Chapter 168: Honoring the Warriors
Li Dege's fierce gaze moved freely from side to side, but he didn't dare to stay on Nie Xiaoman's face anymore, and his composure had clearly changed. His right hand was lowered, but his fist was clenched.
Li Dege replied with some hesitation: "That won't be...... Hey, hey, but maybe. Yes, after all, I asked for the news indirectly, maybe ...... Hey, Brother Nie, what are the three differences? β
Nie Xiaoman raised his voice and replied: "First, we know that Chunlan, the little maid of the Shang Qin clan, has never returned to Xujiahui's house, and her father is not critically ill, and Chunlan did not leave here during Shang Qin's illness, but only ...... after Shang Qin's death."
Nie Xiaoman said this, but he deliberately held back and didn't say anything. He and Li Dege stood face to face, only two feet away.
Nie Xiaoman's powerful gaze was like a bright light on Li Dege's face. Li Dege's expression slowly changed again, and his hanging hands suddenly clasped each other. His gaze didn't seem to have the courage to make eye contact with Nie Xiaoman's gaze again.
Li Dege reluctantly said in a calm voice: "This is strange. Brother Nie, I don't know where you got these completely opposite facts? β
Nie Xiaoman sneered and replied, "I'm sorry, this sentence is exactly what I want to ask Brother Li, how do you know that Chunlan left in Shang Qin's illness?" β
"Of course, my cousin told me."
"Well, that's weird."
"What's so strange about that? She said it herself. β
"Well, if you hadn't heard it wrong, my cousin would have been lying."
"I don't think she'll lie to me, and I'm not deaf yet."
"So be it, we don't have to debate the truth or the truth at the moment. It's just that my words are not said in a vacuum, and now let's talk about the second difference. We know that Ling cousin Shang Chongming, and it seems that Yaxing's interest in sightseeing has decreased a lot recently. This time he was not invited by his friends to travel, so far, his footprints have never left the Jinling City Gate. β
"Do you know his whereabouts?"
"Yes, but there is no need to ask him where he is at this moment, when the time comes, we will naturally invite him out to meet Brother Li. There is a third point, which is even more different. Just now you said that when Shang Qin's coffin was put down, it was the head of Miss Shang Jinchuan, who was held by her niece. Mr. Xu, if you can forgive me for being presumptuous, it would be a bit funny for me to dare to say this! β
Li Dege's face turned blue as if he had been slapped a few times. His lips were completely bloodless, revealing the blackness of his two dogfat beards, and his eyelids hung downward, as if they were too heavy to lift up.
Li Dege took a long breath, still struggling, "Funny? What's funny? I don't understand what you mean. β
Nie Xiaoman's bland attitude changed suddenly, and his eyes suddenly flickered, revealing a smug expression. Jing Mo knew at a glance that Xiao Man had confirmed some of his thoughts from the reaction of the master of the big torture room.
Xiao Man replied softly, "Then, I can speak more clearly." Shang Qin's head could never have been hugged by Jin Chuan! I'm not saying that she is unwilling to fulfill her obligations as a filial daughter, but even if she wants to fulfill her filial piety and hold her mother's head, in fact, she can't hold it. β
This scheming Master Li could no longer maintain a calm attitude at this moment, although his hands were still clenched, they no longer had the elasticity to wave, and his legs were still a little trembling.
Li Dege asked intermittently, "What...... What are these words? ...... So, you ...... Who do you say was holding it? β
Nie Xiaoman shook his head and said, "You don't have to ask me about this. If you still don't understand, I think you should go inside and ask Cousin Ling, and you will naturally know. β
"Hey, hey...... Brother Nie...... You...... You...... I don't understand what you're saying! β
"Haha, it's okay if you don't understand. I think the next time we meet in court, you'll know what that means. β
"This ...... This one...... Oh, brother, I'm so foolish...... Brother Nie, please sit down again, we might as well ......"
At this time, a shrill scream suddenly interrupted Master Li's stammering words.
"Ouch! Oh no! β¦β¦ Mother...... You...... What are you doing here? You...... You can't do it! β¦β¦β
The air around the room suddenly tensed. None of them spoke, as if they could barely breathe, and all eyes were on the door, which was the direction from which the voice came.
"Oops! Mother...... Mother...... You let go! Ouch! Oh no! Uncle, come on! Oh no! Come on! Uncle! β
Jing Mo estimated that it was Shang Jinchuan's voice, and there seemed to be a terrible shock in this voice, which made several men in the hall shudder. Li Dege was the first to run to the door of the second room, held the door and pushed it hard, and then rushed in. Nie Xiaoman was about to follow in, but unexpectedly, Shang Yuanji, who had a pair of small eyes, suddenly rushed ahead. Then Nie Xiaoman and Jing Mo had already walked into the bedroom of Lai's mother and daughter.
Only Hao Shoubei remained in the hall, hesitating back and forth, not knowing what to do.
In that bedroom, the wax was brightly lit, and there was a large shelf bed lined up against the wall, and there was a middle-aged woman over the middle-aged woman, wearing an old-fashioned women's jacket of gray cloth, lying on one side of the bed.
"Uncle, uncle! Help me! β
Jing Mo saw that Na Lai's eyes were closed, his cheeks showed a pale face, and his two hands were struggling hard.
Li Dege ran to the bed, pulled Jin Chuan away, and asked in a trembling voice, "What's wrong with your mother?" β
Although Jin Chuan's right hand let go of her mother's left wrist because of Li Dege's pull, her left hand still held the woman's right wrist and refused to let go.
Shang Jinchuan almost screamed and said, "Uncle, I can't let it go." Lo and behold, the box is still in her hands! Fast! Come on! β
Li Dege grabbed Lai's right hand with manly strength, and then broke her clenched fingers, revealing a small wooden box, lined with a red soft shirt with two black pills on it.
Li Dege looked at his cousin on the bed and shouted: "Oh, this is Fu ~ Shou Ointment!" Where did it come from? You, have you swallowed it? β
Jin Chuan said with a crying voice: "Mother has a headache, this thing was originally prepared for plaster, just now she opened the drawer and stuffed this box in her mouth." She must have swallowed at least one. β
Nie Xiaoman suddenly said from behind Li Dege: "Brother Li, she must have swallowed the medicine, you see, there are still traces on her lips." β
Li Dege hurriedly said: "Oh, yesβa cousin, youβhow much did you swallow?" ...... Can you still spit it out? β
The woman's eyes and mouth were still closed, but her hands were no longer resisting. From the oil light, it can be seen that her face seems to be surprisingly pale.
At this time, Shang Yuanji, who was standing on the side of the bed, stared at his aunt with a pair of small eyes stunned, two hands clasped on his chest. There was no sense of pride in his expression, but there seemed to be a state of sympathy and pity. This was about Jing Mo's surprise, but it made Jing Mo feel that this Shang Yuanji was affectionate and righteous.
