"These... are all given to Yao'er by Zhaoxiang?" Xining picked up some herbs and rubbed them carefully with his fingertips. Then, he put the things under his nose and smelled them. There was no trace of medicinal smell. He threw the leaves into the wooden box with disgust and looked at the doctor standing below.
The doctor replied, “Indeed.”
Xining sneered and leaned back in his chair. Several images flashed through his mind. That was when Shan Bo first came to see him...
"City Lord, the guys in the attic are bullying the young master. I guess the person behind them is Zhao Xiang, who has been embezzling the money from the attic."
"I know I have no evidence, but think about it, City Lord. Zhao Xiang is the brother of the deputy city lord. The deputy city lord has two sons. He is not favored, but he has a lot of gold and silver jewelry. His clothes are better than the deputy city lord..."
What Uncle Shan said was so true that he almost believed it at that time. Later, he confronted Yao'er, Zhaoxiang and the brother in the attic, and found out that Yao'er was intentionally protecting Zhaoxiang... He did not pursue the matter.
I had always thought that Zhao Xiang had so much money because Yao Er treated him as a friend and gave him money from the attic...
But Shan Bo came to him to borrow a doctor a few days ago, and what he said at that time was...
"City Lord, there is a problem with the attic's accounts. The young master was looking for the attic's account book and sorting out the attic's internal affairs when Zhao Xiang suddenly rushed in and killed all the servants in the attic. The scene was too bloody and the young master was frightened. He would like to borrow your doctor."
Yaoer is checking the attic's accounts, so everything that happened before is not what she understood...
Without Yao'er's consent, Zhao Xiang killed the servants in the attic and did not take Yao'er seriously at all.
He even used these tonics, half of which were fake, to fool Yaoer. That person didn't consider Yaoer as a friend at all!
If this is the case, then what Shan Bo said before is somewhat credible...
Na Zhaoxiang suddenly rushed in to kill people in order to destroy the evidence...
Yaoer protected Zhaoxiang before, perhaps because she was kind-hearted, and she didn't let herself know about these things. That was because Yaoer was sensible since she was a child, and she was afraid of trouble and dragging herself down...
Xining curled his knuckles and clenched them tightly. His brother was bullied right under his nose, but he just found out about it now!
Moreover, all the witnesses and evidence are long gone, and that person was the son of the deputy city lord.
Zhao Xiang is so awesome!
Xining's face was extremely gloomy: "Someone, go and bring Zhaoxiang here."
Zhao Xiang was burning the account books in the house. Although he solved the crisis this time, he actually didn't get any benefits.
All his trusted aides in the attic were dead, and he could no longer withdraw the money in the attic...
This really made him heartbroken. The more heartbroken he was, the angrier he became when he thought of Xi Yao. He was so angry that he wished he could kill Xi Yao directly when he killed those people in the attic.
He is just the city lord's younger brother, who is a little more handsome than himself, but he has everything that he can't have!
Zhao Xiang took a few deep breaths and suppressed the jealousy and anger in her heart.
"Oh no." Suddenly the door was knocked open, and a man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, the city lord sent someone to call you."
"!" Zhao Xiang suddenly opened her eyes and fell silent.
