Ziyi pulled Xing'er to the middle of the backyard and kicked her in the knee.

Xing'er immediately knelt down reflexively.

The pain in her knee made Xing'er burst into tears.

He kowtowed to Chu Xi and begged for mercy:

"Miss, have mercy on me, miss, have mercy on me."

Chu Xi supported his chin with one hand and looked at Xing'er who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.

"I can spare your life, but just tell me what you know first."

"Miss, please forgive me. I really don't know anything."

Xing'er said this and kowtowed to Chu Xi again and again.

"Don't know? Then what did you do just now?"

"My old mother is seriously ill, so I'll go back to visit her during my break."

Xing Er spoke calmly.

"Oh, mother is seriously ill?

So your family is so well-off that you can live on this main street?"

It seems that this person is not going to tell the truth.

"Peony, punish her."

"Yes, ma'am."

Shaoyao immediately went up and slapped Xing'er several times.

"Say it or not, will you say it or not?"

Peony is like a shrew cursing in the street, attacking with both hands.

Xing'er's face was swollen after being slapped, but she still didn't say a word.

"Miss, she still won't talk, what shall I do?"

Shaoyao Fan's hands were aching.

She's really a woman of character.

Chu Xi raised his hand to signal Shaoyao to stop.

He walked slowly to Xing'er and looked at her carefully.

“I know your mother lives outside the city and is indeed in poor health.

If you don't want anything to happen to your mother, you'd better tell the truth."

When Xing'er heard this, she immediately knelt down.

"Miss, please let my mother go, she is innocent."

"Then it depends on your sincerity."

Xing'er looked hesitant and thought for a moment.

She then spoke:

“A few months ago, a masked woman approached me.

She said she would give me some silver and let me report your whereabouts to her.

As long as there is news of your departure, just bring the news to the place just now."

"Who is that woman?"

Chu Xi looked down at her.

"I don't know. Every time we meet, I cover my face."

Xing Er shook her head.

"Were you meeting that woman just now?"

Chu Xi continued to ask.

"No, she is the maid of the masked woman."

"Handmaid?"

"Yes"

“What are their distinctive features?

For example, what clothes to wear?

What accessories are you wearing?"

Xing'er thought about it, then swallowed a mouthful of blood.

He lowered his head and said:

“The masked woman in the lead always wears white clothes and has a very pleasant voice.

Once, I noticed a mole on the edge of her right ear. ”

"Any more?"

"Gone."

Xing Er shook her head.

Chu Xi directly threw a bag of silver in front of Xing'er.

"Take the money and leave. You will have nothing to do with the Xiangfu from now on."

Xing'er looked up at Chu Xi in shock.

Some are unbelievable:

"Miss, you won't punish me?

Or... kill me?"

Chu Xi turned around and stopped looking at her.

"Killing you is useless. Take the money and go treat your mother's illness."

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss. Xing'er...I have no way to repay you."

Xing'er's voice choked up instantly and she kowtowed three times.

"Miss, are we really going to let her go like this?"

Shaoyao watched Xing'er leave and asked anxiously.

"Ah."

"Miss, is she going to tip off over there later?"

"No, unless she really has no brains and doesn't want to live anymore.

If that person knew he had been betrayed.

But I won't really save her life.

If I were Xing'er, I would definitely flee to another place overnight and change my name."

Chu Xi raised his hand after speaking.

The two guards understood and bowed and left.

Shaoyao and Ziyi looked at Chuxi's back, feeling emotional.

Her lady was still too...kind.

Chu Xi's guess was correct.

After Xing'er really returned to her old mother's house, she packed her luggage and left overnight.

The next morning, they pretended to take a carriage to Longxing Temple.

When the coach was halfway through the journey, an arrow flew directly towards the driver and landed on the door.

The frightened driver pulled the reins, and the horse neighed and raised its front hooves.

Zi Yi lifted the curtain and saw a man holding a sword slowly walking towards the carriage.

He exudes a murderous aura.
