After being abandoned, Tofu Xishi broke off the relationship

"I...I saw that uncle climb over the wall and enter Butcher Zhou's house."

He pointed at Wang Erma and said, "That's him. Dad and brother were out working, and I was alone at home. At 9:00 p.m., I went to the kitchen to get a big pancake to eat in the yard. Through the crack in the door, I saw him sneaking around Butcher Zhou's house."

"Later, I saw him go to the back alley, so I opened the door and quietly followed him. I found that he climbed in through the back window of Butcher Zhou's house."

Wang Erma's lips trembled. "Don't...don't talk nonsense! I have never been to Butcher Zhou's house."

Bai Bai half-closed his eyes and slammed the gavel hard, "Wang Erma, have you ever been to Butcher Zhou's house? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for torturing you."

Wang Erma's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground, trembling all over. "No... No, I didn't go to Butcher Zhou's house today."

"Come here, punish me severely!" Bai Bai shouted.

The bailiffs immediately brought the torture instruments.

Wang Erma showed a look of shock and begged for mercy, "Master... please spare my life, I will give you my first move, I will give you my first move."

"Say, Miss Su has been cleared of suspicion. Now, you are hesitating, and there are witnesses who saw you sneaking into the deceased's yard. If you don't tell the truth, I can't help you."

"My Lord, please have mercy on me! I will do this."

"I did go to my boss's house today. I arrived there at about 12:00 a.m. The boss did not let me in. He told me to leave through the door and said that I had disturbed his sleep. When he woke up, he had to meet someone..."

"Do you know who he's going to see?"

Wang Erma shook his head and said, "I don't know, sir. The boss didn't mention it, and I don't dare to ask."

"I'm going back now. But as soon as I got back to my lover's place, I ran into debt collectors. How could I afford to pay off those gambling debts?"

"I suddenly got possessed and remembered that my boss said he would meet someone after he woke up. I returned to my boss's house at about 12:00 p.m."

"I threw stones at his house and waited for a while but no one came out. I walked around his house and found that a back window of the host's house was not closed tightly, so I went in."

"I thought my boss had gone out to meet someone, so I wanted to quickly find some money and leave, but I didn't expect to find my boss dead in the bathtub. I was so scared that I almost cried."

"He quickly took fifty taels of silver and left."

Wang Erma was really scared and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Sir, I only went to steal the silver, I really didn't kill anyone! I also understood what the coroner said just now. I was at my old lover's house at that time, she can testify on my behalf."

Bai Bai asked a few more detailed questions and asked two yamen runners to find the old lover he mentioned, and also go to Qianlai Casino to verify his words.

Soon, the two yamen runners came back.

It was exactly as he said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Erma finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

Bai Bai, "Although you didn't kill Butcher Zhou, you stole other people's property and kidnapped Su Ruanruan, which caused her serious injuries. There are also files that the previous magistrate has detained. I will check them one by one. I will take you into custody first, and I will settle all the cases with you later. Come, take him away."

"Please spare my life, sir. Please have mercy on me. It was Butcher Zhou who ordered me to do this..."

Bai Bai ignored him and glanced at everyone in the hall. "I have already found out that Su Ruanruan had nothing to do with the murder of Butcher Zhou. On the contrary, it is an indisputable fact that Butcher Zhou beat Su Ruanruan severely."

"When I first took office, I wanted to rectify bad habits and make the people prosperous, but now there are still some fish that slip through the net. I reiterate again that if such things happen again, the crime will be unforgivable. I hope you will take it as a warning!"

After a pause, he looked at Zeng Yuan who looked disdainful outside the hall, and said slowly, "Women value innocence. I have learned from Dr. Wen that apart from being beaten, Su Ruanruan did not suffer any other abuses."

"You have an old mother and a wife and children. You should be sympathetic and compassionate. I hope you will not spread rumors and put her in the spotlight."

"It's getting late today. We will investigate Butcher Zhou's case tomorrow. If anyone remembers any clues related to this case, please come to the yamen. Also, I will give an explanation to the victim involved in the dusty file. Court is adjourned!"

After the court session, Mu Bai wanted to take Su Ruanruan to the inn to settle her down. He didn't want to go back to the tofu shop and trouble others.

His yard had already been sold to the dental clinic, so he had to find time to pack up some things.

I was in such a hurry to sell it that I didn't have time to organize the things and it was impossible to put the things there again.

"If you don't mind, Master Mu, you can place Miss Su in the backyard of the government office first. There are maids and servants in the backyard, and there are clothes for my daughter Baiyun to change. It is much more convenient than for Master Mu, a man."

Bai Bai had just heard from others that Mu Bai actually left the yard for Su Ruanruan. Although few people knew about this, he still knew about it.

Now even he is homeless.

Tsk, that's quite infatuated.

When he went to the tofu shop, Ruanruan was fine, wasn't she? Who knew that she would become worse in just a short while?

If I had known this earlier, I would not have left and would have stayed by her side.

The one who sold his house today to raise money for the ginseng secret medicine must be him.

Maybe Ruanruan will be influenced by him.

Mu Bai didn't want to go back and trouble the tofu shop owner, but he thought that Ruanruan really needed to be wiped and cleaned up.

It is indeed not very convenient for him as a man.

It would be great if there were a maid to help out.

Su Ruanruan was placed in a room in the backyard.

Mu Bai stood outside the door, watching the two maids busying around.

After wiping Su Ruanruan inside and out several times, they came out.

"Thank you, ladies."

The maid bowed and said, "You are welcome, sir. Dinner is being prepared and the girl's medicine is being boiled. I have a servant here, sir, please go down and rest first."

One maid was about to leave, but the other one hesitated. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "If you have time, could you please visit my young lady in prison?"

"Your young lady is back? Why is she in jail?"

He knew that Bai Yun had beaten Zeng Yuan in the academy.

At that time, he had already apologized to Zeng Yuan and the others on her behalf. Bai Yun couldn't bear to see this, and scolded him for being too kind, not knowing how to resist, but actually apologizing for her beating up those people, and left angrily.

But unexpectedly, he was found by Lord Bai and locked up.

Mu Bai saw them off and turned into the side room.

Su Ruanruan had not woken up yet, and the ends of her hair were still a little wet.

He picked up a clean white towel beside her, gently wrapped her black hair that was spread out like seaweed, and wrung it out bit by bit.

Su was sleeping soundly, the moonlight was slanting, and the soft moonlight shone on her body. Her face, which had just recovered from the fever, was pale again. Even her lips had lost their color.

Mu Bai held a comb in his hand and gently combed Su Ruanruan's hair.

"Ruanruan, when you feel better, I'll put your hair in a bun, okay?"

"I used to watch my mother do a bun, and she would joke with me that I should marry a pretty girl with long black hair and do a bun for her every day."

"At that time I refuted her without thinking. But now think about it, if you let me braid Ruanruan's hair for the rest of my life, I would be willing to do it. Can you get better soon?"
