C79 (2/2)

Su Zhi's brain exploded with a hum, her heart in her throat.

[What the hell is going on?]

A game in the middle of the night? Needless to say, how could an ordinary couple not sleep and come here to stir up trouble? If they were to be seen by others, would they still have any face?

Su Zhi immediately realized that someone had done something intimate.

However, she heard this man's strange voice, it did not sound like it belonged to a resident of Spring Leaf Lane.

No matter who the other party was, she had no interest in knowing. Clenching her little heart tightly, she continued to walk back.

”Be quiet, be careful of people coming.”

The woman seemed to be a little afraid, but the man seemed to be more energetic, causing a lot of noise.

Su Zhi panicked, wishing that she could immediately enter the house and have some peace of mind.

However, the heavens were not willing. Behind her, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard, accompanied by the man's loud shout: ”Little Su!”

What was there to be afraid of?

With a mournful face, Su Zhi turned around to see Li Yi desperately running towards her with a lantern in hand. As he ran, he yelled, ”Key! The key! ”

”Shh ~ Don't make a sound.” She made a motion of hush to show the missing man.

The men and women at the reeds by the river were momentarily panicked. Rustling and rustling sounds came. Under the faint moonlight, Su Zhi saw a face that was not unfamiliar to her emerging from the reeds.

He Qiniang?!

At this moment, she was staring at Su Zhi in fear, as if she had met her mortal enemy.

Before Su Zhi could react, Li Yi had already run over, panting from exhaustion. ”What did you just say? I can't hear you.” ”We've finally caught up. Why don't you stay outside for the night?”

After a long silence, Elementary Scholar Li raised his head and saw her pale face. He did not know what had happened.

”Xiaosu, what's wrong?” Did he bump into a ghost in the middle of the night?

”You … ”Why did you shout so loudly just now?”

Li Yi didn't understand. Why did she feel unhappy that he had come all the way here to give her keys?

”If I don't tell you, how will you catch up to me?”

Su Zhi was having a terrible headache. This was so bad that it would be bad if she said that she would return home late.

This adulterous affair had happened to her somehow. What was even worse was that she could have pretended that she didn't know and that it was better to avoid trouble, but now she had been interrupted by Elementary Scholar Li.

It was clear that it was not the first or second time that she and her lover had gone out to avoid each other. By the time Flowery had finished his business and returned, it was already very late, so her leaving early and returning late should have disturbed their good fortune. That was why He Qi Niang hated her.

Li Yi did not understand what was going on with Su Zhi, ”You look terrible, are you not feeling well?”

She grabbed the key, thanked him stiffly, and left.

Li Yi was at a loss. He didn't know what he had done wrong, so he stood blankly on the spot for a while before shrugging his shoulders and leaving.

Su Zhi returned to her room, locking the door and windows behind her. Her heart was still thumping non-stop, she did not expect He Qiniang, who was usually silent, to actually do such a thing.

But the thought of her being widowed even before she left the pavilion made me understand that this was human nature, but at least you had openly remarried.

Remembering Aunt Ying's curses that day, Su Zhi was somewhat frightened. If that was the case, then He Qiniang's half-blind mother-in-law must have known about her daughter-in-law's involvement.

Cursing was also a good thing, but in the end, he did not break the last window paper.

That night, Su Zhi was so tired from the worry that she could no longer sleep.

It was not yet dawn, and she could not sleep. She got up to make breakfast, and there was another knock on the door.
