Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 148 Showing Goodwill
Yan Ciwan smiled but said nothing.

No matter how thick-skinned he was, Du Lingzhou realized that she might be laughing at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry and embarrassed.

"What's wrong with what I said? It was you who suspected Fang Zhiyou first. Just now you accused Fang Zhiyou of murder in front of everyone. Have you forgotten this?"

Xiao Wang couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out.

"Ah Ci was just deceiving Fang Zhiyou. She probably wanted to test Fang Zhiyou to see how he would react when facing the accusation."

Du Lingzhou didn't expect the truth to be like this.

He was too proud to give in and spoke with his neck stiff.

"How do you know what Ning Ci is thinking? You are not a worm in her stomach!"

Yan Ciwan spoke at the right time: "What Xiao Liulang said is exactly what I was thinking."

Du Lingzhou was completely blocked and couldn't get off the stage.

He finally realized that these two people were in the same group and were in cahoots with each other!

He was no match for these two people, but he refused to admit defeat.

He also needs to find a helper for himself.

As Du Lingzhou thought so in his mind, his eyes fell on Chaolu. Although Chaolu was a weak woman, she was good at medicine and knew a little about autopsies. If he could win her over and use her for his own purposes, he would be like a tiger with wings.

Guipu Courtyard is next to Ruixue Tower, and the group walked a few steps and arrived at the entrance of Ruixue Tower.

Huaiyan went forward and knocked on the door, and it opened after a while.

Lingniang came out of the house and said, "My husband's condition has worsened today and he is resting in bed. If you have nothing important to do, please come back another day."

Du Lingzhou immediately said, "It just so happens that Second Lady Chao knows medical skills, why not let her check on Master Chu?"

After saying that, he took a big step forward, forced his way next to Chaolu, and grinned at her.

Chaolu was startled by his sudden action. She immediately stepped back and hid on the other side of Yan Ciwan.

Du Lingzhou frowned in dissatisfaction when he saw this. It was rare for him to take the initiative to show kindness to others, but Chaolu didn't give him any face at all.

Yan Ciwan didn't understand what Du Lingzhou was trying to do, so she took Chaolu's arm and signaled her not to be afraid.

Ling Niang hesitated: "Will this be too much trouble for Chao Er Niang?"

Chaolu was still very positive about curing illnesses and saving lives. She said shyly, "It's not a big deal."

Lingniang was overjoyed and turned sideways to make a gesture of invitation: "Everyone, please come in."

The group was settled in the main room on the first floor.

Ling Niang asked someone to serve them tea, and then said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and ask my husband if he is willing to accept Chao Er Niang's treatment?"

She pushed open the side door on the left and walked in. A moment later, she heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

Soon Lingniang came back and said softly, "My husband has agreed. Please follow me, Second Niang."

As soon as Chaolu stood up, Yan Ciwan grabbed her hand.

"I'll go with you."

Now that two people have died in the villa and the place is full of dangers, Yan Ciwan is worried about Chaolu acting alone.

Zhaolu knew that she was concerned about her safety, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

Unexpectedly, the next moment Du Lingzhou suddenly stood up and said.

"I'll go too! I can keep you two girls safe!"

Yan Ciwan frowned and looked at him. What on earth did this guy want to do?
Lingniang was in a dilemma: "My husband only told me to let Chao Erniang go upstairs alone."

Yan Ciwan said: "Alu is timid, she must have someone familiar with her by her side, I have to stay with her."

Chaolu nodded in agreement: "I want Ah Ci to accompany me. I can feel at ease with her around." Lingniang hesitated: "I have to ask my husband for permission. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, she left through the side door again.

After a while, she came back again and said politely, "Mrs. Chao and Mrs. Ning, please follow me upstairs."

Du Lingzhou asked hurriedly: "What about me?"

Lingniang looked apologetic and said, "My husband only wants to see Madam Chao Er and Madam Ning. He won't see anyone else. I hope Du Erlang will forgive me."

Du Lingzhou frowned, obviously very unhappy.

He is just a small manor owner, yet he doesn't give him any face. He really doesn't know how to appreciate your kindness!

Lingniang pushed open the side door on the left and led Yan Ciwan and Chaolu in.

The side door leads to the patio, with stairs next to it.

The three of them walked up the stairs and soon reached the second floor.

Lingniang knocked on the bedroom door. After getting permission, she pushed the door open, then turned sideways and made a gesture to Yan Ciwan and Chaolu to invite them in.

The two of them stepped over the threshold and entered the bedroom.

There was a large floor-to-ceiling screen at the door to block the wind. They walked around the screen, passed through the outer room, and came to the inner room.

Lingniang lifted the bed curtain and helped Chu Wangshan sit up.

Chu Wangshan leaned back on a soft pillow, wearing loose pajamas. His face was pale, his temples were white, and he kept coughing with his head down.

Lingniang patted his back to help him calm down, then brought a spittoon. After he finished spitting, she brought him some warm tea and carefully helped him drink it.

Yan Ciwan was watching from the side. She saw Lingniang serving Chu Wangshan wholeheartedly and with such deep love and loyalty, it was hard to tell that she was already pregnant with another man's child.

Chu Wangshan said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Second Mother."

Lingniang brought a stool and asked Chaolu to sit down beside the bed.

Chaolu began to take Chu Wangshan's pulse, and then asked a few questions, confirming that his condition was indeed much more serious. Originally, he should have had half a month left, but now it seemed that he could only last ten days.

Chaolu didn't say anything about this, but just said, "I'll write a prescription, and you can follow the prescription to get the medicine. Although it can't make Master Chu recover, it can at least relieve your pain."

Lingniang understood what she meant, her eyes slightly reddened: "I'll go get you some pen and ink."

Chu Wangshan watched her go away and sighed softly: "Lingniang is still young, but I don't have much time left. When I am gone, I don't know how she and Axue will live in the future?"

Yan Ciwan said: "No one can predict what will happen in the future. The most important thing right now is to find the murderer who murdered Huang Yefei and Lian Bantian as soon as possible."

Chu Wangshan lowered his head and started coughing again.

It took him a long while to catch his breath and he asked in a hoarse voice, "What did you find out?"

"We just went to see Fang Zhiyou, and he told us everything that happened twenty years ago." When Yan Ciwan said this, his eyes were fixed on Chu Wangshan.

She saw that the expression on Chu Wangshan's face froze for a moment.

But soon he frowned, looking confused: "What happened back then?"

Yan Ciwan expected that he would not tell the truth easily, so she said, "Twenty years ago, you led a group of people into Lingdie Temple, poisoned all the monks in the temple, and set fire to the entire temple."

"This is ridiculous! I have never done this, so why would you make up such a lie to slander me? Go call him over, I want to confront him face to face!"

Chu Wangshan was very angry and looked very upset.

Yan Ciwan said, "Fang Zhiyou not only told us about the Lingdie Temple, he also told us about the origins of Feng Wulang and Yuanyang Thief. They are both well-known thieves in the martial arts world. The government should still have their criminal records. When the snow stops, we just need to go down the mountain to the government office to check, and everything will be clear."

The anger on Chu Wangshan's face gradually subsided.

He just stared at Yan Ci Wan expressionlessly, his eyes were colder than ever before.
