Chapter 2130 It’s actually him
They explored carefully along the way. The manor was very large, so Chen Changli and Wan Shufang acted separately. Soon, Wan Shufang saw the mysterious man she had seen in Liuxiang Inn, and hurriedly held onto the pillar and squatted in the corner.
She held her breath and stared at the mysterious man, only to see him slam his fist on the table, furious: "Damn it, I was tricked."
The mysterious man took a deep breath, took off his cloak, revealing the face underneath the cloak. Just one glance and Wan Shufang's eyes widened instantly.
"How could it be him..." Wan Shufang was filled with doubts and her eyes flickered. She stared at him motionlessly to make sure that she was not seeing things. She immediately took a breath of cold air.
This person was none other than a runner from the county magistrate's office, and one of the two people who guarded the morgue.
At that time, the two were talking a lot and were afraid of ghosts. Therefore, Wan Shufang looked at them a few more times and remembered their appearance.
Before she could figure out the reason, she saw the mysterious man tearing off a piece of black cloth, revealing a portrait hanging underneath. The portrait was of the county magistrate's wife, Ming Ruyue!
At this moment, he was looking at the portrait and talking to himself: "Don't be afraid, in just three days, I can be with you, forever and ever, and no one can separate us."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang was surprised and was about to follow, but she didn't notice that she stepped on a branch with a click and broke it.
"Who's there!" The mysterious man immediately became alert and looked back. Wan Shufang was so scared that she ran away quickly, pulling Chen Changli and hurriedly leaving the manor.
Halfway through her escape, Wan Shufang stopped to take a breath when she saw no one was catching up with her.
Seeing her nervous face, Chen Changli couldn't help but worry and asked softly, "Shufang, what's wrong?"
"I'll tell you when we get back." Wan Shufang grabbed his hand and hurried back. When she got back to the county magistrate's mansion, she first dismissed everyone and made sure no one was eavesdropping. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Chen Changli, guess who I saw?"
"That mysterious man is a runner from the county magistrate's mansion. I saw him in the morgue before. It's a pity that I was exposed and couldn't catch him."
As she spoke, Wan Shufang sighed with a complicated expression. She couldn't understand why the bailiff was a mysterious person and why he wanted to poison Ming Ruyue.
Thinking of Ming Ruyue, Wan Shufang suddenly thought of the portrait and the yamen runner's thoughts about Ming Ruyue. Her eyes lit up and she instantly understood something.
"No, no, he didn't mean to harm Ming Ruyue, but he really thought that the medicine could help Ming Ruyue get rid of the county magistrate."
"how you said that?"
Touching Chen Changli's puzzled look, Wan Shufang told him everything about what she had seen in the portrait. The two looked at each other with serious eyes.
The next morning, Chen Changli went out to investigate. He first asked the county magistrate indirectly about who the mysterious man was, and then walked the streets to carefully explore the relationship between Ming Ruyue and the yamen runners.
After a lot of trouble, Chen Changli finally found out the truth and returned home with the news.
Seeing him coming back, Wan Shufang hurried over to him, her eyes showing anxiety: "Changli, what happened? Did you find out anything?"
"You guessed right. These two people do have a close relationship." Chen Changli said lightly and showed Wan Shufang what he had got. It was a letter. The content of the letter was full of the deep affection between the two people.
"That yamen runner and Ming Ruyue were childhood sweethearts. They were in love and were about to get engaged, but unexpectedly, Ming Ruyue was forced to marry the county magistrate."
"The yamen runner has not married yet, but the two of them have always been thinking about each other, so they planned all this."
Wan Shufang was not too surprised to hear this. The moment she saw the portrait, she had already guessed that this person might be Ming Ruyue's lover.
Now that we have evidence, everything becomes clearer.
"It seems that as long as we keep a close eye on Ming Ruyue, he will show up again." Wan Shufang said, and suddenly thought of something, and took out another porcelain bottle: "This medicine can make her completely cured. I will send it to her tomorrow."
"Just in the name of delivering medicine, I just keep an eye on her."
"Okay, Shufang, be careful."
Chen Changli instructed her and held her in his arms, his eyes full of guilt. If he had not handled the situation improperly this time, Wan Shufang would not have suffered so much.
Feeling Chen Changli's guilt, Wan Shufang gently patted him on the back and comforted him: "Chen Changli, you don't have to blame yourself. Radiation is not something you can handle. I have space, so naturally those who are capable should do more work."
"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am. I will make it up to you when this is over."
Hearing this, her face inexplicably turned red and she pushed the man away. It was late at night and the two of them were still flirting in the room, spending the entire night intimately.
The next day, Wan Shufang went to find Ming Ruyue. After giving her the medicine, she stayed and watched over Ming Ruyue while she took the medicine. Finally, her condition improved.
Seeing this, the county magistrate was very happy and specially set up a thank-you banquet for Chen Changli and Wan Shufang to express his gratitude for saving Ming Ruyue's life.
"Sir, Madam, thanks to you, Ruyue was able to recover as before." He looked at Ming Ruyue with deep affection, "You two have done a great favor to our county magistrate's office. In the future, if you need anything, please let me know as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang sneered and laughed with him: "You are too polite, magistrate. Doctors are kind-hearted. We would also save someone else if it was him."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people raised their glasses. It was a banquet with a harmonious atmosphere. Everyone ate and drank well until the end of the banquet. After Chen Changli and Wan Shufang left, Ming Ruyue suddenly grabbed the county magistrate.
"My dear, I feel too bored staying at home. I want to go out for a walk, okay?" She showed a pair of almond-shaped eyes with tears in them, and her pitiful look made people unable to refuse.
Seeing his wife talking to him like this, the county magistrate's heart softened instantly, and he hugged her waist lovingly: "Okay, go ahead. You have suffered a lot during this period, and you have been bedridden for a long time."
He sighed, his eyes full of heartache, but he did not notice the disgust in Ming Ruyue's eyes. She suppressed the nausea in her heart and said in a soft voice: "Yes, thank you, husband."
This one sentence made the county magistrate's bones numb, and he happily sent the maids and servants to accompany her out.
Having achieved her goal, Ming Ruyue no longer pretended to be nice to the county magistrate. After she bowed and left, she left the house with her maid. She didn't know that her conversation with the county magistrate had been overheard by Wan Shufang who was hiding not far away.
"Hehe, you want to go out at this time. I'm afraid you can't hold it back anymore." Wan Shufang sneered, her eyes flickered, and she followed him out secretly.
Ming Ruyue was very cautious and did not go straight to the destination. Instead, she took her people around and bought a lot of things, and then sent the servants to deliver them back.
With only a personal maid, Wan Shufang followed her carefully through several roads, but they arrived at an abandoned manor on the outskirts of the city again.
