“Great! This is what Mrs. Geng just said.” Aunt Cui had achieved her goal and did not continue to exert force. She pointed at Xie Mengxuan and said, “Please!”

“Wait! It’s unknown whether I’ll return alive or dead. You at least give me some time to talk to my husband.” Xie Mengxuan cast a glance at her and continued, “Are the people in our village so ruthless that I cannot even have a chat with my husband before death?”

Aunt Cui turned her eyes and seemed to be observing her. She said after a while, “Okay! We will give you time. Tomorrow at this hour, we will come to you with the holy of the village.”

Xie Mengxuan nodded with a smile, “Okay.”

She promised, and without further ado, others left the house. There was only her and Geng Zhishan who remained in the house. Geng Zhishan brought her back into the room and said nothing for a long while.

The lowered eyelids covered the raging anger in his eyes.

“Just be frank if you have something to say since it’s uncomfortable and tiring to endure the silence and play the role.”

Hearing her words, Geng Zhishan suddenly returned from his ruminations and blinked with innocence. After a while, he suddenly hugged the waist of Xie Mengxuan.

Shocked, Xie Mengxuan was about to push him away, but his arms were so strong that she failed in her attempts.

“Let me go!”

Xie Mengxuan was filled with rage, and finally, Geng Zhishan reluctantly let her go. “Darling, do you know what the so-called ‘holy’ is? That is a pig cage! They are going to drown you in a freaking pig cage!”

“Well,” Xie Mengxuan nodded perfunctorily. “Geng Zhishan, are you worried about me?”

“Yes, you are my wife. Of course, I’m worried about you.” Geng Zhishan said earnestly.

“If so, the task of saving me will be handed over to you. If I am not alive tomorrow, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!” Xie Mengxuan said in a sinister voice.

Geng Zhishan really felt speechless inside. This girl was deliberately probing him.

If he could tell her the truth, he would have already said it. Why was this girl forcing him? He would not discard her life. However, if he were to save her, she would be exposed to the truth.

Xie Mengxuan curled her lips, “You can ponder on it. Bring my things from outside.”

He went to the yard to pick up the silver bracelet; he carefully wiped the dust off, and saw the pattern on the silver bracelet. He was shocked silly after carefully scrutinizing it. It turned out that it was not a simple bracelet at all!

The hand which gripped the silver bracelet was so tight that the white joints could be seen. After a long while, he was relieved and covered his face. He never noticed that Xie Mengxuan was staring at him straight through the window.

He took a few deep breaths and handed it to Xie Mengxuan who put it on her wrist. She held her chin in one hand and smiled lightly, “Have a think.”

He frowned and groaned. “I am going to fetch you something to eat.”

Then he turned and left. Looking at him, Xie Mengxuan sneered. “Whether you are a sheep in human skin or a wolf in sheepskin, I have to figure out your true intentions: an enemy or a friend?”

She didn’t have the habit of putting herself in danger.
