food shortage. The court is unable to provide relief for the time being..."
"cut!"
The demon woman Ruonan curled her lips in disdain and interrupted Zhu Ping'an. She didn't listen to Zhu Ping'an's explanation at all. She patted Zhu Ping'an's face with a dagger and said with a giggle, "Since we have known each other for a while, I will be kind enough to let you live a little longer. Don't say I didn't take care of you. Tell me, how did you recognize me? Where did I reveal my flaws?"
Zhu Ping'an curled the corner of his mouth, made a disdainful lip sound, and was too lazy to speak.
"Oh, not bad, not bad. You have become more conscious. It seems that you, a corrupt official, have realized your mistakes and are eager to turn over a new leaf. Well, I will grant your wish and send you to the west right now."
The evil woman Ruonan giggled and was about to put the dagger against Zhu Ping'an's throat. It looked like she was joking, but her hands were not joking at all. The cold dagger pressed against Zhu Ping'an's throat little by little, gradually increasing the force.
The chubby little maid Hua'er twisted her body wildly like a fish fallen on the shore, and made whimpering sounds in her throat. She should be shouting "no" and shouting for help, but because her mouth was blocked with a towel, only the whimpering sound could be heard.
Liu Dadao and his men had learned their "lesson" and were afraid of disturbing Zhu Ping'an's "good deeds", so they stayed away from the main house. Even those on duty outside consciously stayed away from the main house...
Therefore, Huaer's whining with all her might was like shouting to a deaf person. It had no effect at all. Instead, it made her face red and her neck thick. She almost rolled her eyes because of suffocation.
"Stop, I'll tell you. I'm not asking you to spare my life, but I'm asking you to give me a chance to explain why I raised the food price, okay?"
Zhu Pingan spoke tactfully.
"Oh, I'm not asking for your life, but I'm asking for a chance to explain. Hahahaha... For the sake of our acquaintance, since you've begged me so sincerely, I'll mercifully agree."
The seductive woman Ruonan blinked her eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She was very satisfied with Zhu Ping'an's understanding, and nodded in agreement.
"First, the sound of the cuckoo outside exposed us. Cuckoos are active in spring, and now it's late autumn and winter, so there wouldn't be any cuckoos. Your response with the sound of the magpie later confirmed it. This was a signal from your companions to inquire about the situation. The magpie's good news was your reply to your companions that the mission was accomplished or everything was under control." Zhu Ping'an stretched out a finger and slowly said to the demon girl Ruonan.
"The little dog official is very observant, which is quite impressive. But, so what? What does it have to do with you recognizing me?"
The masked woman made a sarcastic remark to Zhu Ping'an, and then raised doubts, thinking that this had nothing to do with recognizing her.
"Using cuckoo to ask and summon companions, I have encountered it once. Wasn't your companion summoning you in the same way during the palace examination?!" Zhu Ping'an curled the corners of his mouth and recounted the scene that happened back then.
When the demon woman Ruonan heard this, her face changed, "So you saw it at that time?! Then why did you pretend not to know?"
"People have to learn to play dumb. Sometimes knowing too much may not be a good thing." Zhu Pingan said lightly.
"Humph! You were hoping that I would leave sooner, weren't you?! And now you still have the nerve to talk about feelings with me?!"
The evil woman Ruonan sneered.
"Second, when I mistakenly thought you were a Japanese pirate, you were furious and said something that exposed your true voice. Although you quickly covered it up, I have a good memory and the voice sounded familiar to me."
Zhu Ping'an stretched out his second finger and said lightly.
"As expected of a dog official, you have a pair of dog ears... ...Anything else?" The evil woman Ruonan rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an.
"The third is laughing. Smiling, laughing, sneering, mocking, sneering, sneering, smiling, laughing angrily... People like you who laugh all the time are rare. At least you are the only one I have ever met in my life."
Zhu Ping'an then stretched out his third finger, slightly pulled the corners of his mouth, and revealed a smile.
This vixen loves to laugh so much. I remember I once complained about her, "If she loves to laugh so much, she might as well just sell her smiles."
"Humph, you're observing me so carefully, do you have any messed up ideas about me?!"
The evil woman Ruonan glared at Zhu Ping'an and snorted.
"Unfair! This is just my habit. Besides, you love to laugh so much that there is no need to observe you carefully."
Zhu Pingan shrugged.
The evil woman Ruonan glared at Zhu Pingan hard.
